Driving and Driving Safety
191
If aftermarket systems are installed by non-
dealership technicians or outside the selling
dealer, problems may result. Installation of
aftermarket equipment is not covered under the
New Car Warranty.
fConsult your authorized Porsche dealer about
the installation of non-Porsche approved
equipment.
Reception quality
The reception quality of your car telephone will
change constantly when you are driving.
Interference caused by buildings, landscape and
weather is unavoidable. It may become particu-
larly 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
automatic car-wash.
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM)
Warning!
There is danger of accident if you set or
operate the on-board computer, radio,
navigation system, telephone or other
equipment when driving.
This could distract you from traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
f Operate the components while driving only if
the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
f Carry out any complicated operating or setting
procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
f If it is necessary to operate these components
while the vehicle is in motion, use the function keys on the multi-functional steering wheel.
f Refer to the separate operating instructions
before putting the PCM into operation.
When put into operation for the first time, a
distance 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 tr
ansported (e.g. ferry, car
train), the system may ta ke a few minutes after
being 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 satellit e radio activated before
you can put it into operation. You will need a
contract with a provider in order to use this radio.
f Refer to the separate radio operating
instructions before putting into operation.
