Changing a WheelfHave the wheel changed at your authorized
Porsche dealer.Note
The tools required for changing a wheel (e.g. jack,
torque wrench, assembly aids) are not supplied as
standard with the vehicle. Your authorized
Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you.
If a wheel has to be changed, the procedure
described below must be adhered to exactly,
as otherwise the wheel may become loosened,
resulting in damage. In such an event Porsche
will not be held liable.
For application of the required high tightening
torques of the central bolt, a suitable, commer-
cially-available 370 ftlb./500 Nm torque wrench
may be used. Alternatively, a corresponding tool
with torque multiplier (part no. 997.450.323.90)
is available from Porsche Motorsport. When the
torque multiplier is used, the torque should be
reduced in accordance with the tool operating
instructions.
Warning!
Risk of serious personal injury or death. The
car may slip off the jack.
fDue to the high assembly forces, there is a risk
of the car rolling away when using a jack.
Always use a lifting platform if there is one
available.
Risk of damage.
fDo not use an impact wrench.1. Fully apply the handbrake, engage 1st gear
and withdraw the ignition key.
2. Carefully secure the car against rolling away
in both directions, e.g. by placing wedges
under the wheels on the opposite side.
This is particularly important on slopes.
3. Raise the car until the wheel lifts off the
ground. Lift vehicle only at the specified
jacking points.
fPlease see the chapter “LIFTING THE VEHICLE
WITH A LIFTING PLATFORM OR GARAGE LIFT”

A- Filler bottle
B- Filler hoseTire sealantThe tire sealant can be used to seal small cuts,
especially in the tire tread.
Sealing the tire with the tire sealant is only an
emergency repair, so you can drive to the next
workshop. Even with the tire air-tight, it may be
used only for short trips in an emergency.The tire sealant and a compressor with pressure
tester can be found in the luggage compartment.
The tire sealant comprises:
– A filler bottle
– A sticker denoting the maximum permissible
speed for the driver’s field of vision
– A filler hose
– A valve turner and
– A spare valve insert.
Danger!
Risk of accident, resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
fUse the tire sealant only in the case of cuts or
punctures no larger than 0.15 in. (4 mm).
fNever use the tire sealant if the rim is damaged.
Warning!
The sealant is highly flammable and harmful
to health.
fFire, open flame and smoking are prohibited
when handling tire sealant.

to personal health resulting in serious personal injury or death.
In case of contact with the sealant:
fIf sealant gets on the skin or in the eyes,
thoroughly rinse the affected part of the body
off immediately.

Replacing fuses In order to prevent damage to the electrical
system due to short circuits and overloads, the
individual circuits are protected by fuses.
The fuse box is located in the driver’s footwell.
A - Plastic gripper
B - Spare fuses 1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse.
2. Pull off plastic cover at the finger hole (arrow).
The fuse plan and instructions for
emergency unlocking of the luggage
compartment lid can be found on the inner
side of the cover.
3. Remove the corresponding fuse from its slot
using the plastic gripper A in order to check it.
A blown fuse can be identified by the melted
metal strip.4. Replace only with fuses of the same rating.
We recommend using genuine Porsche fuses
for replacement.
Note
fIf a fuse blows repeatedly consult an autho-
rized Porsche dealer.
fNever try to “repair” fuses: you may cause
serious damage to other parts of the electrical
system.
