Safety and Driving Pleasure
e Have all service work and modifications to the
vehicle performed exclusively by an authorized
Porsche dealer, as they have trained technicians
and the necessary parts and tools. This ensures
that your vehicle remains reliable and safe to
drive, and that no consequential damage occurs
to your vehicle.
e Do not modify your Porsche. Any modifications
could create dangerous conditions or impair
safety engineering features built into your car.
Diagnostic socket
The diagnostic socket is used to connect diagnostic
devices in authorized Porsche dealers.
External equipment (e.g. navigation units, head-up
displays) connected to the diagnostic socket can
impair operation of the vehicle systems and run
down or damage the battery (exhaustive discharge)
when the ignition is switched off. The external
equipment and cables can obstruct clearance
around the pedals or become caught between the
pedals when braking or changing direction.
e Do not connect any equipment to the diagnostic
socket.
e Do not place any equipment or cables in the
driver's footwell.

Spare parts for your Porsche
e Only use genuine Porsche spare parts for your
vehicle or spare parts of a similar quality, which
have been manufactured according to the spec-
ifications and production requirements of Por-
sche. This helps to ensure that your vehicle
remains reliable and safe to drive, and that no
consequential damage occurs to your vehicle.
These parts are available from authorized Por-
sche dealers.
e Only use accessories that originate from the
Porsche Tequipment range or that have been
tested and approved by Porsche. For information
on Porsche Tequipment: Contact an authorized
Porsche dealer.
Information
If other spare parts or accessories are used, Porsche
does not accept any liability for damages caused by
these parts.
Even if a supplier has obtained a General Operating
License for spare parts or accessories, the safety of
the vehicle may still be affected.
The use of spare parts or accessories not approved
by Porsche may also void your vehicle warranty.
Load, safety systems, children in
the vehicle: Knowledge for Por-
sche drivers
With your Porsche, you can accelerate to above 60
mph (100 km/h) within a few seconds. This being
said, you should do everything necessary to ensure
safety before driving.
Correct use of seat belts
The seat belts can only protect you from injuries if
they are functional and are used correctly.
Information
Severe injuries can occur at speeds as low as 20
mph (30 km/h). Safety systems only protect when
used in combination. For example, the airbags can
protect you properly only if the seat belts are worn
correctly.
