opened while the lights (not the parking light or
Welcome Home lighting) are on, a chime warns of
possible battery discharge.
In some countries, differences are possible
due to provisions of law.

Further individual light functions (e.g. daytime driv-
ing lights) are available in vehicles with the Sport
Chrono Plus package.

Welcome Home LightingSwitching onfMove light switch to the HOME position.
For improved visibility and security when you get
in and out of the car, the fog lights and the tail
lights remain on for a certain period of time:
–When you get out of the car, the lights are
turned on for approx. 30 seconds after the
door is opened. The off-delay time resumes
when the vehicle is locked.
On vehicles with the Sport Chrono Plus
package, the PCM can be used to set the off-
delay time. This setting also changes the
lighting period for unlocking the vehicle.
Please observe the chapter “Individual
Memory” in the separate PCM operating
instructions.
The lights are turned on for approx. 30 seconds
when the vehicle is unlocked.
The lights go out if the ignition is switched on or
when leaving the Welcome Home lighting
If the ignition key is withdrawn and the door is ope-
ned while the lights (not the parking light left/right)
are on, a gong warns of possible battery dis-
charge.
In some countries, differences are possible
due to provisions of law.
Automatic Headlight Beam
Adjustment Vehicles with Litronic headlights feature auto-
matic headlight beam adjustment.
When the ignition is switched on, the level of the
headlight beam automatically changes in accord-
ance 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.
The level of the low beam rises perceptibly
when the high beam is switched on.
If these test items are not met, the headlight beam
adjustment must be checked by an authorized
Porsche dealer.

1, 2, 3 - Programmable buttons
A- Light-emitting diode for status identificationHomeLinkThe programmable HomeLink replaces up to three
original hand-held transmitters used to operate
various devices (e.g. garage door, gate to the
property, alarm system).
You can program buttons 1 to 3 with a frequency
of an original handheld transmitter.
Warning!
Risk of accident when using the HomeLink if
persons, animals or objects are within the
range of movement of the equipment that is
being operated.
fWhen using the HomeLink, ensure that no
persons, animals or objects are within the
range of movement of the equipment that is
being operated.
fObserve the safety notes for the original hand-held transmitter.
Preconditions for operating and
programming the HomeLink:
– Ignition is switched on.
– Fog lights are switched off.
To operate the respective device:
fPress the appropriate button (1, 2 or 3).
Light-emitting diode A lights up during signal
transfer.Note on operation
fAlways use the HomeLink opener in the
direction of travel.
Otherwise, range restrictions cannot be ruled
out.
fBefore selling the vehicle, delete the
programmed signals of the HomeLink.
fPlease read the instructions for the original
hand-held transmitter to find out whether the
original transmitter is equipped with fixed or
changeable code.

Allocating signals to the buttonsfPlease follow the operating instructions for the
original hand-held transmitter.
Prior to programming the HomeLink for the
first time
The following process deletes the standard codes
set at the factory. Do not repeat the process if you
program further buttons.
fKeep the two outer buttons 1 and 3
depressed for approx. 20 seconds until light-
emitting diode A begins to flash quickly.
All programmed signals of buttons 1 to 3 are
deleted.HomeLink with fixed code system
1. Press the desired button until the light-emitting
diode begins to flash slowly.
You then have approx. 5 minutes to perform
steps 2 and 3.
2. Hold the original hand-held transmitter approx.
0 to 12 in. (0 to 30 cm) in front of the marked
position (figure) on the vehicle.
3. Press the transmit button on the original hand-
held transmitter until the fog lights flash three
times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to allocate other buttons.
Note
Several attempts with different distances between
the vehicle and the original hand-held transmitter
might be necessary.
The fog lights will flash once the 5 minutes have
been exceeded. Programming must be repeated
from the beginning.HomeLink with changeable code system
1. Allocate the required keys as for the systems
with fixed code (steps 1 to 3).
2. To synchronize the system:
Press the programming button on the receiver
for the garage door actuator.
Afterwards, you usually have approx.
30 seconds to initiate step 3.
3. Press the allocated HomeLink button twice.
(With some devices, the button to be allocated
must be pressed a third time in order to
complete the setting process.)
4. Repeat the programming steps to allocate
other buttons.
Note
fPlease consult an authorized Porsche dealer if
you have not been able to successfully allocate
signals for the garage door opener to the
buttons even though you have carefully
followed the instructions in this chapter and
the operating instructions for the original hand-
held transmitter.

To reprogram a single button:
1. Press the desired button until the
light-emitting diode begins to flash slowly
(approx. 20 seconds).
You then have approx. 5 minutes to perform
steps 2 and 3.
2. Hold the original hand-held transmitter approx.
0 to 30 cm in front of the marked position
(figure) on the vehicle.
3. Press the transmit button on the original
hand-held transmitter until the fog lights flash
three times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to allocate other buttons.

Several attempts with different distances between
the vehicle and the hand-held transmitter might be
necessary.
The fog lights will flash once the 5 minutes have
been exceeded. Programming must be repeated
from the beginning in this case.Deleting programmed signals of the
HomeLink
(e.g., when selling the vehicle)
Keep the two outer buttons 1 and 3 depressed
for approx. 20 seconds until light-emitting diode A
begins to flash quickly.
All programmed signals of buttons 1 to 3 are
deleted.
