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 />
