Danger!
Risk of accident if the spacers are not
removed before mounting 18 inch tires or
collapsible spare wheel.

Spare wheel
Warning!
Risk of accident. The wheel and tire size and
the tire quality of the spare wheel and normal
wheel may differ.
If a spare wheel that differs from the normal
tires is used, this may impair the driving
behavior.
fThe spare wheel must be used only over short
distances in cases of emergency.
For safety reasons, replace the tires before
the wear indicators appear (webs in the tire
grooves, 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) high).
fNever deactivate the Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) system.
fIf the tire on the spare wheel is older than
4 years, the spare wheel should be used only
in the event of a flat.
fAvoid hard acceleration and high cornering
speeds.
The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h) if the mounted spare wheel differs
from the other three wheels on the car. This
maximum speed must not be exceeded
because of altered driving characteristics and
for reasons of wear.
fDo not use a spare wheel from a different
vehicle type.
fDo not mount the spare wheel from your car on a different vehicle.Removing spare wheel from bracket
Warning!
Danger of injury if the spare wheel is
removed improperly.
