Tyre Pressure Monioring (TPM)

[aholymanjones55]

I was looking through my manual and found a section on TPM that made me think. Not sure what my settings are. If you look at page 105 of the manual you will find it recommends for speeds up to 270km or 165 mph the tyre pressure can be reduced to to increase driving comfort.

My car was set up correctly on 20 inch for summer use, but neither Full Load or Comfort Pressure was selected. My bar ratings on those settings 2.2 on front and 2.7 on rear. I have now selected comfort and will revert to Full Load for more excited driving, so reducing bar to 2.1 and 2.5.

The US Porsche web site has some neat videos on both interior and exterior features.

Here is the one for TPM.

Thanks for the video, lots of info there on many things.

It would be nice if Porsche directed us to it!

Is Porsche TPM available as a retroft on my 2013 Cayenne Diesel? Does my 2013 even have Tyre Pressure Warning ?

There is no Summer or Winter setting for the tyres, the pressures that Porsche quote in the handbook and on the vehicle tyre data are valid at 20C, the TPM will take the outside air temperature into account when you look at the "Fill Info" display which shows you the differential pressures. Roughly speaking for each 10C variation either side of 20C the pressure setting difference is 0.1bar. Partial Load + the higher road speed seems to give a good compromise between ride quality and handling on my 991 GTS irrespective of me driving with/without a passenger and/or luggage.
