Rubber moldings
Rubber moldings around the doors and the
rear hood should be lightly coated with gly-
cerine or talcum to protect them against
freezing.
Locks
Locks can freeze in the winter if water gets
into the lock cylinders. When washing your
car in the winter, do not aim the water jet
directly at the locks. It is a good idea to tape
the keyholes to prevent the water from seep-
ing into the lock cylinder. Water in the locks
must be removed with compressed air after-
wards. Squirt lock de-icer, antifreeze, or
glycerine into the lock cylinders to prevent
freezing.
To open a frozen lock, warm up the key be-
fore inserting it. Do not use hot water as it will
later freeze in the lock.
Emergency equipment
It is good planning to carry emergency
equipment in your car. Some of the things
you should have are: window scraper, snow
brush, container or bag of sand or salt, flares,
small shovel, first-aid kit, etc.
Note: We recommend to have a mainten-
ance service performed prior to the cold sea-
son and in accordance with the Maintenance
Schedule.
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 converter could result;
• service may be inadequate due to lack of
proper service facilities, tools or diagno-
stic equipment;
• replacement parts may not be available
or very difficult to get.
Porsche cannot be responsible for the me-
chanical damage that could result because
of inadequate fuel, service or parts availabi-
lity.
If you bought your car 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 regula-
tions.
