Removing wheel

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Porsche Macan and 2017 Porsche Macan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

For vehicles with PCCB, use two assembly aids (threaded bolts for fitting wheel) -1- to prevent any heavy contact between the wheel and brake disc! .

Assembly aids (threaded bolts for fitting wheel)
The assembly aids must be ordered using the Porsche Electronic Parts Catalogue (PET) .
Vehicles with Tyre Pressure Monitoring (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 >> TPM, 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 tyre pressure is not available during this time .
For information on teaching the TPM system , see → 4X00IN GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPM) .
To make fitting easier, a wheel fitting trolley can be used .
