Towing

Certain state statutes and local ordinances
prohibit towing with a chain, rope or even a tow
bar. In addition, damage to your vehicle may result
from improper precedures. Consult your
authorized Porsche dealer for details.
Flat bed towing is the preferred type of towing to
be used on Porsche vehicles. Under certain
circumstances, wheel lifts may be used when
vehicle will not roll.
The vehicle must be towed with all four
wheels off the ground, otherwise damage to
the vehicle may result.

WARNING
Towed Vehicle Hazards
No power assistance is available on the towed
vehicle when its engine is not running. Greater
force is therefore required when braking and
steering.
f
Exercise extreme care when your vehicle is
being towed.
When the engine is not running, adequate
lubrication of the transmission is not guaranteed.
Observe the following points to avoid damage to
the transmission.
Towing a vehicle on all four wheels
NOTICE
We urge that wherever possible, a car transporter
or trailer be used to transport a Cayenne 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 Tiptronic S transmission.
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.
