Wiper Blades
Maintenance notes
Risk of damage if wiper blades are not cleaned
properly. The graphite coating on the wiper blades
may be damaged.
f Do not clean the wiper blades using a cloth or
sponge, but rinse with clean water.
Risk of damage due to unintentional folding back
of wiper arm and frozen wiper blades.
f Always hold the wiper arm securely when
replacing the wiper blade.
f Thaw the wiper blades before lifting them from
the window.
Wiper blades that are in perfect condition are vital
for a clear view.
f Have the wiper blades replaced twice per year
(before and after the cold season) or if wiper
performance deteriorates or the blades are
damaged.
f After switching off the ignition, press the wiper
stalk down once 4.
The wipers move upwards by approx. 45°.
f Clean the windshield regularly with window
cleaner, especially after washing the vehicle in
a car wash.
We recommend Porsche window cleaner.
If they are very dirty (e.g. soiled with insect
remains), they can be cleaned with a sponge
or cloth.
If the wiper blades judder or squeak, this may be
due to the following:
– If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car
wash, wax residues may adhere to the
windshield. These wax residues can be
removed only by using window cleaner
concentrate.
– The wiper blades may be damaged or worn.
f Have damaged wiper blades replaced
immediately.
f Please see the chapter “WASHER FLUID”
on page 167.
Replacing wiper blades

Risk of damage. If the wiper blades are not
changed properly, they can come loose when the
car is moving.

the wiper arm.
Emission Control System
In the interest of clean air
Pollution of our environment has become a
problem that is of increasing concern to all of us.
We urge you to join us in our efforts for cleaner air
in controlling the pollutants emitted from the
automobile.
Porsche has developed an emission control
system that controls or reduces those parts of
emissions that can be harmful to our environment.
Your Porsche is equipped with such a system.
Porsche warrants the Emission Control System in
your new car under the terms and conditions set
forth in the Warranty Booklet.
You, as the owner of the vehicle, have the
responsibility to provide regular maintenance
service for the vehicle and to keep a record of all
maintenance work performed. To facilitate record
keeping, have services performed by authorized
Porsche dealers. They have Porsche trained
technicians and special tools to provide fast and
efficient service.
To assure efficient operation of the Emission
Control System:
f Have your vehicle maintained properly and in
accordance with the recommendations
described in your Maintenance Booklet. Lack
of proper maintenance, as well as improper
use of the vehicle, will impair the function of
the emission control system and could lead to
damage.
f Do not alter or remove any component of the
emission control system.
f Do not alter or remove any device, such as
heat shields, switches, ignition wires, valves,
etc., which are designed to protect your
vehicle's emission control system. In addition
