Engine Exhaust

Danger!

Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled.

Engine exhaust fumes have many compo-

nents which you can smell. They also contain

carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless

and odorless gas.

Carbon monoxide can cause unconscious-

ness and even death if inhaled.
f Never start or let the engine run in an en-

closed, unventilated area.

It is not recommended to sit in your car for pro-

longed periods with the engine on and the car

not moving.

Motor racing

Motor racing is a term we associate with

fascination and emotion.

On the one hand.

On the other hand, there's the technology that

makes this fascination possible.
Your new Carrera GT has been developed with ex-

perience gained from the development and use of

countless GT vehicles, and has been equipped

with technical preconditions that facilitate use

away from public roads on the racing circuit.
Depending on use, it can be possible or necessary

to adapt the vehicle to the respective conditions.

In this case, it must always be taken into account

that a modern high-performance sports car repre-

sents a complex system with individual compo-

nents that are carefully designed and adjusted to

work together perfectly.
Interfering in this system is only an option if it can

be guaranteed that all of the components will con-

tinue to work together in a manner adjusted to the

actual conditions of use. Well-founded specialist

knowledge is necessary for this. You should seek

advice from your authorized Porsche dealer.
Please bear in mind that use on race tracks sub-

jects all vehicle components to considerably more

wear than normal use, making professional in-

spection and maintenance after each use a vital

preconditon for functioning and safety.

Please use only Original Porsche Parts for your

car. These parts are available from your autho-

rized Porsche dealer, who is knowledgeable as re-

gards the range of approved parts and will be

pleased to advise you further.
For reasons of safety, the braking system,

steering, running gear, wheels and tires of your

car should be checked after every use on a race

track.

On public roads
On public roads, all vehicle components must be

in the standard position.
