Switching off PSMfPress PSM OFF button A.
PSM is switched off after a short delay.
The light-emitting diode in the button is lit up.
When the PSM is switched off, the multifunctio-
nal PSM light on the instrument panel is lit and
a message appears in the multi-purpose dis-
play of the instrument panel.During braking, the vehicle is stabilized even
when PSM is switched off.
One-sided spinning of the wheels is prevented,
even with PSM switched off.
PSM should always be switched on during
“normal” driving.
However, it can be of advantage to switch off PSM
temporarily in exceptional situations:
– On a loose surface or in deep snow
– When “rocking the vehicle free”
– When using snow chains.
Vehicles with Tiptronic: When the PSM is
switched off the slip monitoring function is also
deactivated.– The multifunctional light on the instrument pa-
nel lights up for a lamp check when the ignition
is switched on.
– The light indicates a control operation, inclu-
ding when PSM is switched off (brake control
in the event of one-sided wheel spin).
– In conjunction with the multi-purpose display on
the instrument panel, the light indicates that
PSM is switched off.
– Faults are displayed by the light in conjunction
with the multi-purpose display of the instru-
ment panel.
PSM is out of order.
fConsult your authorized Porsche dealer.

Snow chains
Warning!
Risk of damage to body, axle or brake com-
ponents.
fUse only the fine-link snow chains recommen-
ded and authorized by Porsche so that
sufficient clearance between the wheel well
and the chain is assured.
fPlease see the chapter “TIRES, RIMS, TRACKS”
on Page 350.
fFollow instructions issued by the supplier of the chains.
The best possible handling characteristics are
achieved when snow chains are fitted on all four
wheels of the vehicle. However, it is also possible
to fit snow chains on only one axle (preferably the
rear axle).
fRemove spacers if 18 inch tires, snow chains
or a collapsible spare wheel are mounted.
Caution!
Risk of damage to wheel housings if the
spacers on the rear axle are not removed
before fitting the snow chains.
f17 mm spacers must always be removed from the rear axle when snow chains are to be fitted.
fFor information on the spacers:
Please see the chapter “SPACERS” on
Page 293.
Please see the chapter “CHANGING A WHEEL
WITH REMOVAL OF 17 MM SPACER” on
Page 303.
fBefore fitting chains, remove accumulated ice
and snow from the wheel well.
fVehicles with snow chains must not be driven
faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
Different states and countries have varying statu-
tory requirements regarding maximum speed.
fCheck with local authorities for possible
restrictions.
fRemove chains as soon as the roads are free
of ice and snow.

SpacersfUse the spacers only together with wheels
approved by Porsche.
Before having spacers fitted, find out about the
current approval status.
fRemove spacers if 18 inch tires, snow chains
or a collapsible spare wheel are mounted.
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 fit-ted correctly. Caution!
Risk of damage to wheel housings if the
spacers on the rear axle are not removed
before fitting the snow chains.
f17 mm spacers must always be removed from the rear axle when snow chains are to be fitted.Note on operation
fTo remove or mount the spacers:
Please see the chapter “CHANGING A WHEEL
WITH REMOVAL OF 17 MM SPACER” on
Page 303.
Please see the chapter “FITTING THE 17 MM
SPACER” on Page 305.
Wheel BoltsfAlways clean the wheel bolts before installing.
Maintenance Notes
fWheel bolts must not be greased.

Initially tighten bolts in diagonally opposite se-
quence so that the wheel is centered.
6. Inflate the tire if necessary.
Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURES,
COLD (68 °F/20 °C)” on Page 354.
In vehicles with tire pressure monitoring:
Please see the chapter “SETTING THE TIRE
TYPE AND SIZE” on Page 134.
7. Lower car and remove jack.
8. Tighten wheel bolts in diagonally opposite se-
quence.
Tire Pressure Monitoring:
The settings on the multi-purpose display must be
updated after a wheel change.
fPlease see the chapter “SETTING TIRE PRES-
SURE MONITORING” on Page 132.
Maintenance Note
fImmediately after changing a wheel, use
a torque wrench to check the prescribed
tightening torque of the wheel bolts
(118 ftlb./160 Nm).
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.
