Information
- On vehicles with PCCB, use two assembly aids (threaded pins for fitting wheel) in order to rule out any possibility of heavy contact of the wheel with the brake disc!
- The assembly aids should be obtained from the Porsche Parts Service (Part No. 999.571.074.30)!
- Vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring system (TPM): Every new set of wheels or wheel change must be communicated to the control unit (even if the new wheels have the same specifications as the old ones). To do this, select >>Tire pressure, Settings, Tire type and Tire size<< in the main menu on the instrument cluster and confirm your selection. The control unit then stores these values while the vehicle is driving (at more than 25 km/h (16 mph)). The current tire pressure is not available during this time.
- For information on teaching the TPM system, see → 4X00IN GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPM) .
- The wheel mounting trolley can be used to make mounting easier.
NOTE:
Removing/fitting wheels
- Risk of damage to (ceramic) brake discs
