Synchronizing the system
9. Activating the motor unit: Press the programming button on the receiver of the garage door opener.You then usually have approx. 30 seconds to initiate step 10 (a setting indicator is usually activated on the motor unit).10. Programming on the overhead operating console:Press the button you selected in step 3 three times on the overhead operating console keypad (you must press the button on the keypad several times to complete the setting process for some devices).11. Repeat steps 3 to 10 to assign signals to the other buttons.12. After completing programming on the overhead operating console, the system should recognize the HomeLink® signal and launch as soon as the memory button is pressed when the ignition is switched on.
Reprogramming an individual button on the keypad
A HomeLink® button can be individually reprogrammed without deleting the rest of the button assignments.
On the overhead operating console: 1. Switch on ignition. 2. Press and hold the button to be programmed on the overhead operating console keypad (approx. 20 seconds), until indicator light A on button II flashes slowly. You now have 5 minutes to teach the button.3. Stand in front of the vehicle with the original remote control of the system to be programmed.
In front of the vehicle: 4. Hold the original remote control approx. 12 in. (30 cm) away from the marked position ( illustration) and press and hold the transmit button (for more than approx. 1 minute in some cases) until the vehicle’s turn signal lights flash on and off three times or the indicator light A in the overhead operating console starts to flash quickly.The turn signal lights flash three times and the indicator light A flashes quickly to confirm that the new signal has been programmed successfully.Several attempts with different distances between the vehicle and the original remote control may be necessary.With some systems, the transmit button on the original remote control may need to be pressed again when the indicator light on the original remote control goes out.
5. The turn signal lights will flash once when the 5-minute teaching readiness period has elapsed.Repeat steps 1 to 4.6. Repeat steps 1 to 4 to assign further signals to the other buttons.
Information
fPlease consult an authorized Porsche dealer if you have not been able to successfully assign signals to the buttons even though you have carefully followed the instructions in this section and the operating instructions for the original remote control. Your authorized Porsche dealer has a list of all garage door opener signals that can be adapted.fMake sure that the battery in the remote control for the garage door opener is new. If the battery voltage is inadequate, faults may occur in signal transmission. The system in the vehicle then learns the wrong code, which will not be recognized reliably by the garage door opening mechanism.

Maintenance and Car Care 219
Exercise Extreme Caution when
Working on your vehicle
The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially hazardous area. If you are not fully familiar with proper repair procedures, do not attempt the adjustments described on the following pages.This caution applies to the entire vehicle.
Many vehicle fluids are highly flammable, e. g. fuel, engine and transmission oil. Fuel vapors can cause an explosion. When a battery is being charged, highly explosive gases can develop.fDo not smoke or allow an open flame around the battery or fuel.Pay attention to sparks, e. g. when coming into contact with cables.Keep a fire extinguisher close at hand.fEnsure that there are no open flames in the area of your vehicle at any time when fuel fumes might be present. Be especially cautious of devices such as hot water heaters which ignite a flame intermittently.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Refill fluids, e. g. engine oil, brake fluid or coolant are hazardous to health (poisonous, irritant, caustic).fKeep these fluids out of children's reach and dispose of them in accordance with the appropriate State, Local and Federal regulations.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled. Engine exhaust fumes have many components which you can smell. They also contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless and odorless gas.Carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and even death if inhaled.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
The engine and surrounding components, exhaust system and coolant become very hot when the engine is running.
The coolant reservoir is pressurized. Careless opening of the coolant reservoir can lead to hot coolant suddenly spraying out.
fTake care when working near hot parts of the vehicle, in particular engine parts and parts of the exhaust system.fBefore working in the engine compartment, always switch the engine off and let it cool sufficiently.fAllow the engine to cool down before opening the cap of the coolant reservoir and protect your hands, arms and face from any possible escape of hot coolant.
Take great care to ensure that hands, fingers, articles of clothing (e. g. ties, sleeves, etc.), necklaces or long hair cannot be caught up by the radiator fans, drive belt or other moving parts.
The radiator fans in the front of the vehicle may be operating or unexpectedly start operating when the engine is switched on.fExercise extreme care that parts of the body, articles of clothing or jewelry do not get caught in the radiator fan, drive belt or other moving parts.fCarry out work in these areas only with the engine off and exercise extreme caution.
When the ignition is on, all cables and wires of the ignition system carry a high voltage.fExercise special care when working on the ignition system.

226 Maintenance and Car Care
Undercoating
Additional undercoating or rust protection agents on or near the exhaust system can become too hot when driving and ignite, causing a fire.fDo not apply additional undercoating or rust protection agent on or near the exhaust manifolds, exhaust pipes, catalytic converters or heat shields. During driving the substance used for undercoating could overheat and ignite.
How Emission Control Works
When an automobile engine is running, it uses energy generated through the combustion of a mixture of air and fuel. Depending on whether a car is driven fast or slowly or whether the engine is cold or hot, some of the fuel (hydrocarbons) may not be burned completely, but may be discharged into the engine crankcase or exhaust system. Additional hydrocarbons may enter the atmosphere through evaporation of fuel from the fuel tank. These hydrocarbons (HC), when released into the air, contribute to undesirable pollution.
In addition, carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) contribute to engine emissions. They, too, are formed during the combustion process and discharged into the exhaust system.
To reduce these pollutants, your Porsche is equipped with a precisely calibrated fuel injection system to assure a finely balanced air/fuel mixture under all operating conditions.
Oxygen sensor
The oxygen sensor, installed in the exhaust pipe continuously senses the oxygen content of the exhaust and signals the information to an electronic control unit. The control unit corrects the air/fuel ratio, so the engine always receives an accurately metered air/fuel mixture.
Crankcase ventilation
Through crankcase ventilation, undesirable emissions from the engine crankcase are not permitted to reach the outside atmosphere. These emissions are recirculated from the crankcase to the air intake system. From here the emissions mix with the intake air and are later burned in the engine.
Catalytic converters
The catalytic converters are efficient “clean-up” devices built into the exhaust system of the vehicle. The catalytic converters burn the undesirable pollutants in the exhaust gas before it is released into the atmosphere.
The exclusive use of unleaded fuel is critically important for the life of the catalytic converters. Therefore, only unleaded fuel must be used.
The catalytic converters will be damaged by:
– Push or tow starting the vehicle, – Misfiring of the engine,– Turning off the ignition while the vehicle is moving,– Driving until the fuel tank is completely empty,– By other unusual operating conditions.fDo not continue to operate your vehicle under these conditions, since raw fuel might reach the catalytic converters. This could result in overheating of the converters. Federal law prohibits use of leaded fuel in this car.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy will vary depending on where, when and how you drive, optional equipment installed, and the general condition of your car. A car tuned to specifications and correctly maintained, will help you to achieve optimal fuel economy.fHave your vehicle tuned to specifications. Air cleaner should be dirt free to allow proper engine “breathing”.Battery should be fully charged.Wheels should be properly aligned.Tires should be inflated to the correct pressure.
