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, 1.6 mm high).
fNever deactivate the Porsche Stability Man-
agement (PSM) system.
fAvoid hard acceleration and high cornering
speeds.
The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h) and must not be exceeded be-
cause 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 ve-
hicle at a time.
fOn vehicles with air suspension, use the tire fill-
ing 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.

Spare wheel
Warning!
Risk of accident. The wheel and tire size and
the tire quality of the spare wheel and normal
wheel may differ.
If a spare wheel that differs from the normal
tires is used, this may impair the driving be-
havior.
fThe 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, 1.6 mm high).
fNever deactivate the Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) system.
fIf the tire on the spare wheel is older than
4 years, the spare wheel should be used only
in the event of a flat.
fAvoid hard acceleration and high cornering
speeds.
The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h) if the mounted spare wheel differs
from the other three wheels on the car. This
maximum speed must not be exceeded be-
cause of altered driving characteristics and for
reasons of wear.
fDo not use a spare wheel from a different vehi-
cle type.
fDo not mount the spare wheel from your car on a different vehicle.Removing spare wheel

1)Snow chainsSnow 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.
