Never invite car theft! An unlocked car with the key in the ignition lock in-
vites car theft. 
A steering wheel lock and a gong alarm are stan-
dard equipment in your Porsche. 
The gong alarm will sound if you open the driver’s 
door while the key is still in the ignition lock. It is 
your reminder to pull the key out of the ignition 
lock and to lock the doors. 
 Warning!
Any uncontrolled movement of the vehicle 
may result in serious personal injury and pro-
perty damage.
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the 
key in the ignition lock, especially if children 
and/or pets are left unattended in the vehic-
le. They can operate power windows and 
other controls. If the engine is left running, 
they may accidentally engage the shift lever. 
fAlways remove the ignition key. 
fAlways set the parking brake. 
fLock the doors with the key or with the remote control. 
 Warning!
Risk of a serious accident. 
The steering column will lock when you re-
move the key while you are driving or as the 
car is rolling to a stop. You will not be able to 
steer the car. 
fNever remove the key from the steering lock while you are driving. To protect your vehicle and your possessions 
from theft, you should always proceed as fol-
lows when leaving your vehicle:
