Deferring inspection measures can result in accidents.fNever drive when the locking pin is not engaged.
Risk of damage due to central bolt lock not engaging.fNever drive when the locking pin is not engaged.
17. Position the wheel-hub cap in the central bolt so that the positioning tab is facing the screw groove . Then press the cap into position.Do not drive without the wheel-hub cap in place. Otherwise water and dirt can get into the central bolt and impair the function of the central bolt lock.A little grease on the rubber ring makes fitting and subsequent removal easier.18.The vehicle can now be lowered.
Rim Cleaner
Using rim cleaners: Rim cleaners can bleach the anodized surface of the central bolt.fOnly use rim cleaners approved by Porsche and use these sparingly and in accordance with instructions for use.
Central Bolt Emergency Fastening
If there is no suitable torque wrench available for tightening the central bolt to the high tightening torque of 443 ftlb. (600 Nm) in an emergency situation, the emergency fastening procedure must be used.fThe central bolt must always be fitted using the original tool (stored in the luggage compartment, see point 4).fThe vehicle must not be standing on the wheel to be secured during fitting.1. Tighten the central bolt with great force using a long lever (3/4-inch adapter required) and loosen again by 1/4 turn.2. Tighten the central bolt using a commercially available torque wrench (3/4-inch adapter required) to exactly 74 ftlb. (100 Nm).

Always complete steps 16 to 18.fPlease see the chapter “CHANGING A WHEEL” on page 258.fYou should have the central bolt loosened by a qualified specialist workshop again as soon as possible and then tightened to the specified tightening torque of 443 ftlb. (600 Nm) using a suitable torque wrench . We recommend that you get an authorized Porsche dealer.
Driving without the central bolt tightened sufficiently can result in accidents.fNever use the emergency fastening method for driving on race circuits.

Filling in tire sealant
The tire sealant can be found in the right-hand box in the luggage compartment. The compressor is located under the cover in the luggage compartment.
The tire sealant can be used to seal small cuts, especially in the tire tread.
Sealing the tire with the tire sealant is only an emergency solution so you can drive to the nearest workshop. Even if the tire is air-tight, it may only be used for short journeys in an emergency.
The tire sealant set comprises: – a filler bottle– a filler hose– a valve turner– a spare valve insert– a sticker with the maximum permitted speed– a compressor– operating instructions
Always observe the following points:fUse the tire sealant only in the case of cuts or punctures no larger than 0.15 in. (4 mm).fNever use the tire sealant if the rim is damaged.
The sealant is highly flammable and harmful to health.fFire, naked flame and smoking are prohibited when handling tire sealant.fAvoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing due to caustic chemical properties of the tire sealant.fKeep tire sealant away from children.fDo not inhale vapors, due to the consequent harm to personal health resulting in serious personal injury or death.
In the event of contact with sealant:
fIf sealant gets on your skin or into your eyes, thoroughly rinse the affected part of your body immediately with plenty of water.fChange soiled clothing immediately.fSee a doctor immediately in the event of an allergic reaction.fIf sealant is swallowed, thoroughly rinse out the mouth without delay and drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting.See a doctor immediately.

Filling in sealant
1. Leave the object that caused the puncture in the tire.2. Remove sealant and the enclosed sticker from the luggage compartment.3. Stick the sticker in the driver’s field of vision. 4. Shake filler bottle A.
5. Screw filler hose B onto the filler bottle. The filler bottle is now open.6. Unscrew valve cap from the tire valve F. 7. Remove valve insert E from the tire valve with valve turner D. Keep the valve insert in a clean, dry place.8. Remove plug C from the filler hose B. 9. Push filler hose onto the tire valve. 10. Hold the filler bottle higher than the level of the tire valve and squeeze it forcefully until the bottle is completely emptied into the tire.11. Pull filler hose off the tire valve. 12. Screw valve insert E securely into the tire valve with the valve turner D. 13. Connect the compressor to a socket in the vehicle and inflate the tire to at least 37 psi/2.5 bar/25 kPa.If this tire pressure cannot be reached, the tire is too severely damaged.Do not continue driving with this tire.14. Screw valve cap onto the tire valve F. 15. Check the tire pressure after driving for around 10 minutes.If the tire pressure is less than 22 psi/1.5 bar/15 kPa, do not continue driving.If a value of more than 22 psi/1.5 bar/15 kPa is indicated, correct the pressure to the prescribed value.fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE FOR COLD TIRES (68 °F/ 20 °C)” on page 287.
16. Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.fAlso follow the separate operating instructions for the tire sealing compound.
A tire pressure sensor that is soiled with sealant cannot determine the tire pressure correctly.fWhen the defective tire is replaced, the tire pressure sensor must be replaced.
Damaged tires could burst causing loss of control of the vehicle.fHave the tire replaced by a specialist workshop as soon as possible.fAvoid hard acceleration and high cornering speeds.fObserve maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).fAlways observe the safety and operating instructions, which can be found in the separate operating instructions for the sealant and on the compressor.

Electrical System
In order to avoid damage and faults in electrical or electronic systems, electrical accessories should be installed at an authorized Porsche dealerfUse only accessories approved by Porsche.
Replacing fuses or relays with the engine running or the ignition on could cause electrical shock.fDisconnect the negative terminal on the battery during all work on the electrical system.fPlease see the chapter “BATTERY (12 VOLT)” on page 271.
Relays
Relays should be checked or changed only at an authorized workshop.
Changing fuses
In order to prevent damage to the electrical system due to short circuits and overloads, the individual circuits are protected by fuses.
The fuse boxes are located in the side walls of the driver’s and passenger’s footwell respectively. 1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse. 2. Detach the appropriate plastic cover at the finger hole.3. Remove the relevant fuse (see fuse assignment) from its slot using the yellow plastic gripper A (left fuse box) in order to check it.A blown fuse can be identified by the melted metal strip.4. Replace only with fuses of the same rating. Spare fuses can be found in the left-hand fuse box, next to the yellow plastic gripper.We recommend that you use genuine Porsche fuses for replacement.
Information
If a fuse blows repeatedly, the cause of the fault must be corrected immediately.fPlease contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
