• Prolonged "warm up" idling wastes gas.
Start the vehicle just before you are ready
to drive. Accelerate slowly and smoothly.
• Any additional weight carried in the vehi-
cle reduces fuel economy. Always keep
cargo to a minimum and remove all un-
necessary items.
• Organize your trips to take in several er-
rands.
• Use air conditioner only when needed.
• All electrical equipment contribute to in-
creased fuel consumption.
The EPA estimated m.p.g. is to be used
for comparison purposes, actual mileage
may be different from the estimated m.
p.g., depending on your driving speed,
weather conditions and trip length. Your
actual highway mileage will probably be
less than the estimated m.p.g.
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 considerable
lower octane rating. Excessive engine
knock and serious damage to both en-
gine and catalytic converter could result;
• service may be inadequate due to lack of
proper service facilities, tools or diagnos-
tic equipment;
• replacement parts may not be available
or very difficult to get.
Porsche cannot be responsible for the
mechanical damage that could result be-
cause of inadequate fuel, service or parts
availability.
If you bought your car 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 regula-
tions.
Roof racks
Normal commercially available roof racks
cannot be fitted. If an original Porsche rack
(as available hitherto) is fitted, the permissi-
ble roof load is 35 kg (77 lbs).
With the "New Porsche Roof Transport Sys-
t e m " you can transport a wide variety of
sports and hobby equipment, up to a roof
load of 75 kg (165 lbs).
There are many different racks to choose
from. Your Porsche dealer will be glad to ad-
vise you on the versatility of the "New Roof
Transport System".
To ensure minimum noise, maximum com-
fort and economy and a desirable level of
safety when driving with an unloaded roof
rack, you should not exceed a maximum
speed of 180 km/h (110 mph).
When the roof rack is loaded, the recom-
mended maximum speed depends on the
nature, size and weight of the load. You
should not, however, exceed a speed of 140
km/h (85 mph) at any time. Make sure that
the load is carefully mounted. Secure it addi-
tionally by locking the roof transport system.
