Parking AidsParkAssist 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.
Tiptronic 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
area.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
engaged.
Warning!
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
parking and when assessing obstacles.
fMake sure that no persons especially small
children, animals or obstacles are within the maneuvering area.
Switching ParkAssist on and offfSwitch ParkAssist on and off using button A in
the roof console.

The warning indicator for the front area is located
on the dashboard.
The warning indicator for the rear area is located
in the rooflining at the rear of the loadspace.
The warning indicators for the various monitoring
areas (left and right) are subdivided respectively
into one green, 4 yellow and 2 red light segments
C- Rear display – right monitoring area
D- Rear display – left monitoring areaIf ParkAssist is activated, the green light seg-
ments of the active warning indicators are lit up
continuously.
If the vehicle approaches an obstacle that has
been detected by the sensors, one or more of the
yellow or red light segments lights up, depending
on the distance to the obstacle.If the first yellow light segment lights up, the
obstacle is still 48 in. (120 cm) (to the front) or
48 in. to 59 in. (120 to 150 cm) (to the rear)
away.
A brief signal tone sounds when reversing.
An intermittent tone sounds when the distance
becomes less than approx. 24 in. (60 cm). The
fourth yellow light segment lights up.
A continuous tone sounds when the distance be-
comes less than approx. 10 in. (25 cm) (on vehic-
les with trailer coupling: approx. 14 in. (35 cm)).
The second red light segment lights up.
If the obstacle is approached even closer, the
system may not be able to recognize the obstacle
any longer.
fSet the radio volume so that the signal tones
are not drowned out.
You can have the volume of the signal tones
adjusted to your own requirements at your

Maintenance and Car Care
Parking
Danger!
Danger of fire resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
fDo not park or operate the vehicle in areas
where the hot exhaust system may come in
contact with dry grass, brush, fuel spill or
other flammable material.
fIf your car catches on fire for any reason, call
the fire department. Do not endanger your life by attempting to put out the fire.
Undercoating
Danger!
Danger of fire resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
fDo not apply additional undercoating or rust-
proofing on or near the exhaust manifold,
exhaust pipes, catalytic converters or heat
shields. During driving the substance used for undercoating could overheat and ignite.
How Emission Control WorksWhen an automobile engine is running, it uses
energy generated through the combustion of a
mixture of air and fuel. Depending on whether a
car is driven fast or slowly or whether the engine
is cold or hot, some of the fuel (hydrocarbons)
may not be burned completely, but may be
discharged into the engine crankcase or exhaust
system. Additonal hydrocarbons may enter the
atmosphere through evaporation of fuel from the
fuel tank. These hydrocarbons (HC), when
released into the air, contribute to undesirable
pollution.
In addition, carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) contribute to engine emissions.
They, too, are formed during the combustion
process and discharged into the exhaust system.
To reduce these pollutants, your Porsche is
equipped with a precisely calibrated fuel injection
system to assure a finely balanced air/fuel mixture
under all operating conditions.
Oxygen sensorThe oxygen sensor, installed in the exhaust pipe
continuously senses the oxygen content of the ex-
haust and signals the information to an electronic
control unit. The control unit corrects the air/fuel
ratio, so the engine always receives an accurately
metered air/fuel mixture.Crankcase ventilationThrough crankcase ventilation, undesirable
emissions from the engine crankcase are not per-
mitted to reach the outside atmosphere. These
emissions are recirculated from the crankcase to
the air intake system. From here the emissions
mix with the intake air and are later burned in the
engine.Catalytic convertersThe catalytic converters are efficient “clean-up”
devices built into the exhaust system of the
vehicle. The catalytic converters burn the
undesirable pollutants in the exhaust gas before it
is released into the atmosphere.
The exclusive use of unleaded fuel is critical-
ly important for the life of the catalytic con-
verters. Therefore, only unleaded fuel must
be used.
