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 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.

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.
Radiator fan
The fan can start running depending on the temperature, even with the engine switched off.fExercise extreme care that parts of the body, articles of clothing or jewelry do not get caught in the radiator fan. fExercise extreme caution when working in the area of the radiator fans.
