Before driving abroad
Not all Porsche models are sold in all countries. As a
result, spare parts may not be available, or the autho-
rized Porsche dealer may not be able to carry out all
repair work.
If you plan to take your Porsche outside the conti-
nental limits of the United States or Canada, there is
the possibility that:
– Unleaded fuel may not be available.
– Unleaded fuel may have a considerably lower
octane rating. Excessive engine knock and
serious damage to both engine and catalytic
converters could result.
– Service may be inadequate due to lack of proper
service facilities, tools or diagnostic equipment.
– Replacement parts may not be available or very
difficult to get.
– The authorized Porsche dealer may not be able to
carry out all repair work.
– Technical adjustments need to be made to the
vehicle.
– Some countries require additional tools and
special spare parts to be carried in your vehicle,
make enquiries before driving abroad.
Porsche cannot be responsible for the mechanical
damage that could result because of inadequate
fuel, service or parts availability.
If you purchased your Porsche abroad and want to
bring it back home, be sure to find out about shipping
and forwarding requirements, as well as current
import and customs regulations.
Data processing in the vehicle
Electronic control units are installed in your vehicle.
Some of these are required for the operational safety
of your vehicle, while others provide assistance while
driving (driver assistance systems). In addition, your
vehicle has comfort or entertainment functions,
which are also controlled by electronic control units.
Storing technical data in the vehicle
Electronic control units have data memories that can
temporarily or permanently store technical informa-
tion about vehicle status, component stress,
servicing requirements, events or faults. Generally,
this technical information documents the status of a
component, module, system or environment, such as:
– Operating state of system components (e.g. fill
levels)
– Status messages about the vehicle or its
individual components (e.g. wheel rotations,
speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration)
– Malfunctions and faults in important system
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
– Information about events that can damage the
vehicle
– The vehicle’s response in special driving situa-
tions (e.g. triggering of an airbag, activation of the
stability control system)
– Ambient conditions (e.g. temperature)
In addition to providing the actual vehicle function,
this data is used to detect and correct faults and
enables the manufacturer to optimize vehicle
functions. Most of this data is volatile and is only
processed in the vehicle itself. Only a small amount of
the data is stored in event or fault memories. In
addition, your vehicle has comfort or entertainment
functions, which are also controlled by electronic
control units.
Reading out technical data
When having your vehicle serviced, service network
employees (e.g. workshops, breakdown services,
manufacturers) can read out the technical informa-
tion from the vehicle. Services include repairs, service
processes, warranty cases and quality assurance
measures, for example.
The data is read out using a legally prescribed
connection for OBD ("On-board diagnosis") in the
