Maintenance and Car Care
Cleaning carpet, floor mats
f
Use a vacuum cleaner or a brush (not too soft)
for cleaning.
f
Heavy dirt and stains can be removed with
a stain remover.
We recommend Porsche stain remover.
To protect carpets, the Porsche range of
accessories includes mats of the correct size and
with the appropriate fastening.
Improperly secured floor mats can obstruct pedal
travel.
f
Always check the movement of the pedals
before driving and make sure that they are not
obstructed 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 – do not lay them
loosely in the vehicle.
Your authorized Porsche dealer will be glad to
offer you floor mats of correct size including a
securing possibility.
Cleaning airbag covers
Incorrect modifications may damage the airbag
system. The airbag may not deploy properly in the
event of an accident.
f
Do not make any modifications whatsoever to
individual components, such as the padded
covers on the steering wheel, the underside of
the instrument panel, front seats, roof pillars,
roof liners and the rear interior trim panels
around the seat backrest.
f
Have your authorized Porsche dealer to clean
these components.
Cleaning fabric linings
f
Fabric linings on pillars, roofliner and sun
visors, etc. must be cleaned only using
suitable cleaning agents or a suitable dry
foam and a soft brush.
Alcantara care
f
Do not use leather care products to clean
Alcantara.
For regular care, it is sufficient to clean the
cover with a soft brush.
Strong abrasion or rubbing when cleaning will
produce a lasting change to the surface.
Cleaning when lightly soiled
f
Wet a soft cloth with water or a neutral soap
solution and wipe off the dirt.
Cleaning when heavily soiled
f
Wet a soft cloth with lukewarm water or
thinned white spirit and dab the dirt from the
outside in.
Cleaning the safety belts
f
Use mild detergent to clean soiled belts.
f
When drying, avoid direct sunlight.
f
Only use suitable cleaning agents.
f
Do not tint or bleach the belts.
The belt fabric could be weakened,
thus affecting safety.
Laying up your Porsche
If you wish to keep your Porsche off the road for
a lengthy period, we recommend that you contact
your authorized Porsche dealer.
They will be glad to advise you about the
necessary measures, e.g. corrosion prevention,
care, maintenance and storage.
Further important information on laying up your
Porsche can be found in other sections.
