Foreword
This manualcontains Technicallnformation as well as instructions
on repairs for Porschevehicles. It is intendedfor the sole use of
workshopsbelongingto PorscheAG.

The descriptionsform the basis for professionaland correct mainte-

nance and repair work. The content of the work procedures
described is based on the level of training of a fitter who has com-
pleted vocationaltraining and has a sound knowledgeof the prod-
uct. This level of knowledgeis necessaryin order to carry out the
work described.

Warning notes

The warningnotes and safety instructionsare classified by the

respective signalisingword (Danger,Warning,Caution)beside the
warning symbol.

Warns against death or very serious injury which will cer-
tainly occur if the instructions are not observed.

fore imperativethat all persons carrying out repair and maintenance
work on Porschevehicles use their specialistknowledgeto ensure
that their own safety is not at risk and the procedurechosenwill not
have anynegativeeffects on the vehicle -especially with regard to
safety.
It is therefore expresslyspecified that all work involvedin the workarried
