Danger!
The seat may move unexpectedly if you at-
tempt to adjust while driving. This could
cause sudden loss of control or personal in-
jury.
fDo not adjust seats while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.The backrest locks must be engaged at all
times while the vehicle is in motion.
Safety belts only offer protection when the
backrest is upright and the belts are properly
positioned on the body. Improperly posi-
tioned safety belts can cause serious person-
al injury or death in an accident.

Seat positionA correct sitting position is important for safe and
fatigue-free driving. We recommend the following
procedure for adjusting the driver’s seat to suit
individual requirements:
1. Adjust the seat height to give yourself enough
headroom and a good overview of the vehicle.
2. Adjust the seat until, with the accelerator pedal
fully depressed, your leg is straight but your
entire foot still rests on the accelerator pedal.
3. Grip the top half of the steering wheel. Set the
backrest angle and steering wheel position so
that your arms are almost outstretched.
However, your shoulders must still rest on the
backrest.
4. If necessary, correct the seat fore-and-aft
adjustment.
5. Adjust the height of the headrest so that the
upper edge is at eye level or higher.

Front ultrasound sensorsSensors
Six ultrasound sensors in the front and rear
bumpers measure the distance to the closest ob-
stacle.
– Range of outer sensors
(front and rear):
approx. 24 in. or 60 cm
– Range of front middle sensors (arrow):
approx. 48 in. or 120 cm
Rear ultrasound sensors– Range of rear middle sensors (arrow)
(only in vehicles without spare wheel bracket):
approx. 59 in. or 150 cm
– Range of rear middle sensors
(only in vehicles with spare wheel bracket):
approx. 48 in. or 120 cm
Obstacles cannot be detected in the "blind" sensor
area (above and below the sensors).Maintenance note
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 recognise obstacles near the ground at terrain
level or special terrain level.
