4Dear Porsche OwnerA lot has gone into the manufacture of your
Porsche, including advanced engineering, rigid
quality control and demanding inspections. These
engineering and safety features will be enhanced
by you...the safe driver...– who knows her/his car and all controls,

– who uses driving skills wisely and always
drives within her/his own capabilities and the
level of familiarity with the vehicle.
You will find helpful hints in this manual on how to
perform most of the checks listed on the following
pages. If in doubt, have these checks performed
by your authorized Porsche dealer.

checks or repairs on the vehicle.
fBe sure the tires are inflated correctly.

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If the ignition key is withdrawn and the door is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

Automatic Headlight Beam
AdjustmentVehicles with Bi-Xenon headlights feature
automatic headlight beam adjustment.

constant during acceleration and braking.
Checking operation

2. Switch ignition on.
The light beam first dips all the way down and
is then adapted to the vehicle load. It this test
item is not met, the headlight beam adjustment
system must be checked by an authorized
