ParkAssist
When the driver is parking and maneuvering the vehicle, ParkAssist indicates the distance between the vehicle and a large obstacle by means of signal tones.fOn vehicles with front and rear sensors:For information on the ParkAssist visual display, please refer also to the section “PARKASSIST” in the operating instructions for the Porsche Communication Systems PCM/CDR.
ParkAssist is activated automatically when reverse gear is selected and the ignition is on.
If the vehicle has front ParkAssist, this also issues an automatic warning when the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle in front is less – than approx. 40 in./100 cm (acoustically) and approx. 32 in./80 cm (visually).
A warning signal sounds when – the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle at the rear is less than approx. 71 in./180 cm.The ParkAssist visual display appears on the central screen of the Porsche communication system.
Front and rear ParkAssist is not activated: – At a speed of more than approx. 9 mph (15 km/h).– When the electric parking brake is activated.– When the ParkAssist has been switched off with button A in the overhead console with the ignition switched on. The indicator light in button A lights up.
Responsibility for parking and for assessing the risk to persons, children, pets, and small objects around the vehicle lies completely with the driver. fMake sure that no persons (especially small children), animals or obstacles are within the maneuvering area. fIf the continuous tone sounds, stop and do not move your vehicle further in that direction.
Ultrasound sensors
Sensors
The ultrasound sensors A in the rear bumper and the sensors A in the front bumper (depending on vehicle equipment) measure the distance to the closest obstacle:– Range behind the vehicle: approx. 71 in. (180 cm)– Range at the side of the vehicle: approx. 24 in. (60 cm)– Range in front of the vehicle: approx. 47 in. (120 cm)
Obstacles cannot be detected in the “blind” sensor area (above and below the sensors, e.g. objects hanging down or close to the ground).

Ultrasound sensors
Maintenance notes
fThe sensors must always be kept free of dust, ice and snow in order to ensure that they are fully functional.fDo not damage sensors by abrasion or scratching.fMaintain sufficient distance when cleaning with high-pressure cleaning equipment.The sensors will be damaged if the pressure is too high.
Signal tones/function
When reverse gear is selected, ParkAssist confirms that it is switched on by issuing a short signal tone .
If the vehicle has front ParkAssist, no signal tone will be issued when reverse gear is selected.Instead, the ParkAssist visual display will appear on the central screen of the Porsche communication system.
A detected obstacle is signaled by an intermittent tone . The intervals decrease as the obstacle is approached.
If the distance drops to less than approx. 12 in. (30 cm), a continuous tone sounds.fSet the radio volume so that the signal tones are not drowned out.
The volume of the signal tones can be changed individually.
For information on changing the signal tone volume:fPlease see the chapter “ADJUSTING PARKASSIST VOLUME” on page 126.
Even when using ParkAssist, the driver is still responsible for taking due care when parking and when assessing obstacles.A continuous tone sounds when there is a risk of collision.fDo not drive rearward any further once a continuous tone sounds.
Limits of ultrasonic measurement
– ParkAssist cannot detect sound-absorbing obstacles (e.g. winter driving, powder snow, clothing made from fabric or fur),– sound-reflecting obstacles (such as glass surfaces and flat painted surfaces),– and very thin obstacles (e.g. thin posts).
Other ultrasound sources (e.g. pneumatic brakes of other vehicles, sweeping machines and jack hammers) can interfere with the detection of obstacles.

Deactivating ParkAssist
On vehicles with front and rear ParkAssist, the ParkAssist function can be deactivated manually.fPress button A on the overhead operating console.The indicator light in the button lights up.ParkAssist is switched off.
Display due to environmental factors
Correct operation is no longer guaranteed if there is a temporary fault (e.g. caused by ice formation or heavy soiling on the sensors).
Depending on the environmental factor, it is possible that a stop warning with acoustic warning or a warning triangle without acoustic warning is displayed on the central screen of the Porsche communication system.
ParkAssist is ready for operation again when the interference has been eliminated.
In the event of a permanent fault in ParkAssist, a continuous tone sounds for three seconds after reverse gear has been selected.
On vehicles with front and rear sensors only: In the case of a sensor problem, a warning triangle appears in the monitoring area for the relevant bumper and a continuous tone sounds for three seconds.
Possible cause: – Defect or system fault.fHave the fault corrected. Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
Reversing Camera
The reversing camera is located between the number plate lights in the bumper ( illustration).fPlease refer to the chapter “REVERSING CAMERA” in the separate PCM/CDR operating instructions.fAlways keep the reversing camera clean and free of ice and snow so that vision is not impaired.
For car care instructions:fPlease see the chapter “CAR CARE INSTRUCTIONS” on page 231.

Garage Door Opener HomeLink®
(Universal Remote Control)
With the HomeLink® of your Porsche, a wide range of remote-controlled equipment (e.g. garage door/gate to your property, security systems, house lights) can be activated from inside the vehicle.
The HomeLink® system replaces up to three different original remote controls. The signal for a remote control can be assigned to one of the three memory buttons I, II and III on the overhead operating console keypad. The respective equipment can then be operated using the programmed memory button.
Transmission of the signal is indicated by the indicator light in the button II.
Information
fPlease read the instructions for the original remote control.fInformation on the compatibility of your vehicle’s HomeLink® system with the original remote control can be obtained from your authorized Porsche dealer, on the HomeLink® website (www.homelink.com) or by calling the free HomeLink® hotline (1-800-355-3515).
When opening and closing the equipment being operated, parts of the body could become trapped or crushed.fWhen using the garage door opener, make sure that no persons or animals are within the range of movement of the equipment that is being operated.fObserve the safety notes for the original remote control.
Information
fWhen the button is pressed, the transmitter unit sends the signal forward in direction of travel.Always align the vehicle with the receiver.Otherwise, range restrictions cannot be ruled out.fBefore selling the vehicle, delete the programmed signals for the garage door opener on the keypad. fIf the equipment cannot be operated after the initial programming, check whether the original remote control has fixed or changeable code.To find this out, read the instructions for the original remote control.
