The following tips will be helpful in obtaining optimum performance from your new Porsche. Despite the most modern, high-precision manufacturing methods, the moving parts must still wear in with each other. This wearing-in occurs mainly in the first 2,000 miles (3,000 km).
Therefore:
• Preferably take longer trips.
• Avoid frequent cold starts with short-distance driving whenever possible.
• Avoid full throttle starts and abrupt stops.
• Do not exceed maximum engine speed of 4,200 rpm.
• Do not run a cold engine at high rpm either in Neutral or in gear.
Remember: no racing or track events for the first 2000 Kms on your new car! Unless of course you are running a proper, dyno’d race engine!
• Do not let the engine labour, especially when driving uphill. Shift to the next lower gear in time (use the most favorable rpm range). Never lug the engine in high gear at low speeds. This rule applies at all times, not just during the break-in period.
• Do not participate in motor racing events, sports driving schools, etc. during the first 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers).
