5. Screw filler hose B onto the filler bottle.The filler bottle is now open.
6. Unscrew valve cap from the tire valve F.
7. Remove valve insert E from the tire valve with
valve turner D.
Keep the valve insert in a clean, dry place.
8. Remove plug C from the filler hose B.
9. Push filler hose onto the tire valve.
10.Hold the filler bottle higher than the level of the
tire valve and squeeze it forcefully until the

11.Pull filler hose off the tire valve.
12.Twist the valve insert firmly into the tire valve using the valve turner.
13.Connect the compressor to a vehicle plug socket and inflate the tire to at least 37 psi
(2.5 bar).
If this tire pressure cannot be reached, the tire
is too severely damaged. You must not
continue driving with this tire.
14.Screw valve cap onto the tire valve. 15.After driving for approx. 10 minutes, check the
tire pressure.
If the tire pressure is less than 22 psi (1.5 bar),
do not continue driving.
If a value of more than 22 psi (1.5 bar) is
indicated, correct the pressure to the
prescribed value.
f Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE FOR
COLD TIRES (68 °F/20 °C)” on page 326.
16.Please contact a qualified specialist workshop. We recommend that you have an authorized
Porsche dealer to do this work as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary
parts and tools.
f Please also make sure to follow the separate
instructions for use for the tire sealant.
Note on operation for vehicles with Tire
Pressure Monitoring
f The settings for Tire Pressure Monitoring must
be updated on the multi-function display after
filling the tire with sealant.
f Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on page 152. Care instructions
After drying, any sealan
t that emerges can be
peeled off like a film.
Warning!
Risk of accidents, resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
f Have the tire replaced by a specialist
workshop as soon as possible.
Inform the specialist workshop that the tire
contains sealant.
f Avoid hard acceleration and high cornering
speeds.
f Observe the maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
f Always observe the safety and operating
instructions, which can be found in the
separate operating instructions for the sealant and on the compressor.

Replacing the batteryThe service life of the battery is subject to normal
wear; it depends greatly on care, climatic
conditions, and driving conditions (distances,
loads).
f Only use an original Porsche battery, with the
correct part number, as a replacement. Only
this battery meets the spec ific requirements of
the vehicle.
f Please observe the disposal instructions for
batteries.
Putting vehicle into operationAfter the battery is connected or after a fully
discharged battery is charged, the PSM warning
light lights up on the instrument panel and
a message appears on the multi-function display
in the instrument panel to indicate a fault.
This fault can be corrected with a few
simple steps:
1. Start the engine. To do this, turn the igni tion key or the control
unit (on vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive)
to ignition lock position 2, twice .
2. With the vehicle stationary, perform a few steering movements to the left and right and
then drive a short distance in a straight line
until the PSM warning light goes out and the
message is erased from the multi-function
display in the instrument panel.
3. If the warnings do not disappear, then:
Drive carefully to the nearest authorized
Porsche dealer to have the fault corrected.
4. After the warnings go out: Stop the vehicle in a suitable place.
5. Store the end position for the power windows. For information on storin
g the end positions for
the power windows:
f Please see the chapter “STORING END
POSITION OF THE DOOR WINDOWS AFTER
CONNECTING THE VEHICLE BATTERY” on
page 88.
6. Teach tires on vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring.
For information on teaching the Tire Pressure
Monitoring system:
f Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING (TPM)” on page 127.
7. Store end position on vehicles with a slide/ tilt roof.
For information on storing the end position for the
slide/tilt roof:
f Please see the chapter “STORING END
POSITION OF THE SLIDE/TILT ROOF” on
page 90.

1. Insert front side marker light.
2. Press in securing spring until it engages
securely.
f Check operation of bulb.
Changing Light-Emitting Diodes
and Long-Life BulbsDaytime driving lights, front side lights, front turn
signal lights, gas-discharge bulbs in Bi-Xenon
headlights, as well as additional brake lights and
interior lights have light-emitting diodes and long-
life bulbs.
The LEDs cannot be replaced individually.
Replacement of the long-life bulbs involves
a greater amount of installation work.
fHave defective LEDs and bulbs replaced in
a qualified specialist workshop.
Please contact a qualified specialist workshop.
We recommend that you have an authorized
Porsche dealer to do this work as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary
parts and tools.
Headlight AdjustmentfCheck tire pressure and adjust if necessary.
f Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE FOR
COLD TIRES (68 °F/20 °C)” on page 326.
f Please see the chapter “REPLACING BULBS”
on page 308.

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.
