Operation, Safety
Front luggage compartment Trunk Entrapment Your vehicle is equipped with an internal front trunk
release mechanism.
A person trapped in the front luggage compart-
ment can release the lid from the inside using
unlocking handle A.
The handle A is fluorescent and glows in the dark. Note
f
When loading the luggage compartment, make
sure that items of luggage or other objects
cannot become caught on handle A.
This could cause the luggage compartment to
open unintentionally.
A warning message in the on-board computer
lights up when unlocking handle A is operated.
f Stop the vehicle immediately when the warning
message lights up.
f Check the luggage compartment.
f Close the lid.
Function with vehicle stationary If the luggage compartm ent lid is unlocked with
unlocking handle A, the lid can be opened from the
inside immediately. Function with vehicle in motion If the luggage compartm ent lid is unlocked with
unlocking handle A when a speed of 2
mph
(3 km/h ) is exceeded, the warning message in the
on-board computer lights up.
At the same time, the lid is unlocked and the latch
striker pops into the catch-hook position.
Danger!
Risk of accident.
If the warning message in the on-board com-
puter lights up when th e vehicle is in motion,
the lid may impact in front of the windshield
and can tear off.
You can lose control of the vehicle, and
serious personal injury or death may result.
f Stop the vehicle immediately when the warning
message lights up.
f Check the luggage compartment.
fClose the lid.
Note
f The front lid cannot be op ened from the inside
if the battery is disconnected or empty.
Safety reasons therefore require that you
unscrew the latch striker of the front lid
lock if you plan to put the vehicle out of
operation for an extended period.
f Please consult your authorized Porsche
dealer.
They will advise you about the necessary
measures.
