battery PORSCHE CAYNNE 2010 1.G Owners Manual

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 maintains the vehicle properly,
– 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.
Before driving off...Check the following items firstfTurn the engine off before you attempt any
checks or repairs on the vehicle.
fBe sure the tires are inflated correctly.
Check tires for damage and tire wear.
fSee that wheel bolts are properly tightened
and not loose or missing.
fCheck engine oil level, add if necessary. Make
it a habit to have engine oil checked with every
refueling.
fCheck all fluid levels such as windshield
washer and brake fluid levels.
fBe sure the vehicle battery is well charged and
cranks the engine properly.
fCheck all doors and lids for proper operation
and latch them properly.
fCheck and if necessary replace worn or
cracked wiper blades.
fSee that all windows are clear and unobst-
ructed.
fCheck air intake slots and area between en-
gine compartment lid and windshield. Ensure
that these areas are free of snow and ice, so
the heater and the windshield wipers work
properly.fIf a child will be riding in the vehicle, check
child seat/child seat restraint system to ensure
that restraints are properly adjusted.
fCheck all exterior and interior lights for opera-
tion and that the lenses are clean.
fCheck the headlights for proper aim, and if
necessary, have them adjusted.
fCheck under the vehicle for leaks.

Opening and Locking Detection of obstacles during closing Warning!
Danger of crushing.
fDespite the presence of this detection system,
you are still responsible for keeping yourself
and others entirely out of the way of the door as it is closing.
The closing operation is interrupted if closing of
the rear lid is blocked by an obstacle.
A warning signal sounds and the rear lid opens
again by a few inches.
When the obstacle has been removed, the rear lid
can be closed by pressing one of the correspon-
ding buttons.Adjusting the opening height of the rear lid
The opening height of the rear lid can be individu-
ally adjusted so that the rear lid does not collide
with the garage ceiling, for example.
On vehicles with level control, the vehicle height
changes depending on the setting of the level con-
trol system. For this reason, always adjust the ope-
ning height with the vehicle at the highest level set-
ting so that the rear lid cannot accidentally collide
with the garage ceiling, for example.
1. Stand behind the vehicle and open the rear lid.
2. Press the button on the key to stop the
automatic opening operation at around 2/3 of
the opening height.
3. Now move the rear lid up by hand until the desi-
red opening height is reached. Make sure that
there is a sufficient minimum clearance from
any obstacle.
4. Press and hold the button in the rear lid trim pa-
nel for approx. 3 seconds.
An acknowledgement signal sounds, and the
emergency flasher lights up once.
The opening height of the rear lid has now
been programmed.
The rear lid can now be closed by briefly pres-
sing the button.
This setting cannot be deleted. If a different set-
ting is required, repeat steps 1 to 4.Malfunctions of the rear lid drive
The automatic function is not active if the battery
voltage is too low.
If a button is pressed, the rear lid lock is unlocked
and a warning signal sounds for 3 seconds. The
rear lid can now be opened by hand.
fCharge the vehicle battery.
Emergency operation of the rear lid
A warning signal sounds for approx. 3 seconds if
the automatic opening or closing operation is in-
terrupted by a fault.
fOpen or close the rear lid by hand.

be performed:
1. Unlock and open the driver’s door with the car
key.
2. Switch on the ignition so that the alarm system
will not be triggered.

open all doors irrespective of the setting made.
fPress button on the key twice within
2seconds.The vehicle cannot be unlockedThe remote control of the key may
– not function correctly due to radio waves (also
radio contact between remote control and
vehicle in the case of Porsche Entry & Drive),
– fail due to a fault,
– fail due to an exhausted battery.
fUnlock the vehicle with the unfolded key in the
key lock.
fIf you unlock the vehicle with the key at the
door lock, only the driver’s door can be
opened.
In order to prevent the alarm system from
being triggered, you must switch the ignition
on within 15 seconds of opening the door.
The vehicle cannot be lockedThis is recognizable by the fact that the
emergency flasher does not flash and there is no
locking noise.
The remote control of the key may
– not function correctly due to radio waves (also
radio contact between remote control and
vehicle in the case of Porsche Entry & Drive),
– fail due to a fault,
– fail due to an exhausted battery.
fLock the vehicle with the unfolded key at the
door lock.
If there is a defect in the central locking system,
operating the lock barrel in the driver’s door will
lock all functioning locking elements of the central
locking system.

ECON mode
Warning!
Risk of accident due to impaired vision,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
The outside air that is flowing in is not dried
in ECON mode. The windows may mist up.
fDo not switch on ECON mode in damp weather.
In ECON mode, the air-conditioning compressor is
switched off and this deactivates the cooling
function (e.g. to save fuel).
The air-conditioning compressor is always swit-
ched off at temperatures below 37.4 °F (3 °C).
Switching on ECON mode

Information on air-conditioning
compressorThe air-conditioning compressor:
– May switch off briefly to ensure sufficient
engine cooling if the engine is operating under
extreme load.
– Switches off automatically at temperatures
below approx. 37.4 °F (3 °C) and cannot be
switched on, even manually.
– Operates most effectively with windows
closed.
If the car has been in the sun for a long time,
however, it is a good idea to ventilate the
interior briefly with the windows open.
– Depending on the outside temperature and
humidity, condensation can drip from the eva-
porator and form a pool under the car.
This is normal and not a sign of leakage.
fIf uncooled air flows out when the lowest
temperature has been set (“LO”), switch off the
air-conditioning compressor and have the fault
remedied at an authorized Porsche dealer.

Panorama roof systemThe Panorama roof system of your Porsche
consists of a total of four roof elements.
Roof element 1 is the draft deflector. This
adjusts itself according to the speed, and helps
protect from the disturbing effects of the wind
when the Panorama roof system is open,
especially at high speeds or from turbulent air
flow.
Both roof elements 2 and 3 can be moved by
activating the knob in the vehicle's longitudinal
direction. Roof element 3 can also be raised.
This allows the interior to be better ventilated.
Roof element 4 is a fixed glass element and
completes the Panorama roof system.

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
