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.
