Removing Wheel

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.

NOTE: Removing/fitting wheels

Risk of damage to (ceramic) brake discs

→ Use two assembly pins when removing and fitting the wheel.

→ Carefully guide the wheel towards the wheel hub, thereby preventing any heavy impact on the (ceramic) brake disc.

Information

Use assembly aids (threaded pin for mounting wheel) in order to exclude any possibility of heavy contact of the wheel with the brake disc! The assembly aids (threaded pins for mounting wheel) should be obtained via the Porsche parts service (Part No. 999.571.074.30)!
For vehicles with a Tyre 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 >>Tyre pressure, Settings, Tyre type and Tyre 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 .
The wheel mounting trolley can be used to make mounting easier .

Removing wheel
