2 Dear Owner, We would like to thank you for your pur chase of a Porsche Sports car . Judging by the car you ha ve chosen, you are a mo- torist of a special breed, and you ar e probably no novice when it comes to automobiles.
3 Regularly check your vehicle for signs of damage. Damaged or missing aerodynamic compo- nents such as spoilers or underside panels affect the driving behavior and therefore must be replaced immediately . Y our car may have all or some of the components described in this manual.
4 Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) f Please see the chapter “BRAKES” on Page 56. The high-performance brake syst em is designed for optimal braking effect at all speeds and temperatures. Certain speeds, braking forces and ambient conditions (such as temperature and humidity) therefor e might cause brake noises.
5 Engine Exhaust Danger! Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled. Engine exhaust fumes have many compo- nents which you can smell. They also contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless and odorless gas. Carbon monoxide can cause unconscious- ness and even death if inhaled.
