Practical Tips, Minor Repairs
Tire pressures
Danger!
Risk of accident.
Risk of serious personal injury or death.
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure
increases risk of a tire failure and resulting
loss of control. Furthermore, low tire pres-
sure increases rate of wear of the affected
tires and cause damage. Always use an
accurate tire pressure gauge when checking
inflation pressures.
fDo not exceed the maximum tire pressure
listed on the tire sidewall. (Also refer to “Tech-
nical data“).
fCold tire inflation pressure means: all tires
must be cold, ambient temperature maximum
68°F (20°C), when adjusting the inflation pres-
sure. Avoid sunlight striking the tires before
measuring cold pressures, since the pressures
would rise from temperature influence.
fValve caps protect the valve from dust and dirt,
and thus from leakage. Always screw caps
tightly down. Replace missing caps immedi-
ately.
fFor safety reasons, don't use tire inflating bot-tles.The tire pressure must match the prescribed
value.
You can find information on the tire pressure:
– In the front left door aperture.
– Please observe the chapter “TIRE
PRESSURES, COLD” on Page 361.
These values are for cold tires (68°F/20 °C).
fCheck the tire pressure at least every
2 weeks. Always check when tires are cold.
fOn vehicles with tire pressure monitoring
system:
Please observe the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE
MENU” on Page 89.
When tires are warm, the tire pressure is
increased.
fNever let air out of hot tires. This could cause
the tire pressure to fall below the prescribed
value.
Insufficient tire pressure can cause tires to
overheat and thus be damaged – even invisibly.
Hidden tire damage is not eliminated by subse-
quently correcting the tire pressure.Overloading
Danger!
Risk of personal injury, loss of control and
damage to vehicle parts.
fDo not overload your vehicle. Be careful about
the roof load.
fIf loading the vehicle also correct the tire pres-
sure. Tire pressure for loaded vehicle can be
found on the tire pressure plate and in the
chapter technical data.
fNever exceed the specified axle load.
Overloading can shorten the service life of the
tires and car, as well as lead to dangerous vehi-
cle reactions and long braking distances.
Damage due to overloading is not covered by the vehicle warranty.
fPlease observe the chapter “LOADING INFOR-
MATION” on Page 195.
fPlease observe the chapter “TIRE PRES-
SURES, COLD” on Page 361.

Vehicle IdentificationWhen ordering spare parts or making inquiries,
please always quote the vehicle identification num-
ber.Data bankThe data bank is located in the passenger com-
partment below the steering wheel. It contains all
important data about your car.This label contains the following information:
1. Vehicle Identification No.
2. Type/Type description
3. Engine code/Transmission code
4. Paint No./Interior
5. Optional equipment
A duplicate of this label is in your Maintenance
Booklet.
Note
The data bank can not be reordered when lost or
damaged.
Vehicle identification numberIn accordance with Federal Safety Regulations,
the vehicle identification number of your car is lo-
cated at the bottom left of the windshield frame
and can be seen from the outside and in the lug-
gage compartment on the right in front of the tool
box.

Safety compliance stickerThe safety compliance sticker is your assurance
that your new Porsche complies with all applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards which
were in effect at the time the vehicle was manufac-
tured.
The sticker also shows the month and year of pro-
duction and the vehicle identification number of
your car (perforations) as well as the Gross Vehi-
cleWeight Rating and the Gross AxleWeightRat-
ing.
Tire pressure plateThe tire pressure plate is fitted to the driver's
door.
