8Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB)The high-performance brake system is designed
for optimal braking effect at all speeds and tempe-
ratures.
Certain speeds, braking forces and ambient
conditions (such as temperature and humidity)
therefore might cause brake noises.
Wear on the diffrent components and braking sys-
tem, such as brake pads and brake discs, de-
pends to a great extent on the individual driving
style and the conditions of use and therefore can-
not be expressed in actual miles on the road.
The values communicated by Porsche are based
on normal operation adapted to traffic. Wear incre-
ases considerably when the vehicle is driven on
race tracks or through an aggressive driving style.
fPlease consult an authorized Porsche dealer
about the current guidelines in effect before
such use of your vehicle.
Setting and operation vehicle
components when driving
Warning!
There is a danger of an accident if you ope-
rate or set the on-board computer, radio, na-
vigation system, telephone or other equip-
ment when driving.
This could distract you from the traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle resul-
ting in serious personal injury or death.
fOperate the equipment while driving only if the
traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
Portable Fuel Containers
Danger!
Portable fuel containers, full or partially em-
pty, may leak, causing an explosion, or result
in fire in case of an accident.
fNever carry additional fuel in portable contai-ners in your vehicle.
Engine Exhaust
Danger!
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled.
Engine exhaust fumes have many compon-
ents which you can smell. They also contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless
and odorless gas.
Carbon monoxide can cause unconscious-
ness and even death if inhaled.
fNever start or let the engine run in an enc-
losed, unventilated area.
It is not recommended to sit in your car for pro-
longed periods with the engine on and the car not moving.
Ground ClearancePlease bear in mind the limited clearance of your
car on uneven surfaces, when parking (curbs), on
ramps, lifting platforms, etc.

Parking Aids Parking Assistant (ParkAssistant) When the driver backs up, the parking assistant
system indicates the distance between the car
and a large obstacle behind it, by means of signal
tones.
Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death.
ParkAssistant cannot detect small objects
such as children and pets.
Despite use of the parking assistant system,
the driver is still responsible for taking due
care and assessing obstacles when backing
up.
fMake sure that no persons, especially small
children, animals or obstacles are within the maneuvring area.
The parking assistant system is activated auto-
matically when reverse gear is selected and the ig-
nition is on.
Note
Be aware that the parking assistant system is not
switched on if the car rolls backward without re-
verse gear being engaged.
Ultrasound sensors Sensors
Four ultrasound sensors in the rear bumper
measure the distance to the closest obstacle.
– Range middle sensors around 60 in./150 cm
– Range outer sensors around 24 in./60 cm
Obstacles cannot be detected in the “blind” sen-
sor area (e.g. near the ground).
Note
The sensors must always be kept free of dust, ice
and snow in order to ensure that they are fully
functional.
Caution!
To avoid damaging the sensors:
fMaintain sufficient distance when cleaning with steam-jet units.
Signal tones/function
When reverse gear is selected, the parking assis-
tant confirms that it is switched on by issuing a
short signal tone.
A detected obstacle is signalled by an intermit-
tent tone. The intervals decrease as the obstacle
is approached.
A continuous tone sounds when the distance be-
comes less than one foot. This continuous tone
c a n s t o p i f t h e o b s t a c l e i s a p p ro a c h e d c l o s e r t h a n
one foot.
The radio volume should not be so loud as to
drown out the signal tones.
