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.

5. When fitting for the first time: Remove the handle from the torque wrench.Loosen screws on the underside of the carriers using the short side of the torque wrench.
Information
It is only necessary to loosen the screws on one underside section of the relevant carrier.
Place long carrier A at the front and short carrier B at the rear on the rotary holders G and, at the same time, adapt to the vehicle width by means of the moveable carrier supports.Tighten the screws on the underside sections of the carriers slightly.
Remove the carriers and retighten the screws on the underside sections of the carriers using the short side of the torque wrench.6. Refit the handle of the torque wrench.

Minor Repairs 245
Driving with damaged tires could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.fIf while driving, your vehicle experiences a sudden vibration or ride disturbance, and/or you suspect that possible damage to your tires or vehicle has occurred, you should immediately reduce your speed without excessive use of the brakes.fStop the vehicle as soon as possible, and inspect the tires.If you cannot determine the cause for the disturbance, have your vehicle towed to the nearest Porsche or tire dealer to have your vehicle or tire(s) inspected.fContinuing to operate the vehicle without correction could result in a loss of control.Example
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specific government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1-1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C and they represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Information
The traction grade assigned to this is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turned) traction, acceleration, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics.
Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.Sustained high temperatures can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

252 Minor Repairs
Fitting snow chains
fBefore fitting chains, remove accumulated ice and snow from the wheel well.fVehicles with snow chains must not be driven faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
Different states and countries have varying statutory requirements regarding maximum speed.fCheck with local authorities for possible restrictions.fRemove chains as soon as the roads are free of ice and snow.
Example of Inscription
Inscription on radial tire
A – Tire size
Example: P 265/40ZR18 (101Y) – P - The tire is designed for Passenger vehicle. This information is not included on all tires.– 265 - Indication of tire width in mm – 40 - Indication of tire height to tire width ratio in percent– ZR - Belt type code letter for radial – 18 - Indication of rim diameter in inches – 101 - Load capacity coefficient
– Y - Speed code letter – XL (Extra Load) - Tire with increased load rating
B – TIN (Tire Identification Number)
Example: DOT xx xx xxxx xxxx – DOTThe DOT symbol indicates that the tires comply with the requirements of the US Department of Transportation and provides information about:– first two-digit code means manufacture’s identification mark.– second two-digit code means tire size.

The identification indicates if the tire has radial structure.
G – Term of tubeless or tube tire
Identification for tubeless tires.
Speed code letters
The speed code letter Y indicates the maximum permitted speed for the tire.This code letter is shown on the tire sidewall.
Information
Tires with a maximum speed rating that is lower than the specified maximum vehicle speed may be mounted only if they bear an M+S identification on the tire sidewall.fPlease note that in addition to snow tires, all-season tires are also subject to speed limits and bear this identification.fNever drive faster than the speed rating of the tires, and obey all speed and traffic laws.
