Lockable wheel nuts
You can guard against wheel theft by instal-
ling lockable wheel nuts on your wheels.
Each kit contains three keys and four wheel
nuts with lock sleeve. The locking mechanism
is identical for all four wheel nuts. When taking
the vehicle to your Porsche dealer or to a
w o r k s h o p for wheel or tire service, r e m e m b e r
to leave one key with the service attendant.
In case of loss, duplicate keys cannot be
furnished by your Porsche dealer. Do not
l e a v e these keys in the vehicle. K e e p them
in a safe place.
