TowingCertain state statutes and local ordinances prohi-
bit towing with a chain, rope or even a tow bar. In
addition, damage to your vehicle may result from
improper procedures. Consult your authorized
Porsche dealer for details.
When the turn signal light is set with the ignition on
and the emergency warning lights active, only the
turn signal light on the corresponding side of the
vehicle will light up. After the turn signal light is re-
set, the emergency warning lights will be switched
on again.Vehicle towingFlat bed towing is the preferred type of towing to
be used on Porsche vehicles. Under certain cir-
cumstances, wheel lifts may be used when the
vehicle will not roll.
The vehicle must be towed with all four
wheels off the ground, otherwise damage to
the vehicle may result.
