Cayenne

1 Dear Owner, We would like to thank you for your purchase of a Porsche Cayenne. Judging by the car you have chosen, you are a motorist of a special breed, and you are probably no novice when it comes to automobiles. Remember however, as with any vehicle, you should take time to familiarize yourself with your Porsche and its performance characteristics. Always drive within your own unique capabilities as a driver and your level of experience with your Porsche. Ensure that anyone else driving your Porsche does the same. To prevent or minimize injury, always use your safety belts. Never consume alcohol or drugs before or during the operation of your vehicle. This Owner's Manual contains a host of useful information. Please take the time to read this manual before you drive your new Porsche. Become familiar with the operation of your Porsche car for maximum safety and operating pleasure. The better you know your Porsche, the more pleasure you will experience driving your new car. Always keep your Owner's Manual in the car, and give it to the new owner if you ever sell your Porsche. A separate Maintenance Booklet explains how you can keep your Porsche in top driving condition by having it serviced regularly. A separate Warranty and Customer Informa- tion Booklet contains detailed information about the warranties covering your Porsche. For U.S. only: If you believe that your vehicle has a fault which could cause a crash, injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche Cars N.A.). If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety problem exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you and your dealer, or Porsche Cars N.A. To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1–888–327–4236 (TTY: 1–800–424–9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administ- rator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov. Your car has thousands of parts and components which have been designed and manufactured in accordance with Porsche's high standards of engineering quality and safety. Warning! Any alteration or misuse of the vehicle can lead to accidents and serious or fatal personal injuries. Any alteration of the vehicle may negate or interfere with those safety features built into the vehicle. Modifications may be carried out on your vehicle only if approved by Porsche. Your Porsche is intended to be used in a safe manner obeying the local laws and in the light of driving conditions faced by you, and in accordance with the instructions provided in this Owner's Manual. f Do not misuse your Porsche by ignoring those laws and driving conditions, or by ignoring the instructions in this manual. Regularly check your vehicle for signs of damage. Damaged or missing aerodynamic compon- ents such as spoilers or underside panels affect the driving behavior and therefore must be replaced immediately. Your car may have all or some of the components described in this manual. Should you have difficulty understanding any of the explanations of features or equipment installed in your vehicle, contact your authorized Porsche dealer. He/She will be glad to assist you. Also check with your dealer on other available options or equipment. 10_Cayenne_21_KW17.book Seite 1 Donnerstag, 9. April 2009 3:33 15
