Spare wheel
Warning!
Risk of accident. The wheel and tire size and
the tire quality of the spare wheel and normal
wheel may differ.
If a spare wheel that differs from the normal
tires is used, this may impair the driving be-
havior.
f The spare wheel must be used only over short
distances in cases of emergency.
For safety reasons, replace the tires before
the wear indicators appear (webs in the tire
grooves, 1.6 mm high).
f Never deactivate the Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) system.
f If the tire on the spare wheel is older than
4 years, the spare wheel should be used only
in the event of a flat.
f Avoid hard acceleration and high cornering
speeds.
The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h) if the mounted spare wheel differs
from the other three wheels on the car. This
maximum speed must not be exceeded be-
cause of altered driving characteristics and for
reasons of wear.
f Do not use a spare wheel from a different vehi-
cle type.
f Do not mount the spare wheel from your car on
a different vehicle.
