Practical Tips, Emergency Service
Screw in two assembly aids for vehicles with Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake10.Take the wheel off and put a new wheel on.
Please see the chapter “WHEEL BOLTS” on
Page 248.
11.Insert wheel bolts and tighten by hand.
12.Remove assembly aids, screw in remaining
wheel bolts.
Initially tighten bolts only slightly in diagonally
opposite sequence so that the wheel
is centred.13.Inflate the tire if necessary.
Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURES FOR
COLD TIRES (68 °F / 20 °C)” on Page 289.
14.Lower the car fully and remove the jack.
15.Tighten wheel bolts in diagonally opposite
sequence.
fImmediately after changing a wheel, use
a torque wrench to check the prescribed
tightening torque (96 ftlb./130 Nm).
Note on operation for vehicles with
Tire Pressure Monitoring
fOn vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring, the
settings on the on-board computer must be
updated after the wheel change.
fPlease see the chapter “TPM TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING” on Page 143.
Checking tire pressure with a
pressure gage1. Remove the valve stem cap from the tire.
2. Press the pressure gage onto the valve stem.
Note on operation
fDo not press too hard or force the valve stem
sideways, or air will escape.
If the sound of air escaping from the tire is
heard, reposition the pressure gage.
3. Read the tire pressure on the gage stem and
compare it to the permissble tire pressure.
This information can be found on the tire pres-
sure plate or in the chapter Technical Data.
Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURES FOR
COLD TIRES (68 °F / 20 °C)” on Page 289.
4. Remove the pressure gage.

A- Filler bottle
B- Filler hose
C- Plug of the filler hose
D-Valve turner
E-Valve insert
F- Tire valveInserting sealant
1. Leave the object that caused the puncture in
the tire.
2. Remove sealant and the enclosed sticker from
the luggage compartment.
3. Adhere the sticker in the driver's field of vision.
4. Shake filler bottle A.5. Screw filler hose B onto the filler bottle.
The filler bottle is now open.
6. Unscrew valve cap from tire valve F.
7. Remove valve insert E from the tire valve with
valve turner D.
Keep the valve insert in a clean and dry place.
8. Remove plug C of the filler hose B.
9. Push filler hose onto the tire valve.
10.Hold filler bottle higher than the level of the tire
valve and press it together forcefully until the
bottle is completely emptied into the tire.
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 the cigarette light-
er and inflate the tire to the prescribed tire
pressure.
Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURES FOR
COLD TIRES (68 °F / 20 °C)” on Page 289.
14.Screw valve cap onto the tire valve.
15.Check the tire pressure after driving for around
10 minutes.
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 indi-
cated, correct the pressure to the prescribed
value.16.Please consult your authorized Porsche
dealer.
Note on operation for vehicles with
Tire Pressure Monitoring
fOn vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring, the
settings on the on-board computer must be
updated after the wheel change.
Please see the chapter “TPM TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING” on Page 147.
Care Instructions
After drying, any sealant that emerges can be
peeled off like a film.
Warning!
Risk of accident, resulting in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
fHave the tire replaced by an authorized
Porsche dealer immediately.
fAvoid hard acceleration and high cornering
speeds.
fDo not exceed maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
fPlease always observe the safety and opera-
ting instructions, which can be found in the
separate operating instructions for the sealant and on the compressor.

Fuel qualityYour engine is designed to provide optimum performance and fuel economy using
unleaded premium fuel with an octane rating of 98 RON (93 CLC or AKI).
Porsche therefore recommends the use of these fuels in your vehicle.
Porsche also recognizes that these fuels may not always be available. Be assured that your vehicle
will operate properly on unleaded premium fuels with octane numbers of at least 95 RON (90 CLC or AKI),
since the engine’s “Electronic Oktane™ knock control” will adapt the ignition timing, if necessary.
