Risk of engine damage.
The engine cooling does not function if the drive belt is torn.fDo not continue driving.fHave the fault corrected.fPlease contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
Check Engine
(Emission Control)
Warning light
The emission control system detects malfunctions that could cause increased pollutant emissions or consequential damage etc. well in advance.Faults are indicated by the warning light on the instrument panel which then either lights up continuously or flashes.The faults are recorded in the control unit’s fault memory.
The warning light on the instrument panel lights up when the ignition is switched on as a lamp check and goes out approx. 1 second after the engine starts.
The warning light on the instrument panel flashes to indicate operating states (e.g. engine misfiring) which may cause damage to certain parts of the emission control system.fIn this case, immediately reduce the engine load by easing off the accelerator pedal.
In order to avoid consequential damage to the engine or the exhaust-gas cleaning system (e.g. catalytic converter):fPlease contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
Risk of damage to the emission control system.
If the warning light on the instrument panel continues flashing even when you have eased off the accelerator pedal, the emission control system may overheat.fStop as soon as possible in a safe place.Make sure that combustible materials, such as dry grass or leaves, cannot come into contact with the hot exhaust system.fSwitch off the engine.fHave the fault corrected at an authorized Porsche dealer.

Warning light
The warning light in the instrument panel lights up: – When a loss in pressure has been detected (warning light: lights up continuously).– In the event of a defect in TPMS or a temporary fault (warning light: flashes for 60 seconds, then lights up continuously).– When learning new fitted wheels/wheel transmitters, as long as the vehicle’s own wheels have not yet been recognized (warning light: flashes for 60 seconds, then lights up continuously).
A warning message also appears on the multi- function display in the instrument panel.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument panel goes out only when the cause of the fault has been rectified.
Changing a wheel and replacing tires
fNew wheels must be fitted with radio transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Before tires are changed, the battery charge condition of the wheel transmitters should be checked.fPlease contact an authorized Porsche dealer.fSwitch off the ignition when changing a wheel.
The tire settings on the multi-function display must be updated after changing a wheel.If the tire settings are not updated, the message “Tire change? Update settings” is displayed on the multi-function display.fUpdate the multi-function display settings the next time the vehicle is stationary.
Pressure increase as the result of temperature increase
In accordance with physical principles, the tire pressure changes as the temperature changes.For every 18 °F (10 °C) change in temperature, the tire pressure increases or decreases by around 1.5 psi/0.1 bar/10 kPa.
Partial monitoring
Monitoring of the other wheels is continued if there is a fault in one or two wheel transmitters.– The tire pressure warning light lights up.– The message “Restricted monitoring” appears on the multi-function display.– No tire pressures are displayed on the multi-function display for wheels with faulty wheel transmitters.
No monitoring
In the event of faults, Tire Pressure Monitoring System cannot monitor the tire pressure. The warning light on the instrument panel lights up and a corresponding message appears on the multi-function display.
Monitoring is not active: – In the event of a defect in TPMS or if more than 2 wheel transmitters are defective.– If wheel transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring System are missing.– During the learning phase after the tire settings have been updated.– After a wheel change without updating the tire settings.– If more than four wheel transmitters are recognized.– If there is external interference by other radio sources, e.g. wireless headphones.– If tire temperatures are too high.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.

Diagnostic Socket
External equipment or devices (e.g. navigation units, head-up displays, etc.) connected to the diagnostic socket can impair the function of the vehicle systems.fDo not connect any equipment or devices to the diagnostic socket.
Loose equipment/devices or hanging cables in the driver's footwell can obstruct clearance around the pedals or become caught between the pedals when braking or changing direction.fDo not place any equipment/devices or cables in the driver's footwell.
The diagnostic socket is for connecting diagnostic equipment in qualified specialist workshops.
Operating external equipment or devices (e.g. navigation units, head-up displays, etc.) from the diagnostic socket when the ignition is switched off will run down the battery. If the vehicle is parked for an extended period, the battery can discharge fully and be damaged (exhaustive discharge).fDo not connect any equipment or devices to the diagnostic socket.
Ignition Lock
The ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock to the right of the light switch at the left of the steering wheel.
On vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive, you no longer have to insert the key into the ignition lock, but merely keep it with you. The ignition key is replaced by a control unit in the ignition lock, which always remains in the ignition lock, unless the vehicle is being towed.
The ignition lock has three key positions.
Key positions 0 - Initial position 1 - Ignition on 2 - Start engine
Information
The vehicle battery discharges if the ignition key is left inserted.
If the vehicle battery is dead, the key can only be removed from the ignition lock if the emergency operation is performed: fPlease see the chapter “EMERGENCY OPERATION – UNLOCKING THE IGNITION KEY/CONTROL UNIT” on page 28.
