Off-Road Driving
This section explains the special benefits offered by
the vehicle in off-road driving. Before you use the
vehicle for off-road driving:
e Read through this section carefully.
Porsche recommends practicing on less rugged
terrain.
WARNING
High level stresses on
vehicle components
Grains of sand, dirt particles and other abrasive ma-
terials can enter vehicle components such as the
brakes during off-road driving. These can cause ex-
cessive wear or unpredictable braking action, leading
to accidents or vehicle damage.
e
Have regular professional inspections and serv-
ice carried out on your vehicle.
NOTICE
Risk of damage. Front, rear and side skirts are
painted on vehicles with the SportDesign package.
e When driving off-road, make sure these parts are
not damaged.
e Make sure there is sufficient clearance between
obstacles and the underside of the vehicle.
e Avoid driving through water.
e Do not use side skirts as a running board.
Observing the rules for off-road
driving
e Always bear in mind the vehicle’s ground
clearance.
e Activate a suitable off-road driving program be-
fore starting to drive off-road.
>
Please see chapter "Off-road Driving Programs"
on page 194.
e Switch on terrain level or special terrain level, if
necessary, before starting to drive off-road. Do
not press the brake while adjusting the level.
e The level should only be adjusted on a flat
surface.
e
Stow or fasten luggage and loads securely.
>
Please see chapter "Stowing Loads" on
page 164.
e
If unknown terrain is obscured from view, exam-
ine it on foot first and drive with extreme caution
so that obstacles can be detected at an early
stage.
e
Always drive with the engine running. Power
steering is active only with the engine running.
e
Drive slowly and consistently.
e
Always make sure that the wheels are touching
the ground.
e
Before driving through water, check the water
depth, the condition of the surface beneath it
and the flow speed of the water.
e Look out for obstacles, such as boulders, holes,
tree stumps or channels.
e Always keep the roof system and side windows
closed while driving.
e
Do not deviate from marked routes or paths.
e Respect nature.
e Always obey off-limits signs.
Preparing for off-road driving
Checking wheels and tires
e Check tread depth and inflation pressure of tires.
e Check for damage and remove any foreign ob-
jects (e.g. stones) from the tread.
e
Replace missing valve caps.
e Replace dented or damaged wheels before driv-
ing off-road.
Inspecting the vehicle after off-
road driving
Off-road driving subjects the vehicle to greater
stresses than normal driving on roads. Porsche rec-
ommends that you inspect the vehicle after off-road
driving. Potential damage poses an accident risk and
impairs driving comfort. Damage to the vehicle can
be recognized in good time if the vehicle is checked.
WARNING
Damage to the vehicle
Vehicle damage poses an accident risk for the ve-
hicle occupants and other road users.
e
If in doubt, have your vehicle checked at an au-
thorized Porsche dealer.
e
Examine tires for signs of damage, such as cuts,
tears, bulges or foreign objects in the tread and
replace if necessary.
e
Have any damage to your vehicle repaired with-
out delay. Visit an authorized Porsche dealer.
Porsche recommends an authorized Porsche
dealer, as they have trained technicians and the
necessary parts and tools.
When checking the vehicle, always remember the
following:
