Porsche 944 Driver Manual page 2

Judging by the car you have chosen, you are a
motorist of a special breed, and you are
probably no novice when it comes to
automobiles. Remember however that, as with
any vehicle, you should take time to familiarize
yourself with your Porsche and its performance
characteristics. Always drive within your own
unique capabilities as a driver and your level of
experience with your Porsche. Ensure that
anyone else driving your Porsche does the
same. To prevent or minimize injury, always
use your safety belts. Never drink alcohol
before or while driving.
This Owner's Manual contains a host of useful
information. Please read this manual before
you drive your new Porsche. Acquaint yourself
with your car's features and know how to
operate your Porsche more safely. The better
you know your Porsche, the more pleasure you
will experience driving your new car.
A separate Warranty and Maintenance booklet
explains how you can keep your Porsche in top
driving condition by having it serviced regularly.
