Power Steering 
Power steering is assisted by hydraulic auxiliary 
forces.
The hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in the en-
gine compartment. 
Note
The flow noise heard at full steering lock is design-
related and does not indicate a defect in the steer-
ing system. 
 Warning!
Risk of accident resulting in serious personal 
injury or death. 
When the engine is stopped (e.g. when being 
towed) or the hydraulic system fails, there is 
no assistance for steering.
Therefore, substantially more force will have 
to be exerted in order to steer. 
f Exercise great care when being towed. 
f Have the fault remedied at your nearest author-
ized Porsche dealer.
Checking hydraulic fluid 
f Please see the chapter “EXERCISE EXTREME 
CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON YOUR VEHICLE” 
on Page 206.
f Only use hydraulic fluid authorized by Porsche.
Specification:
Please see the chapter “CAPACITIES” on 
Page 290.
Check the fluid level with the engine stopped and 
cold (approximately 68 °F/20 °C).
1. Open the engine compartment lid. 
2. Open the reservoir cap. 
3. Wipe measuring rod.
Close cap and reopen. The fluid level should lie 
between the “MIN” and “MAX” marks. 
Add hydraulic fluid if necessary. 
4. Close cap carefully.
Close engine compartment lid. 
Noticeable loss of fluid indicates leakage in the 
system.
The cause should be remedied immediately at an 
authorized Porsche dealer.
