Roof Transport System
f Only use roof transport systems from the
Porsche Tequipment range for your vehicle or
roof transport systems that have been tested
and approved by Porsche. It is not possible to
fit commercially available roof rack systems.
The Porsche Roof Transport System allows you
to carry various sports and hobby equipment.
Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to
tell you about the various different uses of the
Roof Transport System.
f Do 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 312.
f Distribute load evenly, with heavy items as low
as possible. Items of luggage must not project
beyond the side of the load area.
f Fix and secure every item to the basic carrier
with a rope or lashing strap (do not use elastic
rubber tensioners).
f Before 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.
f Driving, 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.
f Never drive faster than 90 mph (140 km/h)
when the Roof Transport System is fitted and
loaded.
f With 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 permitted
gross weight can damage the vehicle or Roof
Transport System.
f Remove the roof transport system completely
before washing the vehicle in a car wash.
f Check the overall vehicle height with the Roof
Transport System fitted before driving into
multi-storey car parks, garages underground
garages and tunnels.
f Do 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 312.
Information

increased with the Roof Transport System is

Fitting carrier bars
A sticker on the underside of the carrier bars
identifies the front and rear bars (illustration).
f Fit the carrier bars so that the sticker is on the
left side of the vehicle.
Always observe these markings when fitting
the carrier bars on the roof rails.
1. Secure the carrier bars in the marked areas
only. There is one bore at the inside of each
roof rail. The locking pin in the support must
engage in this bore.
2. Open the cover on the supports in order to fit
the carrier bars. To do this, insert the key and
turn it counter-clockwise to the horizontal
position.
Then fold up the cover.
Information
Clean the carrier bar support area of the roof rails
before installing.

3. Before fitting the carrier bars, unscrew the
fastening screws as far as they will go.
4. Carefully position the carrier bars on the roof
rails and straighten them. Guide the locking
pin A into the corresponding bore B in the roof
rail and secure it at this position.
5. Then tighten the tensioning screws in all the
supports to 6 ftlb. (8 Nm) one after the other
using the torque wrench. The two arrows on
the torque wrench must be perfectly aligned to
do this (6 ftlb./8 Nm). This secures the two
carrier bars both lengthwise and crosswise.
6. Close all covers and lock the locks. To do this,
turn the key clockwise to the vertical position
and remove it. Then fit the cover trims if
necessary.
Information
f Check the screws and fastenings after a short
trip, re-tighten them if necessary and check
them again at the relevant intervals.
f The screws must be checked more frequently
on bad roads. If this is not done, the Roof
Transport System can become loose or fall off
and can endanger other road users.
