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.

Tire Pressure and Technical Data

Filling CapacitiesOnly use fluids and fuels approved by Porsche. Your authorized Porsche dealer can advise you.Driving PerformanceThe specifications refer to a vehicle with DIN curb weight witho ut performance-reducing additional equipment (e.g. special tires).
Engine oil change quantity without/with oil filter Approx. 2.17
US gallons (8.2 liters)/approx. 2.38 US gallons (9.0 liters)
Fuel tank Panamera S:
Approx. 80 litres, of which approx. 3.96 US gallons (15 liters) are reserve
Panamera 4S, Panamera Turbo: Approx. 100 litres, including approx. 3.96 US gallons (15 liters)
reserve
Fuel octane rating The engine is designed to provide optimum perf
ormance and fuel consumption if unleaded premium
fuel with 98 RON/88 MON (93 CLC or AKI) is us ed. If unleaded fuels with octane ratings of less than
98 RON/88 MON (93 CLC or AKI) are used, the engine’s knock control automatically adapts the
ignition timing. Porsche recommends that you use fuel with at least 95 RON/85 MON (90 CLC or
AKI) in your vehicle.
