Changing a wheel with removal of 17 mm
spacer
Danger!
Risk of accident if the spacers are not
removed before mounting 18 inch tires or
collapsible spare wheel.
f17 mm spacers are always to be removed
before mounting 18 inch tires or a collapsible
spare wheel, because the wheel cannot be fitted correctly. Caution!
Risk of damage to wheel housings if the
spacers on the rear axle are not removed be-
fore fitting the snow chains.
f17 mm spacers must always be removed from the rear axle when snow chains are to be fitted.
fRemove spacers if 18 inch tires, snow chains
or a collapsible spare wheel are mounted.
fIt is not necessary to use a assembly aid for
mounting a wheel or spare wheel of the same
quality.
fFor information on the spacers: Please see the
chapter “SPACERS” on Page 293.

Minor Repairs
Warning!
Risk of accident.
fThe collapsible spare wheel must be used only
over short distances in cases of emergency.
For safety reasons, replace the tires before
the wear indicators appear (webs in the tire
grooves, 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) high).
fNever deactivate the Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) system.
fAvoid hard acceleration and high cornering
speeds.
The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h) and must not be exceeded
because of altered driving characteristics and
for reasons of wear.
The tread depth of the spare wheel is subject
to the same laws as the original tires.
fDo not use a collapsible spare wheel from a
different vehicle type.
fDo not mount the collapsible spare wheel from
your car on a different vehicle.
fOnly fit one collapsible spare wheel on the
vehicle at a time.
fOn vehicles with air suspension, use the tire fil-
ling connection A only to inflate the collapsible
spare wheel.
fTo avoid damage, do not use automatic car washes when the spare wheel is installed.After using the collapsible spare wheel
fRelease air by unscrewing the valve insert.
Notes on operation
The tire will revert to its original shape only after
several hours. Only then can it be stowed in the
spare wheel recess in the luggage compartment.
There is a plastic sheet in the tool box to store the
damaged wheel.
Maintenance Note
The collapsible spare wheel must be repaired only
by the manufacturer.
fPlease consult your authorized Porsche dealer
if the collapsible spare wheel is defective.
Checking tire pressure with a pressure
gage1. Remove the valve stem cap from the tire.
2. Press the pressure gage onto the valve stem.
Note on operation
fDo not press too hard or force the valve stem
sideways, or air will escape.
If the sound of air escaping from the tire is
heard, reposition the pressure gage.
3. Read the tire pressure on the gage stem and
compare it to the permissible tire pressure.
This information can be found on the tire pres-
sure plate in the left door aperture.
Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURES,
COLD (68 °F/20 °C)” on Page 354.
4. Remove the pressure gage.

Note on operation
The compressor features a protective function
against overheating and switches itself off auto-
matically if necessary. The compressor must cool
down for a few minutes after automatic deactiva-
tion.
Reducing tire pressure on vehicles with
air suspensionfOpen air bleed screw E until the correct tire
pressure is achieved.
Monitor the tire pressure with pressure tester
C while correcting the tire pressure.
