Porsche 911 Carrera - Manual (Page 271)

Do not use commercially available sealant
or tire inflating bottles. Only use Porsche
approved tire sealant.
Please observe the chapter ”TIRE PRESSURES
FOR COLD TIRES” on page 334.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked every 2 weeks when cold
(68°F /20°C ) and inflated to the inflation pres-
sure recommended in this Owner’s Manual or on
the tire-pressure plate. If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated in this Owner’s
Manual or on the tire-pressure plate, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPC) that
illuminates a low tire pressure message when one
or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure message
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires
as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPC is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPC low tire pressure
message.
On vehicles with tire pressure monitoring:
Please observe the chapter ”TPC TIRE
PRESSURE MONITORING” on page 127.
When tires are warm, the tire pressure is
increased.
Never let air out of hot tires. This could cause
the tire pressure to fall below the prescribed
value.
Insufficient tire filling pressure can cause tires to
overheat and thus be damaged - even invisibly. Hid-
den tire damage is not eliminated by subsequently
correcting the tire pressure.
Overloading
Danger!
Risk of damage to vehicle parts, loss of
control and serious personal injury or death.
Do not overload your vehicle. Be careful about
the roof load.
If loading the vehicle also correct the tire
pressure. Tire pressure for loaded vehicle
can be found on the tire pressure plate and in
the chapter technical data.
Never exceed the specified axle load. Over-
loading can shorten the service life of the tires
and car, as well as lead to dangerous vehicle
reactions and long braking distances. Damage
due to overloading is not covered by the vehi-
cle warranty.
Please observe the chapter ”LOADING
INFORMATION” on page 278.

FOR COLD TIRES” on page 334.
