Off-Road Driving
Please read this chapter carefully before driving
off road with your Porsche.
The information provided will familiarize you with
the special advantages of your vehicle, allowing
you to arrive at your destination safely every time.
We recommend practicing on less rugged terrain.
Vehicles with SportDesign package
Caution!
Risk of damage. On vehicles with Sport-
Design package, front, rear, and side
member trim are painted. Off-road driving
can seriously damage these trim parts.
f When driving off-road, make sure these parts
are not damaged.
f Make sure there is sufficient clearance
between obstacles and the underside of the
vehicle.
f Avoid driving through water.
f Do not use side member trims or rear wheel
spoilers as a running board.
Maintenance Note
Please bear in mind that off-road driving subjects
all vehicle components to considerably more wear
than normal use, making professional inspection
and maintenance after each use a vital precondi-
tion for functioning and safety.
Grains of sand, dirt particles and other abrasive
materials entering the brakes can cause exces-
sive wear or unpredictable braking action.
Rules for off-road driving
f Ensure vehicle is equipped with approved all-
terrain tires.
f Pay attention to the ground clearance of the
vehicle.
Please observe the chapter “GROUND CLEA-
RANCE” on Page 393.
f Activate Low Range.
f Stow or fasten luggage and loads securely.
Please observe the chapter “LOADING INFOR-
MATION” on Page 256.
f If unknown terrain is obscured from view,
examine it on foot first and traverse it with
extreme caution.
This way, obstacles are easier to recognize
and damage to the vehicle is avoided.
f Always drive with the engine running.
Steering assistance is provided only with the
engine running.
f Drive slowly and uniformly.
f Always make sure that the wheels touch the
ground.
f Before driving through water, check the water
depth, the condition of the surface beneath it
and the speed of the water.
f Look out for obstacles such as boulders,
holes, tree stumps or ruts.
f Always keep the sliding/lifting roof or
Panorama roof system and the side windows
closed while driving.
f Do not depart from marked routes or paths.
f Respect Nature.
Always obey off-limits signs.
