Checking

Checking condition

WARNING

Risk of accidents if the air pressure in the tyres falls below the minimum, if the tread depth is insufficient or if there are foreign bodies, pricks, cracks and bulges in the sidewall (ply breakage).

- Modified handling behaviour can cause accidents and major material damage.

-> The air pressure must never fall below the values specified (these are minimum pressures).
-> The tread depth must never fall below the minimum value.
-> A visual inspection of the tyres (for cracks, pricks, bulges in the sidewall and/or foreign bodies) must be carried out.

Tyres are a safety element that fulfill the demands placed on them only if they have the correct air pressure and a sufficient tread depth.

Information

The ]] Tyre pressure [[ display is for information purposes only.

- Tyre pressure settings can only be entered according to the values in ]] Filling information [[.

1. Check condition and tyre pressures.

Valve caps protect the valve from dust and dirt and therefore from damage.
2. Always screw on valve caps tightly and replace missing valve caps.

For vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring (TPM), which can be identified by aluminium valves, the tyre pressure must be adjusted according to the ]] Filling information [[ on the multi-function display. To do this, select ]] Main menu ]] Tyre pressure ]] Filling information [[. Adjust the deviation values so that they range from 0.0 bar to +0.1 bar. Fill the tyres according to the display using the tyre-inflating device. Example: If the tyre pressure display ]] Filling information [[ shows - 0.2 bar, 0.2 bar pressure must be added.





Filling information

Due to the pressure and temperature relationship (approx. 0.1 bar/10°C), the actual pressures displayed under ]] Tyre pressure [[ on the multi-function display, or on the pressure gauge of the tyre-inflating device, can deviate from the required pressure specified at 20°C on the tyre pressure plate if the air temperature in the tyre is significantly above (higher values) or significantly below (lower values) 20°C. Changes in the tyre pressure are displayed after max. 1 minute in the ]] Filling information [[. A series of dashes (-.-) will appear instead of the tyre pressure during this time.





Tyre pressure

Always use plastic valve caps on vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring (TPM). Plastic valve caps protect against dust, dirt and humidity, and therefore against damage (corrosion).

Tyres are a safety element that fulfill the demands placed on them only if they have the correct air pressure and a sufficient tread depth.

Notes

Cold tyre pressures (at approx. 20° C)

Information

The currently applicable air pressure values and comfort tyre pressure values in the individual countries can be found in the Manufacturer Approval ]]Approved wheels and tyres[[ in the ]]Manufacturer Approvals[[, Group 4.

Tyre pressures apply to all-season, winter and summer tyres. They also apply only to tyres approved by Porsche.

Part load: The tyre pressure is specified for a load of up to 3 people + 21 kg of luggage.

The collapsible spare wheel is an optional extra (tyre sealant comes as standard).

Overview of tyres and wheels (standard)

- The chart of tyres and wheels for summer and winter can be found in the Manufacturer Approval ]]Approved wheels and tyres[[ in the ]]Manufacturer Approvals[[ information medium, Group 4.
- When replacing summer tyres, pay close attention to the tyre specification number. The specification characters N1, N2, N3 and N0 distinguish the summer tyres specially authorised by Porsche from other models of the same tyre type and size.

Information

- When mounting the wheel on the vehicle, observe the mounting specifications of the wheel bolts.

Notes on mounting tyres

- When fitting tyres, the direction of rotation and the inner and outer sides should be noted.
