on race tracks or through an aggressive driving
style.
Please consult an authorized Porsche dealer
about the current guidelines in effect before
such use of your vehicle.
Setting and operating vehicle components
when driving
Warning!
There is a danger of accident if you set or
operate the on-board computer, radio,
navigation system, telephone or other
equipment while driving. This could distract
you from the trafc and cause you to lose
control of the vehicle resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
Operate the components while driving only if
the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
Carry out any complicated operating or setting
procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
Portable fuel containers
Danger!
Portable fuel containers may leak, whether
they are full or partially empty. Fuel leaking
from a portable container carried in your
vehicle could, in case of an accident, cause a
re or explosion, resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
Never carry additional fuel in portable contain-
ers in your vehicle.
Engine exhaust
Danger!
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled.
Engine exhaust fumes have many compo-
nents which you can smell. They also contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless
and odorless gas. Carbon monoxide can
cause unconsciousness and even death if
inhaled.
Never start or let the engine run in an
enclosed, unventilated area. It is not rec-
ommended to sit in your car for prolonged
periods with the engine on and the car not
moving.
Ground clearance
Caution!
Risk of damage. The vehicle may touch
the ground as a result of reduced ground
clearance.
Drive carefully and slowly on steep slopes
(e.g. parking lots, curbs, uneven roads, lifting
platforms, etc.).
Avoid steep ramps.
