Preliminary work

Lifting the vehicle

When driving onto the lifting platform, bear in mind the work that needs to be carried out. In other words: if work has to be carried out in the front footwell, the vehicle should be positioned in such a way that the front doors can be opened far enough.

If the vehicle is a Cayenne with air suspension/levelling system, observe the following instructions.

Adjusting car to normal level

If air suspension accumulators of the air suspension are filled, only the ignition has to be switched on. If air pressure in accumulators is too low, compressor comes on and loads battery. In this case, a constanter (charging unit) must be connected or the engine must be started.

Stop the vehicle and apply the brake.

Close vehicle doors.

Tap the right-hand rocker switch on the center console in the appropriate direction until vehicle has reached normal level. The middle indicator light next to the rocker switch is permanently on. If a further indicator light should come on, a different level is adjusted.

Switching off level control

To do this:
- Adjust car to normal level.
- Switch on ignition.
- => time value: 5 s+5 s Push rocker switch forward.

The message Control switched off appears in the variable control display of the instrument panel.

Switching on levelling system

To do this:
- Switch on ignition.
- => Time value: 5 s+5 s Rocker switch must be pushed forwards, or
- set off with the vehicle. The levelling system comes on automatically.





Information for vehicles with Off-Road Stabiliser system (ORS)

The off-road stabiliser system can be identified by the -Button (arrow)- on the centre console.





WARNING

The Offroad Stabilizer System (ORS) operates at an overpressure of up to 165 bar.

- If the ORS is not depressurised, movements may occur on the wheel carrier under certain circumstances (e.g. the off-road stabilisers are disengaged when the vehicle is lifted, the switch on the centre console is pressed and the wheel carrier is also lifted). The stabilizer can close quickly. Thus there is the danger of crushing in the area of the stabilizers and wheel carriers.

-> The ORS must be depressurised before working on it. To do this, close the Porsche System Tester and select in the menu ]] Offroad Stabiliser(ORS) ]] Drive links ]] clock valve VA or valve HA [[. The valve clocks (audibly) until the procedure is finished.
-> Before working on the vehicle, ensure that the ORS is engaged. The indicator light on the centre console button must be OFF. If the indicator light is on, follow the following procedure: Switch on the ignition and engage the road driving programme ]] High Range [[. The stabilizers must audibly engage. Now lift the vehicle.
