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, 1/16 in. (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.

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, 1/16 in. (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
Warning!
Danger of injury if the spare wheel is re-
moved improperly.
fRemove the spare wheel only when the spare
wheel bracket is locked.
fRemove the spare wheel from the spare wheel
bracket with care. The wheel is very heavy [approx. 77 lbs. (35 kg)].
1. Unscrew all five wheel bolts.
2. Remove the top wheel bolt.
Remove assembly aid from the tool kit and
screw in instead of the wheel bolt.
Remove the remaining wheel bolts.
Fitting spare wheel
fInsert wheel bolts and tighten by hand. Re-
move assembly aid and screw in remaining
wheel bolt.
Initially tighten bolts in diagonally opposite se-
quence so that the wheel is centerd.
fPlease observe the chapter “TIRE PRESSU-
RES, COLD” on Page 370.
fAfter mounting the wheel, tighten all five wheel
bolts to 111 ftlb. (150 Nm).
