1. Insert front side marker light.
2. Press in securing spring until it engages
securely.
f Check operation of bulb.
Changing Light-Emitting Diodes
and Long-Life BulbsDaytime driving lights, front side lights, front turn
signal lights, gas-discharge bulbs in Bi-Xenon
headlights, as well as additional brake lights and
interior lights have light-emitting diodes and long-
life bulbs.
The LEDs cannot be replaced individually.
Replacement of the long-life bulbs involves
a greater amount of installation work.
fHave defective LEDs and bulbs replaced in
a qualified specialist workshop.
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.
Headlight AdjustmentfCheck tire pressure and adjust if necessary.
f Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE FOR
COLD TIRES (68 °F/20 °C)” on page 326.
f Please see the chapter “REPLACING BULBS”
on page 308.

If the vehicle's transmission or shifter is already
damaged, serious damage will result if the vehicle
is not towed with all four wheels off the ground.
Porsche cannot be held responsible for damage
incurred in cases where a vehicle has been transported on one or both of its axles.
fThe vehicle must not be towed if the PDK
transmission is in em ergency operation mode
(yellow or red “Gearbox emergency operation”
warning message). The vehicle must be
transported with a car transporter or on
a trailer.
f If a selector lever emergency release was
performed, the vehicle must not be towed.
The vehicle must be transported with a car
transporter or on a trailer.
f Move PDK selector lever to position N.
To properly engage selector-lever position N
on the display and at the selector lever, the
engine must be started once before towing
the vehicle.
The vehicle can be towed as soon as the
selector lever is in position N and selector-
lever position N appears on the display.
f The vehicle must always roll on all four wheels
when towed.
The ignition must be switched on so that the
brake lights and turn signal lights operate and
the steering lock cannot engage.
f Do not exceed a maximum speed of 30 mph
(50 km/h). Maximum towing distance 30 miles (50 km).
If towing distances ar
e greater, the vehicle
must be transported with a car transporter
or on a trailer.

Panamera 4S, Panamera TurboTowing a vehicle with PDK and all-wheel drive
Caution!
We urge that wherever possible, a car
transporter or trailer be used to transport a
Panamera vehicle that cannot move under
its own power. This is the safest way to
transport a down vehicle.
For those instances where a car transporter or
trailer is not available, the vehicle may be towed
on all four axles only, provided the following
conditions are strictly met. Failure to meet these
conditions will result in serious and expensive
damage to the PDK transmission.
