“Comfort pressure Reduce speed“ warning
If the maximum speed of the preset comfort pressure is exceeded and the tire pressure is below a critical limit, a warning message appears on the multi-function display.
Driving at excessive speeds when the comfort pressure is active will destroy the tires.fReduce speed to below the displayed maximum speed.fAlways inflate the tires to the standard tire pressure when driving at higher speeds.
System learning
Tire Pressure Monitoring System begins to “learn” the tires after a wheel change, wheel transmitter replacement or update of the tire settings. During this process, TPMS recognizes the wheels and their locations.The message “ No tire pressure monitoring System is learning ” appears on the multi- function display.
The wheel learning process takes place exclusively when the vehicle is being driven (vehicle speed above 16 mph (25 km/h)).
TPMS requires a certain amount of time to learn the wheels. During this time, the current tire pressures are not available on the multi-function display:– The tire pressure warning light stays on until all wheels have been learned.– Lines (-.-) appear on the display of the “ TPMS” function.– The required pressures for cold tires (68 °F/20 °C) are shown under “ Fill info” in the “ TPMS” main menu.
Position and pressure information is displayed as soon as TPMS has assigned the wheels recognized as belonging to the vehicle to the correct wheel positions.fCheck the tire pressure for all wheels under “ Fill info”.fCorrect the tire pressure to the required pressure if necessary (differential pressure value “0.0”).
Tire pressure warnings
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument panel and a corresponding message on the multi-function display warn about loss of pressure in two stages (yellow and red), depending on the amount of pressure loss.

Warning light
The warning light in the instrument panel lights up: – When a loss in pressure has been detected (warning light: lights up continuously).– In the event of a defect in TPMS or a temporary fault (warning light: flashes for 60 seconds, then lights up continuously).– When learning new fitted wheels/wheel transmitters, as long as the vehicle’s own wheels have not yet been recognized (warning light: flashes for 60 seconds, then lights up continuously).
A warning message also appears on the multi- function display in the instrument panel.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument panel goes out only when the cause of the fault has been rectified.
Changing a wheel and replacing tires
fNew wheels must be fitted with radio transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Before tires are changed, the battery charge condition of the wheel transmitters should be checked.fPlease contact an authorized Porsche dealer.fSwitch off the ignition when changing a wheel.
The tire settings on the multi-function display must be updated after changing a wheel.If the tire settings are not updated, the message “Tire change? Update settings” is displayed on the multi-function display.fUpdate the multi-function display settings the next time the vehicle is stationary.
Pressure increase as the result of temperature increase
In accordance with physical principles, the tire pressure changes as the temperature changes.For every 18 °F (10 °C) change in temperature, the tire pressure increases or decreases by around 1.5 psi/0.1 bar/10 kPa.
Partial monitoring
Monitoring of the other wheels is continued if there is a fault in one or two wheel transmitters.– The tire pressure warning light lights up.– The message “Restricted monitoring” appears on the multi-function display.– No tire pressures are displayed on the multi-function display for wheels with faulty wheel transmitters.
No monitoring
In the event of faults, Tire Pressure Monitoring System cannot monitor the tire pressure. The warning light on the instrument panel lights up and a corresponding message appears on the multi-function display.
Monitoring is not active: – In the event of a defect in TPMS or if more than 2 wheel transmitters are defective.– If wheel transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring System are missing.– During the learning phase after the tire settings have been updated.– After a wheel change without updating the tire settings.– If more than four wheel transmitters are recognized.– If there is external interference by other radio sources, e.g. wireless headphones.– If tire temperatures are too high.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.

Driving and Driving Safety 155
In heavy rain, while driving through water or after leaving a car wash, the braking action may be delayed and increased pressure may be required.fFor this reason, keep further back from the vehicle in front and “dry” the brakes by applying them at intervals. Make sure that the traffic behind you is not affected.
After a long drive over salted or gritted roads, a coating may form on the brake disks and pads that significantly reduces friction and therefore also braking effect.fEven though the brake disks consist of alloyed gray cast iron, they will unavoidably start to corrode if your vehicle is parked for an extended period. The brakes will tend to “rub” as a result.The nature, extent and effects of corrosion depend on the amount of time the vehicle was parked, whether road salt or grit was spread and whether grease-dissolving agents were used in car washes (not on vehicles with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake).To prevent corrosion of the brake disks, “brake them dry” before parking the vehicle (not on vehicles with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake).If braking comfort is noticeably impaired, we recommend that you have the brake system checked by experts at an authorized Porsche dealer.
fTo relieve the brake system on downhill stretches, change down to a lower gear in good time (engine braking).If engine braking is insufficient on steep stretches, operate the footbrake at intervals. Avoid continuous braking as it overheats the brakes and reduces the braking effect.
For information on brake fluid and checking the brake fluid level:fPlease see the chapter “BRAKE FLUID” on page 243.
New brake pads or linings
New brake pads have to be “broken in”, and therefore only attain optimal friction when the car has covered several hundred miles or km.The slightly reduced braking ability must be compensated for by pressing the brake pedal harder. This applies whenever the brake pads and/or brake disks are replaced.
A - Switch cruise control on/off 1 - Set/increase desired speed 2 - Reduce desired speed 3 - Interrupt (OFF) 4 - Return to set speed (RESUME)
Cruise Control
Cruise control maintains any selected speed between approx. 20–150 mph (30–240 km/h) without you having to use the accelerator.Cruise control is operated using the control stalk at the bottom left of the steering wheel.Downshifts are carried out to help maintain the pre-selected speed (especially when driving downhill).
