Sport tires
Sport tires (ultra high performance tires) are approved for use on public highways and comply with all statutory requirements and safety criteria.
The design of the tire is also geared towards use on racing circuits (driver safety training courses, sports driving schools, Club Sport events) and provides distinct advantages here in terms of dry grip and wear compared to conventional road tires.
The major features are a reduced tread depth and a special tread pattern and carcass.
The design features of this sports tire result in the following effects compared with other summer tires when used under normal driving conditions:– Sport tires have a smaller tread depth, and thus can reach their wear limit sooner.As with all tires, the attainable mileage depends on the individual driving style and the conditions of use.– Exercise caution when driving on wet roads, paying special attention to hydroplaning situations (stagnant water, puddles, lane grooves). Sport tires have a lower tread depth than normal tires and you must therefore adapt speed accordingly when driving on wet surfaces.– The driver’s skill level must be commensurate with the vehicle performance levels in the upper range limits, due to increased safety risks in the upper range limits. fSport tires are not suitable for use in cold, snowy or icy conditions. At outside temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C) change to snow tires. fNotify anyone using your car of these characteristics and possible effects.

On the road…
fNever drive after you have consumed alcohol or drugs.fAlways have your safety belt fastened.fAlways drive defensively. Expect the unexpected.fUse signals to indicate turns and lane changes.fTurn on headlights at dusk or when the driving conditions warrant it.fAlways keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, depending on traffic, road and weather conditions.fReduce speed at night and during inclement weather.Driving in wet weather requires caution and reduced speeds, particularly on roads with standing water, as the handling characteristics of the vehicle may be impaired due to hydro-planing of the tires.fAlways observe speed limits and obey road signs and traffic laws.fWhen tired, get well off the road, stop and take a rest. Turn the engine off. Do not sit in the vehicle with engine idling. Please see the chapter “ENGINE EXHAUST” on page 4.fWhen parked, always put the electric parking brake on and put the PDK selector lever in position P. On hills also turn the front wheels toward the curb.fWhen emergency repairs become necessary, move the vehicle well off the road. Turn on the emergency flasher and use other warning devices to alert other motorists. Do not park or operate the vehicle in areas where the hot exhaust system may come in contact with dry
grass, brush, spilled fuel or other flammable material.fMake it a habit to check the engine oil with every refueling.
Break in hints for the first
2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers)
The following tips will be helpful in obtaining optimum performance from your new Porsche.
Despite the most modern, high-precision manufacturing methods, the moving parts must still wear in with each other. This wearing-in occurs mainly in the first 2,000 miles (3,000 km).
Therefore:
fPreferably take longer trips.fAvoid frequent cold starts with short-distance driving whenever possible.fAvoid full throttle starts and abrupt stops.fDo not exceed maximum engine speed of 4,200 rpm (revolutions per minute).fDo not run a cold engine at high rpm either in Neutral or in gear.fDo not let the engine labor, especially when driving uphill. Shift to the next lower gear in time (use the most favorable rpm range).fNever lug the engine in high gear at low speeds. This rule applies at all times, not just during the break-in period.fDo not participate in motor racing events, sports driving schools, etc. during the first 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers).
There may be a slight stiffness in the steering, gear-shifting or other controls during the break-in period which will gradually disappear.
Break in brake pads and brake disks
New brake pads and disks have to be ”broken in“, and therefore only attain optimal friction when the car has covered several hundred miles or km.The slightly reduced braking ability must be compensated for by pressing the brake pedal harder. This also applies whenever the brake pads and brake disks are replaced.
New tires
New tires do not have maximum traction. They tend to be slippery.fBreak in new tires by driving at moderate speeds during the first 60 to 120 miles (100 to 200 km). Longer braking distances must be anticipated.
Engine oil and fuel consumption
During the break-in period oil and fuel consump-tion may be higher than normal.
As always, the rate of oil consumption depends on the quality and viscosity of oil, the speed at which the engine is operated, the climate and road conditions, as well as the amount of dilution and oxidation of the lubricant.fMake a habit of checking engine oil with every refueling, add if necessary.

Tire Pressure Menu (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System, TPMS)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions:1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and2. this device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
For information on the tire inflation pressure label:fPlease see the chapter “TIRES AND WHEELS” on page 244.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces

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.

“Comfort pressure Reduce speed“ warning
If the maximum speed of the preset comfort pressure is exceeded and the tire pressure is below a critical limit, a warning message appears on the multi-function display.
Driving at excessive speeds when the comfort pressure is active will destroy the tires.fReduce speed to below the displayed maximum speed.fAlways inflate the tires to the standard tire pressure when driving at higher speeds.
System learning
Tire Pressure Monitoring System begins to “learn” the tires after a wheel change, wheel transmitter replacement or update of the tire settings. During this process, TPMS recognizes the wheels and their locations.The message “ No tire pressure monitoring System is learning ” appears on the multi- function display.
The wheel learning process takes place exclusively when the vehicle is being driven (vehicle speed above 16 mph (25 km/h)).
TPMS requires a certain amount of time to learn the wheels. During this time, the current tire pressures are not available on the multi-function display:– The tire pressure warning light stays on until all wheels have been learned.– Lines (-.-) appear on the display of the “ TPMS” function.– The required pressures for cold tires (68 °F/20 °C) are shown under “ Fill info” in the “ TPMS” main menu.
Position and pressure information is displayed as soon as TPMS has assigned the wheels recognized as belonging to the vehicle to the correct wheel positions.fCheck the tire pressure for all wheels under “ Fill info”.fCorrect the tire pressure to the required pressure if necessary (differential pressure value “0.0”).
Tire pressure warnings
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument panel and a corresponding message on the multi-function display warn about loss of pressure in two stages (yellow and red), depending on the amount of pressure loss.
