Towing
If you have to tow a vehicle, it should not be
heavier than your own vehicle.
Warning!
Risk of accident. No servo assistance is
available on the towed vehicle when its
engine is not running. Greater force is there-
fore necessary when braking and steering.
f Exercise great care when on tow.
When the engine is stationary, adequate lubrica-
tion of the transmission is not guaranteed.
Observe the following points to avoid damage to
the transmission:
f
Put the gearshift lever in neutral or move the
Tiptronic selector lever to position N .
The Tiptronic selector lever can no longer be
operated in the event of an electrical fault.
Blocking of the Tiptronic selector lever in
position P can be overridden manually.
To do this:
Please observe the chapter “SELECTOR
LEVER EMERGENCY OPERATION” on
Page 177.
f
The vehicle must always roll on all four wheels
when towed.
The ignition must be switched on so that the
brake lights and direction indicator lights
operate and the steering lock cannot engage.
f
Do not exceed the maximum speed
of 50 km/h (30 mph).
Maximum towing distance 50 km (30 miles).
If towing distances are greater, the vehicle
must be transported with a car transporter or
on a trailer.
Towing on a single axle
When the engine is stationary, adequate lubrica-
tion of the transmission is not guaranteed.
Observe the following points to avoid damage to
the transmission:
f It is normally not permissible to raise one axle,
irrespective of whether it is the front or rear
axle.
If circumstances dictate that the vehicle must
be towed in this manner, the drive shaft
(cardan shaft) of the rolling axle must be
removed.
f Put the gearshift lever in neutral or move the
Tiptronic selector lever to position N .
f
Switch ignition off.
The ignition key must remain in the ignition lock
so that the steering wheel lock does not
engage.
The control unit must be removed from the
ignition lock and the ignition key inserted on
vehicles that have Porsche Entry & Drive. To
do this:
Please observe the chapter “REMOVING THE
CONTROL UNIT FROM THE IGNITION LOCK” on
Page 160.
f
Make sure that the vehicle is adequately
illuminated.
f Do not exceed the maximum speed
of 50 km/h (30 mph).
Maximum towing distance 50 km (30 miles).
If towing distances are greater, the vehicle
must be transported with a car transporter or
on a trailer.
Pulling out a vehicle stuck in snow,
sand, etc.
Always pull out the stuck vehicle with the greatest
care.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the spare-
wheel well contains one or two towing lugs.
f
When pulling out the vehicle, always use two
towing lugs if possible.
Screw in the towing lugs only at the front or
rear in each case.
f Do not pull out the vehicle abruptly or at an
angle.
f
If possible, pull the vehicle out backwards in its
own tracks.
f Do not pull out the vehicle with a trailer
attached.
