Roof Transport SystemfPlease follow the separate instructions for
fitting the Roof Transport System.
fPlease see the chapter “LOADING
INFORMATION” on Page 231.
Fitting normal commercially available luggage
racks is not possible.
The Porsche Roof Transport System allows the
transport of various sports and hobby equipment.
Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to
tell you about the varied uses of the Roof
Transport System.
Safety Notes!
Risk of an accident, loss of control and
damage to the vehicle.
fCompletely remove the Roof Transport System
before using an automatic car wash – risk of
damage to the vehicle.
fDo not exceed the permissible roof load, the
permissible gross weight and the permissible
axle loads.
Please see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on
Page 356.
fDistribute load evenly, with heavy items as low
as possible. Items of luggage must not project
beyond the side of the load area.
fFix and secure every item to the basic carrier
with a rope or lashing strap (do not use elastic
rubber tensioners).
fBefore every trip, and at regular intervals
during long trips, check that Roof Transport
System and load are secure. Re-tighten if
necessary and secure additionally by locking.When the Roof Transport System is loaded, the
maximum speed depends on the nature, size and
weight of the load being carried.
fAdapt your driving style and speed to the
changed conditions.
Nevertheless, Porsche recommends that you
do not exceed the posted speed limit.
Driving, braking and steerin g b e h a v i o r c h a n g e d u e
to the higher center of gravity and the greater
wind-resistant area. You should adapt your driving
style appropriately.

creased with the Roof Transport System fitted,
it should not remain on the car if not in use.

Car Audio Operation/TipsFor radio operation see your radio manual
which is included with your on-board litera-
ture.FM receptionA vehicle is not an ideal place to listen to a radio.
Because the vehicle moves, reception conditions
are constantly changing.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and noise from
other vehicles are all working against good recep-
tion.
Some conditions affecting FM may appear to be
problems when they are not.
The following characteristics are completely
normal for a given reception area, and they do not
indicate any problem with the radio itself.
Note
Electronic accessories should only be installed by
your authorized Porsche dealer.
Equipment which has not been tested and
approved by Porsche may impair radio reception.Fading and drifting
FM range is limited to about 25 miles (40 km),
except for some high power stations.
If a vehicle is moving away from the desired
station's transmitter, the signal will tend to fade
and/or drift. This condition is more prevalent with
FM than AM, and is often accompanied by
distortion.
Fading and drifting can be minimized to a certain
degree by careful attention to fine tuning or selec-
tion of a stronger signal.
Static and fluttering
When the line-of-sight link between a transmitter
and vehicle is blocked by large buildings or moun-
tains, the radio sound may be accompanied with
static or fluttering because of the characteristic of
FM.
In a similar effect, a fluttering noise is sometimes
heard when driving along a tree-lined road.
This static and fluttering can be reduced by
adjusting the tone control for greater bass
response until the disturbance has passed.Multipath
Because of the reflecting characteristics of FM, di-
rect and reflected signals may reach the antenna
at the same time (multipath) and cancel each other
out.
As a vehicle moves through these electronic dead
spots, the listener may hear a momentary flutter
or loss of reception.
Station swapping
When two FM stations are close to each other, and
an electronic dead spot, such as static or multi-
path area, interrupts the original signal, some-
times the stronger second signal will be selected
automatically until the original one returns.
This swapping can also occur as you drive away
from the selected station and approach another
station of a stronger signal.10_Cayenne_21_KW17.book Seite 218 Donnerstag, 9. April 2009 3:33 15
