Storing end position of the roll-up sunblind
The end positions of the sunblind are lost after disconnecting/connecting the vehicle battery,
if the vehicle battery is exhausted or after jump lead starting, after emergency operation or after changing the fuse for the sunblind.
The sunblind closes with its full closing force when storing the end position.fEnsure that nobody is injured when closing the sunblind.
To store the end position for the sunblind, the vehicle must be stationary and the end position for the roof must already be stored.1. Switch on ignition. 2. Press and hold button A in the first setting until the sunblind closes and stops in the closed position.The process for storing the end position begins after approximately 10 seconds. The sunblind now opens and closes once automatically. Storage is now complete.If this process is not executed, please perform the following procedure:Press and hold button A in the first setting until the sunblind closes fully and stops. If necessary, repeat the closing operation until the sunblind has stopped moving completely.The process takes a maximum of 15 seconds.Start the storing process again if the button is released before the sunblind has stopped moving completely.
Cleaning the air deflector
Cleaning the air deflector with the roof open.
1. Switch on the ignition and open the roof fully with button B. If the air deflector is not fully extended, drive the vehicle for a short distance with the roof open until it is fully extended.2. Clean the air deflector and net using a damp sponge.
Convertible Top
Brief operating instructions can be found on the back of the driver’s sun visor.fPlease see the chapter “CAR CARE INSTRUCTIONS” on page 231.
Risk of damage to convertible top and convertible- top mechanism.fDo not operate convertible top:– At temperatures below 20 °F (0 °C).– When one side of the vehicle is on a curb, a lifting platform or a jack.– When items of luggage or other objects hinder the movement of the convertible top.– With the roll-over bars extended.fAvoid frequent operation of the convertible top with the engine off; the vehicle battery will rapidly discharge.fOnly drive with the convertible top fully open or closed (end positions).fBefore opening the convertible top, ensure that there are no objects in the area behind the rear seats.fWhen opening or closing the convertible top, ensure that there is sufficient clearance above it (e.g. in the garage).fTo prevent damp stains and abrasion damage, open the convertible top only when it is in a dry, clean state.fPark the vehicle in the shade if possible, since continuous exposure to the sun attacks textiles, rubber and colors.fThe convertible top may only be operated when driving on a level surface.fThe convertible top must not be operated in a strong head wind (above approx. 50 mph (80 km/h)).

150 Driving and Driving Safety
Information
The engine will start automatically in certain situations, e.g. if the vehicle starts rolling, if air conditioning causes reduced comfort, or if the brake vacuum is reduced.The engine is stopped again automatically if the preconditions for stopping the engine automatically are then met again.
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.

200 Storage, Luggage Compartment and Roof Transport System
Roof Transport System
A roof transport system can be fitted on the vehicle for transporting various sports and hobby equipment.
Various objects can be transported safely and securely using the roof transport system and additional attachments, e.g. ski rack, bicycle rack, surfboard rack, roof box or snowboard holder.fOnly use roof transport systems that have been tested and approved by Porsche. It is not possible to fit commercially available roof rack systems.
fInstall individual load-carrying devices, such as ski rack or roof box as centrally as possible with respect to the supports.fDo not exceed the permissible roof load, permissible gross weight and permissible axle loads.Details of these weights and loads can be found under “Technical data” in this Owner’s Manual:Please see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on page 288.fDistribute load evenly, with heavy items as low as possible. Items of luggage must not project beyond the side of the load area.fFix and secure every item to the basic carrier with a rope or lashing strap (do not use elastic rubber tensioners).fBefore every trip, and at regular intervals during long trips, check that the Roof Transport System and load are secure. Re-tighten if necessary and secure further by locking. Tighten all fastening screws again.
When the Roof Transport System is loaded, the maximum speeds depends on the nature, size and weight of the load being carried.fDriving, braking and steering behavior change due to the higher center of gravity and the greater wind resistance. You should adapt your driving style accordingly.Nevertheless, Porsche recommends that you do not exceed the posted speed limit.fNever drive faster than 80 mph (130 km/h) when the Roof Transport System is fitted and loaded.fWith the basic carrier fitted and no load, do not exceed a maximum speed of 110 mph (180 km/h).
Washing the vehicle in a car wash or failure to observe the overall vehicle height or the maximum permitted gross weight can damage the vehicle or roof transport system.fRemove the complete roof transport system before washing the vehicle in a car wash.fCheck the overall vehicle height with the roof transport system fitted before driving into multi-storey car parks, garages, underground garages and tunnels.fDo not exceed the permissible roof load, permissible gross weight and permissible axle loads.Details of these weights and loads can be found under “Technical data” in this Owner’s Manual:Please see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on page 288.
