Trailer Coupling
Warning!
Risk of accident.
fFollow the operating instructions for the trailer
recommended by the trailer manufacturer.
fDo not modify or repair the trailer coupling.
fBefore having new ADAPTER fitted, find out
from your authorized Porsche dealer about the
current authorization status.
fUse only ADAPTER makes tested and
approved by Porsche.fEnsure that all trailer equipment conforms to
the appropriate classification for total gross
trailer weight and tongue weight.
fPlease see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on
Page 356.
fPlease see the chapter “LOADING
INFORMATION” on Page 231.
RetrofittingHave a trailer coupling retrofitted only by an
authorized Porsche dealer. The dealer is familiar
with the manufacturer's specifications and any
necessary conversion measures.Electrical connectionYour Porsche is equipped with a 7-pin connector A
for the electrical connection to the trailer.
Warning!
Risk of accident. Failure to keep an electrical
adapter clean may result in corrosion and
affect operation of electrical lines, resulting
in possible trailer brake system failure.
fPeriodically inspect and clean adapter as needed.
Hitching trailerfAlways turn off the alarm system before you
attach a trailer.
fFollow the operating instructions for the trailer
recommended by the trailer manufacturer.
fPlease see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on
Page 356.Unhitching trailerIf the trailer is equipped with an overrun brake, do

plied.

Loading InformationDefinitionsThe towing capacity (gross weight of the trailer)
is the sum of the trailer's empty weight and the
weight of the load.
The vertical coupling load is the weight that the
trailer drawbar exerts on the trailer coupling of the
vehicle.
The rear-axle load is the vehicle weight on the
rear axle plus the weight of the transported load
and the vertical coupling load of the trailer.
The gross weight of the vehicle and trailer is
the sum of the weight of the towing vehicle and the
weight of the trailer.
The Curb weight - actual weight of your vehicle -
vehicle weight including standard and optional
equipment, fluids, emergency tools, and spare tire
assembly. This weight does not include passen-
gers and cargo.
The Gross Vehicle Weight is sum of the curb
weight and the weight of passengers and cargo
combined.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is the
maximum total weight of vehicle, passengers,
luggage, hitch, trailer tongue load and optional
equipment.The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum
load limit for the front or the rear axle. This infor-
mation is located on the safety comliance sticker
located in the driver’s side door jamb.
For determining the compatibility of the tire and
vehicle load capabilities:
fPlease see the chapter “TIRES, RIMS, TRACKS”
on Page 350.
The load capacity coefficient (e.g. “106”) is a
minimum requirement. For more information:
fPlease see the chapter “INSCRIPTION ON
RADIAL TIRE” on Page 290.
The Gross Combined Weight Rating is the
maximum total weight rating of vehicle, passen-
gers, cargo and trailer.
The Vehicle Capacity Weight - Load Limit - is
the maximum total weight limit specified of the
load (passengers and cargo) for the vehicle. This
is the maximum weight of passengers and cargo
that can be loaded into the vehicle. This informa-
tion can be found on the tire pressure plate.
If a trailer is being towed, the trailer tongue weight
must be included as part of the cargo load.
The maximum loaded vehicle weight is the
sum of curb weight, accessory weight, vehicle
capacity weight and production options weight.
The load rating is the maximum load that a tire
is rated to carry for a given inflation pressure.The maximum load rating is the load rating for
a tire at the maximum permissible inflation pres-
sure.
The cargo capacity is the permissible weight of
cargo, the subtracted weight of passengers from
the load limit.
fNever exceed the permissible limits.
Danger!
Risk of personal injury or death.
Injuries are much more likely in an accident
if persons ride in the cargo area.
fPersons must ride only on the seats provided
for this purpose.
fMake sure that everybody fastens their safety
belts.
Risk of loss of control, damage to the vehicle
and serious personal injury or death.
fNever exceed the specified axle loads. Over-
loading can shorten the service life of the tires
and car, as well as lead to dangerous vehicle
reactions and long braking distances. Damage
due to overloading is not covered by the vehicle warranty.

Example for determining the combined weight of occu-
pants and cargoVehicle Load CapacityfThe combined weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed the weight shown on the
tire plate in the vehicle.
Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE
PLATE” on Page 348.
fNever exceed the number of passengers
shown on the tire pressure plate in the vehicle.Determining the combined weight of
occupants and cargo:
fAdd the weight of all occupants and then add
the total luggage weight (figure).
Steps for determining correct load limit
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX
pounds” on your vehicle’s placard (depending
on the date of manufacture).
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver
and passengers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and
passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX
pounds.
4. The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400
lbs. and there will be five - 150 lb passengers
in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. [1400 -
750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.].
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from
your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and luggage load
capacity of your vehicle.
