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 ob-
stacle is still 48 in. or 120 cm (to the front) or
48 in. to 59 in. or 120 to 150 cm (to the rear)
away.
A brief signal tone sounds when reversing.
Anintermittent tone sounds when the distance
becomes less than approx. 24 in. or 60 cm. The
fourth yellow light segment lights up.
Acontinuous tone sounds when the distance be-
comes less than approx. 10 in. or 25 cm (on vehi-
cles with trailer coupling: approx. 14 in. or
35 cm). The second red light segment lights
up.
If the obstacle is approached even closer, the sys-
tem 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 ad-
justed to your own requirements at your autho-
rized 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.

Controls, Safety, Instruments Limits of ultrasonic measurement
– ParkAssist cannot detect sound-absorbing ob-
stacles (e.g. powder snow),
– Sound-reflecting obstacles (e.g. glass surfac-
es, 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
9 mph (14 km/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.
fPlease have the fault remedied at an autho-
rized Porsche dealer.Driving with a trailer
The ParkAssist rear monitoring area is switched
off when the trailer’s power supply is plugged in.
