Setting the right tire pressure
Tire pressure that is too low or too high destroys the
tire and wheel, extends the braking distance, and
significantly increases the risk of an accident. If the
tire pressure is too low, there may also be a notice-
able increase in energy consumption and a decrease
in range.
e Adjust tire pressure in accordance with the tires
fitted and the load.
> Please see chapter "Technical Data" on
page 274.
> Please see chapter "Wheels and Tires" on
page 252.
e Ensure that the settings in the Tire Pressure
menu in the multifunction display correspond to
the tires fitted on the vehicle and the current
load of the vehicle.
e If a red tire pressure warning appears on the
multifunction display: Stop immediately in a
suitable place and check the tires for damage. Do
not continue driving with damaged tires. If nec-
essary, repair damage using tire sealing
compound.
> Please see chapter "Flat Tire" on page 114.
Checking the lights
If the lights are not working, your vehicle will be dif-
ficult to see when visibility is poor. Other road users
may notice you too late, increasing the risk of an
accident.
e Check that all lights function correctly and have
defective lights repaired immediately. Compo-
nents of the lighting system are the following:
– Side, low beam, driving, high beam lights
– Turn signal, brake and reversing lights
– Fog lights
Checking aerodynamic components
Damaged or missing aerodynamic components
(such as spoilers or underbody paneling) impair ve-
hicle handling.
e Check your vehicle regularly for damage.
e Damaged or missing components must be re-
placed immediately.
Safety and Driving Pleasure
Keeping the windshield, windows and wind-
shield wipers clean and functional
Dirty windshields and windows as well as defective
windshield wipers reduce visibility and significantly
increase the risk of an accident.
e Keep the vehicle and windshield/windows clean.
e Thaw frozen windshield wipers and free them
from the windshield.
e Replace windshield wipers regularly, or at the
latest when they leave streaks on the windshield.
> Please see chapter "Windshield wipers" on
page 265.
Service and modifications to the vehicle must
be performed by an authorized Porsche dealer
Any modification to the vehicle may impair or elimi-
nate its safety functions. Unauthorized work per-
formed during the warranty period may result in
claims being invalidated.
