Spare wheel
Warning!
Risk of accident. The wheel size, tyre size
and tyre quality of the spare wheel and
normal wheel may differ.
If a spare wheel is used that differs from
the normal tyres used, this may impair the
driving behaviour.
f The spare wheel must be used only over short
distances in cases of emergency.
For safety reasons, replace the tyres before
the wear indicators appear (webs in the tyre
grooves, 1.6 mm high).
f Never deactivate the Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) system.
f If the tyre on the spare wheel is older than
4 years old, the spare wheel should be used
only in the event of a flat tyre.
f Avoid hard acceleration and high cornering
speeds.
The maximum permitted speed is 80 km/h
(50 mph) if the mounted spare wheel differs
from the other three wheels on the vehicle.
This maximum speed must not be exceeded
because of altered driving characteristics and
for reasons of wear.
Removing spare wheel
Warning!
Danger of injury if the spare wheel is
removed improperly.
f Remove the spare wheel only when the spare
wheel bracket is locked.
f Remove the spare wheel from the spare wheel
bracket with care. The wheel is very heavy (up
to around 35 kg).

2. Remove the top wheel bolt.
Remove assembly aid from the tool kit and
screw in instead of the wheel bolt.

Fitting spare wheel
f Insert wheel bolts and tighten by hand.
Remove assembly aid, screw in remaining
wheel bolt.
Initially tighten bolts only slightly in diagonally
opposite sequence so that the wheel is
centred.

bolts to 150 Nm (111 ftlb.).
