clothing against soiling.
Fixing a Flat Tire
The tools required for changing a wheel (e.g. jack,
wheel bolt wrench, assembly aids, folding
wedges) are only supplied with the vehicle if the
vehicle comes with a collapsible spare wheel or
full-size spare wheel as standard. Your authorized
Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you.
1. Stop the vehicle as far away from the driving
lane as possible.
The vehicle must be parked on a firm and flat
surface with adequate grip.
2. Switch emergency flasher on.
3. Activate the electric parking brake.
4. Put the vehicle in 1st gear or move the
Tiptronic selector lever to position P.
5. Straighten the front wheels.
6. Remove the ignition key, or the control unit on
vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive, in order to
lock the steering and prevent the engine from
being started.
7. Get all passengers to leave the vehicle.
Pay attention to other traffic.
8. Set up the warning triangle at a suitable
distance.
A - Wedges
Securing the vehicle against rolling

Using tire sealant
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 repair so you can drive to the nearest
workshop. Even if the tire is air-tight, it may only
be used for short trips in an emergency.
The tire sealant and a compressor with pressure
gauge can be found under the loadspace floor at
the right in the luggage compartment.
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
and
– instructions for use.
Always observe the following points:
f Use the tire sealant only in the case of cuts or
punctures no larger than 0.15 in. (4 mm).
f Never use the tire sealant if the rim is
damaged.
The sealant is highly flammable and harmful to
health.
f Fire, naked flame and smoking are prohibited
when handling tire sealant.
f Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing due to
caustic chemical properties of the tire sealant.
f Keep tire sealant away from children.
f Do not inhale vapours, due to the consequent
harm to personal health resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
In the event of contact with sealant:
f If sealant gets on your skin or into your eyes,
thoroughly rinse the affected part of your body
immediately with plenty of water.
f Change soiled clothing immediately.
f See a doctor immediately in the event of an
allergic reaction.
f If sealant is swallowed, thoroughly rinse out
the mouth without delay and drink plenty of
water. Do not induce vomiting.
See a doctor immediately.

COLD TIRES 68 °F (20 °C)” on page 310.
14.Screw valve cap onto the tire valve.
15.After driving for approx. 10 minutes, check
the tire pressure.
If the tire pressure is less than 22 psi / 1.5 bar
/ 150 kPa, do not continue driving.
If a value of more than 22 psi / 1.5 bar /
150 kPa is indicated, correct the pressure to
the prescribed value.
16.Please consult your authorized Porsche
dealer.
f Also follow the separate operating instructions
for the tire sealing compound.
Information
f On vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring, the
settings for Tire Pressure Monitoring must be
updated on the multi-purpose display after
filling the tire with sealant:
Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING (TPM)” on page 119.
After drying, any sealant that emerges can be
peeled off like a film.
Damaged tires could burst causing loss of control
of the vehicle.

workshop as soon as possible.
f Avoid hard acceleration and high cornering
speeds.

speeds.
The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h) if the fitted 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.
