Notes on minor repairsTool kit
The tool kit is accommodated in the spare-wheel
well under the cover of the loadspace floor.
Note
The tools required for changing a wheel (e.g. jack,
wheel bolt wrench, assembly aids, folding
wedges) are only supplied with the vehicle if the
vehicle comes with a collapsible spare wheel or
full-size spare wheel as standard. Your authorized
Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you.
Tires/WheelsThe original equipment tires and wheel rims on
your Porsche comply with all applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.For your safety remember the following:– Wheel rims and wheel bolts are matched to fit
your Porsche.
– If you intend to use other than original equip-
ment wheels, be sure that they conform to
Porsche specifications for your model. Only
tires with the same make and with the same
specification code (e.g. “N0”, “N1”...) can be
mounted.
– The use of wheel rims and wheel bolts that do
not meet specifications of the original factory
installed equipment will affect the safe opera-
tion of your vehicle and affect warranty
coverage.
– Before you plan on exchanging wheels, or
snow tires already mounted on the wheel rims,
consult your authorized Porsche dealer.
Your dealer has the technical information
necessary to advise you which wheel rims and
wheel bolts are compatible with the original
factory installations.
Danger!
Risk of loss of control and serious personal
injury or death.
fIf while driving, your vehicle experiences a sud-
den 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 and serious personal injury.

Parking at the curb
Danger!
Hard impacts against curbs (or traffic
islands) are dangerous and may cause hid-
den tire damage which is not noticeable until
later. Such damage can result in accidents at
high speeds causing serious personal injury
or death. Depending on the force of impact,
the edge of the rim can also be damaged.
fIf you are in doubt, have the wheel checked by
an expert, particularly if you suspect damage
on the inside.
fIf you must drive over a curb or other obstacle,
drive slowly and at an obtuse angle. Exercise care when parking along curbs.
Maintenance Note
Tire repairs are not permissible under any circum-
stances.
Wheel alignment, wheel balancingAs a precaution, have wheels with summer tires
balanced in the spring, and those with mud and
snow tires before winter. Unbalanced wheels may
affect car handling and tire life.
Only the specified weights may be used for wheel
balancing. Self-adhesive weights must not come into contact
with cleaning agents, since they could drop off.
Uneven tread wear indicates wheel imbalance. In
this event, the vehicle should be checked at an
authorized Porsche dealer.
Danger!
If, during a trip, uneven running or vibrations
occur that could be caused by damage to
tires or the car, the speed must be reduced
immediately, but without braking sharply. If
you continue your trip without having the
cause of the fault remedied, you might lose
control of your vehicle which could cause
serious personal injury or death.
fStop the vehicle and check the tires.
fIf no cause for the fault can be found, drive ca-
refully to the nearest authorized Porsche dea-ler.
Wheels with Tire Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) sensorsBefore changing wheels, make sure that the
wheels are compatible with your vehicle’s TPM.
fCheck this with your authorized Porsche dea-
ler.
Removing and storing tiresfAfter changing, adjust tire pressure and torque
wheel bolts diagonally.
Please see the chapter “CHANGING WHEELS”
on Page 294.
fStore tires in a cool and dry place. Rotate peri-
odically to avoid flat spots.
fAvoid contact with petrol, oil and grease.
Tires must always remain on the same side of
the vehicle.
When wheels are removed, the direction of
rotation and position of each wheel should be
marked.
Example
FR (front right), FL, RR and RL.
Wheels must always be fitted in accordance with
their marking.
The perception that tire durability and perfor-
mance are not affected by storage and age is
unfounded.
Chemical additives, which make the rubber elas-
tic, lose their effectiveness over the course of
time and the rubber becomes brittle and cracks.
Therefore, the tires, especially the spare tire,
should be inspected from time to time.

SpacersfUse the spacers only together with wheels
approved by Porsche.
Before having spacers fitted, find out about the
current approval status.
fRemove spacers if 18 inch tires, snow chains
or a collapsible spare wheel are mounted.
Danger!
Risk of accident if the spacers are not
removed before mounting 18 inch tires or
collapsible spare wheel.
f17 mm spacers are always to be removed
before mounting 18 inch tires or a collapsible
spare wheel, because the wheel cannot be fit-ted correctly. Caution!
Risk of damage to wheel housings if the
spacers on the rear axle are not removed
before fitting the snow chains.
f17 mm spacers must always be removed from the rear axle when snow chains are to be fitted.Note on operation
fTo remove or mount the spacers:
Please see the chapter “CHANGING A WHEEL
WITH REMOVAL OF 17 MM SPACER” on
Page 303.
Please see the chapter “FITTING THE 17 MM
SPACER” on Page 305.
Wheel BoltsfAlways clean the wheel bolts before installing.
Maintenance Notes
fWheel bolts must not be greased.
fReplace damaged wheel bolts.
Only use the original Porsche wheel bolts
specially designed for this vehicle type.

nuts 118 ftlb. (160 Nm).
Security wheel boltsThe adapter (wrench socket) for the security
wheel bolts is located in the tool box.
To loosen or tighten the wheel bolt with anti-theft
protection, the adapter must be used between the
wheel bolt and the wheel bolt wrench.
fWhen positioning the wrench socket, ensure
that it engages fully in the teeth of the wheel
bolt.
Note on operation
fOn vehicles with 17 mm spacers on the rear
axle, the wheels are secured with steel nuts.
There is no anti-theft protection for the wheel
nuts.
fIf the wheels have to be removed at the work-
shop, please do not forget to hand over the
socket for the security wheel bolts along with
the car key.
Changing Wheels
Warning!
Failure to follow these instructions may result
in serious personal injury or death to you or
to bystanders.
Before changing the wheel
fIf you have a flat tire, move a safe distance off
the road. Turn the emergency flasher on and
use other warning devices to alert other
motorists.
fDo not park your vehicle where it may contact
dry grass, brush or other flammable materials.
The hot parts of the exhaust system could set
such materials on fire, thereby causing both
property damage and severe or fatal physical
injury.
fPassengers must not be in the vehicle when it
is jacked up.
fBefore you change a wheel, be sure the ground
is level and firm. If necessary, use a board
under the jack to ensure that the jack does not
sink into the ground.
fSet the parking brake and block the wheels
opposite the flat tire on the other side of the
vehicle.While operating the jack
fThe jack is only to be used for changing a
wheel. Do not use it as a support to work under
the car.
fThe car must be jacked up only at the illustra-
ted jacking points.Lifting at any other place
may damage the vehicle or may result in per-
sonal injury. Never jack the car up by the body
or the bumpers.
fFor safety reasons do not use tire inflating bot-
tles. Do not use commercially available sealant
bottles. Use only the tire inflating bottle
located in the luggage compartment.
