Flat Tire

Warning!
Failure to follow these instructions may result
in serious personal injuries to you or to by-
standers.
f If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance off
the road. Turn the emergency flasher on and
use other warning devices to alert other motor-
ists. Set the parking brake.
f Do not park your vehicle where it may contact
dry grass, brush or other flammable materials.
The hot parts of the exaust system could set
such materials on fire, thereby causing both
property damage and severe or fatal physical
injury.
f Set up a warning triangle at a suitable
distance.
A tire repair kit, compressor and pressure tester
are located in the left storage compartment of the
engine compartment.
f Please observe the safety and operating in-
structions on the special sealant bottle with a
special Porsche part number and on the com-
pressor – these are essential.
f Have the sealant changed in accordance with
the change intervals stated in the brochure
"Maintenance".
Important note
Sealing the tire with the tire repair kit is only
an emergency repair. Even with the tire air-
tight, it may be used only for short journeys
in an emergency.
The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h).
f Do not use commercially available sealant or
tire inflating bottles.
Warning!
Risk of accident.
f Have tires replaced by an authorized Porsche
dealer as soon as possible.
f Avoid hard acceleration and high cornering
speeds.
