Secure the floor mat to prevent it from sliding
into positions that could interfe re with the safe
operation of your veh icle. Your Porsche dealer
will be glad to offer you nonskid floo r mats of
the co rrect size.
Note
In case one of the two brake circuits fails,
increased pedal travel is required to bring your
vehicle to a full stop.
Warning!
To avoid overheating and premature wear of
the b rakes:
Before descending a steep grade, reduce
speed and shift the transmis sion into a lower
gear or driving position to control speed.
Do not ”ride the brakes” by resting your foot
on the pedal when not intending to apply brake
pressure.
Do not hold the pedal down too long or too
often. This could cause the brakes to get hot
and not function properly.
Brake bo oster
The brake booster assists braking only when
the engine is running.
When the car is moving while the engi ne is not
running, or if the brake booste r is defective, more
pressure on the brake pedal is required to bring
the car to a stop. If this happens, ABS and PSM will
also not operate.
Moistu re or road salt on brakes affects braking.
When the vehicle is driven on salted roads for
extended peri ods, the brakes should be washed
down thoroughly ab out every 2 weeks. A n auto -
matic carw as h fac ility cannot do this job properly.
Brakes will d ry after a few cautious brake applica-
tions.
Warning!
Risk of an accident, resulting in serious
personal inju ry or death. Driving through
water may reduce traction. Moisture on
brakes from road wate r, car wash, or coating
of road salt may affect braking efciency.
Cautiously apply brakes to test brakes after
being exposed.
Brake wear
Your car ha s excellent brakes, but they are still
subject to we ar. T he rate at which they wear
