Flat Tire
 Warning!
Failure to follow these instructions may result 
in serious personal injuries to you or to by-
standers.
f If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance off 
the road. Turn the emergency flasher on and 
use other warning devices to alert other motor-
ists. Set the parking brake.
f Do not park your vehicle where it may contact 
dry grass, brush or other flammable materials. 
The hot parts of the exaust system could set 
such materials on fire, thereby causing both 
property damage and severe or fatal physical 
injury.
f Set up a warning triangle at a suitable 
distance.
A tire repair kit, compressor and pressure tester 
are located in the left storage compartment of the 
engine compartment. 
f Please observe the safety and operating in-
structions on the special sealant bottle with a 
special Porsche part number and on the com-
pressor – these are essential.
f Have the sealant changed in accordance with 
the change intervals stated in the brochure 
“Maintenance”. 
Important note
Sealing the tire with the tire repair kit is only 
an emergency repair. Even with the tire air-
tight, it may be used only for short journeys 
in an emergency.
The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph 
(80 km/h).
f Do not use commercially available sealant or 
tire inflating bottles.
Warning!
Risk of accident.
f Have tires replaced by an authorized Porsche 
dealer as soon as possible.
f Avoid hard acceleration and high cornering 
speeds.
