Roof Transport System
f Please follow the separate instructions for
fitting the Roof Transport System.
f Please observe the chapter “LOADING INFOR-
MATION” on Page 191.
Fitting normal commercially available luggage
racks is not possible.
The Porsche Roof Transport System allows the
transport of various sports and hobby equipment.
Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to
tell you about the manifold uses of the Roof Trans-
port System.
Warning!
Risk of an accident, loss of control and dam-
age to the vehicle.
f Completely remove the Roof Transport System
before using an automatic car wash – risk of
damage to the vehicle.
f Do not exceed the permissible roof load, the
permissible gross weight and the permissible
axle loads.
Please observe the chapter “WEIGHTS” on
Page 352.
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 journey, and at regular intervals
during long trips, check that Roof Transport
System and load are secure. Re-tighten if
necessary and secure additionally by locking.
When the Roof Transport System is loaded, the
maximum speed depends on the nature, size and
weight of the load being carried.
f
But never drive faster than 90 mph
(140 km/h).
f
With the basic carrier fitted and no load, do not
exceed a maximum speed of 110 mph
(180 km/h).
Adapt your driving style and speed to the changed
conditions.
Nevertheless, Porsche recommends that you do
not exceed the posted speed limit.
Driving, braking and steering behavior change due
to the higher center of gravity and the greater
wind-resistant area. You should adapt your driving
style appropriately.
f Since fuel consumption and noise are in-
creased with the Roof Transport System fitted,
it should not remain on the car if not in use.
