Safety and Driving Pleasure

– uses driving skills wisely and always drives within
her/his own capabilities and the level of famili-
arity with the vehicle.
You will find helpful hints in this manual on how to
perform most of the checks and actions listed on the
following pages. If in doubt, have these checks per-
formed by your authorized Porsche dealer.
Avoid distractions
If you operate the PCM or other vehicle components
while driving, you will be distracted from the traffic
situation and may not be able to respond to danger-
ous situations in time. For your safety, some func-
tions are only available when the vehicle is
stationary.
e Never adjust the mirror, seat or steering wheel
while driving. The seat or steering wheel may
move further than desired. You may lose control
of the vehicle. Adjust the mirror, seat and steer-
ing wheel position as required before your
journey.
e
Only use the multifunction steering wheel, radio,
navigation system, etc. while driving if the traffic
situation allows you to do so safely. In case of
doubt, stop the vehicle.
e Do not use a phone or other mobile devices while
driving.
e Only make or receive calls using hands-free
equipment.
e Do not reach between the steering-wheel spokes
while driving. Otherwise, you may not be able to
react in time to dangerous situations in time.
Be aware of braking behavior in rain or snow
In heavy rain, while driving through water or after
leaving a car wash, the brake disks are coated with a
water film, the braking action may be delayed and
increased pressure may be required.
Following a long drive over salted or gritted roads, a
coating may form on the brake disks and pads that
significantly reduces friction and therefore also the
braking action.
e Dry the brakes by frequent braking, particularly
before you park the vehicle. This will prevent
corrosion.
e Corroded brakes tend to "judder". If braking
comfort is noticeably impaired, have the brake
system checked.
Suitable tires and appropriate driving style
> Please see chapter "Wheels and Tires" on
page 316.
Reacting correctly to uneven running and vibration
Damage to tires or the vehicle can cause uneven
running or vibration while driving. You may lose
control of the vehicle.
e
Reduce speed immediately, but without braking
sharply.
e
Stop the vehicle and inspect the tires. If a cause
cannot be established for the fault, drive on
carefully and have the fault corrected. Visit an
authorized Porsche dealer, as they have trained
technicians and the necessary parts and tools.
Keeping tires in a safe condition
Damaged tires can burst, especially at high speeds.
Prevent damage to the tires by driving carefully.
e Cross curb edges slowly and at right angles if
possible.
e Avoid driving over steep or sharp curbs.
Running in new tires
New tires have not yet achieved their maximum grip
and tend to slip.
e Run in new tires at a moderate speed for the first
125 miles (200 km).
