Minor Repairs 277
Headlight Adjustment
fCheck tire pressure and adjust if necessary.fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE FOR COLD TIRES (68 °F/ 20 °C)” on page 287.fPlease see the chapter “REPLACING BULBS” on page 276.
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 low beam (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 correct position of the cutoff is 2.0 in. (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 an authorized Porsche dealer.
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-foot 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.

A-Height adjustment
Height adjustment
1. Switch ignition on. 2. Switch on low beam. 3. Open luggage compartment lid. 4. Remove the relevant toolbox. 5. Open up the cover A for the adjusting screw. 6. Place Allen wrench (5 mm) on adjusting screw. 7. Adjust low beam in the corresponding direction.
Towing
Certain state statutes and local ordinances prohibit 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.
Flatbed towing is the preferred type of towing to be used on Porsche vehicles.
Information
fAlways observe the laws governing towing and tow-starting.fExercise extreme care when your vehicle is being towed.
No power assistance is available on the towed vehicle when its engine is not running. Greater force is therefore required when braking and steering.fExercise extreme care when your vehicle is being towed.
When the engine is not running, adequate lubrication of the transmission is not guaranteed. Observe the following points to avoid damage to the transmission.
Towing a vehicle on all four wheels
We urge that wherever possible, a car transporter or trailer be used to transport a 911 Turbo vehicle that cannot move under its own power. This is the safest way to transport a down vehicle.
For those instances where a car transporter or trailer is not available, the vehicle may be towed on all four wheels only, provided the following
conditions are strictly met. Failure to meet these conditions will result in serious and expensive damage to the PDK transmission.
If the vehicle's transmission or shifter is already damaged, serious damage will result if the vehicle is not towed with all four wheels off the ground.
Porsche cannot be held responsible for damage incurred in cases where a vehicle has been transported on one or both of its axles.
Towing a vehicle on all four wheels:
fThe vehicle must not be towed if the PDK transmission is in emergency operation mode (“ Transm. failure Park vehicle safely”). The vehicle must be transported with a car transporter or on a trailer.fIf a selector lever emergency release was performed, the vehicle must not be towed. The vehicle must be transported with a car transporter or on a trailer.fMove PDK selector lever to position N. To properly engage selector-lever position N on the display and at the selector lever, the engine must be started once before towing the vehicle. The vehicle can be towed as soon as the selector lever is in position N and selector- lever position N appears on the display.fThe vehicle must always roll on all four wheels when towed.The ignition must be switched on so that the brake lights and turn signal lights operate.fDo not exceed a maximum speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).Maximum towing distance 30 miles (50 km).If towing distances are greater, the vehicle must be transported with a car transporter or on a trailer.
