Setting and operating vehicle compon-
ents when driving
Warning!
There is a danger of accident if you set or
operate the on-board computer, radio,
navigation system, telephone or other equip-
ment when driving.
This could distract you from the traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle resul-
ting in serious personal injury or death.
fOperate the components while driving only if
the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
Engine Exhaust
Danger!
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled.
Engine exhaust fumes have many compo-
nents which you can smell. They also contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless
and odorless gas.
Carbon monoxide can cause unconscious-
ness and even death if inhaled.
fNever start or let the engine run in an en-
closed, unventilated area.
It is not recommended to sit in your car for
prolonged periods with the engine on and the car not moving.

Airbag SystemsThe airbags in combination with the safety belts
make up a safety system which offers the driver
and the passenger the greatest known protection
from injuries in case of accident.
Your vehicle is equipped with weight sensing for
the passenger's seat in accordance with
U.S. Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 208.
Even if your vehicle is equipped with airbags, the
safety belts must be worn at all times,
because the front airbag system is only actuated
by frontal collisions with an impact of sufficient se-
verity.
Below the deployment threshold of the airbag
system, and during types of collisions which do
not cause the actuation of the system, the safety
belts provide the primary protection to the
occupants when correctly worn. Therefore, all
persons within the vehicle must wear safety
belts at all times (in many states, state law
requires the use of safety belts).
fPlease see the chapter “SAFETY BELTS” on
Page 42.
The front airbags are located under the padded
steering wheel panel on the driver’s side and, on
the passenger's side, in the dashboard.
The side airbags for the front seats are installed
on the side in the seat backrests.
The head airbags are installed above the doors
in the roof area.
Danger!
To provide optimal occupant protection, air-
bags must inflate at very high speed. If you
are not wearing your safety belt or are too
close to the airbag when it is deployed, infla-
ting airbags can result in serious personal in-
jury or death.
Improper handling of weight sensing can
unintentionally impair switching the
passenger's airbag off and on.
fMake sure there are no people, animals or ob-
jects between the driver or passenger and the
area into which the airbag inflates.
fSit back as far from the dashboard or steering
wheel as is practical, while still maintaining full
vehicle control.
fAlways hold the steering wheel by the outer
rim. Never rest your hands on the airbag panel.
fAlways fasten seat belts because triggering
of the airbag system depends on the force and
angle of impact.
fDo not transport heavy objects on or in front of
the passenger seat. These could impair the
function of the airbag, the seat belts, and
weight sensing.
fDo not hang objects (e.g., jackets, coats, coat
hangers) over the backrest.fAlways keep the lid of the door storage com-
partment closed. Objects must not protrude
out of the door storage compartment.
The storage compartment must be closed
while driving.
fNo changes must be made to the wiring or
components of the airbag system.
fDo not add any additional coverings or stickers
to the steering wheel or in the area of the
passenger airbag, side airbags and head
airbags. Doing so may adversely affect the
functioning of the airbag system or cause
harm to the occupants if the airbag system
should deploy.
Do not use protective seat covers.
fDo not modify the seat coverings. Do not
attach additional cushions, protective
coverings, or pillows to the passenger's seat.
Do not affix things to the passenger's seat or
cover it with other materials. Do not cover the
back of the backrest. Do not make changes to
the passenger's seat and to the seat base
frame.
fDo not undertake any wiring for electrical ac-
cessory equipment in the vicinity of the airbag
wiring harnesses. Doing so may disable the
airbag system or cause inadvertent inflation.
fIf the warning light comes on, the airbag
system should be repaired immediately by
your authorized Porsche dealer.

Correct tire pressure.
Functional description of Tire Pressure
MonitoringTire Pressure Monitoring continuously monitors
tire pressure and tire temperature on all four
wheels and warns the driver when the tire
pressure is too low.The display as well as the settings for Tire
Pressure Monitoring take place on the multi-
purpose display in the sub-menu
TYRE PRESSURE.
However, the tire pressure must still be set
manually on the wheel.
The deviations in the tire pressures from the
required pressures are shown in the sub-menu
TYRE PRESSURE.
Example:
If the tire pressure display shows “–4 psi
(–0.3 bar)”, you must increase the tire pressure by
4 psi (0.3 bar).
The tire pressures to be monitored are fixed in the
Tire Pressure Monitoring system and cannot be
changed.
The following settings must be made to permit
correct monitoring.
–Tires
Select the type and size of the tires fitted on
the vehicle.
–Load
Select the type of loading.
Note on operation
Settings can be made only when the vehicle is
stationary.
fFor information on tires and wheels:
Please see the chapter “TIRES/WHEELS” on
Page 281.
Warning!
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPM
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system
is not operating properly.
The TPM malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.
TPM malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPM from functioning properly.
Always check the TPM malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPM to continue to
function properly.Warning light

Note on operation
The reminder SPARE WHEEL/SEALING SET
OPERATION? goes out automatically after approx.
10 seconds if no selection is made during this
time. The original selection “YES” is then
maintained.In the event of faults, Tire Pressure Monitoring
cannot monitor the tire pressure. A distinction is
made between partial monitoring and inactive
system.
In the case of partial monitoring, the tire pressure
warning light on the speedometer flashes about
60 seconds and lights up thereafter permanently.
No message is output on the multi-purpose
display.
If Tire Pressure Monitoring is not active, the tire
pressure warning light on the speedometer
flashes about 60 seconds and lights up thereafter
permanently. A corresponding message is output
on the multi-purpose display.
The warning light goes out as soon as all faults
have been remedied.
Tire Pressure Monitoring switches to partial
monitoring if:
– there are up to two wheel transmitters not
present or faulty (e.g. a spare wheel or collap-
sible spare wheel is fitted that does not have a
wheel transmitter).
In the event of partial monitoring, the value “_” is
displayed in the sub-menu TYRE PRESSURE (filling
information) at the position of the faulty or missing
wheel transmitter.
Tire Pressure Monitoring is not active in the
following cases:
– Tire Pressure Monitoring is faulty,– at least three wheel transmitters for Tire
Pressure Monitoring are faulty or not present,
– temporarily after changing a wheel,
– too many wheel transmitters have been
detected,
– there is external interference by other radio
sources, e.g. wireless headphones,
– tire temperatures are too high.

purpose display:
Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on Page 149.
Notes on tire pressurePressure increase as the result of tempera-
ture increase
In accordance with physical principles, the tire
pressure changes as the temperature changes.
The tire pressure increases or decreases by
around 1.5 psi (0.1 bar) for every 18 °F (10 °C)
change in temperature.
Tire pressure specifications
The tire pressure must match the prescribed value
(required pressure).
You can find information on the tire pressure for
cold tires 68 °F (20 °C):

Driving and Driving Safety New brake pads or linings
New brake pads have to be “broken in”, and there-
fore only attain optimal friction when the car has
covered several hundred miles or km.
The slightly reduced braking ability must be com-
pensated for by pressing the brake pedal harder.
This also applies whenever the brake pads and
brake discs are replaced.
Warning!
fDo not obstruct the pedal travel with floor mats
or other objects.
The brake booster is ready for operation only
while the engine is running.
If the engine is switched off or there is a defect in
the brake booster, much greater force has to be
applied to the pedal when braking.
fPlease see the chapter “TOWING” on
Page 342.
In heavy rain, while driving through water or after
leaving a car wash, the braking action may be
delayed and increased pressure may be required.
fFor this reason, keep further back from the ve-
hicle in front and “dry” the brakes by applying
them at intervals. Make sure that following traf-
fic is not affected.
After a long drive over salted or sanded roads, a
coating may form on the brake discs and pads
that significantly reduces friction and thus braking
action.fEven though the brake discs consist of alloyed
grey cast iron, they will unavoidably start to
corrode if your car is parked for an extended
period. The brakes will tend to “rub” as a
result.
The nature, extent and effects of corrosion
depend on the amount of time the vehicle was
parked, whether road salt or grit was spread
and whether grease-dissolving agents were
used in car washes (not on vehicles with
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake).
To prevent corrosion of the brake discs, “brake
them dry” before parking the car (not on
vehicles with Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake).
If the braking comfort is noticeably impaired,
we recommend having the brake system
checked by experts at an authorized Porsche
dealer.
fTo relieve the braking system on downhill
stretches, change down to a lower gear in
enough time to obtain engine braking.
If engine braking is insufficient on steep
stretches, operate the footbrake at intervals.
Continuous braking overheats the brakes and
reduces the braking effect.
fPlease see the chapter “BRAKE-FLUID LEVEL”
on Page 257.

Driving and Driving Safety
DeceleratingOption 1
fPush operating lever down into position 4 until
the desired speed is reached.
The speed reached is maintained and stored
when the operating lever is released.
Option 2
fPush operating lever slightly downwards into
position 4 (a maximum of 10 times).
The speed is reduced by 1 mph (2 km/h), each
time the lever is pushed downwards.
Interrupting cruise control operationThe speed driven before the interruption remains
stored in the memory and can be reactivated by
operating the operating lever. Please see the
chapter “RESUMING THE STORED SPEED” on
Page 168.
fPush the operating lever forward to position 2
(it doesn’t engage) or
fOperate brake or clutch pedal or, on vehicles
with Tiptronic S, select position N.
fPlease see the chapter “TIPTRONIC S” on
Page 170.
Cruise control operation is interrupted
automatically:
– If the set vehicle speed is exceeded by more
than approx. 16 mph (25 km/h) for longer than
20 seconds.
– If the actual vehicle speed falls by approx.
6 mph (10 km/h) below the set vehicle speed
for longer than 5 seconds (e.g. upward
slopes).
– If Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
intervenes for longer than 0.2 seconds.
– If Low Range is switched on.
Resuming the stored speedfPull back the operating lever to position 1.
Note on operation
The stored speed should only be recalled when
traffic conditions and the road surface so permit.Switching cruise control readiness offfPush forward the operating lever to position 2
until it clicks audibly into place.
The memory is cleared and the green
readiness light goes out.
When the vehicle is parked and the ignition
switched off, the memory is cleared.
Tip on driving
On upward or downward slopes, the set speed
cannot always be maintained by cruise control.
fTo obtain sufficient engine braking or a better
engine-speed range, therefore, you have to
change down to a lower gear.
