Car care instructions
Regular, skilled care helps to maintain the value of
your Porsche and can be a precondition for the
upholding of claims under the vehicle guarantee
and warranty.
You can obtain suitable care products at your
Porsche partner, individually or as a complete set.
f
Follow the instructions for use on the
packaging of care products.
f
Keep care products out of reach of children.
f If necessary, dispose of these fluids properly.
In order to ensure that the vehicle’s condition is
expertly checked and that the guarantee remains
valid for the full period, every Porsche partner will
inspect the level of care of the vehicle and record
the results in writing. For this purpose, the
Porsche partner will issue a Condition Report and
also certify this in the “Guarantee and Mainte-
nance” booklet under “Long-life Guarantee Condi-
tion Report”.
High-pressure cleaning units
d
Warning!
High-pressure cleaning units can damage
the following components:
– Tyres,
– Logos, emblems,
– Painted surfaces,
– Widened wings,
– Lock and latch of the removable towing attach-
ment,
– Seals of the electrically retractable ball hitch,
– Generator, valve covers,
– ParkAssist sensors.
f
Please observe the operating instructions from
the unit manufacturer.
f Always cover the lid of the brake fluid reservoir
prior to cleaning. Never point the cleaning jet
directly at the lid.
f When cleaning with a flat-jet nozzle or a so-
called “dirt blaster”, maintain a minimum
distance of 50 cm.
f Never use high-pressure cleaning units with a
round-jet nozzle.
A high-pressure cleaning unit with round nozzle
will damage your vehicle. The tyres are partic-
ularly susceptible to damage.
f Do not point the cleaning jet directly at any of
the aforementioned components.
Care of door lock
f
To prevent the door lock from freezing during
the cold season, cover the lock barrel with a
suitable adhesive tape during washing.
If the lock freezes nevertheless, use an ordinary
de-icer.
In many cases, a well warmed key can help.
Never use excessive force.
