Additional Equipment
Roof Racks
Normal commercially available roof racks cannot
be fitted. - -
If an original Porsche rack (as available to date)
is fitted, the permitted roof load is 35 kg (77
lbs).
With the "Porsche Roof Transport System" you
can transport a wide variety of sports and hobby
equipment, up to a roof load of 75 kg (165 lbs).
Your Official Porsche Centre will be glad to ad-
vise you on the versatility of the "Roof Transport
System".
To ensure m1mmum noise, maximum economy
and a desirable level of safety when driving with
an unloaded roof rack, you should not exceed a
maximum speed of 180 km/h (110 mph).
When the roof rack is loaded, the recommended
maximum speed depends on the nature, size
and weight of the load. You should not, how-
ever, exceed a speed of 140 km/h (85 mph) at
any time.
Make sure that the load is carefully mounted.
Secure it additionally by locking the roof trans-
port system.

Radio Reception
The reception quality of your car radio changes
constantly while you are driving. · Interference
due to buildings, topographic features or the
weather are inevitable. FM stereo reception is
particularly sensitive to changing conditions. To
suppress interference, you can switch your radio
over to mono operation or select a different FM
stereo channel.
Car Telephone
Mobile communication systems (car telephone,
2-way radio etc.) should only be installed at a
professional workshop.
Incorrectly installed units or antennas inside the
passenger compartment may cause interference
to vehicle electronic systems when the radio is
operated.
Only use an exterior antenna for radio operation!

Coupling
Your Porsche can be fitted with a removable
towing hitch.
When attaching or detaching the removable ball
head, always follow the operating instructions
provided .
The coupling ball must always be removed
when driving without a trailer, so that the
number plate is clearly visible. Store the
removed coupling ball safely inside the ve-
hicle, e. g. in the lateral storage compart-
ments or in the spare wheel well.
