Note on operation
If the ignition key is withdrawn and the door is 
opened while the lights (not the parking light) are 
on, an acoustic signal (gong) warns of possible 
battery discharge.
In some countries, differences are possible 
due to provisions of law.Automatic driving light assistantThe driving light assistant is a comfort function. 
Your Porsche’s driving light (low beam) is switched 
on and off automatically, irrespective of the 
ambient brightness.  
Despite possible support by the driving light assis-
tant, it is the responsibility of the driver to switch 
on the driving light using the conventional light 
switch in accordance with the relevant national 
regulations.
Activating the headlights using the driving light 
assistant does not therefore absolve the driver of 
responsibility for the correct operation of the 
driving light.
The low beam is switched on automatically in the 
following situations:
–Dusk
– Darkness
– Travelling through tunnels
– Rain (in conjunction with the rain sensor)
– Highway driving
