Note on operation
The reminder SPARE WHEEL/SEALING SET
OPERATION? goes out automatically after approx.
10 seconds if no selection is made during this
time. The original selection “YES” is then
maintained.In the event of faults, Tire Pressure Monitoring
cannot monitor the tire pressure. A distinction is
made between partial monitoring and inactive
system.
In the case of partial monitoring, the tire pressure
warning light on the speedometer flashes about
60 seconds and lights up thereafter permanently.
No message is output on the multi-purpose
display.
If Tire Pressure Monitoring is not active, the tire
pressure warning light on the speedometer
flashes about 60 seconds and lights up thereafter
permanently. A corresponding message is output
on the multi-purpose display.
The warning light goes out as soon as all faults
have been remedied.
Tire Pressure Monitoring switches to partial
monitoring if:
– there are up to two wheel transmitters not
present or faulty (e.g. a spare wheel or collap-
sible spare wheel is fitted that does not have a
wheel transmitter).
In the event of partial monitoring, the value “_” is
displayed in the sub-menu TYRE PRESSURE (filling
information) at the position of the faulty or missing
wheel transmitter.
Tire Pressure Monitoring is not active in the
following cases:
– Tire Pressure Monitoring is faulty,– at least three wheel transmitters for Tire
Pressure Monitoring are faulty or not present,
– temporarily after changing a wheel,
– too many wheel transmitters have been
detected,
– there is external interference by other radio
sources, e.g. wireless headphones,
– tire temperatures are too high.

purpose display:

Notes on tire pressurePressure increase as the result of tempera-
ture increase
In accordance with physical principles, the tire
pressure changes as the temperature changes.
The tire pressure increases or decreases by
around 1.5 psi (0.1 bar) for every 18 °F (10 °C)
change in temperature.
Tire pressure specifications
The tire pressure must match the prescribed value
(required pressure).
You can find information on the tire pressure for
cold tires 68 °F (20 °C):

ABS
(Anti-lock Brake System)
Warning!
In spite of the advantages of ABS, it is still the
driver’s responsibility to adapt her/his driving style
and maneuvers in line with road and weather
conditions, as well as the traffic situation.
The increased safety that is provided should not
induce you to take greater risks with your safety.
The limits set by the physics of driving cannot be
overcome, even with ABS.
Risks of accident due to inappropriate speed can-
not be reduced by ABS.
ABS ensures:
–Full steering control
The vehicle remains steerable
–Good driving stability
No skidding due to locked wheels
–Optimum braking distance
Shorter stopping distances in most cases
–Lock prevention
No flat spots on the tiresFunction
The decisive advantage of ABS is in the driving
stability and maneuvrability of the vehicle in
hazardous situations.
ABS prevents locking of the wheels during full
braking, on almost all road surfaces, until shortly
before the vehicle stops.
The ABS begins to control the braking process as
soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock.
This controlled braking process is comparable to
extremely rapid cadence braking.
The pulsating brake pedal and a “rattling noise”
warn the driver to adapt her/his driving speed to
the road conditions.
fIf full braking should be necessary, press the
brake pedal all the way down throughout the
entire braking procedure, regardless of the
pulsating pedal. Do not ease up on pressure
applied to the pedal.

Driving and Driving Safety Indication of selected level
The selected level is displayed by light-emitting
diodes beside the rocker switch (illustration).
The corresponding light-emitting diode beside the
rocker switch flashes during the control process.
The light-emitting diode is continuously lit after the
control process.
The level change is also indicated on the multi-
purpose display of the instrument panel.
Exceptions
Automatic changes from normal level to low level
and back are not indicated on the multi-purpose
display of the instrument panel.
Warning messageVarious messages are indicated on the multi-pur-
pose display of the instrument panel if there is a
system fault or if the compressor switches off due
to overload.
fFor further information on warning messages
on the multi-purpose display:
Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on Page 149.
fAdapt your driving style to the changed condi-
tions.
fConsult an authorized Porsche dealer in order
to remedy a system fault.
fIf the overload-protection function causes the
compressor to switch off, wait for a time until
it has cooled down. The system will function
again as soon as it has cooled sufficiently.
The warning message appears when the control
system is switched off and when the collapsible
spare wheel is being filled. This does not indicate
a fault.
The warning message will go out once these
procedures have been completed.
Raising vehicle with the jackWhenever it is necessary to jack up the vehicle:
fManually set normal level and then switch off
level control.
Switching off level control
1. Switch ignition on.
2. Push rocker switch forward for 5 to
10 seconds.
A message is shown on the multi-purpose
display of the instrument panel.
The vehicle can now be raised.
Switching level control back on
1. Switch ignition on.
2. Push rocker switch forward for 5 to
10 seconds or
3. Drive forward with the vehicle.
Level control switches on automatically.Transporting the vehicles on car trains,
ferries and car transportersfTie the vehicle down only at its wheels.
