Caution when working on the vehicle
Hot engine parts and hot
WARNING
coolant
The engine, adjacent components, exhaust system
and coolant become very hot when the engine is
running. The coolant reservoir is pressurized. Opening
the coolant reservoir without due care may cause a
sudden escape of hot coolant.
In addition, the fans may start automatically, even if
the engine has been switched off and the ignition key
removed.
−
Stop the engine and allow it cool down, if possi-
ble.
−
Keep body parts, articles of clothing, long hair
and jewelry away from all moving parts (fans,
drive belts, etc.).
−
Exercise caution when working near hot vehicle
components, especially the engine and the ex-
haust system.
−
Wear protective gloves that protect against hot
parts.
−
Only top up coolant when the engine has stop-
ped and the ignition is switched off.
−
Do not open the cap of the coolant reservoir
when the engine is hot. Wait until the coolant
temperature gage indicates a temperature lower
than 140 °F/60 °C.
−
You should only attempt the work described in
the instructions if you are completely familiar
with repair and maintenance procedures. Visit an
Authorized Porsche Dealer – they have trained
technicians and the necessary parts and tools.
Protective equipment (such as protective gloves
that protect against cuts) are required to per-
form certain work on the vehicle.
