Exercise Extreme Caution when
Working on your Vehicle
Danger!
Ignoring the following instructions may
cause serious personal injury or death.
f The engine compartment of any motor vehicle
is a potentially hazardou s area. If you are not
fully familiar with proper repair procedures, do
not attempt the adjustments described on the
following pages.
f O n l y w o r k o n y o u r v e h i c l e o u t d o o r s o r i n a w e l l
ventilated area.
f Ensure that there are no open flames in the
area of your vehicle at any time when fuel
fumes might be present. Be especially
cautious of devices such as hot water heaters
which ignite a flame intermittently.
f Before working on any part in the engine
compartment, turn the engine off and let it cool
down sufficiently. Hot engine compartment
components can burn skin on contact.
f Be alert and cautious around the engine at all
times while it is running. If you have to work on
the engine while it is running, always put the
parking brake on and put the PDK selector
lever in position P or N.
f In particular, be very careful to ensure that
items of clothing (ties, shirt, sleeves etc.),
jewelry, long hair, hand or fingers cannot get caught in the fan, belts or other moving parts.
The radiator and radiator fans are in the front
of the car.
The fans can start or continue running as a
function of temperature,
even with the engine
switched off.
Carry out work in these areas only with the
engine off and exercise extreme caution.
f Your Porsche is equipped with an electronic
ignition system. When the ignition is on, high
voltage is present in all wires connected with
the ignition system; therefore, exercise
extreme caution when working on any part of
the engine while the ignition is on or the engine
is running.
f Always support your car with safety stands if it
is necessary to work under the car. The jack
supplied with the car is not adequate for this
purpose.
Switch off level control of air suspension and
height adjustment.
Please see the chapter “RAISING THE VEHICLE
WITH A LIFTING PLATFORM, TROLLEY JACK
OR STANDARD JACK” on page 290.
f When working under the car without safety
stands but with the wheels on the ground,
make sure the car is on level ground, the
wheels are blocked, and that the engine
cannot be started.
Withdraw ignition keys (switch ignition off in
vehicles that have Porsche Entry & Drive). f
Do not smoke or allow an open flame around
the battery or fuel.
Keep a fire extinguisher close at hand.
f Incomplete or improper servicing may cause
problems in the operation of the car. If in doubt
about any servicing, have it done by your
authorized Porsche dealer.
Improper maintenance during the warranty
period may affect your Porsche warranty
coverage.
f Supplies of fluids, e.g. engine oil, washer fluid,
brake fluid or coolant, are hazardous to your
health.
Keep these fluids out of children's reach and
dispose of them in accordance with the
appropriate regulations.
f Some countries require additional tools and
special spare parts to be carried in your
vehicle. Please make enquiries before driving
abroad.
Note
The tools required for changing a wheel (e.g. jack,
wheel bolt wrench, assembly aids) are not
supplied as standard with the vehicle. Your
authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to
advise you.

Changing a wheel
Danger!
Failure to follow these instructions may result
in serious personal inju ry or death to you or
to bystanders.
Before changing the wheel
f If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance off
the road. Turn the emergency flasher on and
use other warning devices to alert other
motorists.
f Do not park your vehicl e where it may contact
dry grass, brush or other flammable materials.
The hot parts of the exhaust system could set
such materials on fire, thereby causing both
property damage and severe or fatal physical
injury.
f Passengers must not be in the vehicle when it
is jacked up.
f Before you change a wheel, be sure the ground
is level and firm. If necessary, use a board
under the jack to ensure that the jack does not
sink into the ground.
f Set the electric parking brake and block the
wheels opposite the flat tire on the other side
of the vehicle.
While operating the jack
f The jack is only to be used for changing a
wheel. Do not use it as a support to work under
the car. f
The car must be jacked up only at the
illustrated jacking points. Lifting at any other
place may damage the vehicle or may result in
personal injury. Never jack the car up by the
body or the bumpers.
f For safety reasons do not use tire inflating
bottles. Do not use co mmercially available
sealant bottles. Use only the tire inflating bottle
located in the luggage compartment.
Note
The tools required for changing a wheel (e.g. jack,
wheel bolt wrench, assembly aids) are not
supplied as standard with the vehicle. Your
authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to
advise you.
Sequence of operation Warning!
The jack must be used on ly to raise the car
for wheel changing. The jack must never be
used as a support to work underneath the
vehicle. If the jack is accidentally dislodged,
you or bystanders could suffer severe
personal injury.
f Never jack up other ve hicles or other loads
with the jack.
f Always place the car on stable supports if you
have to work under it. When working under the
vehicle, always use safety stands specifically designed for this purpose. f
Please use a suitable knee rest to protect your
clothing against soiling.
1. Activate the electric parking brake and shift into 1st gear or move the PDK selector lever
to position P .
Remove the ignition key or control unit on
vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive.
2. Switch on the emergency flasher if necessary.
3. Secure the vehicle against rolling away, e.g. by means of wedges at the wheels on the
opposite side.
This is particularly important on slopes.
4. Slightly loosen the wheel bolts on the wheel to be changed.
5. Lift the vehicle only at the specified jacking points.
6. Raise the vehicle until the wheel lifts off the ground.
f Please see the chapter “RAISING THE VEHICLE
WITH A LIFTING PLATFORM, TROLLEY JACK
OR STANDARD JACK” on page 290.
7. Remove 1 or 2 wheel bolts (see corresponding figure).

f Wheel bolts must not be greased.
f Replace damaged wheel bolts.

Tightening torque
Tightening torque for wheel bolts: 160 Nm
(118 ftlb.) .
Security wheel boltsThe adapter (wrench socket) for the security
wheel bolts is stored in the tool tray under the
luggage compartment floor.
fIf the wheels have to be removed at the
workshop, do not forget to hand over the
socket for the security wheel bolts along
with the car key.
f To loosen or tighten the wheel bolt with anti-
theft protection, the adapter must be used
between the wheel bolt and the wheel
bolt wrench.
f When positioning the wrench socket, ensure
that it engages fully in the teeth of the
wheel bolt.
Flat Tire 1. Stop the vehicle as far away from the driving lane as possible.
The vehicle must be parked on a firm and flat
surface offering adequate grip.
2. Switch emergency flasher on.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Put the vehicle in 1st gear or move the PDK selector lever to position P.
5. Straighten the front wheels.
6. Remove the ignition key, or the control unit on vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive, in order to
lock the steering and pr event the engine from
being started.
7. Get all passengers to leave the vehicle.
8. Set up the warning triangle at a suitable distance.Filling in tire sealantThe tire sealant and compressor with pressure
tester can be found in the tool tray under the
loadspace floor in the luggage compartment.
The tire sealant can be used to seal small cuts,
especially in the tire tread.
Sealing the tire with the tire sealant is only an
emergency solution so you can drive to the
nearest workshop. Even if the tire is air-tight,
