Emergency Starting with Jumper
CablesIf the battery is discharged, e.g. in winter or after
the car has been parked for a long time, the bat-
tery of another car can be used for starting with
the help of jumper cables.
Make sure the voltage of both batteries is the
same.
The capacity (Ampere hours, Ah) of the booster
battery must not be substantially less than that of
the discharged battery.The discharged battery
must be correctly connected to the vehicle's elec-
trical system.
fPlease observe the chapter “BATTERY” on
Page 320.
Note
Do not try to start the car by pushing or towing.
Damage to the catalytic converters and other
components of the car may result.
Danger!
Risk of damage and serious personal injury
due to short circuit.
fUse only jumper cables of adequate diameter
cross-section and fitted with completely insu-
lated alligator clips.
fFollow all warnings and instructions of the
jumper cable manufacturer.
fWhen connecting jumper cables, make sure
that they cannot get caught in any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
The jumper cables must be long enough so
that neither vehicles nor cables touch another.
fThe vehicles must not be in contact, otherwise
current might flow as soon as the positive ter-
minals are connected.
fThe cable clamps must not be allowed to con-
tact each other when one end of the jumper ca-
bles are connected to a battery.
fCarefully ensure that tools or conductive jewel-
ery (rings, chains, watch straps) do not come
into contact with the positive jumper cable or
the positive battery post.
fImproper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin
the alternator.
Danger of caustic burns.
fDo not lean over the battery.Danger of gas explosion.
fImproper use of booster battery to start a ve-
hicle may cause an explosion, resulting in se-
vere personal injuries.
fKeep sources of ignition away from the bat-
tery, e.g. open flame, burning cigarettes or
sparking due to cable contact or welding work.
fA discharged battery can freeze even at
14°F ( 10°C). Before connecting jumper ca-
bles, a frozen battery must be thawed out.

Practical Tips, Minor Repairs
Replacing Bulbs
Warning!
Danger of short circuit.
fAlways switch off the relevant consumer when
changing bulbs.
Danger of injury. The headlights are under
high voltage when installed.
fExercise extreme caution when working in the
area of the headlights.
Risk of damage. Bulbs of a higher wattage
can damage the light housing.
fOnly use the bulbs specified in the bulb chart.
fBulbs must be clean and free from oil, grease
or fingerprints.
fNever touch bulbs with your bare hands.
Use a cloth or soft paper when replacing bulbs.
fAlways carry spare bulbs with you.
In certain countries, the carrying of spare
bulbs is mandatory.
Caution!
Risk of damage to headlights due to exces-
sive temperatures and abrasion.
fAttach no coverings (e.g. films, “stone
guards”) in the area of the headlights.
fUse soapy water only to clean light lenses and
plastic headlight lenses. In no case may chem-
ical cleaners or other volatile cleaning fluids be
used.
fTo prevent scratches, do not rub with a dry or merely moist cloth, tissue or insect sponges.

Practical Tips, Minor Repairs
TowingCertain state statutes and local ordinances prohib-
it towing with a chain, rope or even a tow bar. In
addition, damage to your vehicle may result from
improper procedures. Consult your authorized
Porsche dealer for details.Vehicle towingFlat bed towing is the preferred type of towing to
be used on Porsche vehicles. Under certain cir-
cumstances, wheel lifts may be used when the ve-
hicle will not roll.
The vehicle must be towed with all four
wheels off the ground, otherwise damage to
the vehicle may result.Towing hookThe towing hook is contained in the tool kit.
Caution!
Risk of damage to the vehicle.
fUse the towing hook only for an emergency to
remove the vehicle off the road. The towing
hook is to be used only to pull the vehicle onto
the flat bed, tractor or towing aparatus if the
vehicle will roll freely. Under no circumstances
is the vehicle to be secured using the towing
hook.
fNever use the towing hook to tow this or any other vehicle.
Vehicles with Tiptronic
fDo not tow-start vehicles with a Tiptronic
transmission.
The vehicle cannot be tow-started, nor should
this be attempted due to the risk of serious
transmission damage.
Vehicles with manual transmission
Only tow-start vehicles fitted with a catalytic con-
verter when the engine is cold.
If the engine is warm, unburned fuel could damage
the catalytic converter.Front and rear mounting
1. Carefully lever out the appropriate plastic cov-
erA in the bumper with the screwdriver.
The cover is captive and need not be removed
completely.

Vehicle Identification, Technical Data Snow chains
1)
Snow chain clearance can be guaranteed only with the tire + rim combination marked
1).
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).
For safety reasons, vehicles with snow chains must not be driven faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
fObserve the respective road traffic regulations.
fUse only Porsche-authorized fine-link cross-type or edge chains. Cayenne S Tires Wheel Rim offset Track
