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 as-
sistant, it is the responsibility of the driver to
switch on the driving light using the conventional
light switch in accordance with the relevant nation-
al 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
– 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 162.
fPlease observe the chapter “COMING HOME
FUNCTION (AUTO SHUT OFF DELAY)” on
Page 162.
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 af-
ter 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.

A- Instrument lighting knobWhen the light is switched on, the brightness of
the instrument illumination can be adjusted by
turning thumb wheel A.
Automatic Headlight Beam
AdjustmentVehicles with Bi-Xenon headlights feature
automatic headlight beam adjustment.
When the ignition and the low beam are switched
on, the level of the headlight beam automatically
changes in accordance with the vehicle load. The
level of the headlight beam is automatically kept
constant during acceleration and braking.
Checking operation
1. Switch the low beam on.
2. Switch ignition on.
The light beam first dips all the way down and
is then adapted to the vehicle load.
If this test point not satisfied, the headlight level-
ling adjustment must be checked by an authorized
Porsche dealer.
