Porsche 911 Carrera - Manual (Page 3)

Dear Owner,
We would like to thank you for your
purchase of a Porsche Sports car.
Judging by the car you have chosen,
you are a motorist of a special breed,
and you are probably no novice when it
comes to automobiles.
Remember however, as with any vehicle,
you should take time to familiarize
yourself with your Porsche and its
performance characteristics. Always
drive within your own unique capabilities
as a driver and your level of experience
with your Porsche. Ensure that anyone
else driving your Porsche does the
same. To prevent or minimize injury,
always use your safety belts. Never
consume alcohol or drugs before or
during the operation of your vehicle.
This Owner’s Manual contains a host
of useful information. Please take the
time to read this manual before you drive
your new Porsche. Become familiar with
the operation of your Porsche car for
maximum safety and operating pleasure.
The better you know your Porsche,
the more pleasure you will experience
driving your new car. Always keep your
Owner’s Manual in the car, and give it
to the new owner if you ever sell your
Porsche.
A separate Maintenance Booklet
explains how you can keep your Porsche
in top driving condition by having
it serviced regularly. A separate
Warranty and Customer Information
Booklet contains detailed information
about the warranties covering your
Porsche.
For U.S. only:
If you believe that your vehicle has a fault
which could cause a crash, injury or
death, you should immediately inform
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to
notifying Porsche Cars North America,
Inc. (Porsche Cars N.A.).
If NHTSA receives similar complaints,
it may open an investigation, and if it
finds that a safety problem exists in a
group of vehicles, it may order a recall
and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA
cannot become involved in individual
problems between you and your dealer,
or Porsche Cars N.A..
To contact NHTSA, you may call
the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free
at 1–888–327–4236 (TTY:
1–800–424–9153); go to
http://www.safercar.gov; or write to:
Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590.
You can also obtain other informa-
tion about motor vehicle safety from
http://www.safercar.gov.
Your car has thousands of parts and
components which have been designed
and manufactured in accordance with
Porsche’s high standards of engineering
quality and safety.
Any alteration of the vehicle may
negate or interfere with those
safety features built into the vehicle.
