In vehicles with seat memory the stored seat and
door mirror positions are automatically set.
The vehicle will be locked again approx. 15 sec-
onds after the luggage compartment is closed if
none of the doors was opened.
Note
Your authorized Porsche dealer can program fur-
ther types of unlocking.

The relocking time of the doors can be adjusted to
suit your individual requirements (4 - 120 sec-
onds).
Ty p e 2
The doors stay locked when the luggage compart-
ments are unlocked.
Malfunction of the remote controlThe remote control may not function correctly due
to local radio wave interference. The vehicle will
then not lock properly.
This can be identified by the missing locking
sound and the missing check-back signal of the
hazard warning lights.
If this should occur:
fLock the vehicle with the key in the door.The remote-control standby function
switches off after 7 days If the vehicle is not started or unlocked with the re-
mote control within five days, the remote control
standby function is switched off (to prevent dis-
charging of the car 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.

Part 15 of the FCC Rules
RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two condi-
tions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and this device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.Note
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio

Seat Adjustment
Warning!
The seat may move unexpectedly if you
attempt to adjust while driving. This could
cause sudden loss of control or personal in-
jury.
fDo not adjust seats while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
The backrest locks must be engaged at all
times while the vehicle is in motion.
Safety belts only offer protection when the
backrest is upright and the belts are properly
positioned on the body.
Improperly positioned safety belts or safety
belts worn by passengers in an excessively
reclined position can cause serious personal
injury in an accident.
fDo not operate the car with the driver or pas-
senger backrests excessively reclined (see “Seat position”).
Seat position An ergonomically correct sitting position is
important for safe and fatigue-free driving.
We recommend the following procedure for adjust-
ing the driver’s seat to suit individual
requirements:
1. Vehicles with manual transmission:
Adjust the seat until, with the clutch pedal fully
depressed, your leg remains at a slight angle.
Vehicles with Tiptronic S:
Adjust the seat until, with your left foot on the
footrest, your left leg remains at a slight angle.2. Rest your outstretched arm on the steering
wheel.
Set the backrest angle and the steering-wheel
position so that your wrist rests on the outer
rim of the steering wheel. At the same time,
the shoulders must still be in noticeable
contact with the backrest.
3. Adjust the seat height to give yourself enough
headroom and a good overview of the vehicle.
4. Electrically adjustable seat:
Adjust the seat angle until your thighs rest
lightly on the seat cushion.
