Electrical System
In order to avoid damage and faults in electrical or electronic systems, electrical accessories should be installed at an authorized Porsche dealerfUse only accessories approved by Porsche.
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.fPlease see the chapter “BATTERY (12 VOLT)” on page 271.
Relays
Relays should be checked or changed only at an authorized workshop.
Changing fuses
In order to prevent damage to the electrical system due to short circuits and overloads, the individual circuits are protected by fuses.
The fuse boxes are located in the side walls of the driver’s and passenger’s footwell respectively. 1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse. 2. Detach the appropriate plastic cover at the finger hole.3. Remove the relevant fuse (see fuse assignment) from its slot using the yellow plastic gripper A (left fuse box) 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. Spare fuses can be found in the left-hand fuse box, next to the yellow plastic gripper.We recommend that you use genuine Porsche fuses for replacement.
Information
If a fuse blows repeatedly, the cause of the fault must be corrected immediately.fPlease contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
