Topping Up Coolant

Coolant Level:

NOTE: Follow the instructions in the "Cautions" and "WARNINGS!".
Customer Safety Information
The cooling system is filled at the factory with a permanent coolant.

It provides year-round protection from corrosion and freezing down to - 31°F/- 35°C (Nordic countries - 40°F/- 4O°C).

Only use antifreeze authorized by Porsche.

Checking Coolant Level:

The expansion tank with its filler orifice is in the rear luggage compartment.

Check the coolant level regularly at the transparent window of the expansion tank.

When the engine is cold and the car is level the fluid level must lie between the "Min." and "Max." markings.

Topping Up Coolant:

WARNING! Coolant is hazardous to your health, and may be fatal if swallowed. Do not open the lid of the expansion tank while the engine is hot - there is a danger of serious personal injury from scalding. Allow the engine to cool down before opening the lid and protect your hands, arms and face from any possible escape of not coolant.

Caution: Take care when topping up coolant not to soil the luggage compartment or items of luggage.

1. Switch engine off and let it cool.

2. Cover the expansion tank cap with a thick rag. Open cap slowly and carefully and allow overpressure to escape. Then unscrew cap completely.

3 Only add a mixture of antifreeze and water in equal parts, and do not exceed the "Max." mark.

Antifreeze in coolant:
50% gives protection down to - 31°F/- 35°C
60% gives protection down to - 40°F/- 40°C

4. Screw cap firmly on.

If in an emergency pure water has been added, the mix ratio must be corrected at an authorized Porsche dealer.

Marked loss of coolant indicates leakage in the cooling system.

The cause should immediately be remedied at an authorized Porsche dealer.

Radiator Fans:

The radiator and radiator fans are In the front of the car.

The fans can start or continue running as a function of temperature, even with the engine switched off.

WARNING! Be careful when working in the area of the radiator fans. They may start without warning and can cause serious personal injury>
