Light switch with driving light assistant Light switch without driving light assistant
Note on operation
If the ignition key is withdrawn and the door is
opened while the lights (not the parking light) are
on, an acoustic signal (gong) warns of possible
battery discharge.
In some countries, differences are possible
due to provisions of law.Automatic driving light assistantThe driving light assistant is a comfort function.
Your Porsche’s driving light (low beam) is switched
on and off automatically, irrespective of the
ambient brightness.
Despite possible support by the driving light assis-
tant, it is the responsibility of the driver to switch
on the driving light using the conventional light
switch in accordance with the relevant national
regulations.
Activating the headlights using the driving light
assistant does not therefore absolve the driver of
responsibility for the correct operation of the
driving light.
The low beam is switched on automatically in the
following situations:
–Dusk
– Darkness
– Travelling through tunnels
– Rain (in conjunction with the rain sensor)
– Highway driving
