Instructions for collapsible wheel / spare wheel - Turbo with PCCB

Mounting collapsible spare wheel - Turbo with PCCB





Note!
The collapsible wheel is mounted at the front or rear axle wheels using the standard wheel bolts -A- M14 x 1.5 (length 45 mm) dimension -X-!

Warning!
Vehicles with PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake):
Danger of injury and material damage through impaired brake function exists if brake discs are damaged during the mounting/removal of wheels.

- Use assembly pins in order to exclude any possibility of heavy contact of the wheel with the brake disc.





- Screw the two enclosed assembly pins, instead of two wheel bolts1 into the wheel hub before wheel removal/mounting. During removal, first remove the three remaining wheel bolts and remove the wheel carefully, without touching the brake discs.

Note!
The assembly pins can be ordered separately as a spare part! Part
Nos.: 999 571 074 30.

Placing collapsible spare wheel in to the vehicle - Turbo with PCCB

1. After using the collapsible spare wheel, release the air by unscrewing the valve case.

Note!
It takes several hours for the tyre to resume its original form! It can only be stowed in the spare wheel recess in the luggage compartment after it has resumed its initial form!

2. After releasing the air, fasten the tension straps lying opposite. To this purpose, pull the straps through the rim and place around the tyre. Position the straps in such a way that the strap fastenings are on the inner side of the rim.





3. Close the strap fastenings -arrow-. Retighten straps when necessary.

4. Stow the collapsible spare wheel in the spare wheel recess so that the tension straps lie to the front and to the rear.

Note!
^ The collapsible spare wheel may only be repaired by the manufacturer.

^ In the case of vehicles with PCCB, the spare wheel cannot be stowed in the spare wheel recess without securing it with the tension straps!

^ The loops on the tension straps simplify the removal of the collapsible spare wheel or its placement in the vehicle.
