Information
If the ignition key is removed and the door is opened while the lights are on, an audible signal (gong) warns of possible battery discharge.– In some countries, differences are possible due to legal requirements.
The vehicle’s exterior lights can mist up due to temperature and humidity. This misting will dry off after a sufficient distance has been driven.
Low beam/driving light
If the light switch is set to the position , the low beam is switched on automatically in the following situations:– Dusk– Darkness– Driving through tunnels– Rain– Highway driving (on vehicles with Porsche Dynamic Light System PDLS)
When the low beam is switched on, the indicator light on the speedometer lights up.
Information
Fog is not automatically recognized.fIn the event of fog, the driving light must be switched on manually.
Daytime driving lights
If the light switch is set to position (light off), the daytime driving lights come on automatically when the ignition is switched on.
If the light switch is set to position , the daytime driving lights come on automatically in bright conditions and when the ignition is switched on.
The daytime driving lights are not active when the light switch is set to position (low beam/driving light).
Automatic driving light assistant
The automatic driving light assistant is a comfort function. The driving light (low beam) is switched on and off automatically depending on the ambient brightness.
The automatic driving light assistant also controls the daytime driving lights, low beam, Automatic Coming Home lights and the equipment-dependent dynamic cornering light.
The automatic driving light assistant is activated when the light switch is set to the position .
Despite possible support by the driving light assistant, it is the responsibility of the driver to switch on the driving light using the conventional light switch in accordance with the relevant national regulations.
Activating the headlights using the driving light assistant therefore does not absolve the driver of responsibility for correct operation of the driving light.
