This manual setting is retained until the appropri-
ate function button is pressed again or the button
is pressed.SensorsTo avoid affecting the performance of the air-con-
ditioning system:
fDo not cover the sun sensor on the dashboard
and the temperature sensor F in the front con-
trol panel of the air-conditioning system.
Setting temperatureTo suit personal comfort, the interior temperature
can be adjusted between 61 °F and 85 °F (16 °C
and 29.5 °C).
Recommendation: 72 °F (22 °C)
The selected temperature is shown on the display

If “LO” or “HI” appears on the display, the system
is operating at maximum cooling or heating
power. Automatic mode is switched off.
If the preselected temperature is changed, the air
quantity blowing out can adjust automatically in
automatic mode.
The desired temperature is reached more quickly
this way.The selected air quantity is shown in a bar display
on the display above the button.
The more bars that are displayed, the more air
flows into the interior.
Increase air quantity
fPush air quantity button G up.
Decrease air quantity
fPush air quantity button G down.
Press button to return to automatic mode.
If the air quantity was reduced so much that “OFF”
appears on the display, the outside-air supply is
interrupted.
Warning!
Risk of accident due to impaired vision,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
If the air quantity is “OFF”, the windows may
mist up.
fOnly select air quantity setting “OFF” for short
periods.
fIf windows mist up, push air quantity button G

Parking
Front ultrasound sensorsSensors
Six ultrasound sensors in the front and rear
bumpers measure the distance to the closest
obstacle.
– Range of outer sensors
(front and rear):
approx. 24 in. (60 cm)
– Range of front middle sensors (arrow):
approx. 48 in. (120 cm)
Rear ultrasound sensors– Range of rear middle sensors (arrow)
(only in vehicles without spare wheel bracket):
approx. 59 in. (150 cm)
– Range of rear middle sensors
(only in vehicles with spare wheel bracket):
approx. 48 in. (120 cm)
Obstacles cannot be detected in the “blind” sen-
sor area (above and below the sensors).Maintenance Notes
fThe sensors must always be kept free of dust,
ice and snow in order to ensure that they are
fully functional.
fDo not damage sensors by abrasion or
scratching.
fMaintain sufficient distance when cleaning with
steam-jet units.
The sensors will be damaged if the pressure is
too high.
Note on operation
The rear ultrasound sensors may not function
correctly if tires that have not been recommended
by Porsche are fitted on the spare wheel bracket.
If the spare wheel bracket is open, this may impair
the function of the rear ultrasound sensors.
In vehicles that have air suspension with level
control and height adjustment, the system may
not recognize obstacles near the ground at terrain
level or special terrain level.

Parking
239
A- Front display – left monitoring area
B- Front display – right monitoring areaWarning indicators, signal tones, distances
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
authorized Porsche dealer.
Note on operation
If the obstacle is approached even closer after the
continuous tone sounds and the second red light
segment lights up, the system may not be able to
recognize the obstacle any longer.

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.

Minor Repairs
287
Parking at the curb
Danger!
Hard impacts against curbs (or traffic
islands) are dangerous and may cause hid-
den tire damage which is not noticeable until
later. Such damage can result in accidents at
high speeds causing serious personal injury
or death. Depending on the force of impact,
the edge of the rim can also be damaged.
fIf you are in doubt, have the wheel checked by
an expert, particularly if you suspect damage
on the inside.
fIf you must drive over a curb or other obstacle,
drive slowly and at an obtuse angle. Exercise care when parking along curbs.
Maintenance Note
Tire repairs are not permissible under any circum-
stances.
Wheel alignment, wheel balancingAs a precaution, have wheels with summer tires
balanced in the spring, and those with mud and
snow tires before winter. Unbalanced wheels may
affect car handling and tire life.
Only the specified weights may be used for wheel
balancing. Self-adhesive weights must not come into contact
with cleaning agents, since they could drop off.
Uneven tread wear indicates wheel imbalance. In
this event, the vehicle should be checked at an
authorized Porsche dealer.
Danger!
If, during a trip, uneven running or vibrations
occur that could be caused by damage to
tires or the car, the speed must be reduced
immediately, but without braking sharply. If
you continue your trip without having the
cause of the fault remedied, you might lose
control of your vehicle which could cause
serious personal injury or death.
fStop the vehicle and check the tires.
fIf no cause for the fault can be found, drive ca-
refully to the nearest authorized Porsche dea-ler.
Wheels with Tire Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) sensorsBefore changing wheels, make sure that the
wheels are compatible with your vehicle’s TPM.
fCheck this with your authorized Porsche dea-
ler.
Removing and storing tiresfAfter changing, adjust tire pressure and torque
wheel bolts diagonally.
Please see the chapter “CHANGING WHEELS”
on Page 294.
fStore tires in a cool and dry place. Rotate peri-
odically to avoid flat spots.
fAvoid contact with petrol, oil and grease.
Tires must always remain on the same side of
the vehicle.
When wheels are removed, the direction of
rotation and position of each wheel should be
marked.
Example
FR (front right), FL, RR and RL.
Wheels must always be fitted in accordance with
their marking.
The perception that tire durability and perfor-
mance are not affected by storage and age is
unfounded.
Chemical additives, which make the rubber elas-
tic, lose their effectiveness over the course of
time and the rubber becomes brittle and cracks.
Therefore, the tires, especially the spare tire,
should be inspected from time to time.
