Tire pressure warnings and
messagesThe tire pressure monitoring warns about loss in
pressure in two stages, depending on the amount
of pressure loss:
Stage 1 – Tire pressure too low message
(3 to 6 psi (0.2 to 0.4 bar) loss in pressure)
Stage 2 – Flat tire warning
(loss in pressure as of 6 psi (0.4 bar))
Warning!
Risk of accident. Tire damage may impair
road safety.
fStop the vehicle in a suitable place. Check the
tires for signs of damage and change them if necessary.
Example: If the tire pressure display shows
„– 3 psi“, you must increase the tire pressure by
3psi.
Tires lose air over time without a tire defect being
present. The tire pressure monitoring will then
issue a corresponding message or warning.
fCorrect the tire pressure.
Message indicating tire pressure lossThis message indicates a pressure loss of be-
tween 3 and 6 psi (0.2 and 0.4 bar) if the wheel
positions have not been identified.
This message appears when the vehicle is station-
ary and the ignition is switched on again.
fThe message is displayed for 10 seconds or
fPress RESET switch.
Note on operation
fCorrect the tire pressure at the next opportuni-
ty.

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 ambi-
ent 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 as-
sistant does not therefore absolve the driver
of responsibility for the correct operation of the
driving light.
The low beam is switched on automatically in the
following situations:
–Dusk
–Darkness
– Travelling through tunnels
– Rain (in conjunction with the rain sensor)
– Highway driving
Note on operation
Fog is not recognised.
fIn the event of fog, the driving light must be
switched on manually.
Warning!
Risk of accident due to driving without lights.
fAlways carefully monitor the automatic driving light control.
Off delay and door-surrounding lighting
Off delay and door-surrounding lighting are active
when the automatic driving light assistant is
switched on.
fPlease observe the chapter “DOOR-SURROUN-
DING LIGHTING” on Page 168.
fPlease observe the chapter “COMING HOME
FUNCTION (AUTO SHUT OFF DELAY)” on
Page 168.
Highway function
The light is switched on at speeds of over 87 mph
(140 km/h). If you are travelling slower than
40 mph (65 km/h), the driving light is switched off
after a delay of approx. 2 minutes, if the external
lighting conditions permit.
Rain function
The driving light is switched on after five seconds
of continuous wiper operation.
The driving light is switched off approx. 4 minutes
after the wipers have stopped.
Bi-Xenon main headlights with
dynamically controlled cornering lightThe Bi-Xenon main headlights are equipped with
an additional light in vehicles with a cornering
light. As a result of its particular positioning, the
additional light provides significantly better lane
lighting to the left and right of the main light beam.

ECON modeThe outside air that is flowing in does not dry up if
the air-conditioning compressor is switched off.
Warning!
Risk of accident due to hampered vision.
If the air-conditioning compressor is
switched off, the windows may mist up.
fDo not switch off the air-conditioning compres-sor in damp weather.
Switching air-conditioning compressor off
Whenever outside temperatures exceed 37.4°F
(3°C), the air-conditioning compressor is always
switched on in automatic mode.
The compressor can be switched off to save fuel,
but control comfort is then limited:
fPress ECON button N on the front control pan-
el. The air-conditioning compressor is
switched off.
Switching air-conditioning compressor on
fIf the interior temperature is too high:
Press ECON button N or
Press the AUTO button C.
Information on air-conditioning
compressorThe air-conditioning compressor:
– Can switch off briefly if engine is under an ex-
treme load to ensure sufficient engine cooling.
– Switches off automatically at temperatures be-
low approx. 37.4°F (3°C) and cannot be
switched on, even manually.
– Operates most effectively with windows
closed.
If the car has been in the sun for a long time,
however, it is a good idea to ventilate the inte-
rior briefly with the windows open.
Notes on operation
Depending on the outside temperature and humid-
ity, condensation can drip from the evaporator
and form a pool under the car.
This is normal and not a sign of leakage.
If uncooled air flows out when the lowest temper-
ature has been set (“LO”), switch off the air-condi-
tioning compressor and have the fault remedied at
an authorized Porsche dealer.
