Maintenance and Car Care
Cleaning headlights, lights, interior and
exterior plastic components, adhesive
foils, radar sensor for adaptive cruise
control and Reversing camera
Observe the following points:
f
Use
only
clean water and a little dishwashing
liquid or interior window cleaner to clean
headlights, lights, plastic components and
surfaces.
Use a soft sponge or a soft, lint-free cloth.
Information
An interior window cleaner can also be used to
clean plastic surfaces (always read the cleaning
instructions on the container).
We recommend Porsche interior window cleaner.
f
Gently wipe the surface without applying too
much pressure.
f
Do not clean when dry.
f
Never use other chemical cleaners or
solvents.
f
Rinse cleaned surfaces with clear water.
Alloy wheels
Metal particles (e.g. brass or copper in brake
dust) must not remain too long on alloy wheels.
Contact corrosion can cause pitting.
Information
Cleaners with an oxide-removing effect or wrong
pH value, as are commonly used for other metals,
as well as mechanical tools and products, will
damage the oxide layer and are therefore
unsuitable.
f
Use only cleaners for alloy wheels
(pH value 9.5). Products with the wrong
pH value can destroy the protective layer
on the wheels
.
We recommend Porsche cleaner for alloy rims.
f
If possible, wash the wheels every two weeks
with a sponge or washing brush. If the wheels
are exposed to road salt, grit or industrial dust,
weekly cleaning is necessary.
f
Every three months, after cleaning, grease the
wheels with car wax or an acid-free grease
(e.g. Vaseline).
Rub the grease in well with a soft cloth.
f
Please see the chapter “CLEANING IN CAR
WASHES” on page 212.
If cleaning agents (e.g. wheel cleaning agents)
come into contact with the brake disks, the
resulting film on the brake disks can impair
braking performance.
f
Make sure that no cleaning agent comes into
contact with the brake disks.
f
If cleaning agent has come into contact with
the brake disks, clean the brake disks
thoroughly with a strong jet of water.
f
Paying attention to any road users behind you,
dry the brake disks by applying the brakes.
Stainless steel tailpipes
Stainless steel tailpipes can discolor due to
soiling, strong heat and combustion residues.
The original shine can be achieved again using
commercially available metal lustre paste or
metal polish.
Cleaning door, roof, lid and window seals
The lubricant coating on the inner door seals may
be damaged by unsuitable cleaning and care
agents.
f
Do not use any chemical cleaning agents or
solvents.
f
Do not use any preservative agents.
f
Wash dirt (e.g. abrasion, dust, road salts) from
all seals regularly using warm soapy water.
f
If there is a risk of frost, protect the outer door
seals and the lid and flap seals against freezing
into place with a suitable care product.
