Break-in Hints for the first
1.000 miles/1.600 kilometers
Engine Exhaust
There are no specific break-in rules for your
Porsche; however, by taking a few precautions
you can help extend the service life and per-
formance of your engine.
During the first 1.000 miles/1.600 km, all work-
ing components of the engine adjust to each
other to a certain degree. Therefore: Avoid full
throttle starts and abrupt stops. Change speeds
frequently. Vary the throttle load.
Do not exceed max. engine speed of 5.000
rpm (revolutions per minute).
Do not run a cold engine at high rpm or in
Neutral.
Do not let the engine labor, especially when
driving uphill. Shift to the next proper gear in
time (use the most favorable rpm range).
There may be a slight stiffness in the steer-
ing, gearshifting or other controls during the
break-in period which will gradually disappear.
Never lug the engine in high gear at low
speeds. This rule applies all the time, not
just during the break-in period.
Breaking in brake pads
Brake pads do not have maximum braking
efficiency when the car is new. Therefore, more
pedal force is necessary during the first 100 to
150 miles/150 to 250 km. This also applies to
replacement brake pads.
Breaking in new tires
New tires do not have maximum traction. They
tend to be slippery. Break in new tires by driv-
ing at moderate speeds during the first 60 to
120 miles/100 to 200 km.
Engine Oil Consumption
During the break-in period oil consumption
may be slightly higher than normal.
The rate of oil consumption depends on the
quality and viscosity of oil, the speed at which
the engine is operated, the climate, road con-
ditions as well as the amount of dilution and
oxidation of the lubricant.
WARNING
• Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled.
• Never start or let the engine run in a
closed garage.
• Exhaust fumes from the engine contain
carbon monoxide, which is a colorless
and odorless gas. Carbon monoxide can
be fatal if inhaled.
• If you smell gas fumes in the vehicle,
drive with the windows open but keep
the hatchback closed. Have the cause
immediately located and corrected.
• Because of inherent hazards, we do not
recommend transporting objects larger
than those fitting safely into the luggage
compartment. Keep the hatchback clos-
ed while driving to prevent poisonous
exhaust gas from being drawn into the
vehicle.
• Never carry additional fuel containers
in your vehicle. Such containers, full or
partially empty, may leak, cause an ex-
plosion, or result in fire in case of a col-
lision.
