“Comfort pressure Reduce speed“ warning
If the maximum speed of the preset comfort pressure is exceeded and the tire pressure is below a critical limit, a warning message appears on the multi-function display.
Driving at excessive speeds when the comfort pressure is active will destroy the tires.fReduce speed to below the displayed maximum speed.fAlways inflate the tires to the standard tire pressure when driving at higher speeds.
System learning
Tire Pressure Monitoring System begins to “learn” the tires after a wheel change, wheel transmitter replacement or update of the tire settings. During this process, TPMS recognizes the wheels and their locations.The message “ No tire pressure monitoring System is learning ” appears on the multi- function display.
The wheel learning process takes place exclusively when the vehicle is being driven (vehicle speed above 16 mph (25 km/h)).
TPMS requires a certain amount of time to learn the wheels. During this time, the current tire pressures are not available on the multi-function display:– The tire pressure warning light stays on until all wheels have been learned.– Lines (-.-) appear on the display of the “ TPMS” function.– The required pressures for cold tires (68 °F/20 °C) are shown under “ Fill info” in the “ TPMS” main menu.
Position and pressure information is displayed as soon as TPMS has assigned the wheels recognized as belonging to the vehicle to the correct wheel positions.fCheck the tire pressure for all wheels under “ Fill info”.fCorrect the tire pressure to the required pressure if necessary (differential pressure value “0.0”).
Tire pressure warnings
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument panel and a corresponding message on the multi-function display warn about loss of pressure in two stages (yellow and red), depending on the amount of pressure loss.

Warning light
The warning light in the instrument panel lights up: – When a loss in pressure has been detected (warning light: lights up continuously).– In the event of a defect in TPMS or a temporary fault (warning light: flashes for 60 seconds, then lights up continuously).– When learning new fitted wheels/wheel transmitters, as long as the vehicle’s own wheels have not yet been recognized (warning light: flashes for 60 seconds, then lights up continuously).
A warning message also appears on the multi- function display in the instrument panel.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument panel goes out only when the cause of the fault has been rectified.
Changing a wheel and replacing tires
fNew wheels must be fitted with radio transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Before tires are changed, the battery charge condition of the wheel transmitters should be checked.fPlease contact an authorized Porsche dealer.fSwitch off the ignition when changing a wheel.
The tire settings on the multi-function display must be updated after changing a wheel.If the tire settings are not updated, the message “Tire change? Update settings” is displayed on the multi-function display.fUpdate the multi-function display settings the next time the vehicle is stationary.
Pressure increase as the result of temperature increase
In accordance with physical principles, the tire pressure changes as the temperature changes.For every 18 °F (10 °C) change in temperature, the tire pressure increases or decreases by around 1.5 psi/0.1 bar/10 kPa.
Partial monitoring
Monitoring of the other wheels is continued if there is a fault in one or two wheel transmitters.– The tire pressure warning light lights up.– The message “Restricted monitoring” appears on the multi-function display.– No tire pressures are displayed on the multi-function display for wheels with faulty wheel transmitters.
No monitoring
In the event of faults, Tire Pressure Monitoring System cannot monitor the tire pressure. The warning light on the instrument panel lights up and a corresponding message appears on the multi-function display.
Monitoring is not active: – In the event of a defect in TPMS or if more than 2 wheel transmitters are defective.– If wheel transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring System are missing.– During the learning phase after the tire settings have been updated.– After a wheel change without updating the tire settings.– If more than four wheel transmitters are recognized.– If there is external interference by other radio sources, e.g. wireless headphones.– If tire temperatures are too high.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.

Active Safety – Porsche “Active Safe”
The adaptive cruise control sensor is used for the Porsche “Active Safe” functions.
These include: – Brake system prefilling Prefilling of the brake system if the radar sensor detects that the vehicle is coming critically close to a moving obstacle in order to bridge the air gaps and improve braking response.– Brake Assist Reduction of the activation threshold of the Brake Assist function if the sensor detects that the vehicle is coming critically close to a moving obstacle.The activation threshold of the Brake Assist function is reduced in three stages, depending on how critical the danger situation is.– Target braking If the radar sensor detects that the vehicle is coming critically close to a moving obstacle and, at the same time, braking power is inadequate, brake pressure can be increased in accordance with the situation, through to full braking if required.
Information
All Porsche “Active Safe” functions are active for speeds of more than 20 mph (30 km/h).
Latent warning (visual)
If the vehicle is driving too close to the vehicle in front for a long time, to avoid a collision if the vehicle in front brakes, a latent warning appears on the multi-function display to warn the driver.fStay further back from the vehicle in front if necessary.
Prewarning (acoustic and visual)
If the radar sensor detects that the vehicle is coming critically close to and is very likely to collide with a moving obstacle in front, an acoustic and visual prewarning is issued. This warns the driver and still allows a collision to be prevented if the driver reacts accordingly.
Risk of collision with the vehicle in front.fBrake immediately.

Driving and Driving Safety 169
Static and fluttering
When the line-of-sight link between a transmitter and vehicle is blocked by large buildings or mountains, the radio sound may be accompanied with static or fluttering because of the characteristic of FM.
In a similar effect, a fluttering noise is sometimes heard when driving along a tree-lined road.
This static and fluttering can be reduced by adjusting the tone control for greater bass response until the disturbance has passed.
Multipath
Because of the reflecting characteristics of FM, direct and reflected signals may reach the antenna at the same time (multipath) and cancel each other out. As a vehicle moves through these electronic dead spots, the listener may hear a momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Station swapping
When two FM stations are close to each other, and an electronic dead spot, such as static or multipath area, interrupts the original signal, sometimes the stronger second signal will be selected automatically until the original one returns. This swapping can also occur as you drive away from the selected station and approach another station of a stronger signal.
Compact disk player
To avoid damage to compact disk player and disks.fUse only compact disks labeled as shown, having no dirt, damage or warpage.
fNever attempt to disassemble or oil any part of the player unit. Do not insert any object other than a disk into the slot. Remember there are no user-serviceable parts inside the compact disk player.fDo not allow the disk to sustain any fingerprints, scrapes or stickers on the surfaces. This may cause poor sound quality.Hold the disk only on the edge or center hole.fWhen not in use, take the disk out of the player, put the disk back into its case and store it away from dust, heat, damp and direct sunlight.Leaving the disk on the dashboard in the sun can damage the disk.fIf the disk gets dirty, clean the disk by wiping the surfaces from the center to the outside in a radial direction with a soft cloth. Do not use a conventional record cleaner or anti-static record preservative. Disk cleaners are available in audio stores.
Car Telephone and Aftermarket Alarms
Important legal and safety information regarding the use of cellular telephones
Some jurisdictions may prohibit the use of cellular telephones while driving a vehicle. Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas where you drive.
Looking away from the road or turning your attention away from your driving to operate a cell phone will sooner or later cause an accident. fDo not attempt to operate a hand-held cell phone while you are driving. Safety is more important than a phone call.
fLearn to operate the hands-free phone, if it is available, before you start driving. Then make use of the hands-free phone at all times.
It is essential to observe the telephone manufacturer’s instructions before operating the telephone.
Any portable telephone or radio transmitter which is used in a Porsche must be properly installed in accordance with the technical requirements of Porsche.
The transmission power must not exceed 10 W.
The devices must possess a type approval for your vehicle and have an “e” symbol.
If you should require equipment with transmission power values greater than 10 W, please consult your authorized Porsche dealer for this purpose. They are familiar with the technical requirements for installing devices of this kind.
The antennas for all radios and telephones with a transmitting antenna must be externally mounted.
The improper installation of radios or telephones or use of a radio or telephone with a transmitting antenna inside the car may cause the warning lights to come on.
Improper installation of such equipment can create a discharged battery or excessive current draw from added equipment.
