Preliminary Work: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Porsche Cayenne, 2013 Porsche Cayenne, 2012 Porsche Cayenne, and 2011 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DANGER

Vehicle can fall down

Risk of squashing or crushing
Risk of damage to the vehicle
1. Do not place any solid objects under the raised vehicle.
2. Ensure that the lifting platform is prevented from lowering.
3. Remove solid objects before lowering the vehicle.
4. Raise the vehicle only at the jacking points provided.
5. The outer jacking points should be used primarily.

When driving onto the lifting platform, bear in mind the work that needs to be carried out. In other words: if work has to be carried out in the front footwell, the vehicle should be positioned in such a way that the front doors can be opened far enough.

If the vehicle is a Cayenne with air suspension/levelling system, also observe the following instructions:

Switch off the levelling system manually (see >>Switching off levelling system<< below)!

Information

If the vehicle was raised on the lifting platform when the levelling system was switched on, it will automatically detect levelling platform mode and switch off the levelling system.

It is no longer possible to switch the levelling system on manually in lifting platform mode.

It will not be possible to carry out level adjustment, the component test or the drive link test.

Driving the vehicle a short distance at more than 7 km/h (4 mph) will resolve this.
