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.

Maintenance Notes
The belt tensioner system can be triggered only
once; the system must be replaced afterwards.
If there is a fault in the belt tensioner system, the
airbag warning light lights up.
Work may be performed on the belt tensioner
system only by an authorized Porsche dealer.
Smoke is released when the belt tensioners are
triggered.
This does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
An audio-visual warning system is interconnec-
ted with the driver’s safety belt.
Every time the ignition is turned on, the gong will
sound for about 6 seconds to remind driver and
passenger to buckle up.
In addition, the gong will sound for approx.
90 seconds if vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph/
24 km/h.
The safety belt warning lights in the instrument pa-
nel and multi-purpose display will go off as soon as
the driver has buckled up.
Fastening the safety beltfAssume a comfortable sitting position.
Adjust the backrest of the front seat so that the
belt always rests on your upper body and runs
across the middle of your shoulder.
fGrasp the belt tongue and pull the belt in a
slow, continuous motion across your chest and
lap.Note on operation
The belt can be blocked if the vehicle is standing
at an angle or if the belt is pulled out using a
jerking movement.
fThe belt cannot be pulled out while accelera-
ting and slowing down, when cornering and
when driving uphill.
fInsert the belt tongue into the appropriate
buckle on the inboard side of the seat, until it
locks securely with an audible click.
fMake sure that belts are not trapped or twis-
ted, and that they are not rubbing on sharp
edges.
fThe horizontal section of the belt should al-
ways fit snugly across the pelvis. Therefore, af-
ter fastening the belt, always pull the diagonal
part of the belt upwards.
Pregnant women should position the belt as
low as possible across the pelvis, and ensure
that it is not pressing against the abdomen.
fPull on the diagonal section of the belt now and
again during the journey to ensure that the
horizontal section remains tight.

A- PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lampNote on operation
Although not desired, it can occur in the case of
heavier children that the passenger airbags
remain active or, in the case of very light adults or
young persons, that the passenger airbag is
deactivated.
The condition of the passenger airbag system is
shown by the indicator lamp A in the central
console.
fIf in doubt, fasten the child restraint system on
the rear bench or transport the passenger on
the rear bench.Note
fAfter switching on the ignition, the PASSEN-
GER AIRBAG OFF warning light lights up for a
few seconds as a check.

– The passenger's airbag is active and ready for
operation.
– If the passenger's seat is not occupied, the
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will
also not light up, even though the passenger's
airbag is switched off.
Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death due
to the passenger airbag triggering
unintentionally.
When the ignition is on and a child weighing
up to 29 lbs (13 kg) is seated in the child re-
straint system on the passenger seat the in-
dicator lamp „PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF“
must be on.
If the “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” indicator
lamp does not light up, it could indicate a
fault in the system.
In this case:
fFasten the child restraint system on the rear
bench immediately. Do not install any child re-
straint system on the passenger’s seat.
fHave the fault remedied at your nearest authorized Porsche dealer.
