Instrument Panel and Multi-Function Display
If necessary, fill in ti
re sealant and set the
correct tire pressure.
This tire pressure warning also appears when
driving and can be acknowledged.
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument
panel goes out only when the tire pressure has
been corrected.
System learningTire Pressure Monitoring begins to “learn” the
wheels after a wheel change, wheel transmitter
replacement or update of the tire settings . During
this process, Tire Pressu re Monitoring recognizes
the wheels and their locations.
The following message appears on the multi-
function display (example):
“No monitoring, system is learning”.
The wheel learning process takes place
exclusively when the vehicle is being driven
(vehicle speed above 16 mph (25 km/h)).
Tire Pressure Monitoring requires a certain
amount of time to learn the wheels. During this
time, the current tire pressures are not available
on the multi-function display:
– The tire pressure warning light remains lit until all wheels have been learned.
– Lines (-.-) appear on the display of the “Tire pressure” function. – The required pressures for cold tires (68 °F
(20 °C)) are indicated under “Fill info” in the tire
pressure menu.
Position and pressure information is displayed as
soon as Tire Pressure Monitoring has assigned
the wheels recognized as belonging to the vehicle
to the correct wheel positions.
f Check the tire pressure for all wheels under
“Fill info ”.
f Correct the tire pressure to the required
pressure if necessary.
Changing a wheel and replacing tiresfNew wheels must be fitted with radio
transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring.
Before tires are changed, the battery charge
condition of the wheel transmitters should be
checked.
Please contact a qualified specialist workshop.
We recommend that you have an authorized
Porsche dealer to do this work as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary
parts and tools.
f Switch off the ignition when changing a wheel.
The tire settings on the mu lti-function display must
be updated after changing a wheel.
If the tire settings are not updated, the message
“Tire change? Update settings!” is displayed on the
multi-function display.
f Update the multi-function display settings the
next time the vehicle is stationary.
Pressure increase as the result of
temperature increaseIn accordance with physical principles, the tire
pressure changes as the temperature
changes.The tire pressure increases or decreases
by 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) for
every 18 °F (10 °C) change in temperature.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 “Restricted monitoring” appears
on the multi-function display.
– No tire pressures are displayed on the multi-function display for wheels with faulty
wheel transmitters.

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.
