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:
– The battery in the original hand-held trans-
mitter must be new.
– Ignition is switched on.
– Daytime driving 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.
fAlways fit new batteries in your hand-held trans-
mitter before programming the transmitter.
Allocating signals to the buttonsfPlease follow the operating instructions for the
original hand-held transmitter.
Clearing factory settings prior to program-
ming 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.

Operation, Safety Programming HomeLink with fixed code
hand-held transmitters
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 daytime driving lights
flash three times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to allocate other buttons.Note
Programming HomeLink with changeable
code hand-held transmitters
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 daytime driving lights
flash three times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. 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 5.
5. 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.)
6. Repeat the programming steps to allocate
other buttons.Note
Several attempts with different distances between
the vehicle and the original hand-held transmitter
might be necessary.
The daytime driving lights will flash once the 5
minutes have been exceeded. Programming must
be repeated from the beginning.
fPlease consult your 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.
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.

Instruments, On-Board Computer, Warnings Stage 2 – Flat tire
At speeds below 100 mph (160 km/h):
The pressure in the tire has dropped by more
than 7 psi (0.5 bar). This significant pressure
loss is a danger to road safety.
At speeds above 100 mph (160 km/h):
The pressure in the tire has dropped by more
than 5 psi (0.4 bar). This significant pressure
loss is a danger to road safety.
fWhen the tire pressure warning appears, stop
immediately at a suitable location. Check the
indicated tire for signs of damage. If neces-
sary, fill in tire 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 learningThe Tire Pressure Monitoring begins to “learn” the
wheels after a wheel change, wheel transmitter
replacement or update of the tire settings. During
this process, the Tire Pressure Monitoring recog-
nizes the tires and their locations.
The on-board computer displayes the message
“TPM is learning, monitoring not act.”.
The 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 on-board-computer:
– The tire pressure warning light remains lit until
all wheels have been learned.
– The display of the tire pressure function of the
on-board computer shows lines.
– The required pressures for cold tires at 68 °F
(20 °C) are indicated in the Info pressure
display in the tire pressure menu.
Position and pressure information is displayed as
soon as the Tire Pressure Monitoring has as-
signed the wheels identified as belonging to the
vehicle to the correct wheel positions.
The wheel learning process takes place
exclusively when the vehicle is being driven
(vehicle speed above 25 km/h (16 mph)).
fCheck the tire pressure for all wheels on the
“Info pressure” display.
fCorrect the tire pressure to the required
pressure if necessary.
