Checking condition

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Porsche Macan and 2015 Porsche Macan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

Information

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

Tyre pressure settings must only be entered according to the values in >> Fill info <<.

Check condition and tyre pressures.
Valve caps protect the valve from dust and dirt and therefore from damage.
Always screw on valve caps tightly and replace missing valve caps.

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 >> TPM >> Filling information <<. Adjust the deviation values so that they range from 0.0 bar to +0.1 bar. Fill the tyres 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.

Tyre pressure settings must only be entered according to the values in >> Fill info <<.

Due to the pressure and temperature relationship (approx. 0.1 bar/10° C), the actual pressure values displayed under >> Tyre pressure << on 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.

For vehicles with Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM), always use plastic valve caps. Plastic valve caps protect against dust, dirt and humidity, and therefore against damage (corrosion).

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

WARNING: Risk of accidents if the air pressure in the tyres falls below the minimum pressure, 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 significant material damage.

→ The tyre 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 tyres (for cracks, pricks, bulges in the sidewall and/or foreign bodies) must be carried out.
