Be careful when removing large objects
through the rear. Sharp edged objects may
damage the defogger wires in the rear win-
dow.

Luggage Compartment

Protect your luggage and other belongings
from the sun and "inquisitive eyes" by us-
ing the snap-on luggage cover.
To prevent luggage and other objects from
sliding around while the car is in motion, you
can secure them with spider straps available
through y o u r dealer or other supply firms. T h e
eyelets for this purpose can be found behind
the rear bolster and on the luggage compart-
ment floor.
WARNING
Because of inherent hazards, we do not
recommend transporting objects larger
than those fitting safely into the luggage
compartment. Keep the hatchback closed
while driving to prevent poisonous exhaust
gas from being drawn into the vehicle.

Roof Racks

Normal commercially available roof racks
cannot be fitted. If an original Porsche rack
(as available hitherto) is fitted, the permis-
sible roof load is 35 kg (77 lbs).
With the "New Porsche Roof Transport Sys-
tem" you can transport a wide variety of sports
and hobby equipment, up to a roof load of 75
kg (165 lbs).
There are many different racks to choose from.
Y o u r P o r s c h e dealer will be glad to advise you
on the versatility of the "New Roof Transport
System".
To ensure minimum noise, maximum comfort
and economy and a desirable level of safety
when driving with an unloaded roof rack, you
should not exceed a maximum speed of 1 8 0
km/h ( 1 1 0 mph).
When the roof rack is loaded, the recommen-
ded maximum speed depends on the nature,
size and weight of the load. You should not,
however, exceed a speed of 140 km/h (85
mph) at any time. Make sure that the load is
carefully mounted. Secure it additionally by
locking the roof transport system.
