fAdapt the pressure of the tires to the selected load type.Please see the chapter “VIEWING FILL INFO IN THE TPMS MENU” on page 108.
Information
If this menu is not displayed, the specified tire pressures are valid for all types of vehicle load.
Selecting comfort/standard pressure in the TPMS menu
For speeds up to 165 mph (270 km/h), the tire pressures can be reduced to increase suspension comfort.If you select “ Comfort press.”, the TPMS system automatically uses lower pressure values when monitoring tire pressure.
If “ Comfort press.” is deactivated or standard pressure is activated, the standard required pressures suitable for speeds up to the maximum vehicle speed are automatically monitored.
The comfort tire pressures are included in the technical dataorin “ Fill info” when the “Comfort press.” menu is activated.
Prolonged driving at low tire pressure or even short-term driving at high speeds on tires which have too low a pressure is likely to result in a loss of control of your vehicle, either due to a failure to maintain directional control under side loads or due to tire failure.
Tires are inflated to comfort pressure at the factory, which is not suitable for driving at very high speeds.fAlways adjust the pressure in the tires to the standard pressure setting when driving at higher speeds.fRemember to adjust the setting in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System accordingly.

200 Storage, Luggage Compartment and Roof Transport System
Roof Transport System
A roof transport system can be fitted on the vehicle for transporting various sports and hobby equipment.
Various objects can be transported safely and securely using the roof transport system and additional attachments, e.g. ski rack, bicycle rack, surfboard rack, roof box or snowboard holder.fOnly use roof transport systems that have been tested and approved by Porsche. It is not possible to fit commercially available roof rack systems.
fInstall individual load-carrying devices, such as ski rack or roof box as centrally as possible with respect to the supports.fDo not exceed the permissible roof load, permissible gross weight and permissible axle loads.Details of these weights and loads can be found under “Technical data” in this Owner’s Manual:Please see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on page 288.fDistribute load evenly, with heavy items as low as possible. Items of luggage must not project beyond the side of the load area.fFix and secure every item to the basic carrier with a rope or lashing strap (do not use elastic rubber tensioners).fBefore every trip, and at regular intervals during long trips, check that the Roof Transport System and load are secure. Re-tighten if necessary and secure further by locking. Tighten all fastening screws again.
When the Roof Transport System is loaded, the maximum speeds depends on the nature, size and weight of the load being carried.fDriving, braking and steering behavior change due to the higher center of gravity and the greater wind resistance. You should adapt your driving style accordingly.Nevertheless, Porsche recommends that you do not exceed the posted speed limit.fNever drive faster than 80 mph (130 km/h) when the Roof Transport System is fitted and loaded.fWith the basic carrier fitted and no load, do not exceed a maximum speed of 110 mph (180 km/h).
Washing the vehicle in a car wash or failure to observe the overall vehicle height or the maximum permitted gross weight can damage the vehicle or roof transport system.fRemove the complete roof transport system before washing the vehicle in a car wash.fCheck the overall vehicle height with the roof transport system fitted before driving into multi-storey car parks, garages, underground garages and tunnels.fDo not exceed the permissible roof load, permissible gross weight and permissible axle loads.Details of these weights and loads can be found under “Technical data” in this Owner’s Manual:Please see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on page 288.

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.fDo not exceed the permitted maximum speed for the tires fitted to the vehicle.fEnsure that the tires are set to the correct inflation pressure.fObserve the maximum load for the vehicle.
Tire pressures
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure increases risk of a tire failure and resulting loss of control. Furthermore, low tire pressure increases rate of wear of the affected tires and causes damage. fAlways use an accurate tire pressure gauge when checking inflation pressures.fDo not exceed the maximum tire pressure listed on the tire sidewall. (Also refer to “Technical data”).fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE PLATE” on page 247.fCold tire inflation pressure means: all tires must be cold, ambient temperature maximum 68 °F (20 °C), when adjusting the inflation pressure. Avoid sunlight striking the tires before measuring cold pressures, since the pressures would rise from temperature influence.fValve caps protect the valve from dust and dirt, and thus from leakage. Always screw caps tightly down. Replace missing caps immediately.
fUse only plastic valve caps.fFor safety reasons, don't use tire inflating bottles.
fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE FOR COLD TIRES (68 °F/ 20 °C)” on page 287.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure tell-tale.
For further information on the tire pressure monitoring:fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE MENU (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, TPMS)” on page 105.
When tires are warm, the tire pressure is increased.fNever let air out of hot tires. This could cause the tire pressure to fall below the prescribed value.
Insufficient tire pressure can cause tires to over- heat and thus be damaged – even invisibly. Hidden tire damage is not eliminated by subsequently correcting the tire pressure.
Overloading
Overloading can lead to dangerous vehicle reactions and long braking distances.fDo not overload your vehicle. Be careful about the roof load. fIf you plan to load the vehicle, first correct the tire pressure. Tire pressure for loaded vehicle can be found on the tire pressure plate and in the chapter technical data.fNever exceed the specified axle load.

The standard tires profile and rubber mixture are optimized for wet and dry driving conditions, and may not prove favorable for snow conditions.fInstall snow tires before driving in such conditions.
Risk of insufficient road grip leading to loss of control and damage to the vehicle.
The standard tires profile and rubber mixture are optimized for wet and dry driving conditions, and may not prove favorable for snow conditions.fInstall snow tires before driving in such conditions.
Before mounting snow tires, consult with your Porsche dealer. They have the technical information necessary to advise you on wheel and tire compatibility.fSnow tires should have the same load capacity as original equipment tires and should be mounted on all four wheels.
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure increases risk of a tire failure and resulting loss of control. Furthermore, low tire pressure increases the rate of wear of the affected tires and causes damage.
Tires with badly worn treads are very dangerous and could cause accidents.fMake sure they are replaced immediately.fDo not exceed the snow tire speed rating.
Snow tires do not have the same degree of traction on dry, wet or snowfree roads as normal tires. Furthermore, snow tires wear rapidly under these conditions.
Information
We recommend that you fit snow tires on the vehicle at temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C) since the driving performance of summer tires is reduced at low temperatures and a lower level of comfort can also be expected. For example, juddering noises caused by the tires can occur while maneuvering the vehicle or accelerating out of bends on both dry and wet road surfaces.Extremely low temperatures of below 5 °F (-15 °C) can cause permanent damage to summer tires.
Snow tires lose their suitability when their tread depth falls below 5/32 in. (4 mm).
Comply with all state and local laws governing snow tire and tread depth requirements.
Exceeding the maximum permitted speed for the tires fitted could cause tire failure.fAlways check the maximum speed rating on the tire sidewall on any tire on the vehicle.fNever exceed the maximum speed rating of the tires.
Wheel change
fWhen wheels are removed, mark the direction of rotation and position of each wheel.Example: FR (front right), FL, RR and RL.fAlways fit the wheels in accordance with the markings.
Snow chains
Risk of damage to body, axle or brake components.fFit snow chains only to the rear wheels, and only with the tire/rim combination listed in the Technical Data.fUse only the fine-link snow chains recommended and authorized by Porsche so that sufficient clearance between the wheel well and the chain is assured.fPlease see the chapter “WHEELS, TIRES” on page 286.fFollow instructions issued by the supplier of the chains.
