Parking AidsParkAssistParkAssist provides a visual and acoustic indica-
tion to the driver of the distance between the
vehicle and a large obstacle.
ParkAssist is switched on automatically when the
engine is started and remains active up to a speed
of approx. 9 mph (14 km/h).
ParkAssist is switched off automatically at high
speed. ParkAssist is switched on again auto-
matically when the speed drops below approx.
9mph (14km/h).
The selector lever position determines activation
levels for ParkAssist and the corresponding area
that is monitored.
Selector lever position:
–P – ParkAssist is not activated.
–R, N – ParkAssist is activated for the front and
rear areas.
–D, M – ParkAssist is activated for the front ar-
ea.Gearshift lever position:
–R– ParkAssist is activated for the front and
rear areas.
–In all other gearshift positions – ParkAssist
is activated for the front area.
Note
On vehicles with manual transmission, the parking
assistant is not switched on in the rear area if the
vehicle rolls backward without reverse gear enga-
ged.
Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death.
ParkAssist cannot detect small objects such
as children and pets.
Even when using ParkAssist, the driver is still
responsible for taking due care when park-
ing and when assessing obstacles.
fMake sure that no persons especially small
children, animals or obstacles are within the maneuvering area.Switching ParkAssist on and off
fSwitch ParkAssist on and off using button A in
the roof console.
When ParkAssist is switched off, the indicator
light in the button lights up.
Note on operation
It is a good idea to switch off ParkAssist when
driving off-road and on unpaved surfaces.

Front ultrasound sensorsSensors
Six ultrasound sensors in the front and rear
bumpers measure the distance to the closest ob-
stacle.
– Range of outer sensors
(front and rear):
approx. 24 in. (60 cm)
– Range of front middle sensors (arrow):
approx. 48 in. (120 cm)
Rear ultrasound sensors– Range of rear middle sensors (arrow)
(only in vehicles without spare wheel bracket):
approx. 59 in. (150 cm)
– Range of rear middle sensors
(only in vehicles with spare wheel bracket):
approx. 48 in. (120 cm)
Obstacles cannot be detected in the "blind" sensor
area (above and below the sensors).Maintenance note
fThe sensors must always be kept free of dust,
ice and snow in order to ensure that they are
fully functional.
fDo not damage sensors by abrasion or
scratching.
fMaintain sufficient distance when cleaning with
steam-jet units.
The sensors will be damaged if the pressure is
too high.
Note on operation
The rear ultrasound sensors may not function
correctly if tires that have not been recommended
by Porsche are fitted on the spare wheel bracket.
If the spare wheel bracket is open, this may impair
the function of the rear ultrasound sensors.
In vehicles that have air suspension with level
control and height adjustment, the system may
not recognise obstacles near the ground at terrain
level or special terrain level.

A- Front display – left monitoring area
B- Front display – right monitoring areaWarning indicators, signal tones, distances
The warning indicator for the front area is located
on the dashboard.
The warning indicator for the rear area is located
in the rooflining at the rear of the loadspace.
The warning indicators for the various monitoring
areas (left and right) are subdivided respectively
into one green, 4 yellow and 2 red light segments.
C- Rear display – right monitoring area
D- Rear display – left monitoring areaIf ParkAssist is activated, the green light seg-
ments of the active warning indicators are lit up
continuously.
If the vehicle approaches an obstacle that has
been detected by the sensors, one or more of the
yellow or red light segments lights up, depending
on the distance to the obstacle.If the first yellow light segment lights up, the ob-
stacle is still 48 in. (120 cm) (to the front) or 48 in.
to 59 in. (120 to 150 cm) (to the rear) away.
A brief signal tone sounds when reversing.
Anintermittent tone sounds when the distance
becomes less than approx. 24 in. (60 cm). The
fourth yellow light segment lights up.
Acontinuous tone sounds when the distance be-
comes less than approx. 10 in. (25 cm) (on vehi-
cles with trailer coupling: approx. 14 in. (35 cm)).
Thesecond red light segment lights up.
If the obstacle is approached even closer, the sys-
tem may not be able to recognize the obstacle any
longer.
fSet the radio volume so that the signal tones
are not drowned out.
You can have the volume of the signal tones ad-
justed to your own requirements at your autho-
rized Porsche dealer.
Note on operation
If the obstacle is approached even closer after the
continuous tone sounds and the second red light
segment lights up, the system may not be able to
recognize the obstacle any longer.

Limits of ultrasonic measurement
– ParkAssist cannot detect sound-absorbing ob-
stacles (e.g. powder snow),
– Sound-reflecting obstacles (e.g. glass surfac-
es, flat painted surfaces),
– And very thin obstacles.
Other ultrasound sources (e.g. pneumatic brakes
of other vehicles, jackhammers) can interfere with
detection of obstacles.
Fault indication without warning tone
All red light segments of the active warning indica-
tors light up when there is a temporary fault in
ParkAssist.
Note
Correct operation is no longer ensured if there is
a temporary fault (e.g. caused by ice formation or
heavy soiling on the sensors).
The system detects the temporary fault.
All light segments light up until a speed of
9 mph (14 km/h) is reached.
ParkAssist is ready for operation again when the
interference has been eliminated.Fault indication with warning tone
In the event of a long-lasting fault in ParkAssist,
the red light segments of the active warning indi-
cators light up and a continuous tone sounds for
three seconds after a transmission range has
been selected.
Possible causes
– Defect or system fault.
fSwitch ParkAssist off.
When ParkAssist is switched off, the indicator
light in the button lights up.
fPlease have the fault remedied at an autho-
rized Porsche dealer.Driving with a trailer
