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
motorists. 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.
A tire sealant and compressor with pressure
tester are located in the toolbox in the luggage
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.

an emergency repair. Even with the tire air-
tight, it may be used only for short journeys
in an emergency.

(80 km/h).
f Do not use commercially available sealant or
tire inflating bottles.
Use only the tire sealant located in the tool box
in the luggage compartment.

Risk of accident.
f Have tires replaced by a specialist workshop
as soon as possible.

speeds.
