Roof Transport System<br />
f Please follow the separate instructions for fitting<br />
the Roof Transport System.<br />
f Only use Roof Transport Systems from the<br />
Porsche Tequipment product range or Roof<br />
Transport Systems which have been tested<br />
and approved for your car by Porsche. Fitting<br />
normal commercially available luggage racks<br />
is not possible.<br />
The Porsche Roof Transport System allows you<br />
to carry various sports and hobby equipment.<br />
Your Porsche partner will be pleased to tell you<br />
about the various different uses of the Roof Transport<br />
System.<br />
Caution!<br />
f Risk of damage to the paint on the rear lid.<br />
Only open the rear lid if this cannot touch the<br />
load.<br />
f Completely remove the Roof Transport System<br />
before using an automatic car wash - risk of damage<br />
to the vehicle!<br />
f Do not exceed the maximum permitted payload<br />
of 132 lbs. (60 kg), the maximum permitted<br />
gross weight and the maximum permitted<br />
axle loads.<br />
f Please see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on<br />
Page 272.<br />
f Distribute load evenly, storing heavy items as<br />
low as possible. Items of luggage must not<br />
project beyond the side of the load area.<br />
f Fix and secure every item to the basic carrier<br />
with a rope or lashing strap (do not use elastic<br />
rubber tensioners).<br />
f Before every trip, and at regular intervals<br />
during long trips, check that Roof Transport<br />
System and load are secure. Re-tighten if necessary<br />
and secure additionally by locking.<br />
f When the Roof Transport System is loaded, the<br />
maximum speed depends on the nature, size<br />
and weight of the load being carried. But never<br />
drive faster than 90 mph (140 km/h).<br />
f With the basic carrier fitted and no load, do not<br />
exceed a maximum speed of 110 mph<br />
(180 km/h).<br />
f Driving, braking and steering behavior change<br />
due to the higher center of gravity and the greater<br />
wind-resistant area. You should adapt your<br />
driving style appropriately.<br />
f Since fuel consumption and noise are increased<br />
with the Roof Transport System fitted, it<br />
should not remain on the vehicle if not in use.<br />
