200 Storage, Luggage Compartment and Roof Transport System
Roof Transport System
A roof transport system can be fitted on the vehicle for transporting various sports and hobby equipment.
Various objects can be transported safely and securely using the roof transport system and additional attachments, e.g. ski rack, bicycle rack, surfboard rack, roof box or snowboard holder.fOnly use roof transport systems that have been tested and approved by Porsche. It is not possible to fit commercially available roof rack systems.
fInstall individual load-carrying devices, such as ski rack or roof box as centrally as possible with respect to the supports.fDo not exceed the permissible roof load, permissible gross weight and permissible axle loads.Details of these weights and loads can be found under “Technical data” in this Owner’s Manual:Please see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on page 288.fDistribute load evenly, with heavy items as low as possible. Items of luggage must not project beyond the side of the load area.fFix and secure every item to the basic carrier with a rope or lashing strap (do not use elastic rubber tensioners).fBefore every trip, and at regular intervals during long trips, check that the Roof Transport System and load are secure. Re-tighten if necessary and secure further by locking. Tighten all fastening screws again.
When the Roof Transport System is loaded, the maximum speeds depends on the nature, size and weight of the load being carried.fDriving, braking and steering behavior change due to the higher center of gravity and the greater wind resistance. You should adapt your driving style accordingly.Nevertheless, Porsche recommends that you do not exceed the posted speed limit.fNever drive faster than 80 mph (130 km/h) when the Roof Transport System is fitted and loaded.fWith the basic carrier fitted and no load, do not exceed a maximum speed of 110 mph (180 km/h).
Washing the vehicle in a car wash or failure to observe the overall vehicle height or the maximum permitted gross weight can damage the vehicle or roof transport system.fRemove the complete roof transport system before washing the vehicle in a car wash.fCheck the overall vehicle height with the roof transport system fitted before driving into multi-storey car parks, garages, underground garages and tunnels.fDo not exceed the permissible roof load, permissible gross weight and permissible axle loads.Details of these weights and loads can be found under “Technical data” in this Owner’s Manual:Please see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on page 288.

1.Lift seals F on the roof rail using the hook of the torque wrench and pull them out. 2. Fold out all eight rotary holders G using the hook of the torque wrench. 3. Unlock cover flaps H using the key and fold upwards as far as possible.4. Ensure that the carriers are fitted in accordance with the stickers on the underside of the carriers.

5. When fitting for the first time: Remove the handle from the torque wrench.Loosen screws on the underside of the carriers using the short side of the torque wrench.
Information
It is only necessary to loosen the screws on one underside section of the relevant carrier.
Place long carrier A at the front and short carrier B at the rear on the rotary holders G and, at the same time, adapt to the vehicle width by means of the moveable carrier supports.Tighten the screws on the underside sections of the carriers slightly.
Remove the carriers and retighten the screws on the underside sections of the carriers using the short side of the torque wrench.6. Refit the handle of the torque wrench.

7.Place the carriers on rotary holders G.
Risk of damage to the seals through unintentional pinching between roof and supports.fInsert seals F in the supports.
8. First, screw in all eight carrier fastening screws using torque wrench D until flush with the surface. Then tighten all eight screws until the arrow markings on the torque wrench are exactly aligned.
9. Fold the cover flaps H of the carriers fully downwards and push the desired load-carrying device (e.g. ski box, bicycle carrier) into the carrier.
10. Cut the cover trims C to size and push them sideways into the carriers or press them into the carriers from above to protect against moisture and dirt as well as to prevent wind noise.11. Fold up and lock the cover flaps.
Information
fAfter driving 30 miles (50 km), retighten all screws on the carriers and load-carrying devices.

Loading Information
Definitions
The rear-axle load is the vehicle weight on the rear axle plus the weight of the transported load.
The Curb weight – actual weight of your vehicle - vehicle weight including standard and optional equipment, fluids, and emergency tools. This weight does not include passengers and cargo.
The Gross Vehicle Weight is the sum of the curb weight and the weight of passengers and cargo combined.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is the maximum total weight of vehicle, passengers, luggage and optional equipment.
The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum load limit for the front or the rear axle. This information is located on the safety compliance sticker located in the driver’s side door aperture area.
For determining the compatibility of the tire and vehicle load capabilities:fPlease see the chapter “TIRES AND WHEELS” on page 244.
The load capacity coefficient (e.g. “106”) is a minimum requirement. For more information:fPlease see the chapter “INSCRIPTION ON RADIAL TIRE” on page 252.
The Gross Combined Weight Rating is the maximum total weight rating of vehicle, passengers and cargo.
The Vehicle Capacity Weight – Load Limit - is the maximum total weight limit specified of the load (passengers and cargo) for the vehicle. This is the maximum weight of passengers and cargo that can be loaded into the vehicle. This infor-mation can be found on the tire pressure plate.
The maximum loaded vehicle weight is the sum of curb weight, accessory weight, vehicle capacity weight and production options weight.
The load rating is the maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given inflation pressure.
The maximum load rating is the load rating for a tire at the maximum permissible inflation pressure.
The cargo capacity is the permissible weight of cargo, the subtracted weight of passengers from the load limit.fNever exceed the permissible limits.
Injuries are much more likely in an accident if persons ride in the cargo area.fPersons must ride only on the seats provided for this purpose. fMake sure that everybody fastens their safety belts.
Overloading will lead to dangerous vehicle reactions and long braking distances.fNever exceed the specified axle loads.
Risk of damage to the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded.
Overloading can shorten the service life of the tires and car. Damage due to overloading is not covered by the vehicle warranty.fNever exceed the specified axle loads.

Example for determining the combined weight of occupants and cargo
Vehicle Load Capacity
fThe combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed the weight shown on the tire plate in the vehicle.Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE PLATE” on page 284.fNever exceed the number of passengers shown on the tire pressure plate in the vehicle.
Determining the combined weight of occupants and cargo:
fAdd the weight of all occupants and then add the total luggage weight ( figure).
Steps for determining correct load limit
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds” on your vehicle’s placard (depending on the date of manufacture).2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be four - 150 lb passengers
in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. [1400 - 600 (4 x 150) = 800 lbs.]. 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
