Safety notes!
f Only use genuine Porsche spare parts for your
vehicle or spare parts of similar quality which
have been manufactured according to the
specifications and production requirements of
Porsche. These parts are available from your
authorized Porsche dealer or a qualified
specialist workshop. Safety-related
accessories should only be used if they are
from the Porsche Tequipment range or are
tested and approved by Porsche. Your
authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to
advise you and answer any questions you may
have.
However, the use of other parts or
accessories may adversel y affect the safety
of your vehicle, and Porsche can take no
responsibility for any loss or damage caused
by their use.
Even if the supplier of other accessories or
parts is a recognized supplier, the safety of
your vehicle may still be affected if such items
are installed.
Due to the large variety of products offered in the accessory market, it is not possible for
Porsche to inspect and approve every one.
f In addition, please note that the use of
replacement parts that are not genuine
Porsche parts or approved parts, or the use of
accessories not approved by Porsche may
also detrimentally affect your vehicle warranty.
f Check your vehicle regularly for signs of
damage. Damaged or missing aerodynamic
components, such as spoilers or underbody
panels, impair vehicle handling and must
therefore be replaced immediately.

Minor Repairs
Tires and 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 equipment wheels, be su re 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
operation 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.
f If while driving, your vehicle experiences a
sudden 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.
f Stop 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.
f Continuing to operate the vehicle without
correction could result in a loss of control and serious personal injury.
