General preconditions for repairing Porsche vehicles
The descriptions form the basis for professional and correct maintenance and repair work. The content of the work procedures described is based on the level of training of a fitter with a sound knowledge of the product. The fitter must have obtained knowledge of the product at training programs and courses offered by the Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AG which are specific to the product and assembly before carrying out any of the work. This level of knowledge is the precondition for carrying out the work described. The Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG will not be held liable if the described repair work is carried out without this knowledge.

Preconditions for body work on Porsche vehicles
The described repair work only applies to standard cases. Body repairs must only be carried out by skilled persons who are specialized for such work. Given the overall picture of the damages, the workshop itself must decide whether it is possible to return the vehicle to its proper condition. Repair works on Porsche vehicles must be carried out with the tools and workshop equipment recommended and approved by the Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG. All body repair work must be carried out correctly and according to the Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG instructions for sheet metal, paint and corrosion protection/preservation work.

Warning notes and safety instructions
The warning notes and safety instructions are classified by the respective signalizing word (Danger, Warning, Caution) beside the warning symbol.

DANGER: Warns against death or very serious injury which will certainly occur if the instructions are not observed.

WARNING: Warns against death or very serious injury which may occur if the instructions are not observed.

ATTENTION: Warns against minor injury or damage to property if the instructions are not observed.

To prevent injury and restricted operating and traffic safety of the vehicle, or damage to the vehicle as the result of incorrect work, read these warning notes and safety instructions carefully and observe them without fail.

It is not possible for Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG to give a detailed evaluation of all danger situations for the persons carrying out the work. It is therefore imperative that all persons carrying out repair and maintenance work on Porsche vehicles use their specialist knowledge to ensure that their own safety is not at risk and the procedure chosen will not have any negative effects on the vehicle - especially with regard to safety.

It is therefore expressly specified that all work involved in the work procedures described should be carried out only in accordance with the valid guidelines and regulations of the local authorities responsible with respect to health and accident prevention and environmental protection, and in compliance with the applicable legal requirements and regulations.
