Flat Tire
General information
Warning!
Failure to follow these instructions may result
in serious personal injury or death to you or to
bystanders.
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
motorists. Set the parking brake.
Do not park your vehicle where it may contact
dry grass, brush or other flammable materials.
The hot parts of the exhaust system could set
such materials on fire, thereby causing both
property damage and serious personal injury
or death.
A tire sealant and compressor with pressure tester
are located in the luggage compartment.
Please observe the safety and operating
instructions on the special sealant bottle with
a special Porsche part number and on the
compressor - these are essential.
Caution!
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 trips
in an emergency. The maximum permitted
speed is 50 mph (80 km/h).
Do not use commercially available sealant or
tire inflating bottles. Use only the tire sealant
located in the luggage compartment.
Warning!
Risk of accident, resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
Have tires replaced by a specialist workshop
as soon as possible.
Avoid hard acceleration and high cornering
speeds.

Tire sealant
Usage
The tire sealant can be used to seal small cuts,
especially in the tire tread.
Sealing the tire with the tire sealant is only an
emergency repair, so you can drive to the next
workshop. Even with the tire air-tight, it may be
used only for short trips in an emergency.
The tire sealant and a compressor with pressure
tester can be found in the luggage compartment.
