Regularly check your vehicle for signs of
damage.
Damaged or missing aerodynamic compo-
nents such as spoilers or underside panels
affect the driving behavior and therefore
must be replaced immediately.
Your car may have all or some of the components
described in this manual.
Should you have difficulty understanding any of
the explanations of features or equipment installed
in your vehicle, contact your authorized Porsche
dealer. He/She will be glad to assist you. Also
check with your dealer on other available options
or equipment.
Throughout this booklet, left is designated as the

senger’s side of the vehicle.
Text, illustrations and specifications in this manual

improvements in its product without incurring any
obligation to install them on products previously
manufactured.
We wish you many miles of safe and pleasurable
driving in your Porsche.

8Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB)The high-performance brake system is designed
for optimal braking effect at all speeds and tem-
peratures.
Certain speeds, braking forces and ambient
conditions (such as temperature and humidity)
therefore might cause brake noises.
Wear on the different components and braking
system, such as brake pads and brake discs, de-
pends to a great extent on the individual driving
style and the conditions of use and therefore can-
not be expressed in actual miles on the road.
The values communicated by Porsche are based
on normal operation adapted to traffic. Wear in-
creases considerably when the vehicle is driven on
race tracks or through an aggressive driving style.
fPlease consult an authorized Porsche dealer
about the current guidelines in effect before
such use of your vehicle.
Setting and operation vehicle
components when driving
Warning!
There is a danger of an accident if you oper-
ate or set the on-board computer, radio, nav-
igation system, telephone or other equip-
ment while driving.
This could distract you from the traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle re-
sulting in serious personal injury or death.
fOperate the equipment while driving only if the
traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
Portable Fuel Containers
Danger!
Portable fuel containers may leak, whether
they are full or partially empty. Fuel leaking
from a portable container carried in your ve-
hicle could, in case of an accident, cause a
fire or explosion, resulting in serious perso-
nal injury or death.
fNever carry additional fuel in portable contain-ers in your vehicle.
Engine Exhaust
Danger!
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled.
Engine exhaust fumes have many compo-
nents which you can smell. They also contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless
and odorless gas.
Carbon monoxide can cause unconscious-
ness and even death if inhaled.
fNever start or let the engine run in an en-
closed, unventilated area.
It is not recommended to sit in your car for pro-
longed periods with the engine on and the car not moving.
Ground ClearancePlease bear in mind the limited clearance of your
car on uneven surfaces, when parking (curbs), on
ramps, lifting platforms, etc.

Never invite car theft! An unlocked car with the key in the ignition lock in-
vites car theft.
A steering wheel lock and a gong alarm are
standard equipment in your Porsche.

door while the key is still in the ignition lock. It is
your reminder to pull the key out of the ignition
lock and to lock the doors.
Warning!
Any uncontrolled movement of the vehicle
may result in serious personal injury and
property damage.
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the
key in the ignition lock, especially if children
and/or pets are left unattended in the vehi-
cle. They can operate power windows and
other controls. If the engine is left running,
they may accidentally engage the shift lever.
Serious personal injury or death could result
from loss of control of the vehicle.

No monitoringIn the event of faults the tire pressure monitoring
cannot monitor the tire pressure.
The warning light on the instrument panel lights up
and a corresponding message appears on the
on-board computer.
Monitoring is not active when:
– the tire pressure monitoring is faulty,
– wheel transmitters for the tire pressure
monitoring are missing,
– temporarily after changing a wheel (learning
phase),
– more than four wheel transmitters are
detected,
– there is external interference by other radio
sources, e.g. wireless headphones,
– tire temperatures are too high.
fPlease observe the chapter “WARNINGS ON
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE ON-
BOARD COMPUTER” on Page 114.

2. Warning stage 1 (from –3 to –6 psi
(–0.2 bar to –0.4 bar))
3. Warning stage 2 (from –6 psi (–0.4 bar))In accordance with physical principles, the air
pressure changes as the temperature changes.
The tire pressure increases or decreases by
around 1.5 psi (0.1 bar) for every 50°F (10°C)
change in temperature.
The tire pressure monitoring takes this relation-
ship between tire pressure and temperature into
account.
Tire pressure specificationsInformation on tire pressure for public roads can
be found in this Owner's Manual or on the tire-pres-
sure plate in the left door aperture.
These values apply to cold tires at 68°F (20°C).
