Installing Wheel

NOTIFICATION 

Removing/fitting wheels 

• Risk of damage to (ceramic) brake discs 
  1. → Use two assembly pins when removing and fitting the wheel.
  2. → Carefully guide the wheel towards the wheel hub, thereby preventing any heavy impact on the (ceramic) brake disc.

Information 

The use of power tools (impact bolter) for loosening and securing the wheel bolts is not permitted.

Information 

The wheel bolts/security wheel bolts (thread and all surfaces) must not be greased!

1. In the event of heavy soiling, clean the wheel bolts and concavities in the rim with a lint-free cloth.

   Wheel assembly pins (PCCB brake)

   • On vehicles with ceramic brake discs (PCCB), use two assembly aids (threaded bolts for fitting wheel) -1- in order to rule out any possibility of heavy contact of the wheel with the brake disc! 
   • The assembly aids must be ordered using the Porsche Electronic Parts Information (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. 
   1. 4.1  Fit wheel -2-  on the wheel hub and screw in wheel bolts -1-  (but do not tighten yet).
   2. 4.2  Lower the vehicle.
   3. 4.3  Tighten wheel bolts -1-  to > Tightening torque 160 Nm (118 ftlb.)  .
