If the warning lights in the instrument panel and on-
board computer go on while driving, the brake flu-
id level may be too low, or (if the brake pedal travel
has increased) one of the two brake circuits may
have failed.
A greater braking pressure will be required, stop-
ping distances will be longer and the braking be-
havior will change, particularly in curves.
With correctly adjusted brakes, and a correctly
working brake system, the pedal travel to the
point of brake actuation should be 1-3/16" to
1-9/16" or 30 to 40 mm.
Whenever the brake pedal travel exceeds this dis-
tance, have the brake system checked.

Warning!
Risk of an accident.
Any obstruction of the pedal could increase
the stopping distance.
f Always check the movement of the brake pedal
before driving and make sure that it is not ob-
structed by a floor mat or any other object.
f
Secure the floor mat to prevent it from sliding
into positions that could interfere with the safe
operation of your vehicle.
Your Porsche dealer will be glad to offer you
floor mats of the correct size including a secur-
ing possibility.
Note
In case one of the two brake circuits fails, in-
creased pedal travel is required to bring your vehi-
cle to a full stop.
Warning!
To avoid overheating and premature wear of
the brakes:
f Before descending a steep grade, reduce
speed and shift the transmission into a lower
gear or driving position to control speed.
f Do not ride the “brakes” by resting your foot on
the pedal when not intending to apply brake
pressure.
f
Do not hold the pedal down too long or too of-
ten.
This could cause the brakes to get hot and not
function properly.
