To
set the digital clock, use a ball point pen. Push
left button below display window briefly to advance one hour at a time and
right button to advance one minute at a time. Hold
button depressed to advance hours or minutes rapidly. For
second accuracy, synchronize with the aid of a digital wrist watch. Set the clock one minute slow, then
briefly push right button the moment the wrist watch alarm sounds. The
cigarette lighter can be operated with the ignition in position 1 or 2. To operate, push in knob. When ready for use, the lighter will
snap back. With the cigarette
lighter removed, the socket may be used for small electrical appliances, such
as a shaver, hand vacuum cleaner or air compressor to inflate the collapsible
emergency spare tire. The
maximum rating of such equipment should not exceed 120 Watt/12 Volt. Do not damage the socket by trying to insert plugs of the wrong design. Ashtray The
ashtray is located in front of the gearshift lever in the center
console. To empty tray, pull it
out of its well. WARNING Never
use ashtray as waste paper disposal.
Fire hazard! The
roof can be opened and closed, fully or partially, by depressing the
respective symbol on the rocker switch in the center console in front of the
gear shift lever. The
mechanism has a built-in safety feature. Should the moving roof encounter an obstacle, it will stop
automatically to avoid possible injury. Do not operate the sunroof at driving speeds exceeding 60 mph or 100 km/h. The force to overcome wind resistance at higher speeds may cause damage to the sunroof. Manual operation If
the electric drive mechanism fails, the roof can be operated manually. The crank handle provided for this
purpose is in the tool kit. Remove
the cover from the electric drive mechanism at the rear of the headliner by
pulling it down and disengaging the spring catch. Remove
screw and washer on bottom of drive mechanism. Keep screw and washer within easy reach. Install
handle in slot of drive mechanism and tighten thumb screw. Close
the roof, remove the handle and reinstall washer and screw. Replace the cover. Do
not depress the rocker switch but let your Porsche dealer correct the fault. To
avoid scratching the glass, the rear window should be sufficiently wet before
turning on the wiper. To
actuate the wiper, push the rocker switch in the center console. The
wiper action disengages or engages automatically when the luggage compartment
lid is opened or closed. When cleaning the rear window, the wiper arm should be lifted only slightly. The
front sun visors can be moved to the sides as well as forward. The
rear sun visors can be moved backward. Vanity
mirror The
vanity mirrors are incorporated into the rear side of the sun visors and can
be fastened with a slide. The
illuminated glove compartment can be opened by pulling the recessed handle in
the lid. The
glove compartment can be locked or unlocked with either the master or the
auxillary key. An additional
storage shelf is located under the glove compartment. WARNING Keep
glove compartment door closed while driving to prevent injury during a
collision. Rear seat glove
compartment To
open the glove compartment, press the button and lift the lid. The glove compartment is lockable. To release
Slide
the release lever on the left side underneath the dashboard panel. The
hood springs up slightly under spring pressure. To open Lift
hood slightly and press safety catch handle upward. Then lift up the hood. The windshield wipers should not be tilted forward. With
light switch in either position 1 or 2, the engine compartment light will
come on automatically. To close Lower
the hood slowly and then push down with both hands until the lock snaps shut. WARNING Should
you notice at any time while driving that the hood is not secured properly,
please stop at once and close it. (If
vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft alarm see “Anti-theft alarm”.) To open . . . see
“Hatchback release” or insert the key
into the lock and turn clockwise.
The hatchback springs up slightly under spring pressure. Lift the hatchback by hand to open. To close . . . Lower
the hatchback slowly and then push down with both hands until lock snaps
shut. Pull up on hatchback to
make sure it is securely locked. Be careful when removing large objects through the rear. Sharp edged objects may damage the defogger wires in the rear window. Luggage Compartment
Protect your luggage and other belongings from the sun and “inquisitive eyes” by using 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 your dealer
or other supply firms. The
eyelets for this purpose can be found behind the rear bolster and on the
luggage compartment floor. WARNING Because
the 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. Normal
commercially available roof racks cannot be fitted. If an original Porsche rack (as available
hitherto) is fitted, the permissible roof load is 35 kg (77 lbs). With
the “New Porsche Roof Transport System” 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. Your Porsche 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 180 km/h (110 mph). When
the roof rack is loaded, the recommended 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. |
