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.

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
ignition is switched on 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.
9 mph (14 km/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 en-
gaged.
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 bump-
ers measure the distance to the closest obstacle.
– 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.
