Minor Repairs
Putting vehicle into operationAfter the battery is connected or after a
completely discharged batterie is charged, the
PSM warning light lights up on the instrument
panel and a message appears on the multi-
purpose display of the instrument panel to indicate
a fault.
This fault can be remedied with a few simple
steps:
1. Start the engine.
To do this, turn the ignition key or the control
unit (on vehicles that have Porsche Entry &
Drive) to ignition lock position 2 twice.
2. Perform a few steering movements and drive
a short distance in a straight line until the PSM
warning light goes out and the message is
erased from the memory of the multi-purpose
display of the instrument panel.
3. If the warnings does not go out, then:
Drive carefully to the nearest authorized
Porsche dealer.
Have the fault remedied by an authorized
Porsche dealer.
4. After the warnings disappear:
Stop the vehicle in a suitable place.
5. Perform adaptation of the power windows:
Please see the chapter “STORING FINAL POSI-
TION OF THE DOOR WINDOWS” on Page 90.6. On vehicles with tire pressure monitoring:
Please see the chapter “SETTING THE TIRE
TYPE AND SIZE” on Page 134.
7. On vehicles with Panorama roof system:
Please see the chapter “SAVE FINAL POSITION
OF THE PANORAMA ROOF SYSTEM” on
Page 99.
Replacing the remote control
batteryNote
fPlease dispose of batteries in compliance with
any and all government regulations.Car keyIf the battery in the remote control becomes too
weak, a warning will appear on the multi-purpose
display in the instrument panel. The battery should
be changed in this case.Changing the battery

Replacing Bulbs
Warning!
Danger of short circuit.
fAlways switch off the relevant consumer when
changing bulbs.
Risk of serious personal injury or death. The
headlights are under high voltage when
installed.
fExercise extreme caution when working in the
area of the headlights.
Risk of damage. Bulbs of a higher wattage
can damage the light housing.
fOnly use the bulbs specified in the bulb chart.
fBulbs must be clean and free from oil, grease
or fingerprints.
fNever touch bulbs with your bare hands.
Use a cloth or soft paper when replacing bulbs.
fAlways carry spare bulbs with you.
In certain countries, the carrying of spare
bulbs is mandatory.
Caution!
Risk of damage to headlights due to exces-
sive temperatures and abrasion.
fAttach no coverings (e.g. films, “stone
guards”) in the area of the headlights.
fUse soapy water only to clean light lenses and
plastic headlight lenses. In no case may chemi-
cal cleaners or other volatile cleaning fluids be
used.
fTo prevent scratches, do not rub with a dry or merely moist cloth, tissue or insect sponges.

Headlight AdjustmentfCheck tire pressure and adjust if necessary.
fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURES,
COLD (68 °F/20 °C)” on Page 354.
fPlease see the chapter “REPLACING BULBS”
on Page 326.Adjustment
The adjustment is made with the vehicle ready to
drive and the fuel tank completely filled.
T h e d r i ve r ' s s e a t m u s t b e l o a d e d b y a p e r s o n o r a
165lbs. (75kg) weight and the tire pressures must
meet the prescribed values. After being loaded,
the car must be rolled a few meters so that the
suspension can settle.
For checking the headlight adjustment, the verti-
cal position of the cutoff of the lowbeam (see fig.)
has to be projected on a vertical screen (wall) in
distance of 24.6 ft. (7.5 m) from the front lens of
the headlamp.The correct position of the cutoff is
3.0 in. (7.5 cm) at 24.6 ft. or 7.5 m (0.4°) below
a horizontal line, x cm from ground to the center
of the headlamp lens.
Lateral adjustment of the headlights should be
carried out at a specialist workshop with an optical
adjustment unit.
Distance
Visual aim shall be performed at not less than
24.6 ft. (7.5 m) (this value is a rounded down con-
version from the 25-foot distance typical of field
aim using a screen). The 24.6 ft. (7.5 m) distance
is measured from the headlamp lens to the
viewing screen.
Floor
The surface upon which the vehicle rests is flat
and approximately level.
Screen
The screen upon which headlamp beams are pro-
jected is perpendicular to the floor and the
vehicle's longitudinal axis, flat, uniformly light in
color, unobstructed, and wide and high enough to
accommodate the vehicle beam patterns to be
aimed.
The screen should be wide enough to provide at
least 3.3 ft. (1 m) of space outboard of the
vehicle's headlamp spacing.

Safety compliance stickerThe safety compliance sticker is your assurance
that your new Porsche complies with all applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards which
were in effect at the time the vehicle was manu-
factured.
The sticker also shows the month and year of pro-
duction and the vehicle identification number of
your car (perforations) as well as the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating.
Tire pressure plateThe tire pressure plate is attached to the left-hand-
door aperture.
The pressures shown on the tire pressure plate re-
fer to a fully loaded vehicle. In case the combined
weight of occupants and cargo does not exceed
260 kg or 573 lbs the pressures for ”PARTIALLY
LOADED“ may be used for greater driving com-
fort.
fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURES,
COLD (68 °F/20 °C)” on Page 354.
fPlease see the chapter “LOADING
INFORMATION” on Page 231.For setting “Partially Load”:
1. Correct the setting in the multi-purpose dis-
play.
