Electrical System In order to avoid damage and faults in electrical or
electronic systems, electrical accessories should
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
electrical shock.
fDisconnect the negative terminal on the
battery during all work on the electrical
system.
Please see the chapter “BATTERY” on Page 211.
RelaysDefective relays should be changed only by an
authorized workshop.
In storage tray between the seatsSocketsElectrical accessories should preferably be
connected to the 12 V sockets.
fPlease observe the maximum power
consumption.
Notes on operation
The tire filling compressor must be connected to
the cigarette lighter.
The sockets and thus the connected electrical
accessories function even if the ignition is
switched off or the ignition key is withdrawn.
In the passenger’s footwellIf the engine is not running and the accessories
are switched on, the vehicle battery will be
discharged.
Do not operate additional accessories for more
than 5 minutes when engine is off. Continuing to
do so may drain the battery such that it may go
completely dead.
Maximum power consumption for both
sockets together: 70 W.
fPlease observe the power specifications from
the accessory manufacturer.

Winter operation The capacity and ability of the battery to store
power decreases at low outside temperatures.
Additionally, more power is consumed while
starting, and the headlights, heater, rear window
defogger, etc., are used more frequently.
fLet your Porsche dealer test the battery’s
capacity before winter sets in.
The battery will discharge more quickly if your
vehicle is not driven on a daily basis over a
distance of several miles. The more often you
drive your vehicle, and the longer the distance
driven on each trip, the more opportunity the
vehicle’s charging system will have to recharge the
batteries.
Replacing battery The service life of the battery is subject to normal
wear; it depends greatly on care, climatic condi-
tions, and driving conditions (distances, loads).
fOnly use an original Porsche battery, with the
correct part number, as a replacement.
fPlease observe the disposal instructions for
batteries.
Putting vehicle into operationAfter the battery is connected or after an comple-
tely discharged battery is charged, the multi-
functional PSM light lights up on the instrument
panel and a message appears on the on-board
computer to indicate a fault.
This fault can be remedied with a few simple
steps:
1. Start the engine.
2. With the vehicle stationary, perform a few
steering movements to the left and right and
then drive a short distance in a straight line
until the multifunctinal PSM light goes out and
the message on the on-board computer
disappears.
3. If the warnings do not disappear, then:
Drive carefully to the nearest authorized
Porsche dealer.
Have the fault remedied.
4. After the warnings disappear:
Stop the vehicle in a suitable place.
fPerform adaptation of the power windows:
Please see the chapter “STORING END
POSITION OF THE WINDOWS” on Page 29.
