Information 

Observe the following specifications for all the work described:

• Country-specific, national, legal and official regulations,
• Local restrictions and export restrictions,
• Manufacturer specifications from component and vehicle manufacturers,
• Component-specific specifications.

These strict specifications apply in particular to:

Consider relevant and qualified sources of information such as local authorities, competent importer, associations and specialized websites for this purpose. Only deliver items to be disposed of to authorized reception points.

These regulations to be complied with have to be checked, observed and, if necessary, documented by the person responsible for the vehicle for all life phases and work.

Information 

• The lithium-ion battery must only be packed by an appropriately trained and authorized person using the additional instructions "Packing critical batteries in new metal containers". 
• Metal containers and hollow glass granulate (Extover® or PyroBubbles®) are required for packing a critical battery. 
• The metal container and hollow glass granulate are supplied by a logistics expert named by Porsche, who will take away the packed battery (Europe). 
• The metal container and hollow glass granulate are available from the dealer organization in the event of a critical battery (rest of the world). 
• The critical battery must only be packed in a designated work area. 
• The lithium-ion battery with battery status "Warning" (critical) must be disposed of in accordance with local legal requirements and transport regulations.
