Adjustment
The adjustment is made with the vehicle ready to
drive and the fuel tank completely filled.
The driver's seat must be loaded by a person or a
165 lbs. (75 kg) weight and the tire pressures
must meet the prescribed values. After being
loaded, the car must be rolled a few meters so
that the suspension can settle.
For checking the headlight adjustment, the
vertical position of the cutoff of the lowbeam (see
fig.) has to be projected on a vertical screen (wall)
in distance of 24.6 ft. (7.5 m) from the front lens
of the headlamp.The correc t position of the cutoff
is 3.0 in. (7.5 cm) at 24.6 ft. or 7.5 m (0.4°)
below a horizontal line, x cm from ground to the
center of the headlamp lens. Lateral adjustment of the headlights should be
carried out at a specialist workshop with an optical
adjustment unit.
Distance
Visual aim shall be performed at not less than
24.6 ft. (7.5 m) (this value is a rounded down
conversion from the 25-f
oot distance typical of
field aim using a screen). The 24.6 ft. (7.5 m)
distance is measured from the headlamp lens to
the viewing screen.
Floor
The surface upon which the vehicle rests is flat
and approximately level.
Screen
The screen upon which headlamp beams are
projected is perpendicular to the floor and the
vehicle's longitudinal axis, flat, uniformly light in
color, unobstructed, and wide and high enough to
accommodate the vehicle beam patterns to be
aimed.
The screen should be wide enough to provide at
least 3.3 ft. (1 m) of space outboard of the
vehicle's headlamp spacing.

Minor Repairs
Height adjustment
1. Switch ignition on.
2. Switch on low beam.
3. Open engine compartment lid.
4. Place allen key (6 mm) on adjusting screw.
5. Adjust low beam in direction of the arrow.
TowingCertain state statutes and local ordinances
prohibit towing with a chain, rope or even a tow
bar. In addition, damage to your vehicle may result
from improper precedures. Consult your
authorized Porsche dealer for details.
Flat bed towing is the pref
erred type of towing to
be used on Porsche vehicles.
Tips on driving
f Always observe the laws governing towing and
tow-starting.
f Exercise extreme care when your vehicle is
being towed.
– If a turn signal is operated when the ignition and emergency flasher is switched on, only the
turn signal on the corresponding side of the
vehicle lights up. The emergency flasher is
switched back on again when the turn signal is
switched off.
Warning!
Risk of accidents. No power assistance is
available on the towed vehicle when its
engine is not running. Greater force is
therefore required when braking and
steering.
f Exercise extreme care when your vehicle is being towed.
When the engine is not running, adequate
lubrication of the transmission is not guaranteed.
Observe the following points to avoid damage to
the transmission.
Panamera STowing a vehicle with PDK transmission on all
four wheels
Caution!
We urge that wherever possible, a car
transporter or trailer be used to transport a
Panamera vehicle that cannot move under
its own power. This is the safest way to
transport a down vehicle.
For those instances where a car transporter or
trailer is not available, the vehicle may be towed
on all four axles only, provided the following
conditions are strictly me t. Failure to meet these
conditions will result in serious and expensive
damage to the PDK transmission.
