Roof Transport System - Porsche 911 Carrera Owner's Manual

Roof Transport System

Coupc only
Please follow the separate instructions for
fitting the Roof Transport System.
Only use Roof Transport Systems from the
Porsche Tequipment product range or Roof
Transport Systems which have been tested
and approved for your car by Porsche. Fitting
normal commercially available luggage racks
is not possible.
The Porsche Roof Transport System allows you
to carry various sports and hobby equipment. Your
authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to tell
you about the various different uses of the Roof
Transport System.
Caution!
Completely remove the Roof Transport
System before using an automatic car wash -
risk of damage to the vehicle!
Do not exceed the maximum permitted
payload, the maximum permitted gross weight
and the maximum permitted axle loads.
Please observe the chapter "TECHNICAL
DATA" on page 328.
Distribute load evenly, with heavy items as low
as possible. Items of luggage must not project
beyond the side of the load area.
Fix and secure every item to the basic carrier
with a rope or lashing strap (do not use elastic
rubber tensioners).
Before every trip, and at regular intervals
during long trips, check that Roof Transport
System and load are secure. Re-tighten if
necessary and secure additionally by locking.
When the Roof Transport System is loaded, the
maximum speed depends on the nature, size
and weight of the load being carried.
Driving, braking and steering behavior change
due to the higher center of gravity and the
greater wind-resistant area. You should adapt
your driving style appropriately.
Since fuel consumption and noise are
increased with the Roof Transport System
fitted, it should not remain on the vehicle if not
in use.
