Operation, Safety

Never invite car theft! An unlocked car with the key in the ignition lock
invites car theft.
A steering wheel lock and a gong alarm are
standard equipment in your Porsche.
The gong alarm will sound if you open the driver’s
door while the key is still in the ignition lock. It is
your reminder to pull the key out of the ignition
lock and to lock the doors.
Warning!
Any uncontrolled movement of the vehicle
may result in property damage, serious
personal injury or death.
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the
key in the ignition lock, especially if children
and/or pets are left unattended in the
vehicle. They can operate power windows
and other controls. If the engine is left
running, they may accidentally engage the
shift lever. Serious personal injury or death
could result from loss of control of the
vehicle.
fAlways remove the ignition key.
fAlways set the parking brake.
fLock the doors with the remote control.
Warning!
Risk of a serious accident.
The steering column will lock when you
remove the key while you are driving or as
the car is rolling to a stop. You will not be
able to steer the car.
Serious personal injury or death could result
from loss of control of the vehicle.
fNever remove the key from the steering lock while you are driving. To protect your vehicle and your possessions
from theft, you should always proceed as
follows when leaving your vehicle:
fClose windows.
fRemove ignition key.
fEngage steering lock.
fLock glove compartment.
fRemove valuables (e.g. car documents, cell
phones, house keys) from the car.
fLock doors.

Operation, Safety
Keys fPlease see the chapter “ALARM SYSTEM,
PASSENGER COMPARTMENT MONITORING”
on Page 26.
fPlease see the chapter “CENTRAL LOCKING”
on Page 22.
Two car keys are supplied with your Porsche.
These keys operate all the locks on your vehicle.
fBe careful with your car keys: do not part with
them except under exceptional circumstances.
fTo avoid battery run-down, always remove the
ignition key from the ignition lock. Emergency operationfPlease see the chapter “EMERGENCY OPERA-
TION – PULLING OUT THE IGNITION KEY” on
Page 69.
Replacement keys Replacement car keys can be obtained only from
your authorized Porsche dealer, and this can
sometimes be very time-consuming.
You should therefore always keep a spare key on
your person.
Keep it in a safe place (e.g. wallet), but under no
circumstances in or on the vehicle.
The key codes of new keys have to be “reported”
to the car control unit by your authorized Porsche
dealer.
A total of 6 car keys can be reported to the control
unit.
Disabling key codes
If a key is lost, the key codes can be disabled by
an authorized Porsche dealer.
All the remaining car keys are required for this
purpose.
Disabling the code ensures that the car can be
started only using authorized keys.
Note
fPlease note that the other locks can still be
opened with the disabled key.
Immobilizer There is a transponder (an electronic component)
in the key grip, containing a stored code.
When the ignition is switched on, the ignition lock
checks the code.
The immobilizer can be deactivated and the
engine started only using an authorized ignition
key.
Switching off the immobilizer
fInsert the ignition key into the ignition lock.
If the ignition is left on for more than 2 minutes
without the engine being started, the immobilizer
is switched on again.
fIf this happens, turn the ignition key back to
position 3 (ignition off) before starting the
engine. The immobilizer is deactivated again,
and the engine can be started.
fPlease see the chapter “IGNITION/STARTER
SWITCH WITH ANTI-THEFT STEERING LOCK”
on Page 67.
Switching on the immobilizer
fRemove ignition key.

switches off after 7 daysIf the vehicle is not started or unlocked with the
remote control within 7 days, the remote control
standby function is switched off (to prevent

be synchronized.
Carrying out the synchronization

door lock.
2. Open driver’s door and insert the ignition key
into the ignition lock within 10 seconds to
prevent the alarm system from being
