Practical Tips, Emergency Service
Electrical System In order to avoid damage and faults in electrical or
electronic systems, electrical accessories should
be installed at your authorized Porsche dealer.
fOnly use accessories authorized by Porsche.
Warning!
Risk of short circuit and fire.
Replacing fuses or relays with the engine
running or the ignition on could cause elec-
trical shock.
fDisconnect the battery during all work on the
electrical system.
Please observe the chapter “BATTERY” on Page 235.
Relays Defective relays should be changed only by an
authorized workshop.
Alarm system, central locking The status of the central locking and alarm system
is not changed by disconnecting the battery.
When the battery is disconnected, the alarm sys-
tem ceases to function. Overload protection If the central locking system is operated more
than ten times within a minute, further operation is
blocked for 30 seconds.
Load switch-off after 2 hours or 7 daysIf the ignition key is removed, loads which are
switched on or are in standby mode (such as the
luggage compartment light, interior light and
radio) are automatically switched off after approx.
2hours.
If the vehicle is not started or unlocked with the
remote control within 7days, the remote control
standby function is switched off (to save the
vehicle battery).
1. In this case, unlock the driver's door with the
key at the door lock.
Leave the door closed in order to prevent the
alarm system from being triggered.
2. Press button 1 on the remote control.
The remote control is now activated again.

Practical Tips, Emergency Service
233
A - Diagnostic socket Replacing fuses In order to prevent damage to the electrical sys-
tem due to short circuits and overloads, the indi-
vidual circuits are protected by fuses.
The fuse box is located in the driver’s footwell.
A - Plastic gripper
B - Spare fuses
1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse.
2. Pull off plastic cover at the finger hole (arrow).
The fuse plan and instructions for
emergency unlocking of the luggage
compartment lid can be found on the inner
side of the cover.
3. Remove the corresponding fuse from its slot
using the plastic gripper A in order to check it.
A blown fuse can be identified by the melted
metal strip.
4. Replace only with fuses of the same rating.
Note
fIf a fuse blows repeatedly consult an author-
ized Porsche dealer.
fNever try to “repair” fuses: you may cause se-
rious damage to other parts of the electrical
system.
