Refueling<br />
Fuel tank capacity is listed under “Capacities”.<br />
Porsche does not recommend the use of fuel additives.<br />
Fuel is highly flammable and harmful to<br />
health.<br />

1. Important: Stop the engine and switch off the<br />
ignition.<br />
2. Slowly unscrew the tank cap.<br />
Hang the tank cap's plastic strap on the hook<br />
on the inside wall of the filler flap.<br />
3. Insert fuel-hose nozzle fully into the filler neck<br />
with the handle of the fuel-hose nozzle facing<br />
down.<br />
4. Do not add further fuel once the correctly operated<br />
automatic fuel-hose nozzle has<br />
switched off.<br />
Fuel could spray or could run over in warm<br />
temperatures.<br />
5. Replace the tank cap immediately after<br />
refueling and turn it until you hear it and feel it<br />
engage.<br />
If you lose the tank cap, you must replace it<br />
only with an original part to reduce the<br />
possibility of a fire in the event of a collision.<br />
Caution!<br />
Risk of damage. Decorative film may fade<br />
if it comes into contact with fuel.<br />
f Wipe off any emerging fuel immediately.<br />
Fuel Recommendations<br />
Your Porsche is equipped with catalytic converters<br />
and must use UNLEADED FUEL ONLY.<br />
Your engine is designed to provide optimum performance<br />
and fuel economy using unleaded premium<br />
fuel with an octane rating of 98 RON<br />
(93 CLC or AKI). Porsche therefore recommends<br />
the use of these fuels in your vehicle.<br />
Porsche also recognizes that these fuels may not<br />
always be available. Be assured that your vehicle<br />
will operate properly on unleaded premium fuels<br />
with octane numbers of at least 95 RON<br />
(90 CLC or AKI), since the engine’s “Electronic<br />
Oktane knock control” will adapt the ignition timing,<br />
if necessary.<br />
It is important to observe the regular service intervals,<br />
and particularly the oil change intervals,<br />
specified in the “Maintenance” booklet.<br />
The use of UNLEADED FUEL ONLY is critically<br />
important to the life of the catalytic<br />
converters. Deposits from leaded fuels will<br />
ruin the converters and make it ineffective<br />
as an emission control device.<br />
Cars with catalytic converters have a smaller fuel<br />
tank opening, and gas station pumps have smaller<br />
nozzles. This will prevent accidental pumping of<br />
leaded fuel into cars with catalytic converters.
