fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
The display as well as the settings for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System take place on the multi-function display.
However, the tire pressure must still be set manually on the wheel.fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE FOR COLD TIRES (68 °F/ 20 °C)” on page 287.
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure increases the risk of a tire failure and resulting loss of control. Furthermore, low tire pressure increases rate of wear of the affected tires.Please note that the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of Tire Pressure Monitoring System low tire pressure telltale. Low tire pressure reduces the road safety of the vehicle and destroys the tire and wheel.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System gives a warning about a pressure drop caused by natural diffusion as well as about a gradual loss of pressure caused by foreign objects.Tire Pressure Monitoring cannot warn you about tire damage that occurs suddenly (e.g. flat tire due to abrupt external effects).fWhen a red tire pressure warning appears, stop immediately in a suitable place and check the tires for damage. If necessary, remedy the damage with a tire sealant.fDo not by any means continue to drive with defective tires.
fSealing the tire with tire sealant is only an emergency repair so you can drive to the nearest specialist workshop.The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph (80 km/h) .fDo not drive with tires in which the tire pressure drops again very quickly. In case of doubt, have tires checked by a specialist workshop.fDefective tires must be replaced immediately at an authorized Porsche dealer.Tires must never be repaired under any circumstances.fIf Tire Pressure Monitoring System is defective (e.g. defective wheel transmitter), contact an authorized Porsche dealer immediately and have the damage repaired. The tire pressure will not be monitored at all or will be monitored only partially when Tire Pressure Monitoring System is defective.
For information on warning messages on the multi- purpose display:fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.fIncomplete entries or selection of the wrong tires on the multi-purpose display affect the accuracy of warnings and messages.The settings in the tire pressure menu must be updated following a wheel change or changes in vehicle loading.fUse only the pressure differences shown in the “ Fill info” display in the Tire pressure menu or from the corresponding tire pressure warning when correcting the tire pressure.fTires can lose air over time without a tire defect being present. A tire pressure warning
will then appear on the multi-purpose display.Check the tire pressure at the next opportunity.
Warning light
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.fAlways check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Driving and Driving Safety 169
Static and fluttering
When the line-of-sight link between a transmitter and vehicle is blocked by large buildings or mountains, the radio sound may be accompanied with static or fluttering because of the characteristic of FM.
In a similar effect, a fluttering noise is sometimes heard when driving along a tree-lined road.
This static and fluttering can be reduced by adjusting the tone control for greater bass response until the disturbance has passed.
Multipath
Because of the reflecting characteristics of FM, direct and reflected signals may reach the antenna at the same time (multipath) and cancel each other out. As a vehicle moves through these electronic dead spots, the listener may hear a momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Station swapping
When two FM stations are close to each other, and an electronic dead spot, such as static or multipath area, interrupts the original signal, sometimes the stronger second signal will be selected automatically until the original one returns. This swapping can also occur as you drive away from the selected station and approach another station of a stronger signal.
Compact disk player
To avoid damage to compact disk player and disks.fUse only compact disks labeled as shown, having no dirt, damage or warpage.
fNever attempt to disassemble or oil any part of the player unit. Do not insert any object other than a disk into the slot. Remember there are no user-serviceable parts inside the compact disk player.fDo not allow the disk to sustain any fingerprints, scrapes or stickers on the surfaces. This may cause poor sound quality.Hold the disk only on the edge or center hole.fWhen not in use, take the disk out of the player, put the disk back into its case and store it away from dust, heat, damp and direct sunlight.Leaving the disk on the dashboard in the sun can damage the disk.fIf the disk gets dirty, clean the disk by wiping the surfaces from the center to the outside in a radial direction with a soft cloth. Do not use a conventional record cleaner or anti-static record preservative. Disk cleaners are available in audio stores.
Car Telephone and Aftermarket Alarms
Important legal and safety information regarding the use of cellular telephones
Some jurisdictions may prohibit the use of cellular telephones while driving a vehicle. Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas where you drive.
Looking away from the road or turning your attention away from your driving to operate a cell phone will sooner or later cause an accident. fDo not attempt to operate a hand-held cell phone while you are driving. Safety is more important than a phone call.
fLearn to operate the hands-free phone, if it is available, before you start driving. Then make use of the hands-free phone at all times.
It is essential to observe the telephone manufacturer’s instructions before operating the telephone.
Any portable telephone or radio transmitter which is used in a Porsche must be properly installed in accordance with the technical requirements of Porsche.
The transmission power must not exceed 10 W.
The devices must possess a type approval for your vehicle and have an “e” symbol.
If you should require equipment with transmission power values greater than 10 W, please consult your authorized Porsche dealer for this purpose. They are familiar with the technical requirements for installing devices of this kind.
The antennas for all radios and telephones with a transmitting antenna must be externally mounted.
The improper installation of radios or telephones or use of a radio or telephone with a transmitting antenna inside the car may cause the warning lights to come on.
Improper installation of such equipment can create a discharged battery or excessive current draw from added equipment.

230 Maintenance and Car Care
Fuel Recommendations
Your Porsche is equipped with catalytic converters and must use UNLEADED FUEL WITHOUT METALLIC ADDITIVES ONLY .
Your engine is designed to provide optimum performance and fuel economy using unleaded premium fuel with an octane rating of 98 RON/ 88 MON (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/ 85MON (90 CLC or AKI) , since the engine’s “Electronic Octane™ knock control” will adapt the ignition timing, if necessary.
If fuels of less than 95 RON/85 MON (90 CLC or AKI) are used however, this could reduce performance and increase fuel consumption.fAvoid driving at full throttle.
It is important to observe the regular service intervals, and particularly the oil change intervals, specified in the “Maintenance” booklet.
The use of UNLEADED FUEL WITHOUT METALLIC ADDITIVES ONLY is critically important to the life of the catalytic converters. Deposits from leaded fuels or metallic additives will ruin the converters and make them ineffective as an emission control device. Metallic additives can cause serious engine damage.
Cars with catalytic converters have a smaller fuel tank opening, and gas station pumps that dispense unleaded fuel have smaller nozzles. This will prevent accidental pumping of leaded fuel into cars with catalytic converters.
Unleaded fuels may not be available outside the continental U.S. and Canada. Therefore, we recommend you do not take your car to areas or countries where unleaded fuel may not be available.
Information
In some countries the available fuel quality may not meet the requirements of your Porsche vehicle and can result in coking inside or around the injector bores or other serious damage to the engine, fuel system or exhaust system.
In this case, the fuel may be mixed only with the additive sold and recommended by Porsche after consulting your authorized Porsche dealer.
Porsche part number 000 043 206 89.fObserve the instructions and mixture ratios stated on the container.
It is important that the service intervals, particularly the oil change intervals, are observed in accordance with the specifications in the “Maintenance” booklet.
Risk of destruction of the engine, fuel system or exhaust system if non-approved additives are used.fUse only additives approved by Porsche. The use of other additives can result in destruction of the engine, fuel system or exhaust system of your vehicle.
Octane ratings
Octane rating indicates a fuel’s ability to resist detonation. Therefore, buying the correct octane gas is important to prevent engine “damage”.
The RON octane rating is based on the research method. The CLC (U.S. Cost of Living Council octane rating) or AKI ( antiknock index) octane rating usually displayed on U.S. fuel pumps is calculated as research octane number plus motor octane number, divided by 2, that is written as:
The CLC or AKI octane rating is usually lower than the RON rating:
For example: 95 RON equals 90 CLC or AKI.
Fuels containing ethanol
Do not use any fuels containing more than 15 percent ethanol by volume.
We recommend, however, to change to a different fuel or station if any of the following problems occur with your vehicle: – Deterioration of drivability and performance. – Substantially reduced fuel economy. – Vapor lock and non-start problems, especially at high altitude or at high temperature. – Engine malfunction or stalling.

Maintenance and Car Care 235
Repairing the underbody protection
The underside of your car is durably protected against chemical and mechanical influences.
As it is not possible to exclude the risk of damage to this protective coating in day to day driving, it is advisable to have the underside of the car inspected at certain intervals - preferably before the start of winter and again in spring - and the undercoating restored as necessary.
Your authorized Porsche dealer is familiar with the bodyseal treatment procedures and has the necessary equipment for applying factory approved materials. We recommend that you entrust them with such work and inspections.
Unlike conventional spray oils, undercoating and rust-proofing compounds based on bitumen or wax do not attack the sound-proofing materials applied at the factory.
The exhaust system becomes very hot when the engine is running. Flammable material close to the exhaust system could ignite. Additional undercoating or rust protection agents on or near the exhaust system can become too hot when driving and ignite.fDo not apply additional undercoating or rust-proofing on or near the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converters or heat shields. During driving the substance used for undercoating could overheat and ignite.
fBefore applying fresh underseal, carefully remove deposits or dirt and grease. Once it has dried, the new undercoating compound forms a tough protective coating which provides efficient rust-proofing of the floor panels and components.
fAlways apply a fresh coating of suitable preservative to unprotect areas after cleaning the underside of the body, the transmission, the engine or carrying out repairs to under-body, engine or transmission components.
Effective rust-proofing is particularly important during the cold weather season. If your car is driven frequently in areas where salt has been spread on the roads, the whole engine compartment should be cleaned thoroughly after the winter to prevent salt from causing any lasting damage. A full under-body wash should also be performed at the same time.
Cleaning headlights, lights, interior and exterior plastic components, adhesive foils, reversing camera and radar sensor for adaptive cruise control
Observe the following points: fUse only clean water and a little dishwashing liquid or interior window cleaner to clean headlights, lights, plastic components and surfaces.Use a soft sponge or a soft, lint-free cloth.fDo not spray water or interior window cleaner directly onto the plastic components in the passenger compartment, but first onto a sponge or cloth. Cleaning agents may, for example, enter controls or switches and cause damage.
Information
An interior window cleaner can also be used to clean plastic surfaces (always read the cleaning instructions on the container).We recommend Porsche interior window cleaner.fGently wipe the surface without applying too much pressure.fDo not clean when dry.
fNever use other chemical cleaners or solvents.fRinse cleaned surfaces with clear water.
Alloy wheels
Metal particles (e.g. brass or copper in brake dust) must not remain too long on alloy wheels.Contact corrosion can cause pitting.
Information
Cleaners with an oxide-removing effect or wrong pH value, as are commonly used for other metals, as well as mechanical tools and products, will damage the oxide layer and are therefore unsuitable.fUse only cleaners for alloy wheels (pH value 9.5). Products with the wrong pH value can destroy the protective layer on the wheels . We recommend Porsche cleaner for alloy rims.fIf possible, wash the wheels every two weeks with a sponge or washing brush. If the wheels are exposed to road salt, grit or industrial dust, weekly cleaning is necessary.fEvery three months, after cleaning, grease the wheels with car wax or an acid-free grease (e.g. Vaseline).Rub the grease in well with a soft cloth.fPlease see the chapter “CLEANING IN CAR WASHES” on page 233.
