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.

Vibration from the engine could cause the vehicle to fall.fWhen working under the car without safety stands but with the wheels on the ground, make sure the car is on level ground, the wheels are blocked, and that the engine cannot be started.Withdraw ignition keys (switch ignition off in vehicles that have Porsche Entry & Drive).
Information
fIncomplete or improper servicing may cause problems in the operation of the car. If in doubt about any servicing, have it done by your authorized Porsche dealer.Improper maintenance during the warranty period may affect your Porsche warranty coverage.fSome countries require additional tools and special spare parts to be carried in your vehicle. Please make enquiries before driving abroad.
Technical Modifications
fModifications may be carried out on your vehicle only if approved by Porsche.This ensures that your Porsche will remain reliable and safe to drive, and that it will not be damaged as a result of the modifications.Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you.
Information
fOnly use genuine Porsche spare parts for your vehicle or spare parts of similar quality which have been manufactured according to the specifications and production requirements of Porsche. These parts are available from your authorized Porsche dealer. Safety-related accessories should only be used if they are from the Porsche Tequipment range or are tested and approved by Porsche. Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you and answer any questions you may have.However, the use of other parts or accessories may adversely affect the safety of your vehicle, and Porsche can take no responsibility for any loss or damage caused by their use.Even if the supplier of other accessories or parts is a recognized supplier, the safety of your vehicle may still be affected if such items are installed.Due to the large variety of products offered in the accessory market, it is not possible for Porsche to inspect and approve every one.fIn addition, please note that the use of replacement parts that are not genuine Porsche parts or approved parts, or the use of accessories not approved by Porsche may also detrimentally affect your vehicle warranty.fCheck your vehicle regularly for signs of damage. Damaged or missing aerodynamic components, such as spoilers or underbody panels, impair vehicle handling and must therefore be replaced immediately.

Maintenance and Car Care 233
Cleaning in car washes
Optional add-on parts or parts that project beyond the contours of the vehicle may be damaged by design features of car washes.
The following parts are particularly at risk: – Convertible top (hot wax treatment must not be used, as the wax attacks the convertible top material),– Windshield wipers and rear wiper (always switch them off – wiper stalk in position 0 – to prevent them wiping unintentionally in intermittent or sensor operation).– Exterior mirrors (always fold in).– External antenna (always unscrew).– Roof transport system (always remove completely).– Spoilers.– Wheels (the wider the rim and the lower the tire height, the greater the risk of damage).– High-gloss or silk-gloss wheels (to prevent these from getting scratched, do not clean with the wheel-cleaning brushes of the car wash). fPlease consult the operator before using automatic car washes.fAll parts not reached by a car wash, such as door and lid seams or door sills, must be washed and polished by hand.
Information
Automatic car washes spray water at odd angles and high pressures, which are not seen in normal driving. Therefore, water can sometimes find its way into the passengers compartment during or shortly after the car wash.
Convertible top
The service life and appearance of the convertible top depend largely on expert care and operation.
Incorrect care and operation can damage the convertible top or cause it to leak.
Never remove snow and ice with sharp-edged objects.
Cleaning the convertible top
Risk of damage to the convertible top due to the cleaning jet of the high-pressure cleaning equipment or hot wax treatment. fDo not clean the convertible top with high-pressure cleaning equipment. fDo not use hot wax treatment.
Do not wash the convertible top every time you wash the vehicle.
Normally, rinsing the convertible top with clean water is sufficient.fBrush dust off the convertible top in the direction of the weave using a soft brush. fOnly in the case of heavy soiling, wet the convertible top with lukewarm water and a wash-shampoo & convertible-top cleaner and rub gently using a sponge or soft brush.Rinse off wash-shampoo & convertible-top cleaner thoroughly from the convertible top with clean water.We recommend Porsche wash-shampoo.fAfter washing, treat the convertible top at least once a year with a convertible-top care product.Do not allow the convertible-top care product to come into contact with paint or glass. If it does, remove immediately.
fIn the case of leakage in the convertible-top covering or at its seams and folds, use a convertible-top care product.fPlease observe the information on the containers.We recommend Porsche convertible-top care product.fRemove bird excrement immediately. The acid this contains makes the rubber swell and the convertible top will leak.fOpen the convertible top only when completely dry, otherwise damp stains and abrasion marks may occur which cannot be removed.fAttempt to remove spots from the convertible-top covering by rubbing carefully with a soft rubber sponge.

Towing
Certain state statutes and local ordinances prohibit towing with a chain, rope or even a tow bar. In addition, damage to your vehicle may result from improper procedures. Consult your authorized Porsche dealer for details.
Flatbed towing is the preferred type of towing to be used on Porsche vehicles.
Information
fAlways observe the laws governing towing and tow-starting.fExercise extreme care when your vehicle is being towed.
No power assistance is available on the towed vehicle when its engine is not running. Greater force is therefore required when braking and steering.fExercise extreme care when your vehicle is being towed.
When the engine is not running, adequate lubrication of the transmission is not guaranteed. Observe the following points to avoid damage to the transmission.
Towing a vehicle on all four wheels
We urge that wherever possible, a car transporter or trailer be used to transport a 911 Turbo vehicle that cannot move under its own power. This is the safest way to transport a down vehicle.
For those instances where a car transporter or trailer is not available, the vehicle may be towed on all four wheels only, provided the following
conditions are strictly met. Failure to meet these conditions will result in serious and expensive damage to the PDK transmission.
If the vehicle's transmission or shifter is already damaged, serious damage will result if the vehicle is not towed with all four wheels off the ground.
Porsche cannot be held responsible for damage incurred in cases where a vehicle has been transported on one or both of its axles.
Towing a vehicle on all four wheels:
fThe vehicle must not be towed if the PDK transmission is in emergency operation mode (“ Transm. failure Park vehicle safely”). The vehicle must be transported with a car transporter or on a trailer.fIf a selector lever emergency release was performed, the vehicle must not be towed. The vehicle must be transported with a car transporter or on a trailer.fMove PDK selector lever to position N. To properly engage selector-lever position N on the display and at the selector lever, the engine must be started once before towing the vehicle. The vehicle can be towed as soon as the selector lever is in position N and selector- lever position N appears on the display.fThe vehicle must always roll on all four wheels when towed.The ignition must be switched on so that the brake lights and turn signal lights operate.fDo not exceed a maximum speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).Maximum towing distance 30 miles (50 km).If towing distances are greater, the vehicle must be transported with a car transporter or on a trailer.
