Maintenance and Car Care
227
f
Always monitor your fuel consumption.
f
Drive smoothly, avoid abrupt changes in speed
as much as possible.
f
Avoid jack rabbit starts and sudden stops.
f
Do not drive longer than necessary in the lower
gears. Shifting into a higher gear early without
lugging the engine will help save fuel.
f
Prolonged “warm up” idling wastes gas. Start
the vehicle just before you are ready to drive.
Accelerate slowly and smoothly.
f
Switch off the engine if stationary for longer
periods.
f
Any additional weight carried in the vehicle
reduces fuel economy. Always keep cargo to
a minimum and remove all unnecessary items.
f
Organize your trips to take in several errands
in one trip.
f
All electrical accessories contribute to
increased fuel consumption.
f
Only switch on the air conditioning when
necessary.
f
Do not drive with the Roof Transport System
mounted unless you need it.
The EPA estimated miles per gallon (mpg) is
to be used for comparison purposes, actual
mileage may be different from the estimated
mpg, depending on your driving speed,
weather conditions and trip length. Your
actual highway mileage may be less than the
estimated mpg.
f
Please observe all local and national speed
limits.
Operating Your Porsche in other
Countries
Government regulations in the United States and
Canada require that automobiles meet specific
emission regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, cars built for the U.S. and Canada differ
from vehicles sold in other countries.
If you plan to take your Porsche outside the
continental 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.
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.
