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 considerably lower

octane rating. Excessive engine knock and

serious damage to both engine and catalytic

converters could result;

service may be inadequate due to lack of

proper service facilities, tools or diagnostic

equipment;

replacement parts may not be available or very

difficult to get.

Porsche cannot be responsible for the

mechanical damage that could result

because of inadequate fuel, service or parts

availability.
If you purchased your Porsche 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 regulations.
