Stowing load in the vehicle
Warning!
Danger of injury.
An unsecured or incorrectly positioned cargo
can slip out of place or endanger the vehicle
occupants during braking, direction changes
or in accidents.
Never transport objects which are not
secured.
fAlways transport cargo in the cargo area,
never in the passenger compartment (e.g. on
or in front of the seats).
fSupport the cargo on the seat backrests
whenever possible. Always lock the backrests
into place.
fPlace the cargo behind unoccupied seats
whenever possible.
fStow heavy objects as close to the front of the
cargo area as possible, with lightweight ob-
jects behind them.
fThe cargo must never project over the top
edge of the seat backrest.
fAlways protect the passenger compartment
with a luggage safety net and a luggage
compartment cover.
Do not drive with objects on top of the luggage
compartment cover.fIf the rear seats are not occupied, the back-
rests can be additionally secured with the safe-
ty belts. Simply cross the outer safety belts
and insert each into the opposite buckle.
fMake sure that the cargo cannot damage the
heating filaments of the rear window and the
TV antenna of the side window.
Luggage net
fLuggage must be stowed completely covered
by the luggage net.
The luggage net can prevent only lightweight
objects from slipping.
Tie-down belts
fDo not use elastic belts or straps to tie down
cargo.
fDo not place belts and straps over sharp
edges.
fObserve the directions for use and information
for the tie-down equipment.
fUse only belts with a tear strength of at least
1543 lbs. (700 kg) and a maximum width of
1in. (25mm).
fCross the belts over the load.Driving
fThe car's handling changes depending on the
vehicle loading. Adapt your driving style to the
changed driving behavior.
fDo not exceed the maximum gross weight and
the axle load.
fPlease see the chapter “WEIGHTS” on
Page 356.
fNever drive with the rear window or rear lid
open.
Exhaust gases can enter the passenger
compartment.
fAdapt the tire pressure to the load.
fPlease see the chapter “SETTING VEHICLE
LOADING AND ADJUSTING TIRE PRESSURE”
on Page 135.
fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURES,

Parking
243
Programming a button on the keypad
Caution!
Risk of damage. When programming a gara-
ge door or gate, the door or gate may open
and close several times in quick succession,
causing the motor to overheat.
fUnplug the garage door or gate during the pro-
gramming procedure to prevent the motor from overheating.
1. Press and hold the desired button on the
keypad until light-emitting diode B starts to
flash slowly (may take up to 20 seconds).
Do not release the button before step 3 has
been completed.2. Hold the original remote control approx.
5–30 cm in front of the marked position C.
Make sure that the battery in the original
remote control is new.
3. Press and hold the button on the original remo-
te control until light-emitting diode B flashes ra-
pidly.
The rapidly flashing LED B confirms that the re-
mote control function has been programmed
successfully.
Only release both buttons when LED B flashes.
4. Press the programmed button on keypad A.
If the light-emitting diode B lights up conti-
nuously after programming, this means that
the system is a fixed-code system. Program-
ming is now completed.
If light-emitting diode B again flashes rapidly
for a short time after programming and then
lights up continuously for approx. 2 seconds,
this means that the system is a changeable-
code system. HomeLink must then be synchro-
nized with the receiver of the garage door ope-
ner after programming.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 to program the other
buttons.
Synchronization for changeable-code
systems
1. To synchronize the system:
Press the programming button on the receiver
of the garage door opener.
Afterwards, you usually have approx.
30 seconds to initiate step 2.2. Press the previously programmed button on
the keypad three times (for approx. 1 second).
Changeable-code synchronization is now com-
pleted.
3. Repeat steps 1 to 2 to synchronize other
signals to the other buttons.
Note
fPlease consult an authorized Porsche dealer if
you have not been able to successfully assign
signals to the buttons even though you have
carefully followed the instructions in this
section and the operating instructions for the
original remote control. Your authorized
Porsche dealer also has a list of all compatible
garage door opener systems.
Operating the garage door openerfPress the corresponding button on keypad A.
Light-emitting diode B lights up continuously
during signal transmission with fixed-code
systems.
In the case of signal transmission for change-
able-code systems, light-emitting diode B
repeatedly lights up rapidly for a short time
and then lights up continuously for approx.
2seconds.

Maintenance and Car Care
265
The catalytic converters will be damaged by:
– push or tow starting the vehicle
– misfiring of the engine
– turning off the ignition while the vehicle is
moving or
– driving until the fuel tank is completely empty
– by other unusual operating conditions.
fDo not continue to operate your vehicle under
these conditions, since raw fuel might reach
the catalytic converters. This could result in
overheating of the converters. Federal law
prohibits use of leaded fuel in this car.
Fuel EconomyFuel economy will vary depending on where,
when and how you drive, optional equipment
installed, and the general condition of your
car.
A car tuned to specifications and correctly
maintained, will help you to achieve optimal
fuel economy.
fHave your vehicle tuned to specifications. Air
cleaner should be dirt free to allow proper
engine “breathing”.
Battery should be fully charged.
Wheels should be properly aligned.
Tires should be inflated to the correct
pressure.
fAlways monitor your fuel consumption.
fDrive smoothly, avoid abrupt changes in speed
as much as possible.
fAvoid jack rabbit starts and sudden stops.
fDo not drive longer than necessary in the lower
gears. Shifting into a higher gear early without
lugging the engine will help save fuel.
fProlonged “warm up” idling wastes gas. Start
the vehicle just before you are ready to drive.
Accelerate slowly and smoothly.fSwitch off the engine if stationary for longer
periods.
fAny additional weight carried in the vehicle
re d u c e s f u e l e c o n o m y. A l w a ys k e e p c a rg o t o a
minimum and remove all unnecessary items.
fOrganize your trips to take in several errands
in one trip.
fAll electrical accessories contribute to
increased fuel consumption.
fOnly switch on the air conditioning when neces-
sary.
fDo not drive with the Roof Transport System
mounted unless you need it.
The EPA estimated miles per gallon (mpg) is
to be used for comparison purposes, actual
mileage may be different from the estimated
mpg, depending on your driving speed,
weather conditions and trip length. Your
actual highway mileage will probably be less
than the estimated mpg.
fPlease see all local and national speed limits.

Minor Repairs
Inflating tires on vehicles with air
suspensionThe bag with the tire filling hose is located under
the loadspace floor in the spare-wheel recess.
1. Take tire filling hose out of the bag.
2. Remove cover in footwell of right front seat.
B- Screw coupling for compressor connection
C-Pressure tester
D- Hand valve for tire filling
E-Air bleed screw
F- Filler connection for tire valve3. Screw screw coupling B into the compressor
connection (in footwell of the front passenger
seat).
4. Screw filler connection F onto the tire valve.
Warning!
Danger of injury and risk of damage if the
operating unit is used improperly.
fUse this operating unit only to inflate or to bleed air from the tires of this vehicle.
5. Switch ignition on.
6. Press hand valve D until the correct tire pres-
sure is achieved.
Monitor the tire pressure with pressure tester
C during the inflation process.
7. Unscrew the screw coupling from the com-
pressor connection.
8. Unscrew filler connection from the tire valve.
9. Stow tire filler hose in the bag.
Note on operation
The compressor features a protective function
against overheating and switches itself off auto-
matically if necessary. The compressor must cool
down for a few minutes after automatic deactiva-
tion.
Reducing tire pressure on vehicles with
air suspensionfOpen air bleed screw E until the correct tire
pressure is achieved.
Monitor the tire pressure with pressure tester
C while correcting the tire pressure.
