Plug socket in the storage tray between the front seatsNote
The maximum electrical load of a socket is 20 A, 
but only if no other loads are switched on. Do not 
exceed 10 A per socket if several loads are 
operating simultaneously. 
Plug socket in the storage tray between the rear seatsNote on operation
The sockets and thus the connected electrical 
accessories function even if the ignition is 
switched off or the ignition key is removed. 
If the engine is not running and the accessories 
are switched on, the vehicle battery will 
be discharged. 
The power supply is interrupted after 30 minutes 
to protect the vehicle battery. The ignition must 
then be switched on once in order to switch the 
load back on again.

Replacing the batteryThe service life of the battery is subject to normal 
wear; it depends greatly on care, climatic 
conditions, and driving conditions (distances, 
loads).
f Only use an original Porsche battery, with the 
correct part number, as a replacement. Only 
this battery meets the spec ific requirements of 
the vehicle.
f Please observe the disposal instructions for 
batteries.
Putting vehicle into operationAfter the battery is connected or after a fully 
discharged  battery is charged, the PSM warning 
light lights up on the instrument panel and 
a message appears on the multi-function display 
in the instrument panel to indicate a fault.
This fault can be corrected with a few 
simple steps:
1. Start the engine. To do this, turn the igni tion key or the control 
unit (on vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive) 
to ignition lock position  2, twice .
2. With the vehicle stationary, perform a few  steering movements to the left and right and 
then drive a short distance in a straight line 
until the PSM warning light goes out and the 
message is erased from the multi-function 
display in the instrument panel.
3. If the warnings do  not disappear, then:
Drive carefully to the nearest authorized 
Porsche dealer to have the fault corrected.
4. After the warnings go out: Stop the vehicle in a suitable place.
5. Store the end position for the power windows. For information on storin
g the end positions for 
the power windows:
f Please see the chapter “STORING END 
POSITION OF THE DOOR WINDOWS AFTER 
CONNECTING THE VEHICLE BATTERY” on 
page 88.
6. Teach tires on vehicles with Tire  Pressure Monitoring.
For information on teaching the Tire Pressure 
Monitoring system:
f Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE 
MONITORING (TPM)” on page 127.
7. Store end position on vehicles with a slide/ tilt roof.
For information on storing the end position for the 
slide/tilt roof:
f Please see the chapter “STORING END 
POSITION OF THE SLIDE/TILT ROOF” on 
page 90.

External Power Supply,
Jump-Lead StartingIf the battery is flat, the battery of another vehicle 
can be used for starting  or as an external power 
supply with the help of jump leads.
Both batteries must be 12 V batteries. 
The capacity (Ah) of the do nor battery must not be 
substantially less than that of the flat battery.
The flat battery must be connected correctly to 
the vehicle’s electrical system.
 Warning!
Risk of short circuit, damage and explosion, 
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
f Use only jumper cables of adequate diameter 
cross-section and fitted with completely 
insulated alligator clips.
f Follow all warnings and instructions of the 
jumper cable manufacturer.
f When connecting jumper cables, make sure 
that they cannot get ca ught in any moving 
parts in the engine compartment.
The jumper cables must be long enough so 
that neither vehicles nor cables touch another.
f The vehicles must not be  in contact, otherwise 
current might flow as soon as the positive 
terminals are connected.
f The cable clamps must not be allowed to 
contact each other when one end of the 
jumper cables are connected to a battery. f
Carefully ensure that tools or conductive 
jewelery (rings, chains, watch straps) do not 
come into contact with the positive jumper 
cable or the positive battery post.
f Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin 
the alternator.
Danger of caustic burns.
f Do not lean over the battery.
Danger of gas explosion.
f Improper use of booster battery to start a 
vehicle may cause an explosion, resulting in 
serious personal injury or death.
f Keep sources of ignition away from the 
battery, e.g. open flame, burning cigarettes or 
sparking due to cable contact or welding work.
f A discharged battery can freeze even at 
14 °F ( −10 °C). Before connecting jumper 
cables, a frozen battery must be thawed out.
+ = Positive terminal for jump-lead starting 
– = Ground point for jump-lead startingExternal power supply/jump-lead startingAlways observe the sequence below: 
1. Open the cap on the positive terminal for 
jump-lead starting ( +).
2. Attach the positive lead first to the positive  terminal for jump-lead starting ( +), then to the

4. Leave the engine of the donor vehicle running at a higher engine speed.
5. Start the engine. An attempted start using jump leads should 
not last more than 15 seconds. Then wait for 
at least one minute.
6. Disconnect the negative  lead from the ground 
point for jump-lead starting ( –) first, then from 
the negative terminal of the donor battery.
7. Disconnect the positive lead from the positive  terminal of the donor ba ttery first, then from 
the positive terminal for jump-lead starting ( +).
8. Close the cap on the posi tive terminal for jump-
lead starting ( +).Charging the batteryAutomotive batteries loose their efficiency when 
not in use. The charge available in your battery can 
be measured with a battery hydrometer. We 
recommend that the battery voltage be tested by 
your Porsche dealer who has the appropriate 
equipment. 
If the car is not driven  for prolonged periods, the 
battery must be charged at least every 6 weeks. 
A discharged battery allo ws rapid formation of 
sulfates, leading to premature deterioration of the 
plates.
 Danger!
Hydrogen gas genera ted by the battery 
could cause an explosion, resulting in 
serious personal injury or death.
f Charge battery in a well ventilated area.
f Never charge a frozen battery. It may explode 
because of gas trapped in the ice. Allow a 
frozen battery to thaw out first.
f If you get electrolyte, which is an acid, in your 
eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse with 
cold water for several minutes and call a doctor.
Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to 
advise you about a suitable charger.
f Always observe the instructions provided by 
the charger manufacturer.
1. Connect the charger to the jump-lead  starting terminals.
Only plug into the mains and switch the 
charger on when it is connected up correctly.
2. Switch on the charger.
3. After charging the battery, first switch off the  charger and then disconnect it.
f Please see the chapter “PUTTING VEHICLE 
INTO OPERATION” on page 305.
