How To Do Porsche Car Tire Pressure Settings

Porsche manufactures one of the most desirable vehicle brands in the market. One of the things that make their vehicles desirable is the fact that they are fast and stable at all speeds. For the latter to be optimized, the vehicle needs to have its tire pressure in each of the tires in the correct range. With this guide, you can learn how to check and optimize the tire pressure settings in your vehicle.

Understanding Tire Pressure

When talking about stair pressure in porches, the most accurate way to assess it is by using cold inflation pressure. This is the tire pressure before the tires are warmed up, which means the vehicle should not have been driven for at least one hour. Suboptimal tire pressure reduces fuel economy, causes premature failure of the tires, drastically increases tire wear, and increases vehicle emissions. Excessive pressure is a common cause of decreased braking performance, uneven tire wear, and impact-breaks.

Checking The Tire Pressure Using the Porsche TPMS

Porsche makes it easy for you to check the tire pressure in all the tires using its proprietary TPMS system which has been available on all Porsches since the 997 model onward. To use it:

• While your car is on, check your vehicle’s infotainment system display and find the “Fill Info” option and select it.
• Check the “Fill Indicator” reading for each tire. This should be a value of “zero”. A negative number implies an under-inflated, while a positive number shows that the tire is overinflated.
• Use this information to either fill up or reduce the pressure in each of the tires.

Keep an eye on the “Check Tire Pressure” light for new vehicle’s dashboard. This indicates that the tire pressure in one or more of your tires is critically low.

Changing Tire Pressure to Suit Your Driving

You can change the tire pressure in your Porsche to suit your driving style. You can do this in the following manner:

• Standard Pressure: this is the tire pressure that is present in all the tires in the vehicle when you first buy it. It is designed for a slightly harder ride quality but provides improved performance.
• Comfort Pressure: if you prefer a more comfortable driving mode, the vehicle tire pressure can be reduced slightly to make the suspension softer and to improve ride comfort.

To change between standard pressure and comfort pressure, go to the infotainment system display, select vehicle, then Controlled Vehicle, then choose “Tire Pressure Monitoring”. You can choose comfort or standard pressure from this screen.
