Car Telephone and
Aftermarket Alarms Important legal and safety information
regarding 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 seri ous or fatal injury.
When using your cellular telephone, you should al-
ways:
f Give full attention to your driving - pull off the
road and park before making or answering a
call if traffic conditions so require; and
f Keep 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 telephone
manufacturer's instructions before operating
the telephone.
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.
The dealer is familiar with the technical require-
ments 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 tele phone 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.
f Consult 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
f Unscrew external antennas before using an au-
tomatic car-wash.

Warning!
Your vehicle has also be en equipped with a TPM
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system
is not operating properly.
The TPM malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the tellta-
le will flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indi cator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.
TPM malfuntions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPM from functioning properly.
Always check the TPM malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPM to continue to
function properly.
The warning light in the speedometer lights up:
– When a loss in pressure has been detected.
– When learning newly mounted wheels/wheel sensors, as long as the vehicle’s own wheels
have not yet been recognized. In the event of a defect in Tire Pressure Monitoring
or a temporary fault, the warning light in the
speedometer flashes for approx. one minute and
then remains continuously illuminated.
The tire pressure warning light in the instrument
panel goes out only when
the cause of the fault
has been rectified.
Partial monitoringMonitoring of the other wheels is continued if there
is a fault in one or two wheel transmitters.
– The tire pressure warning light lights up.
– The message “TPM partial monitoring” is displayed on the on-board computer.
– No tire pressures are displayed on the on- board computer for wheels with faulty wheel
transmitters.
No monitoringIn the event of faults the Tire Pressure Monitoring
cannot monitor the tire pressure.
The warning light in the speedometer flashes for
approx. one minute and then remains continuously
illuminated and a corresponding message
appears on the on-board computer.
Monitoring is not active when:
– the Tire Pressure Monitoring is faulty,
– wheel transmitters for the Tire Pressure Monitoring are missing,
– during the learning phase after the tire settings have been updated,
– after a wheel change without updating the tire settings,
– more than four wheel transmitters are detected,
– there is external interference by other radio sources, e.g. wireless headphones,
– tire temperatures are too high.
