Monitoring is not active when:
– the tire pressure monitoring is faulty,
– wheel transmitters for the tire pressure
monitoring are not present,
– temporarily after changing a wheel,
– has detected too many wheel transmitters,
– there is external interference by other radio
sources, e.g., wireless headphones,
– Tire temperatures are too high.

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. (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 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 author-
ized 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.

Car Audio Operation/TipsFor radio operation see your radio manual
which is included with your on-board litera-
ture.FM receptionA vehicle is not an ideal place to listen to a radio.
Because the vehicle moves, reception conditions
are constantly changing.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and noise from
other vehicles are all working against good recep-
tion.
Some conditions affecting FM may appear to be
problems when they are not.
The following characteristics are completely nor-
mal for a given reception area, and they do not in-
dicate any problem with the radio itself.
Note
Electronic accessories should only be installed by
your authorized Porsche dealer.
Equipment which has not been tested and ap-
proved by Porsche may impair radio reception.Fading and drifting
FM range is limited to about 25 miles (40 km), ex-
cept for some high power stations.
If a vehicle is moving away from the desired sta-
tion's transmitter, the signal will tend to fade and/
or drift. This condition is more prevalent with FM
than AM, and is often accompanied by distortion.
Fading and drifting can be minimized to a certain
degree by careful attention to fine tuning or selec-
tion of a stronger signal.
Static and fluttering
When the line-of-sight link between a transmitter
and vehicle is blocked by large buildings or moun-
tains, the radio sound may be accompanied with
static or fluttering because of the characteristic of
FM.
In a similar effect, a fluttering noise is sometimes
heard when driving along a tree-lined road.
This static and fluttering can be reduced by adjust-
ing the tone control for greater bass response un-
til the disturbance has passed.Multipath
Because of the reflecting characteristics of FM, di-
rect and reflected signals may reach the antenna
at the same time (multipath) and cancel each other
out.
As a vehicle moves through these electronic dead
spots, the listener may hear a momentary flutter
or loss of reception.
Station swapping
When two FM stations are close to each other, and
an electronic dead spot, such as static or multip-
ath area, interrupts the original signal, sometimes
the stronger second signal will be selected auto-
matically until the original one returns.
This swapping can also occur as you drive away
from the selected station and approach another
station of a stronger signal.

Car Telephone and Aftermarket Alarms Important legal and safety information re-
garding the use of cellular telephones
Some states may prohibit the use of cellular tele-
phones while driving a vehicle. Check the laws and
regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the
areas where you drive.
Danger!
Risk of an accident.
Severe personal injury or death can result in
the event of an accident.
Looking away from the road or turning your
attention away from your driving can cause
an accident and serious personal injury or
death.
When using your cellular telephone, you should al-
ways:
fGive full attention to your driving - pull off the
road and park before making or answering a
call if traffic conditions so require; and
fKeep both hands on the steering wheel - use
hands-free operation (if available) - pull off the
road and park before using a hand-held tele-phone.It is essential to observe the instructions of
the telephone manufacturer before putting
the telephone into operation.
Any portable telephone or radio transmitter which
is used in a Porsche must be properly installed in
accordance with the technical requirements of
Porsche.
The transmission power must not exceed
10 W.
The devices must possess a type approval for
your vehicle and have an “e“ symbol.
If you should require equipment with transmission
power values greater than 10 W, please consult
your authorized Porsche dealer for this purpose.
He is familiar with the technical requirements for
installing devices of this kind.
The antennas for all radios and telephones with a
transmitting antenna must be externally mounted.
The improper installation of radios or telephones
or use of a radio or telephone with a transmitting
antenna inside the car may cause the warning
lights to come on.
Improper installation of such equipment can cre-
ate a discharged battery or excessive current
draw from added equipment.If aftermarket systems are installed by non-dealer-
ship technicians or outside the selling dealer,
problems may result. Installation of aftermarket
equipment is not covered under the New Car War-
ranty.
fConsult your authorized Porsche dealer about
the installation of non Porsche approved equip-
ment.
Reception quality
The reception quality of your car telephone will
change constantly when you are driving. Interfer-
ence caused by buildings, landscape and weather
is unavoidable. It may become particularly difficult
to hear when using the hands-free function due to
external noise such as engine and wind noise.
Automatic car-wash
fUnscrew external antennas before using an au-
tomatic car-wash.

Management (PCM)
Warning!
There is a danger of accident if you set or
operate the on-board computer, radio, navi-
gation system, telephone or other equipment
when driving.
This could distract you from the traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle re-
sulting in serious personal injury or death.
fOperate the components while driving only if
the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
fCarry out any complicated operating or setting
procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
fIf it is necessary to operate these components
while the vehicle is in motion, use the function keys on the multi-functional steering wheel.
fRefer to the separate operating instructions
before putting the PCM into operation.When put into operation for the first time, a dis-
tance of approx. 3 miles (5 km) must be driven in
order for the navigation system to complete the
process of fine calibration. The same applies
when the tires are changed (e.g. summer/winter
tires) or new tires fitted.
Full location accuracy is not yet achieved during
the fine-calibration process.
If the vehicle has been transported (e.g. ferry, car
train), the system may take a few minutes after be-
ing switched on before it determines the current
location.
Serious tire slip (e.g. spinning wheels on snow)
may result in temporarily inaccurate navigation.
When the battery has been disconnected, it may
take up to 15 minutes before the navigation
system is operational once more.
Satellite radioYou must have the satellite radio activated before
you can put it into operation. You will need a con-
tract with a provider in order to use this radio.
fRefer to the separate radio operating instruc-
tions before putting into operation.

will not be triggered.
3. Check if the TAILGATE function is activated in
the multi-purpose display of the instrument
panel.
