Functional description of Tire Pressure
Monitoring
Tire Pressure Monitoring offers the following
functions:
– Display of the actual tire pressure while the vehicle is in motion.
–“ Fill info ” display:
Display of the deviation from the required
pressure (refilling pressure) at standstill.
–“ Tire info ” display:
Display of current settings (when the vehicle is
stationary).
– Tire pressure warnings in two stages (yellow and red warning).
Selecting the Tire pressure function on the
multi-function display The “
Tire pressure ” function displays the
temperature-dependent tire pressures
(actual pressures) in the four wheels.
You can watch the tire pressure rise as the
temperature increases while driving.
This display is only for information.
f Under no circumstances should the tire
pressures be changed based on this display. Viewing “Fill info” in the Tire pressure menu
(only when vehicle is stationary)1.
Select
> “Tire pressure”
and confirm.
1. Select

Instrument Panel and Multi-Function Display
You can read the tire pressures to be
corrected on this display.
The tire pressure to be corrected (refill pressure)
is indicated on the displayed wheel.
Example: If “–1.5 psi (–0.
1 bar)" is displayed for
the rear right tire, 1.5 psi (0.1 bar) must be added
to this tire.
The displayed pressures take into account the tire
temperature.
f Only use the pressure specifications from the
“Fill info” display in the tire pressure menu or
from the respective tire pressure warning to
correct the tire pressure.
Note
Each time the ignition is switched on, it make take
approx. 1 minute until all tire pressures are
displayed. Dashes (-.-) appear instead of the tire
pressures. Viewing “Tire info” in the Tire pressure menu

Warning!
Risk of accident due to excessive speed. This
could lead to serious personal injury or
death.
f Always observe the permissible maximum
speed of the respective tire.
f Exceeding maximum tire speed could result in
a tire burst, causing loss of control of the
vehicle. This could lead to serious personal
injury or death.
Moreover, Porsche recommends obeying all
traffic laws at all times to maintain the safety of yourself and all vehicle occupants. Warning!
Incomplete entries or selection of the wrong
tires on the multi-function display affect
correct indication of warnings and
messages.
f The settings must be updated in the “Tire
pressure ” menu after changing a wheel, filling
with tire sealant or adding air (after previous
warning “ Tire pressure!”).
f Please see the chapter “RED WARNING – TIRE PRESSURE!” on page 133. The new tire type and tire
size must be selected
even if the settings for the new set of wheels are
the same as for the old wheels.
Available setting options:
–“ 18 inch ”
–“ 19 inch ”
–“ 20 inch ”
Tire selection has only been successfully
completed when the following message appears
on the multi-function display (example).
“Summer tires 19-inch was set. No monitoring,
system is learning”.
f Please see the chapter “SYSTEM LEARNING”
on page 134. Notes
The message “Action cancelled” appears if the
setting process is interrupted. All entries made up
to this point are lost, and the original settings
remain in effect.
Before fitting tires with dimensions that are not
already stored in the mult
i-function display, the
missing information should be added to the
multi-function display.
f Please contact a qualified specialist workshop.
We recommend that you have an authorized
Porsche dealer to do this work as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary
parts and tools.
f Use only tires approved by Porsche.
The available items in the tire pressure menu
depend on the model type. For this reason it is
possible that some of the selection options shown
here are not available on your multi-function
display.
1. Select

If necessary, fill in ti
re sealant and set the
correct tire pressure.
This tire pressure warning also appears when
driving and can be acknowledged.
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument
panel goes out only when the tire pressure has
been corrected.
System learningTire Pressure Monitoring begins to “learn” the
wheels after a wheel change, wheel transmitter
replacement or update of the tire settings . During
this process, Tire Pressu re Monitoring recognizes
the wheels and their locations.
The following message appears on the multi-
function display (example):
“No monitoring, system is learning”.
The wheel learning process takes place
exclusively when the vehicle is being driven
(vehicle speed above 16 mph (25 km/h)).
Tire Pressure Monitoring requires a certain
amount of time to learn the wheels. During this
time, the current tire pressures are not available
on the multi-function display:
– The tire pressure warning light remains lit until all wheels have been learned.
– Lines (-.-) appear on the display of the “Tire pressure” function. – The required pressures for cold tires (68 °F
(20 °C)) are indicated under “Fill info” in the tire
pressure menu.
Position and pressure information is displayed as
soon as Tire Pressure Monitoring has assigned
the wheels recognized as belonging to the vehicle
to the correct wheel positions.
f Check the tire pressure for all wheels under
“Fill info ”.
f Correct the tire pressure to the required
pressure if necessary.
Changing a wheel and replacing tiresfNew wheels must be fitted with radio
transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring.
Before tires are changed, the battery charge
condition of the wheel transmitters should be
checked.
Please contact a qualified specialist workshop.
We recommend that you have an authorized
Porsche dealer to do this work as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary
parts and tools.
f Switch off the ignition when changing a wheel.
The tire settings on the mu lti-function display must
be updated after changing a wheel.
If the tire settings are not updated, the message
“Tire change? Update settings!” is displayed on the
multi-function display.
f Update the multi-function display settings the
next time the vehicle is stationary.
Pressure increase as the result of
temperature increaseIn accordance with physical principles, the tire
pressure changes as the temperature
changes.The tire pressure increases or decreases
by 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) for
every 18 °F (10 °C) change in temperature.Partial monitoringMonitoring of the other wheels is continued if there
is a fault in one or two wheel transmitters.
– The tire pressure warning light lights up.
– The message “Restricted monitoring” appears
on the multi-function display.
– No tire pressures are displayed on the multi-function display for wheels with faulty
wheel transmitters.

Instrument Panel and Multi-Function Display

No monitoringIn the event of faults, Tire Pressure Monitoring
cannot monitor the tire pressure.
The warning light on the instrument panel lights up
and a corresponding message appears on the
multi-function display.
Monitoring is not active:
– if Tire Pressure Monitoring is faulty,
– if wheel transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring are missing,
– during the learning phase after the tire settings have been updated,
– after a wheel change without updating the tire settings,
– if more than four wheel transmitters are recognized,
– if there is external interference by other radio sources, e.g. wireless headphones,
– if tire temperatures are too high.
