be installed at your authorized Porsche dealer.
fOnly use accessories authorized by Porsche.
Warning!
Risk of short circuit and fire, resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
Replacing fuses or relays with the engine
running or the ignition on could cause elec-
trical shock.
fDisconnect the negative terminal on the
battery during all work on the electrical
system.
Please see the chapter “BATTERY” on Page 261.
RelaysDefective relays should be changed only by an
authorized workshop.
In storage tray between the front seatsSocketsElectrical accessories should preferably be
connected to the 12 V sockets.

the cigarette lighter.
In the passenger’s footwellNote on operation
The sockets and thus the connected electrical
accessories function even if the ignition is
switched off or the ignition key is withdrawn.
If the engine is not running and the accessories
are switched on, the vehicle battery will be dis-
charged.
Do not operate additional accessories for more
than 5 minutes when engine is off. Continuing to

Replacing fuses In order to prevent damage to the electrical sys-
tem due to short circuits and overloads, the indi-
vidual circuits are protected by fuses.
The fuse box is located in the driver’s footwell.
A - Plastic gripper
B - Spare fuses 1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse.
2. Pull off plastic cover at the finger hole (arrow).
The fuse plan and instructions for
emergency unlocking of the luggage
compartment lid can be found on the inner
side of the cover.
3. Remove the corresponding fuse from its slot
using the plastic gripper A in order to check it.
A blown fuse can be identified by the melted
metal strip.4. Replace only with fuses of the same rating.
We recommend using genuine Porsche fuses
for replacement.
Note
fIf a fuse blows repeatedly consult an author-
ized Porsche dealer.
fNever try to “repair” fuses: you may cause se-
rious damage to other parts of the electrical
system.
