Fuel Quality
Your engine is designed to provide optimum performance and fuel economy using
unleaded premium fuel with an octane rating of 98 RON (93 CLC or AKI).
Porsche therefore recommends the use of these fuels in your vehicle.
Porsche also recognizes that these fuels may not always be available. Be assured that your vehicle will operate
properly on unleaded premium fuels with octane numbers of at least 95 RON (90 CLC or AKI),
since the engine's “Electronic Oktane™ knock control“ will adapt the ignition timing, if necessary.

When fitting new tires or changing tires: Please observe the chapter “TIRES/WHEELS” on Page 277.
The authorisation of tire and rim sizes is determined on the basis of extensive testing.
Tire and rim sizes Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you about the current authorisation status.
Refitting with sizes not authorized by Porsche may have a dangerous effect on driving stability.
Snow chain clearance can be guaranteed only with the tire + rim combination marked 1).
The best possible handling characteristics are achieved when snow chains are fitted on all four wheels
of the vehicle. However, it is also possible to fit snow chains on only one axle (preferably the rear axle).
Snow chains 1) For safety reasons, vehicles with snow chains must not be driven faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
