Keys fPlease see the chapter “ALARM SYSTEM, PAS-
SENGER COMPARTMENT MONITORING” on
Page 23.
fPlease see the chapter “CENTRAL LOCKING”
on Page 19.
Two car keys are supplied with your Porsche.
These keys operate all the locks on your vehicle.
fBe careful with your car keys: do not part with
them except under exceptional circumstances.
fTo avoid battery run-down, always remove the
ignition key from the ignition lock.
Replacement keys Replacement car keys can be obtained only from
your authorized Porsche dealer, and this can
sometimes be very time-consuming.
You should therefore always keep a spare key on
your person.
Keep it in a safe place (e.g. wallet), but under no
circumstances in or on the vehicle.
The key codes of new keys have to be “reported”
to the car control unit by your authorized Porsche
dealer.
A total of 6 car keys can be reported to the control
unit.
Disabling key codes
If a key is lost, the key codes can be disabled by
an authorized Porsche dealer.
All the remaining car keys are required for this pur-
pose.
Disabling the code ensures that the car can be
started only using authorized keys.
Note
fPlease note that the other locks can still be
opened with the disabled key.
Immobilizer There is a transponder (an electronic component)
in the key grip, containing a stored code.
When the ignition is switched on, the ignition lock
checks the code.
The immobilizer can be deactivated and the en-
gine started only using an authorized ignition key.
Switching off the immobilizer
fInsert the ignition key into the ignition lock.
If the ignition is left on for more than 2 minutes
without the engine being started, the immobilizer
is switched on again.
fIf this happens, turn the ignition key back to
position 3 (ignition off) before starting the
engine. The immobilizer is switched off again,
and the engine can be started.
fPlease see the chapter “IGNITION/STARTER
SWITCH WITH ANTI-THEFT STEERING LOCK”
on Page 74.
Switching on the immobilizer
fRemove ignition key.Security Wheel Bolts fIf wheels have to be removed during a work-
shop visit, do not forget to hand over the sock-
et for the security wheel bolts along with the
car key.

Your authorized Porsche dealer can program fur-
ther types of unlocking for the luggage compart-
ment/glass rear hatch (Targa).

Operation, Safety

The remote-control standby function
switches off after 7 daysIf the vehicle is not started or unlocked with the re-
mote control within 7 days, the remote control
standby function is switched off (to prevent dis-
charging of the vehicle battery).
1. In this case, unlock the driver’s door with the
key at the door lock.
Leave the door closed in order to prevent the
alarm system from being triggered.
2. Press button 1 on the remote control.
The remote control is now activated again and
the alarm system is switched off.
Operational readiness of the remote
control interruptedEncoded data is transmitted to the vehicle each
time the wireless remote control is operated. If the
remote control is operated too often outside the
range of the vehicle, this can result in the central
locking system no longer responding.
In this case, the remote control and vehicle must
be synchronized.
Carrying out the synchronization
1. Unlock the driver's door with the key at the
door lock.
2. Open driver’s door and insert the ignition key
into the ignition lock within 10 seconds to
prevent the alarm system from being
triggered.
3. With the key inserted, press and hold button 1
on the remote control for approx. 5 seconds.
The synchronization is now complete.

Operation, Safety
DoorsIf the door windows are closed, they will be auto-
matically opened by a few millimeters when the
doors are opened and, when the doors are closed,
they will be closed again. This makes it easier to
open and close the doors and protects the seals.
fTherefore, you should pull the door handle
slowly so that the door window can be lowered
before the door is opened.Opening doors from outside fUnlock vehicle with the remote control.
fSlowly pull door handle A.
Opening unlocked doors from inside fSlowly pull door handle B. Opening locked doors from inside fSlowly pull door handle B twice.
