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.
When ParkAssist is switched off, the indicator
light in the button lights up.
Note on operation
It is a good idea to switch off ParkAssist when
driving off-road and on unpaved surfaces.

Parking Limits of ultrasonic measurement
– ParkAssist cannot detect sound-absorbing
obstacles (e.g. winter operation, powder
snow),
– Sound-reflecting obstacles (e.g. glass sur-
faces, flat painted surfaces),
– And very thin obstacles.
Other ultrasound sources (e.g. pneumatic brakes
of other vehicles, jackhammers) can interfere with
detection of obstacles.
Fault indication without warning tone
All red light segments of the active warning indica-
tors light up when there is a temporary fault in
ParkAssist.
Note
Correct operation is no longer ensured if there is
a temporary fault (e.g. caused by ice formation or
heavy soiling on the sensors).
The system detects the temporary fault.
All light segments light up until a speed of
9mph (14km/h) is reached.
ParkAssist is ready for operation again when the
interference has been eliminated.Fault indication with warning tone
In the event of a long-lasting fault in ParkAssist,
the red light segments of the active warning indi-
cators light up and a continuous tone sounds for
three seconds after a transmission range has
been selected.
Possible causes
– Defect or system fault.
fSwitch ParkAssist off.
When ParkAssist is switched off, the indicator
light in the button lights up.
Please see the chapter “SWITCHING
PARKASSIST ON AND OFF” on Page 237.
fPlease have the fault remedied at an
authorized Porsche dealer.Driving with a trailer
The ParkAssist rear monitoring area is switched
off when the trailer’s power supply is plugged in.

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
Changing Air CleanerRegular replacement of the filter element is part of
servicing.
fIn dusty conditions, clean the filter element
more frequently and replace if necessary.
Further important information concerning “mainte-
nance” can be found in a separate chapter.
fPlease see the chapter “EXERCISE EXTREME
CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON YOUR VEHICLE”
on Page 250.Changing Particle FilterThe fresh air passing through the particle filter into
the passenger compartment is virtually free of
dust and pollen.
fIf the outside air is polluted by exhaust fumes,
press the recirculating-air button.
A dirty filter can be the cause of reduced air
throughput.
fHave filter replaced by your authorized
Porsche dealer.
fRegular replacement of the filter is part of
servicing.
Automatic Transmission Fluid The torque converter and the transmission are
lubricated with Automatic Transmission Fluid
(ATF).
fPlease see the chapter “CAPACITIES” on
Page 359.
Do not tow the car or run the engine without ATF
in the transmission. The automatic transmission
may be damaged by even a tiny speck of dirt, only
a clean funnel or spout must be used when adding
AT F.
The ATF and transmission oil has to be checked
and changed at the intervals listed in your Mainte-
nance Schedule.
We recommend that you have the ATF and trans-
mission oil changed at your Porsche dealer, who
has the required lubricants and the necessary fil-
ling equipment.
If you suspect an oil leak in the transmission, have
your authorized Porsche dealer check it out imme-
diately.
Manual Transmission OilThe transmission oil has to be checked and chan-
ged at the intervals listed in your Maintenance
Schedule.
fPlease see the chapter “CAPACITIES” on
Page 359.
We recommend that you have the transmission oil
changed at your Porsche dealer, who has the
required lubricants and the necessary filling equip-
ment.
If you suspect an oil leak in the transmission, have
your authorized Porsche dealer check it out imme-
diately.

Maintenance and Car Care
275
UndercoatingThe underside of your car is durably protected
against chemical and mechanical influences.
As it is not possible to exclude the risk of damage
to this protective coating in day to day driving, it
is advisable to have the underside of the car
inspected at certain intervals - preferably before
the start of winter and again in spring - and the
undercoating restored as necessary.
Your authorized Porsche dealer is familiar with the
bodyseal treatment procedures and has the ne-
cessary equipment for applying factory approved
materials. We recommend that you entrust them
with such work and inspections.
Unlike conventional spray oils, undercoating and
rust-proofing compounds based on bitumen or
wax do not attack the sound-proofing materials
applied at the factory.
Warning!
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.fBefore applying fresh underseal, carefully re-
move deposits or dirt and grease. Once it has
dried, the new undercoating compound forms
a tough protective coating which provides effi-
cient rust-proofing of the floor panels and com-
ponents.
fAlways apply a fresh coating of suitable pre-
servative to unprotect areas after cleaning the
underside of the body, the transmission, the
engine or carrying out repairs to underbody,
engine or transmission components.
Effective rust-proofing is particularly important
during the cold weather season. If your car is
driven frequently in areas where salt has been
spread on the roads, the whole engine compart-
ment should be cleaned thoroughly after the
winter to prevent salt from causing any lasting
damage. A full under-body wash should also be
performed at the same time.
Cleaning headlights, lights, interior and
exterior plastic parts, adhesive filmsObserve the following points:
fUse only clean water and a little dishwashing
detergent or interior window cleaner to clean
headlights, lights, plastic parts, adhesive films
and surfaces.
Use a soft sponge or a soft, lint-free cloth.
Note
An interior window cleaner can also be used to
clean plastic surfaces (observe cleaning instruc-
tions on the container!).
We recommend the Porsche interior window
cleaner.
fGently wipe the surface without applying too
much pressure.
fDo not clean when dry.
fNever use other chemical cleaners or
solvents.
Rinse cleaned surfaces with clear water.
