Checking the vehicle for damage and
correct functioning
A vehicle with technical defects may be the cause
of accidents due to faulty operating behavior, for
example.
e
Check your vehicle regularly (at least once a
month and prior to long trips) to ensure it is free
of technical defects. Pay particular attention to
the following:
– Undamaged tires, correct tire pressure and
sufficient tread
– Operation of headlights, brake lights and
turn signals
– Undamaged aerodynamic components
– Intact wiper blades
– Windshield and window glass is clear and
free of cracks or other damage
– Door and interior mirrors are intact and
correctly adjusted
– Sensors and cameras are without cracks or
damage
– Cooling air ducts, sensors and cameras are
not covered (e.g. by films, stone guards, li-
cense plate holders)
e
Only operate the in-vehicle telephone or radio
equipment with installed radio antenna using
the connected external aerial so that the
threshold values for electromagnetic radiation
in the vehicle are not exceeded.
Checking tires for damage
Damaged tires may burst while driving. You may
lose control of the vehicle.
e
Inspect the tires as often as required depend-
ing on use, but at least once a month, for any
foreign objects that may have entered, nicks,
cuts, tears, or dents. Check the tire sidewalls in
the process.
e
If in doubt, have the tire and the entire wheel
checked by an authorized Porsche dealer.
e
Do not continue driving with damaged tires.
Have damaged tires replaced immediately: Vis-
it an authorized Porsche dealer. Porsche rec-
ommends an authorized Porsche dealer, as
they have trained technicians and the neces-
sary parts and tools.
Setting the right tire pressure
Tire pressure that is too low or too high destroys
the tire and wheel, extends the braking distance
and significantly increases the risk of an accident.
If the tire pressure is too low, there may be a no-
ticeable increase in fuel consumption.
e
Adjust tire pressure to suit your tires and the
load.

Please see chapter "" on page .
e
Make sure that the settings in the TPMS menu
correspond to the tires fitted on the vehicle and
its payload.
>
Please see chapter "Vehicle settings" on
page 248.
e
If a red tire pressure warning appears on the
instrument cluster: Stop immediately in a suit-
able place and check the tires for damage.
Do
not continue driving with damaged tires. If nec-
essary, repair damage using tire sealant.

Please see chapter "Flat Tires" on
page 113.
Checking the lights
If the lights are not working, your vehicle will be
difficult to see when visibility is poor. Other road
users may notice you too late, increasing the risk
of an accident. Components of the lighting system
are the following:
– Side, low beam, driving, high beam, turn signal
lights
– Brake and reversing lights
