Diagnostic Socket
External equipment or devices (e.g. navigation units, head-up displays, etc.) connected to the diagnostic socket can impair the function of the vehicle systems.fDo not connect any equipment or devices to the diagnostic socket.
Loose equipment/devices or hanging cables in the driver's footwell can obstruct clearance around the pedals or become caught between the pedals when braking or changing direction.fDo not place any equipment/devices or cables in the driver's footwell.
The diagnostic socket is for connecting diagnostic equipment in qualified specialist workshops.
Operating external equipment or devices (e.g. navigation units, head-up displays, etc.) from the diagnostic socket when the ignition is switched off will run down the battery. If the vehicle is parked for an extended period, the battery can discharge fully and be damaged (exhaustive discharge).fDo not connect any equipment or devices to the diagnostic socket.
Ignition Lock
The ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock to the right of the light switch at the left of the steering wheel.
On vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive, you no longer have to insert the key into the ignition lock, but merely keep it with you. The ignition key is replaced by a control unit in the ignition lock, which always remains in the ignition lock, unless the vehicle is being towed.
The ignition lock has three key positions.
Key positions 0 - Initial position 1 - Ignition on 2 - Start engine
Information
The vehicle battery discharges if the ignition key is left inserted.
If the vehicle battery is dead, the key can only be removed from the ignition lock if the emergency operation is performed: fPlease see the chapter “EMERGENCY OPERATION – UNLOCKING THE IGNITION KEY/CONTROL UNIT” on page 28.

The starting process is carried out and completed automatically as soon as ignition lock position 2 (start engine) is reached. The ignition key or control unit is reset automatically to ignition lock position 1 (ignition on).fDo not operate the starter for more than approx. 10 seconds. If necessary, repeat the starting procedure after a pause of approx. 10 seconds. Turn the ignition key back to ignition lock position 0 (initial position) first. The first operation of the starter is ended automatically when the engine starts.If the engine does not start, subsequent starter operations will not be ended automatically.fDo not warm up the engine when stationary. Drive off immediately. Avoid high revs and full throttle until the engine has reached operating temperature.
fIf the vehicle battery power is too weak, the engine can be started with jump leads.
For information on jump-lead starting: fPlease see the chapter “EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY, EMERGENCY STARTING WITH JUMPER CABLES” on page 273.
Information
To ensure a good battery charge condition, thereby ensuring that the battery will start the engine, all electrical loads that are not required should be switched off when the ignition is switched on and when engine revs are low (in traffic jams, in city traffic or in lines).
Stopping
fOnly remove the ignition key when the vehicle is stationary.fOnly switch the ignition off when the vehicle is stationary, as there is no power steering and brake booster assistance when the engine is switched off.fWhen leaving the vehicle, always remove the ignition key, apply the electric parking brake and engage selector-lever position P. The control unit always remains in the ignition lock on vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive.
Engine components become very hot when the engine is running.fBefore working on any part in the engine compartment, turn the engine off and let it cool down sufficiently.
The exhaust pipe is hot when the engine is running and remains hot for some time after the vehicle is turned off. fTo prevent injury, make a point of noting where your vehicle’s exhaust pipe is, avoid placing your legs near the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading cargo in the rear, and closely supervise children around the vehicle during time when the exhaust pipe could be hot. A hot exhaust pipe can cause painful skin burns.

Exceptions for the Auto Start Stop function
The Auto Start Stop function is deactivated e.g.: – When Sport mode is activated.– When PSM is off.– In maneuvering mode.– When A/C MAX mode is activated.– When the “Windshield defrost” function is active. – At altitudes above approx. 9,843 ft. (3,000 meters)
For information on switching on and off the Auto Start Stop function:fPlease see the chapter “SWITCHING AUTO START STOP FUNCTION AND COASTING MODE ON AND OFF” on page 150.
The Auto Start Stop function is available with limited functionality in the following situations, e.g.:– If the air conditioning or passenger compartment heating is operated at a high setting or if the defrost function is run for long time periods.– If the battery charging condition is low.– On upward or downward slopes.– During internal vehicle test procedures, e.g. automatic engine checks.
Information
If one of these situations arises after the engine has stopped automatically, the engine can be restarted automatically.
Reaction after leaving the vehicle (selector-lever position D or N selected)
If the vehicle is left after an automatic stop when PDK selector-lever position D or N is engaged, an automatic engine start is executed to remind the driver that the Auto Start Stop function is still active.
In selector-lever position D, the electric parking brake is additionally engaged.
The brake warning light on the instrument panel and the indicator light on the switch light up.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Reaction after leaving the vehicle (selector-lever position P selected)
