Danger of crushing.
fDespite the presence of this detection system,
you are still responsible for keeping yourself
and others entirely out of the way of the door as it is closing.
The closing operation is interrupted if closing of
the rear lid is blocked by an obstacle.
A warning signal sounds and the rear lid opens
again by a few inches.
When the obstacle has been removed, the rear lid
can be closed by pressing one of the correspon-
ding buttons.Adjusting the opening height of the rear lid
The opening height of the rear lid can be individu-
ally adjusted so that the rear lid does not collide
with the garage ceiling, for example.
On vehicles with level control, the vehicle height
changes depending on the setting of the level con-
trol system. For this reason, always adjust the ope-
ning height with the vehicle at the highest level set-
ting so that the rear lid cannot accidentally collide
with the garage ceiling, for example.
1. Stand behind the vehicle and open the rear lid.
2. Press the button on the key to stop the
automatic opening operation at around 2/3 of
the opening height.
3. Now move the rear lid up by hand until the desi-
red opening height is reached. Make sure that
there is a sufficient minimum clearance from
any obstacle.
4. Press and hold the button in the rear lid trim pa-
nel for approx. 3 seconds.
An acknowledgement signal sounds, and the
emergency flasher lights up once.
The opening height of the rear lid has now
been programmed.
The rear lid can now be closed by briefly pres-
sing the button.
This setting cannot be deleted. If a different set-
ting is required, repeat steps 1 to 4.Malfunctions of the rear lid drive
The automatic function is not active if the battery
voltage is too low.
If a button is pressed, the rear lid lock is unlocked
and a warning signal sounds for 3 seconds. The
rear lid can now be opened by hand.

Panorama roof systemThe Panorama roof system of your Porsche
consists of a total of four roof elements.
Roof element 1 is the draft deflector. This
adjusts itself according to the speed, and helps

especially at high speeds or from turbulent air
flow.
Both roof elements 2 and 3 can be moved by
activating the knob in the vehicle's longitudinal
direction. Roof element 3 can also be raised.
This allows the interior to be better ventilated.
Roof element 4 is a fixed glass element and
completes the Panorama roof system.

If the ignition key is withdrawn and the door is
opened while the lights (not the parking light) are
on, an acoustic signal (gong) warns of possible
battery discharge.
In some countries, differences are possible
due to provisions of law.Automatic driving light assistantThe driving light assistant is a comfort function.
Your Porsche’s driving light (low beam) is switched
on and off automatically, irrespective of the
ambient brightness.
Despite possible support by the driving light assis-
tant, it is the responsibility of the driver to switch
on the driving light using the conventional light
switch in accordance with the relevant national
regulations.
Activating the headlights using the driving light
assistant does not therefore absolve the driver of
responsibility for the correct operation of the
driving light.
