Checking Condition

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2018 Porsche Cayenne, 2017 Porsche Cayenne, 2016 Porsche Cayenne, 2015 Porsche Cayenne, and 2014 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring (TPM), which can be identified by aluminum valves, the tyre pressure must be adjusted according to the >> Filling information << on the multi-function display. To do this, select >> Main menu >> Tyre pressure >> Filling information <<. Adjust the deviation values so that they range from 0.0 bar to +0.1 bar. Fill the tires according to the display using the tyre-inflating device. Example: If the tyre pressure display >> Filling information << shows - 0.2 bar, 0.2 bar pressure must be added.

Information 

The >> Tyre pressure << display is for information purposes only.

Due to the pressure and temperature relationship (approx. 0.1 bar/10° C), the actual pressure values displayed under >> Tyre pressure << in the multi-function display, or on the pressure gauge of the tyre-inflating device, can deviate from the required pressure specified at 20° C on the tyre pressure plate if the air temperature in the tyre is significantly above (higher values) or significantly below 20° C (lower values). Changes in tyre pressure are displayed after max. 1 minute under >> Filling information << after switching on the ignition. A series of dashes (-.-) will appear instead of the tyre pressure during this time.

Always use plastic valve caps on vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring (TPM). Plastic valve caps protect against dust, dirt and humidity, and therefore against damage (corrosion).

Tires are a safety element that fulfil the demands placed on them only if they have the correct air pressure and a sufficient tread depth.

WARNING: Risk of accidents if the air pressure in the tires falls below the minimum, if the tread depth is insufficient or if there are foreign bodies, pricks, cracks and bulges in the sidewall (ply breakage).
  • Modified handling behavior can cause accidents and major material damage.

→ The air pressure must never fall below the values specified (these are minimum pressures).

→ The tread depth must never fall below the minimum value.

→ A visual inspection of the tires (for cracks, pricks, bulges in the sidewall and/or foreign bodies) must be carried out.

  1. Check condition and tyre pressure.
  2. Always screw on valve caps tightly and replace missing valve caps.

Notes 

Cold tyre pressures (at approx. 20° C) 

Information 

The currently applicable air pressure values and comfort tyre pressure values in the individual countries can be found in the Manufacturer Approval >>Approved wheels and tires<< in the >>Manufacturer Approvals<<, Group 4.

Tyre pressures apply to all-season, winter and summer tires. They also apply only to tires approved by Porsche.

Part load: The tyre pressure is specified for a load of up to 3 people + 21 kg of luggage.

The collapsible spare wheel is an optional extra (tyre sealant comes as standard).
