Battery carefEnsure that battery is securely mounted.
fKeep terminals and connections clean and 
properly tightened. Corrosion can be preven-
ted by coating the terminals and connections 
with petroleum jelly or silicone spray.
fEnsure that vent caps are securely tightened to 
prevent spillage.
Checking the electrolyte fluid level
(only on low-maintenance batteries)
Generally, the electrolyte level must be checked 
more often in summer than in the winter, and more 
often when driving long distances.
fWhen adding water, use only clean containers. 
In no case may alcohol (e.g. window cleaner 
residues) be permitted to enter the battery.
fUnscrew and open the filler vent caps of each 
cell.
With the car on a level surface, the fluid level 
should meet the indicator mark in each cell.
fIf necessary, top up with distilled water. Do not 
use acid. Only fill up to the mark, otherwise the 
electrolyte will overflow when the battery is 
being charged and cause damage.
Winter operationDuring the winter months, battery capacity tends 
to decrease as temperatures drop. Additionally, 
more power is consumed while starting, and the 
headlights, heater, rear window defogger, etc., 
are used more frequently.
Let your Porsche dealer test the battery's capaci-
ty before winter sets in.Vehicle storageIf the car stands for long periods in the garage or 
workshop, the doors and lids should be closed. 
fRemove the ignition key and, if necessary, dis-
connect the battery. 
Notes on operation
fWhen the battery is disconnected, the alarm 
system ceases to function.
If the vehicle was locked before the battery 
was disconnected, the alarm will be triggered 
when the battery is reconnected.
To deactivate the alarm system:
fLock the vehicle and unlock it again.
Alarm system, central locking
The status of the central locking and alarm system 
is not changed by disconnecting the battery.Maintenance Notes
Even if you put your vehicle out of operation, the 
battery still discharges. 
The battery will discharge more quickly if your ve-
hicle is not driven on a daily basis over a distance 
of several miles. The more often you drive your ve-
hicle, and the longer the distance driven on each 
trip, the more opportunity the vehicle‘s charging 
system will have to recharge the batteries.
fTo preserve its efficiency, charge the battery 
about every 6 weeks.
fCheck the battery acid level and top off with 
distilled water if necessary.
fStore a battery that has been removed in a 
dark, cool place, but not subject to freezing.
Replacing the batteryThe service life of the battery is subject to normal 
wear; it depends greatly on care, climatic conditi-
ons, and driving conditions (distances, loads).
fOnly use an original Porsche battery, with the 
correct part number, as a replacement. Only 
this battery meets the specific requirements of 
the vehicle.
fPlease observe the disposal instructions for 
batteries.

Minor Repairs
Putting vehicle into operationAfter the battery is connected or after a 
completely discharged batterie is charged, the 
PSM warning light lights up on the instrument 
panel and a message appears on the multi-
purpose display of the instrument panel to indicate 
a fault.
This fault can be remedied with a few simple 
steps:
1. Start the engine.
To do this, turn the ignition key or the control 
unit (on vehicles that have Porsche Entry & 
Drive) to ignition lock position 2 twice.
2. Perform a few steering movements and drive 
a short distance in a straight line until the PSM 
warning light goes out and the message is 
erased from the memory of the multi-purpose 
display of the instrument panel.
3. If the warnings does not go out, then: 
Drive carefully to the nearest authorized 
Porsche dealer.
Have the fault remedied by an authorized 
Porsche dealer.
4. After the warnings disappear:
Stop the vehicle in a suitable place.
5. Perform adaptation of the power windows:
Please see the chapter “STORING FINAL POSI-
TION OF THE DOOR WINDOWS” on Page 90.6. On vehicles with tire pressure monitoring:
Please see the chapter “SETTING THE TIRE 
TYPE AND SIZE” on Page 134.
7. On vehicles with Panorama roof system:
Please see the chapter “SAVE FINAL POSITION 
OF THE PANORAMA ROOF SYSTEM” on 
Page 99.
Replacing the remote control 
batteryNote
fPlease dispose of batteries in compliance with 
any and all government regulations.Car keyIf the battery in the remote control becomes too 
weak, a warning will appear on the multi-purpose 
display in the instrument panel. The battery should 
be changed in this case.Changing the battery
1. Carefully pry out the lid on the back of the key 
housing with a small screwdriver.
2. Replace battery (observe polarity). 
A replacement battery is available from your 
authorized Porsche dealer.
3. Replace cover and press together firmly.
