Front And Rear Lids - Porsche 911 CARRERA - 2003 Manual

Warning!
Danger of fire and serious personal in-
juries.
t>
Do not apply additional undercoating or rust-
proofing on or near the exhaust manifold, ex-
haust pipes, catalytic converters or heat
shields. During driving the substance used for
undercoating could overheat and ignite.
t>
Before applying fresh underseal, carefully
remove deposits or dirt and grease. Once it
has dried, the new undercoating compound
forms a tough protective coating which pro-
vides efficient rust-proofing of the floor panels
and components.
t>
Always apply a fresh coating of suitable pre-
servative to unprotected areas after cleaning
the underside of the body, the transmission,
the engine or carrying out repairs to under-
body, engine or transmission components.
Effective rust-proofing is particularly important
during the cold weather season. If your car is
driven frequently in areas where salt has been
spread on the roads, the whole engine compart-
ment should be cleaned thoroughly after the
winter to prevent salt from causing any lasting
damage. A full under-body wash should also be
performed at the same time.

Maintenance, Car Care
Door, roof, lid and window seals
t> Wash dirt (e.g. abrasion, dust, road salts)
from all seals regularly using warm soapy
water. Do not use any chemical cleaning
agents or solvents.
When there is a frost hazard, the outer door
seals and the front and rear lid seals can be
protected against freezing into place by a suit-
able care product.
In order to prevent damage to the anti-fric-
tion coating, the inner door seals, the con-
vertible top seals and hardtop seals must
not be treated with care products.

Use
only
clean water and a little dishwashing
detergent to clean light lenses, plastic head-
light lenses, plastic parts and surfaces.

much pressure.
The Porsche inside window cleaner is also
