Collapsible spare tire
The collapsible spare tire is located under-
neath the luggage compartment. It is covered
by a lid with a quick release catch. The car
jack is stored behind the spare tire. Stored in-
side the wheel rim is the electric air compres-
sor kit. This kit also includes a plastic cover
for the road wheel to keep luggage compart-
ment or car interior clean.
Due to tread and space saver design fea-
tures of the collapsible tire, car handling may
be affected.
Therefore, do not drive more than 50 mph
or 80 km/h when using the collapsible
spare tire. It is for emergency use and
short distances only. Use the original road
tire as soon as possible.
Inflating the collapsible tire
Inflate the collapsible tire with the electric air
compressor that comes with your Porsche.
Do not use other equipment!
1. Mount spare wheel before inflating the tire.
2. Attach hose of air compressor to tire valve
and insert plug of electric cord into ciga-
rette lighter socket.
3. The required tire pressure is 32 psi or
2.2 bar. Check pressure with tire pressure
gauge.
4. Have flat road tire repaired and remounted
on car at next service stop. Remember, the
collapsible tire is for emergency use and
short distances only.
When the air is released from the collaps-
ible tire, it will return to its original shape after
cooling down for several hours. Store collaps-
ible tire in compartment underneath the lug-
gage compartment.
The collapsible spare tire cannot be re-
paired or mounted with standard workshop
equipment. Repair and remounting must
only be done by the manufacturer.
Tire tread depth
As required by law, the tread depth of the
collapsible tire is the same as that of the origi-
nal equipment tire. Replace a worn collaps-
ible spare tire in time.
If air compressor does not work
.. .Check if tobacco or any other foreign mat-
ter is lodged in the cigarette lighter socket.
Remove carefully with a wooden pick. Do
not use metal object to prevent short cir-
cuit.
.. .Check if fuse is blown. Replace with new
equivalent fuse.
Maintenance of air compressor
The air compressor is maintenance-free. Do
not apply oil or any other lubricant.
The air filter should be cleaned periodically
to assure maximum efficiency of the unit.
