232. FM reception A vehicle is not an ideal place to listen to a radio.
Because the vehicle moves, reception conditions
are constantly changing.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and noise from
other vehicles are all working against good recep-
tion.
Some conditions affecting FM may appear to be
problems when they are not.
The following characteristics are completely nor-
mal for a given reception area, and they do not in-
dicate any problem with the radio itself.
Note
Electronic accessories should only be installed by
your authorized Porsche dealer.
Equipment which has not been tested and appro-
ved by Porsche may impair radio function and re-
ception. Fading and drifting
FM range is limited to about 25 miles (40 km), ex-
cept for some high power stations.
If a vehicle is moving away from the desired stati-
on’s transmitter, the signal will tend to fade and/or
drift. This condition is more prevalent with FM than
AM, and is often accompanied by distortion.
Fading and drifting can be minimized to a certain
degree by careful attention to fine tuning or selec-
tion of a stronger signal.
Static and fluttering
When the line-of-sight link between a transmitter
and vehicle is blocked by large buildings or moun-
tains, the radio sound may be accompanied with
static or fluttering because of the characteristic of
FM.
In a similar effect, a fluttering noise is sometimes
heard when driving along a tree-lined road.
This static and fluttering can be reduced by adjus-
ting the tone control for greater bass response un-
til the disturbance has passed. Multipath
Because of the reflecting characteristics of FM, di-
rect and reflected signals may reach the antenna
at the same time (multipath) and cancel each other
out.
As a vehicle moves through these electronic dead
spots, the listener may hear a momentary flutter
or loss of reception.
Station swapping
When two FM stations are close to each other, and
an electronic dead spot, such as static or multi-
path area, interrupts the original signal, someti-
mes the stronger second signal will be selected
automatically until the original one returns.
This swapping can also occur as you drive away
from the selected station and approach another
station of a stronger signal.

Roof Transport SystemfPlease follow the separate instructions for
fitting the Roof Transport System.
fOnly use Roof Transport Systems from the
Porsche Tequipment product range or Roof
Transport Systems which have been tested
and approved for your car by Porsche.
Fitting normal commercially available luggage
racks is not possible.
The Porsche Roof Transport System allows you
to carry various sports and hobby equipment.
Your Porsche partner will be pleased to tell you
about the various different uses of the Roof
Transport System.
Safety notes!
fRisk of damage to the paint on the rear lid.
Only open the rear lid if this cannot touch the
load.
fCompletely remove the Roof Transport System
before using an automatic car wash -- risk of
damage to the vehicle!
fDo not exceed the maximum permitted
payload of 132lbs. (60 kg), the maximum
permitted gross weight and the maximum
permitted axle loads.
Please observe the chapter “WEIGHTS” on
Page 272.
fDistribute load evenly, storing 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 journey, and at regular intervals
during long trips, check that Roof Transport
System and load are secure. Re-tighten if
necessary and secure additionally by locking.
When the Roof Transport System is loaded, the
maximum speed depends on the nature, size and
weight of the load being carried.
fBut never drive faster than 90 mph
(140 km/h).fWith the basic carrier fitted and no load, do
not exceed a maximum speed of 110 mph
(180 km/h).
Driving, braking and steerin g b e h a v i o r c h a n g e d u e
to the higher center of gravity and the greater
wind-resistant area. You should adapt your driving
style appropriately.
Since fuel consumption and noise are increased
with the Roof Transport System fitted, it should
not remain on the vehicle if not in use.
