Air conditioning.
As standard, both Boxster models
come with a quiet, efficient
air- conditioning system. Optional
climate control, with solar and
temperature sensors, ensures
even more consistent control
over the interior temperature.
Cruise control.
This optional automatic speed
controller for the 30 to 240 km/ h
(19–149 mph) range is operated
using a switch on a separate con -
trol stalk on the steering column.
Storage compartments.
The Boxster’s cleverly designed
storage compartments of fer
plent y of space, such as those in
the front centre console or the lockable glove compartment
(includes CD storage on vehicles
with optional sound system).

The storage box on the rear bulk -
head of fers additional loadspace
(except on vehicles with optional
BOSE® Surround Sound System)
along with space in the rear
centre console. Other practical
features include storage com -
partments in the doors, coat
hooks on the back of each seat
and t wo retractable cup holders
above the glove compartment.
Boxster | Comfort
‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
When the vehicle is opened or
locked using the key remote, the
standard automatic locator light -
ing switches on automatically.
This is particularly convenient at
night. In conjunction with the
optional PCM (p. 83) and Sport
Chrono Package Plus (p. 57), the
delayed lighting switch - of f period
can be adjusted as desired.
HomeLink® (programmable
garage door opener).
The optional programmable
garage door opener is integrated
into the overhead console and
remotely controls up to three
different garage doors, gates,
home lighting and/or alarm
systems.
Windscreen wipers.
The windscreen wipers with
an adjustable intermit tent wipe
speed are aerodynamic and
inconspicuous. The windscreen
washer system has t wo heated
and filtered nozzles. An inte -
grated rain sensor is available
as an option (in conjunction
with auto -dimming mirrors).

Water-repellent side windows.
The surfaces of the side windows
are treated with a water-repellent
coating so that not only water but
also dirt runs away more easily,
thereby providing optimum visibil-
it y even in poor weather.
ParkAssist.
As soon as reverse gear is
engaged, the optional Park Assist
is automatically enabled. If you
move too close to an obstacle, a
warning signal begins to sound,
becoming faster until the car stops.
The sensors of the optional
Park Assist are neatly concealed in
the rear bumper.
Anti-theft protection.
The Boxster models are equipped
with an immobiliser with in-
key transponder. In addition, the
Boxster S has an alarm system
with contact-sensitive exterior pro -
tection as standard. On request
,
radar-based interior surveillance
is available which protects
the interior of the vehicle when
the hood is closed. For the
Boxster, the alarm system and
radar interior surveillance are
both available as options.
Boxster | Comfort
Vehicle tracking system.
In conjunction with the alarm
system, this optional preparation
enables future installation of a
vehicle tracking system available
from Porsche Tequipment. It
makes it possible to locate a
stolen vehicle across most of the
countries of Europe. The package
includes a special wiring loom
and a higher-capacit y bat tery.
A tilt sensor is included.
Two luggage compartments.
Two carpet-lined luggage compart -
ments are available. The front
loadspace capacit y is 150 litres,
with 130 litres at the rear –
even when the hood is lowered.
At the front there's enough room
for the large trolley from the
Porsche Travel System, while
the rear can accommodate the
Porsche golf bag. The luggage
compartment covers are made
of light weight aluminium.
A service hatch located in the
rear luggage compartment

enables easy refilling of coolant
and engine oil.

Hood.
The Boxster hood system is per-
fectly matched to the dynamic
exterior design. It opens in just
12 seconds and can even be
operated while the car is in motion
at speeds of up to 50 km/ h
(approx. 30 mph). The glass rear
screen is heated and scratch-
resistant. The Boxster models
ensure unrestricted driving
pleasure - and not only when the
sun is shining.
A concertina action protects the
interior rooflining when the hood
is folded away. The hood itself is
made from a fade - resistant robust

fabric which is specially pro -
tected against ultraviolet light.
The hood structure is very light
and stores compactly for a low
vehicle centre of gravit y with
no loss of storage space. The
interior is lined with a st ylish and
practical heat-insulating fabric
that also reduces exterior noise.
Hardtop.
The optional hardtop is elegantly
st yled to match the exterior of
the Boxster models. It is made of
robust aluminium and weighs
just 23 kg. The integral glass rear
window is, of course, heated.
Wind deflector.
On request, a three-piece wind
deflector is available which
reduces turbulence in the head
and shoulder area. It is easily
Boxster | Comfort
installed on the rear roll-over
bars. The wind deflector is
available in combination with

the storage box on the rear
bulkhead panel or with the BOSE®
Surround Sound System.

In an era of intensif ying debate
about CO
2 emissions, every auto -
motive manufacturer is asking
itself what it has to of fer in terms
of environmental protection. Our
answer has long been the same:
maximum efficiency.
Over the last 15 years, Porsche
has been reducing the CO
2 emis -
sions of its vehicles annually by
an average of 1.7 %. In relation to
power output (g / km per hp), Porsche is already among those
manufacturers achieving the

lowest CO
2 emissions. This has
been achieved through the new
efficient drive concept (DFI), light-
weight construction, optimum
aerodynamics and low rolling
resistance.
This high level of environmental
responsibilit y is clearly demon -
st rated by our approach to env iron -
mental management at the
Our contribution to a cleaner environment:
pure engineering.
Porsche development centre in
Weissach. Here, all technological
developments are carried out
with environmental protection in
mind. The goal? Pure perform -
ance – but not at the expense of
the environment. A goal achieved
by the Boxster models.
Exhaust emission control.
Both engines comply with strin -
gent emission standards, including
Euro 5 in Europe and LEV II / ULEV
in the USA. Vehicles manufactured

by Porsche demonstrate that
even high-performance sportscars
can achieve very low emission
values in their respective category.
In short, the Boxster is not only
extremely sport y, it is also very
clean.
This is achieved by means of a
t wo -stage cascade-t ype cataly tic
converter which comprises t wo
monolith substrates on each of the
t win exhaust tracts. These spe -
cially coated substrates contain
ultra-fine honeycomb channels
in which pollutants are converted
as exhaust gas passes through.
The stereo lambda control cir -
cuitry controls and monitors each
cylinder bank separately, while
another lambda sensor on each
cylinder bank monitors pollutant
conversion in the respective cata -
ly tic converter (p. 38).*
Boxster | Environment
Fuel economy and recycling.
At Porsche, a fundamental aspect
of design is intelligent light weight
construction. For both economical

and ecological reasons. This
forms the basis for low fuel con -
sumption values in conjunction
with out-standing performance.
It is economical thanks to the
high proportion of aluminium cast
alloys, plastics and super high-
strength sheet steel used. This is
substantially lighter and more
stable than conventional steel.

Boxster | Environment
Boxster S
In the Boxster models approxi -
mately 20 % of components are
made from light weight alloys.
We use only innovative and envi -
ronmentally friendly components,
and each material is labelled
to facilitate its separation for
recycling. Recycled plastics are
used where they meet exacting
technical requirements. In all,
the Boxster models are approxi -
mately 95 % recyclable.

In addition, Porsche uses only
environmentally friendly water-
based paints. The Boxster models
are absolutely free of asbestos,
CFCs and components manufac -
t
ured using CFCs. This is because,
here at Porsche, environmental
protection does not begin at the
end of a vehicle’s life. It starts
at the planning and development
stage.
Fuel.
Both Boxster models are already
designed to operate on fuels
with an ethanol content of up to
10 %. Ethanol has a positive
impact on the CO2 balance since
the plants cultivated for the
production of this biofuel also
absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.

The release of hydrocarbons
from the fuel system has been
minimised thanks to the active
carbon filter and a special coating
on the fuel tank. All fuel lines
are made of aluminium and multi-
layered plastic.
.
Noise.
The Boxster models comply
with all applicable noise regula -
tions without any form of engine
encapsulation. To achieve this,
noises are eliminated at source.
Engine parts are stif f, moving
parts are light weight and toler-
ances are kept to a minimum.
Large-volume silencers and reso -
nators in the air intake system
minimise noise further. For the
entire service life of the vehicle.
Maintenance.
Long service intervals offer
clear advantages. For you: lower
costs and saved time. For the
environment: the use of fewer
consuables and replacement
parts. For full details of service
intervals, please refer to the
separate price list.
