Off-Road DrivingPlease read this chapter carefully before driving
off road with your Porsche.
The information provided will familiarise you with
the special advantages of your vehicle, allowing
you to arrive at your destination safely every time.
We recommend practicing on less rugged terrain.Vehicles with SportDesign package
Caution!
Risk of damage. On vehicles with Sport-
Design package, front, rear, and side
member trim are painted. Off-road driving
can seriously damage these trim parts.
fWhen driving off-road, make sure these parts
are not damaged.
fMake sure there is sufficient clearance
between obstacles and the underside of the
vehicle.
fAvoid driving through water.
fDo not use side member trims or rear wheel spoilers as a running board.Maintenance Note
Please bear in mind that off-road driving subjects
all vehicle components to considerably more wear
than normal use, making professional inspection
and maintenance after each use a vital precondi-
tion for functioning and safety.
Grains of sand, dirt particles and other abrasive
materials entering the brakes can cause exces-
sive wear or unpredictable braking action.
Rules for off-road drivingfEnsure vehicle is equipped with approved all-
terrain tires.
fPay attention to the ground clearance of the
vehicle.
Please see the chapter “GROUND
CLEARANCE” on Page 357.
fActivate Low Range.
Please see the chapter “SELECTING OFF-
ROAD DRIVING PROGRAM” on Page 178.
fStow or fasten luggage and loads securely.
Please see the chapter “LOADING
INFORMATION” on Page 231.
fIf unknown terrain is obscured from view,
examine it on foot first and traverse it with
extreme caution.
This way, obstacles are easier to recognize
and damage to the vehicle is avoided.fAlways drive with the engine running.
Power steering assistance is provided only
with the engine running.
fDrive slowly and uniformly.
fAlways make sure that the wheels touch the
ground.
fBefore driving through water, check the water
depth, the condition of the surface beneath it
and the speed of the water.
fLook out for obstacles such as boulders,
holes, tree stumps or ruts.
fAlways keep the sliding/lifting roof or
Panorama roof system and the side windows
closed while driving.
fDo not depart from marked routes or paths.
fRespect Nature.
Always obey off-limits signs.
