Maintenance, Car Care
Cleaning the engine compartment
Caution!
Risk of damage, e.g. to the alternator, paint-
ed surfaces, and the valve covers.
f Never use high-pressure cleaning units with a
round-jet nozzle.
f
Always maintain a minimum distance of 50 cm
(21 in.).
f
Always cover the lid over the brake fluid reser-
voir prior to cleaning with a high-pressure
cleaner. Never point the cleaning jet directly at
the lid.
f Do not point the cleaning jet directly at any of
the aforementioned components.
Note on operation
If the vehicle is driven off-road frequently and after
driving on salted or gritted roads:
f
Clean the engine compartment regularly.
Windows
The road dust which settles on the windshield and
windows contains particles of tire rubber and oil
residue. The interior trim and upholstery release
particles, particularly in strong sunlight, which col-
lect on the insides of the windows. These deposits
are augmented by impurities in the air which en-
ters the car through the fresh air vents.
f Clean all windows regularly, inside and outside,
with Porsche window cleaner.
f Make sure not to damage the TV antenna in the
side window when cleaning.
f If you use a chamois leather for the windows,
do not use it for paintwork as it will otherwise
pick up a certain amount of preservative or pol-
ish and could smear the windows and thus im-
pair vision.
f Remove dead insects with insect remover.
Wiper blades
Wiper blades that are in perfect condition are vital
for a clear view.
f Replace the wiper blades twice per year (be-
fore and after the cold season) or whenever
wiper performance deteriorates.
f Periodically clean wiper blades with Porsche
window cleaner, especially after the vehicle
has been washed in a car wash.
If they are very dirty (e.g. with insect remains),
they can be cleaned with a sponge or cloth.
