Airbag SystemsThe Airbags in combination with the safety belts
makes up a safety system which offers the driver
and the passenger the best known protection
from injuries in case of accident.
Even if your vehicle is equipped with airbags, the
safety belts must be worn at all times,
because the front airbag system is only actuated
by frontal collisions with an impact of sufficient se-
verity.
Below the actuation threshold of the airbag sys-
tem, and during types of collisions which do not
cause the actuation of the system, the safety belts
provide the primary protection to the occupants
when correctly worn.
Therefore, all persons within the vehicle
must wear safety belts at all times (in many
states, state law requires the use of safety belts).
fPlease observe the chapter “SAFETY BELTS”
on Page 42.
Thefront airbags are located under the padded
steering wheel panel on the driver’s side and, on
the passenger's side, in the dashboard.
Theside airbags for the front seats are installed
on the side in the seat backrests.
Thehead airbags are installed above the doors
in the roof area.
FunctionThe front airbags are triggered during a frontal col-
lision of sufficient force.
In the event of a side impact of corresponding
force, the side airbag on the impact side is trig-
gered.
The inflation process generates the amount of gas
required to fill the airbags at the necessary pres-
sure in fractions of a second.
Airbags protect the face and upper body, while si-
multaneously damping the motion of the driver
and passenger in the impact direction in the event
of a frontal impact or side impact.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and
diagnostic module. This module will record the
use of the seat belt restraint system by the driver
and front passenger when the side airbags and
head airbags are inflated.
Danger!
To provide optimal occupant protection, air-
bags must inflate at very high speed. If you
are not wearing your safety belt or are too
close to the airbag when its deployed, inflat-
ing airbags can result in serious personal in-
jury or death.
fMake sure there are no people, animals or ob-
jects between the driver or passenger and the
area into which the airbag inflates.
fSit back as far from the dashboard or steering
wheel as is practical, while still maintaining full
vehicle control.
fDo not lean against the inside of the doors.
fAlways hold the steering wheel by the outer
rim. Never rest your hands on the airbag panel.
fNever transport heavy or sharp objects on or
in front of the passenger seat.
fAlways keep the lid of the door storage com-
partment closed. Objects must not protrude
out of the door storage compartment.
fGive your passenger all of the information in
this chapter.
fNo changes must be made to the wiring or
components of the airbag system.

Steering Wheel HeatingIf the interior temperature in the vehicle is lower
than +54°F (12°C) when the ignition is switched
on, the steering wheel heating is switched on au-
tomatically.
When this happens, the steering wheel adjusts to
a temperature of +73°F (23°C).
If the interior temperature rises above +71°F
(22°C) when the vehicle is operational, the steer-
ing wheel heating switches off again.

Brake system functionYour Porsche is equipped with a power assisted
hydraulic dual circuit brake system with disc
brakes at the front and rear.
Both circuits function independently. One brake
circuit operates the front left and rear right wheel
and the other operates the front right and rear left
wheel.
If one brake circuit has failed, the other will still op-
erate. However, you will notice an increased pedal
travel when you apply the brakes.Failure of one
brake circuit will cause the stopping distance to in-
crease.
Warning!
Risk of an accident. In the unlikely event of
hydraulic failure of one brake circuit:
fPush the brake pedal down firmly and hold it in
that position. A mechanical linkage activates
the second circuit, and you will be able to bring
the vehicle to a stop.
fAfter bringing your vehicle to a complete stop,
avoid driving the vehicle and instead have it
towed to the nearest authorized Porsche deal-er for repair.The warning light in the instrument panel lights up.
A message will be displayed on the multi-purpose
display of the instrument panel if the brake fluid
level is too low, or (if the brake pedal travel has in-
creased) one of the two brake circuits has failed.
A greater braking pressure will be required, stop-
ping distances will be longer and the braking be-
havior will change, particularly in curves.
With correctly adjusted brakes and a correctly
working brake system, the pedal travel to the
point of brake application should be 1-3/16 in. to
1-9/16 in. or 30 to 40 mm. Whenever the brake
pedal travel exceeds this value, have the brake
system checked.
Brake pedal
Warning!
Risk of an accident.
Any obstruction of the brake pedal could in-
crease the stopping distance.
fAlways check the movement of the brake pedal
before driving and make sure that it is not ob-
structed by a floor mat or any other object.
fSecure the floor mat to prevent it from sliding
into positions that could interfere with the safe
operation of your vehicle.
Your Porsche dealer will be glad to offer you
floor mats of the correct size including a secur-ing possibility.
Note
In case one of the two brake circuits fails, in-
creased pedal travel is required to bring your vehi-
cle to a full stop.

Tire PressureThe tire pressure monitoring system continuously
monitors tire pressure and tire temperature on all
four wheels and warns the driver when the tire
pressure is too low.
The display as well as the settings for tire
pressure monitoring are done on the multi-
purpose display in the TYRE PRESSURE menu.
However the tire pressure must be set manually
on the wheel.
The tire pressures to be monitored for tire type
are permanently set in the tire pressure
monitoring system and cannot be changed.
The driver is solely responsible for filling the tires
correctly and for selecting in the multi-purpose dis-
play.
Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death.
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure in-
creases increases risk of a tire failure and re-
sulting loss of control. Furthermore, low tire
pressure increases rate of wear of the affect-
ed tires.
fWhen a flat tire has been displayed, immediate-
ly stop in a suitable place and check the tires
for damage. If necessary remedy the damages
with a tire sealant.
fDo not by any means continue to drive with
leaking tires.
fDefective tires must be immediately replaced
by a specialist workshop.
Tyre repairs are not permissible under
any circumstances.
fSealing the tyre with the tyre sealant is only an
emergency repair, so you can drive to the next
workshop. The maximum permitted speed is
50 mph (80 km/h).
fDo not drive with tires whose tyre pressure
drops again in a short period of time. In cases
of doubt, have tires checked by a specialist
workshop.
fIf the tire pressure monitoring system is defec-
tive (e.g., defective wheel transmitter), contact
a specialist workshop immediately and have
the damages repaired.
The tire pressure will not be monitored by a
defective tire pressure monitoring system.fUse only the pressure differences shown in the
TYRE PRESSURE menu or from tyre pressure
messages or warnings when correcting the
tyre pressure.
fTires lose air over time without a tire defect be-
ing present. A tire pressure warning will then
appear in the multi-purpose display
Correct the tire pressure.
fThe tire pressure monitoring system gives a
warning about tyre damages due to insufficient
tyre pressure as well as about a gradual loss
of pressure due to foreign objects.
The tyre pressure monitoring system cannot
warn you about tyre damages occurring sud-
denly (e.g., flat tyre due to sudden external ef-
fects).
fIf a message is displayed, check the tire
pressure at the next opportunity.
fBefore fitting tires approved by Porsche which
are not stored in the on-board computer, the
missing information should be supplemented
in the on-board computer.
