Rain sensor operation, front windshield
wipers
In rain sensor mode, the amount of rain on the
windshield is measured. Wiper speed is
automatically adjusted accordingly.
At a speed of less than approx. 2 mph (4 km/h),
rain sensor operation is automatically activated if
the windshield wiper is switched on. If you exceed
a speed of approx. 5 mph (8 km/h), the system
changes to the preselected wiper speed.
The rain sensor remains switched off if the wiper
stalk is already in position 1 when the ignition is
switched on. To switch the rain sensor on again:
f
Move wiper stalk to position 0 and then to
position 1
Switch-on is confirmed by one wipe of the
windshield.
or
Operate windshield washer system 5.
Switch-on is confirmed by three wipes
of the windshield.
or
Change the sensitivity of the rain sensor
using switch A .
Note on operation
In the multi-function display on the instrument
panel, you can configur e the rain sensor to
activate automatically when the ignition is
switched on and the wiper stalk is set to
position 1.
For information on adjusting rain sensor activation
when the ignition is switched on:
f Please see the chapter “SETTING RAIN
SENSOR ACTIVATION” on page 143.
Adjusting the rain sensor sensitivity
f Move switch A upwards –
high sensitivity.
The setting is confirmed by one wipe of
the windshield.
f Move switch A downwards –
low sensitivity. Headlight washer system
The washer sprays only while low beam or
high beam is activated.
f

Alarm System and Passenger
Compartment MonitoringThis device complies with:
Part 15 of the FCC Rules
RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation of this device is subject to the following
two conditions:
– It may not cause harmful interference, and
– it must accept any interference received including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio
or TV interference caused by unauthorized
modifications to this equipment.
Such modification could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
Warning!
Any changes or modifications not expressly ap-
proved by Porsche could void the user’s authority
to operate this equipment.
The alarm system monitors the following alarm
contacts:
– Alarm contacts in doors, tailgate, engine compartment lid and headlights
– Interior surveillance: Movement in the interior when the vehicle is locked, e.g. attempted
theft after breaking a window.
– Inclination sensor: Tilting of the vehicle (e.g. attempt to tow away the vehicle).
If one of these alarm contacts is interrupted,
the alarm horn sounds for approx. 30 seconds
and the emergency flasher flashes on and off.
After 5 seconds of interruption, the alarm is
triggered again. This cycle is repeated ten times.Switching onf The alarm system is activated when the vehicle
is locked. Switching offfThe alarm system is deactivated when the
vehicle is unlocked. Note on operation
f
If you unlock the vehicle with the emergency
key in the door lock, you must switch the
ignition on (ignition lock position 1) within
10 seconds of opening the door in order to
prevent the alarm system from being
triggered.
The vehicle is locked ag ain automatically after
20 seconds if no doors are opened.
Switching off the alarm system if it is
triggeredf Unlock vehicle doors with the remote control
or
Switch on ignition.Switching off interior surveillance and
inclination sensorIf people or animals are remaining in the locked
vehicle or the vehicle is being transported on
a train or ship, for example, the interior
surveillance system and inclination sensor must
be switched off temporarily.

Maintenance and Car Care

Porsche dealer to do this work as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary
parts and tools. Warning!
Brake fluid is hazardous to your health, and
may be fatal if swallowed.
Brake fluid also attacks paintwork.
f Keep brake fluid out of children's reach.
f Immediately rinse off spilled brake fluid with
clean water.
f If brake fluid gets into your eye, immediately
rinse with clean water for a few minutes. Then
see a doctor immediately.
f Please note all the info rmation on the refill container of the brake fluid.
Changing brake fluidBrake fluid absorbs moisture from the air
over time. The absorbed water can impair
braking efficiency.
fIt is important therefore to have the brake fluid
changed in accordance with the change
intervals specified in the “Maintenance”
booklet.
The warning light on the instrument panel and the
warning message on the multi-function display
alert you to the fact that the brake fluid level is
too low and could indicate brake circuit failure
if the pedal travel is greater than normal.
Note on operation
If the warning light and warning message appear
when driving:
f Stop immediately in a suitable place.
f Do not continue driving.
Please contact a qualified specialist workshop.
We recommend that you have an authorized
Porsche dealer to do this work as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary
parts and tools.
Washer Fluid We recommend window cleaner concentrates
approved by Porsche for either summer or winter,
depending on the season. Your authorized
Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you.
The washer fluid reservoir for windshield, rear
window and headlights is located at the rear left in
the engine compartment (blue screw cap).

Maintenance and Car Care
Cleaning headlights, lights, interior and
exterior plastic components, adhesive
foils, radar sensor for adaptive cruise
control and rearview cameraObserve the following points:
fUse only clean water and a little dishwashing
liquid or interior window cleaner to clean
headlights, lights, plastic components
and surfaces.
Use a soft sponge or a soft, lint-free cloth.
Note
An interior window cleane r can also be used to
clean plastic surfaces (always read the cleaning
instructions on the container!).
We recommend Porsche interior window cleaner.
f Gently wipe the surface without applying
too much pressure.
f Do not clean when dry.
f Never use other chemical cleaners
or solvents.
f Rinse cleaned surfaces with clear water.
Alloy wheelsMetal particles (e.g. brass or copper in brake
dust) must not remain too long on alloy wheels.
Contact corrosion can cause pitting.
Note
Cleaners with an oxide-removing effect or
wrong pH value, as are commonly used for
other metals, as well as mechanical tools and
products, will damage the oxide layer and are
therefore unsuitable.
fUse only cleaners for alloy wheels
(pH value 9.5). Products with the wrong
pH value can destroy the protective layer
on the wheels.
We recommend Porsche cleaner for light
alloy rims.
f If possible, wash the wheels every two weeks
with a sponge or washing brush. If the wheels
are exposed to road salt, grit or industrial dust,
weekly cleaning is necessary.
f Every three months, after cleaning, treat the
wheels with car wax or an acid-free grease
(e.g. Vaseline).
Rub the grease in well with a soft cloth.
f Please see the chapter “CLEANING IN CAR
WASHES” on page 271.
Danger!
Danger of accident resulting in serious
personal injury or death if cleaning agents
(e.g. wheel cleaning agents) come into
contact with the brake discs. The resulting
film on the brake discs can impair braking
performance.
f Make sure that no clea ning agent comes into
contact with the brake discs.
f If cleaning agent has come into contact with
the brake discs, clean the brake discs
thoroughly with a strong jet of water.
f Paying attention to any road users behind you, dry the brake discs by applying the brakes.
Stainless steel tailpipesStainless steel tailpipes can discolor due to
soiling, strong heat and combustion residues.
The original shine can be achieved again using
commercially available metal lustre paste or metal
polish.
