Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) fRefer to the separate operating instructions
before putting the PCM into operation.
f Please see the chapter “LOAD SWITCH-OFF
AFTER 2 HOURS OR 7 DAYS” on Page 236.
Warning!
There is a danger of accident if you set or
operate the on-board computer, radio, navi-
gation system, telephone or other equipment
when driving.
This could distract you from the traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle re-
sulting in serious personal injury or death.
f Operate the components while driving only if
the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
f Carry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
The reception conditions for the radio module
integrated in the PCM ch ange continuously as you
drive. Interference from buildings, terrain and the
weather is unavoidable.
FM stereo reception is particularly susceptible to
varying reception conditions.
Electronic accessories should only be retrofitted
by your authorized Porsche dealer. Accessories which have not been tested and
approved by Porsche may impair radio function
and reception.
NavigationWhen put into operation for the first time, a
distance of approx. 30 miles (50 km) must be
driven in order for the navigation system to
complete the process of fine calibration.
The same applies when the tires are changed (e.g.
summer/snow tires) or new tires fitted.
Full location accuracy is not yet achieved during
the fine-calibration process.
If the vehicle has been transported (e.g. ferry, car
train), the system may take a few minutes to deter-
mine the current locati
on after it has been
switched on.
Serious tire slip (e.g. spinning wheels on snow)
may result in temporaril y inaccurate navigation.
When the battery has been disconnected, it may
take up to 15 minutes before the navigation
system is operational again.
Car Audio Operation/Tips For radio operation see your radio manual
which is included with your on-board litera-
ture.
f Please see the chapter “LOAD SWITCH-OFF AF-
TER 2 HOURS OR 7 DAYS” on Page 236.
FM reception
A vehicle is not an ideal pl ace to listen to a radio.
Because the vehicle moves, reception conditions
are constantly changing.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and noise from
other vehicles are all working against good recep-
tion.
Some conditions affecting FM may appear to be
problems when they are not.
The following characteristics are completely nor-
mal for a given reception area, and they do not in-
dicate any problem with the radio itself.
Note
Electronic accessories shou ld only be installed by
your authorized Porsche dealer.
Equipment which has not been tested and ap-
proved by Porsche may impair radio reception.

System learningThe Tire Pressure Monitoring begins to “learn” the
wheels after a wheel change, wheel transmitter
replacement or update of the tire settings. During
this process, the Tire Pressure Monitoring recog-
nizes the tires and their locations.
The on-board computer displayes the message
“TPM is learning, monitoring not act.” .The Tire Pressure Monitoring requires a certain
amount of time to learn the wheels. During this
time, the current tire pressures are not available
on the on-board-computer:
– The tire pressure warning light remains lit until
all wheels have been learned.
– The display of the tire pressure function of the on-board computer shows lines.
– The required pressures for cold tires at 68 °F (20 °C) are indicated in the Info pressure
display in the tire pressure menu.
Position and pressure information is displayed as
soon as the Tire Pressure Monitoring has as-
signed the wheels identified as belonging to the
vehicle to the correct wheel positions.
The wheel learning process takes place
exclusively when the vehicle is being driven
(vehicle speed above 25 km/h (16 mph)).
f Check the tire pressure for all wheels on the
“Info pressure” display.
f Correct the tire pressure to the required
pressure if necessary.
Changing a wheel and replacing tiresfNew wheels must be fitt ed with radio transmit-
ters for the Tire Pressure Monitoring.
Before tires are changed, the battery charge
state of the wheel transmitters should be
checked at an authorized Porsche dealer.
f Switch the ignition off when changing a wheel.
The tire settings on the on-board computer must
be updated after changing a wheel.
If the tire settings are not updated, the message
“Wheel change? Input new TPM settings!” is
displayed on the on-board computer.
f Update the on-board computer settings when
the vehicle is stationary the next time.

General information regarding the
on-board computer functionsRange on remaining fuel
The range on remaining fuel is continuously recal-
culated during the journey based on the fuel level,
current consumption and average consumption.
The more the fuel level falls, the more spontan-
eously the display reacts. For this reason, the
range on remaining fuel is not displayed if less
than 9 miles (15 kilometers).
If the vehicle's inclination changes while driving or
refueling, incorrect range information may tempo-
rarily be given.
Note
If the tank is nearly empty and you top up with only
a small quantity of fuel, an accurate range on re-
maining fuel is impossible.
