Porsche 928 S 1984 Owner's Manual page 9

Dear Porsche-Owner
A lot has gone into the manufacture of your
Porsche, including advanced engineering,
techniques, rigid quality control and demand-
ing inspections. These engineering and safety
features will be enhanced by you...
the safe driver...
who knows his car and all controls,
who maintains his vehicle properly,
who uses his driving skills wisely.
You will find helpful hints in this manual on how
to perform most of the checks listed on the fol-
lowing pages. If in doubt, have these checks
performed by your Porsche dealer.

Before going on a trip...
First things first
• Turn the engine off before you attempt any
checks or repairs on the vehicle.
• Be sure tires are inflated correctly. Check
for damage and tire wear.
• See that wheel bolts are properly tightened
and not loose or missing.
• Check engine oil level, add if necessary.
Make it a habit to have engine oil checked
with every fuel filling.
• Check coolant level to assure sufficient en-
gine cooling.
• Be sure you have a well charged battery.
• Check brake fluid level. If too low, have
brake system checked.
• Replenish windshield washer fluid.
• Check if engine hood is locked safely.
• Replace worn or cracked wiper blades.
• See that all windows are clear and unob-
structed.
• Keep air intake slots and area between en-
gine hood and windshield free of snow and
ice, so that the heater and the windshield
wipers work properly.
• Check whether all light lenses are clean.
• Be sure all lights are working and head-
lights are aimed correctly.
• Check under vehicle for leaks.
• Be sure all luggage is stowed securely.
Emergency equipment
It is good practice to carry emergency equip-
ment in your vehicle. Some of the things you
should have are: window scraper, snow brush,
container or bag of sand or salt, emergency
light, small shovel, first-aid kit, etc.
