To ensure adequate clearance between chain
and wheel arch, use only the fine-link chains
recommended and approved by Porsche.
Remove hardened snow and ice from inside the
wheel arches before fitting snow chains.
Different countries have varying statutory re-
quirements governing maximum speed, which
must be observed .
When fitting tyres already mounted on rims, en-
sure that the coloured wheel bolt is opposite the
valve. When removing, mark the direction of ro-
tation on each wheel , e.g., FR, FL , RR and RL.
This precaution ensures that the wheels will be
remounted in the same position, thus obviating
the risk of imbalance.
Note
It can be helpful during winter to keep a hand-
brush and scraper in your Porsche to clear the
windows of ice and snow, as well as a board to
put under the jack and some dry sand to help
traction when pulling away on icy slopes.
