Porsche 911 Carrera - Manual (Page 265)

Once cleaned, leather (particularly the heavily
stressed leather seats) must be treated only with
Porsche leather care liquid.
Fabric, upholstery, carpets and oor-mats
Use only a vacuum cleaner or a medium stiff
brush.
Remove stains and spots with Porsche stain
remover.
The Porsche range of accessories includes
nonskid floor-mats to protect the carpets in
summer and winter.
Warning!
Risk of accident resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
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.
Secure the floor-mat to prevent it from sliding
into positions that could interfere with the safe
operation of your vehicle - do not install them
loosely in the vehicle. Your Porsche dealer will
be glad to offer you nonskid floor-mats of the
correct size.
Alcantara
Regular care
Do not use a leather care product to clean
Alcantara.
For regular care it is sufficient to clean the cover
with a soft brush.
Heavy abrasion or rubbing when cleaning causes a
permanent change in the surface.
Cleaning when lightly soiled
Wet a soft cloth with water or a neutral soap
solution and wipe off the dirt.
Cleaning when heavily soiled
Wet a soft cloth with lukewarm water or
thinned white spirit and dab the dirt from the
outside in.
Safety belts
If it becomes necessary to clean the belts, you can
use any mild washing agent. Allow the belts to dry
prior to retracting, but avoid direct sunlight.
Only use suitable cleaners. If unsuitable
cleaners are used or any attempt is made
to dye or bleach the belts, the webbing may be
weakened and thus constitute a safety risk.
Storing your Porsche
If you intend to store your Porsche for a prolonged
period, please consult your authorized Porsche
dealer. The staff will be glad to advise you on the
most suitable and necessary methods.
Clean your vehicle thoroughly inside and
outside. Clean the engine compartment.
The under carriage and chassis components
should be free of dirt and salt deposits.
Fill up the fuel tank.
Change the oil and oil filter, and run the engine
for several minutes.
Increase the tire pressure to 58 psi (4 bar). It
is not recommended to lift the vehicle, due to
the possibility of corrosion on shock absorber
piston shafts. The vehicle should be moved
slightly, approximately every four weeks, to
prevent flat spot on the tires.
Climate control
The air conditioning system should be in good
working condition and fully charged.
Windshield/Headlight washer
Check and correct antifreeze/cleaning
solution level as necessary.
