148 Driving and Driving Safety
An unattended vehicle with a running engine is potentially hazardous. If warning lights come on to indicate improper operation, no one would be present to observe the light and turn off the engine.fNever leave the engine idling unattended.
Starting the vehicle
fOperate the footbrake.fMove PDK selector lever to the P or N position.fDo not press the accelerator pedal.The engine control unit will provide the correct starting mixture.fTurn the ignition key or control unit (Porsche Entry & Drive) to ignition lock position 2. The starting process is carried out and completed automatically as soon as ignition lock position 2 (start engine) is reached. The ignition key or control unit is reset automatically to ignition lock position 1 (ignition on).fDo not operate the starter for more than approx. 10 seconds. If necessary, repeat the starting procedure after a pause of approx. 10 seconds. Turn the ignition key back to ignition lock position 0 (initial position) first. The first operation of the starter is ended automatically when the engine starts.If the engine does not start, subsequent starter operations will not be ended automatically.fDo not warm up the engine when stationary. Drive off immediately. Avoid high revs and full throttle until the engine has reached operating temperature.
fIf the vehicle battery power is too weak, the engine can be started with jump leads.
For information on jump-lead starting: fPlease see the chapter “EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY, EMERGENCY STARTING WITH JUMPER CABLES” on page 273.
Information
To ensure a good battery charge condition, thereby ensuring that the battery will start the engine, all electrical loads that are not required should be switched off when the ignition is switched on and when engine revs are low (in traffic jams, in city traffic or in lines).
Stopping
fOnly remove the ignition key when the vehicle is stationary.fOnly switch the ignition off when the vehicle is stationary, as there is no power steering and brake booster assistance when the engine is switched off.fWhen leaving the vehicle, always remove the ignition key, apply the electric parking brake and engage selector-lever position P. The control unit always remains in the ignition lock on vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive.
Engine components become very hot when the engine is running.fBefore working on any part in the engine compartment, turn the engine off and let it cool down sufficiently.
The exhaust pipe is hot when the engine is running and remains hot for some time after the vehicle is turned off. fTo prevent injury, make a point of noting where your vehicle’s exhaust pipe is, avoid placing your legs near the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading cargo in the rear, and closely supervise children around the vehicle during time when the exhaust pipe could be hot. A hot exhaust pipe can cause painful skin burns.
Radiator fan
The fan can start running depending on the temperature, even with the engine switched off.fExercise extreme care that parts of the body, articles of clothing or jewelry do not get caught in the radiator fan. fExercise extreme caution when working in the area of the radiator fans.
For information on radiator fans:fPlease see the chapter “RADIATOR FAN, ENGINE COMPARTMENT BLOWERS” on page 221.

fAfter you install a new battery, it must be initialized in the control unit.Please contact your authorized Porsche dealer.fPlease observe the disposal instructions for batteries.
Putting vehicle into operation
After the battery is connected or after a fully discharged battery is charged, the PSM warning light lights up on the instrument panel and a message appears on the multi-function display in the instrument panel to indicate a fault.
This fault can be corrected with a few simple steps: 1. Start the engine. To do this, turn the ignition key or the control unit (on vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive) to ignition lock position 2 twice. 2. With the vehicle stationary, perform a few steering movements to the left and right and then drive a short distance in a straight line until the PSM warning light goes out and the message is erased from the multi-function display in the instrument panel.3. If the warnings do not disappear, then: Drive carefully to the nearest authorized Porsche dealer.Have the fault corrected.4. After the warnings go out: Stop the vehicle in a suitable place.5. Store the end position for the power windows.
For information on storing the end positions for the power windows: fPlease see the chapter “STORING END POSITION OF THE WINDOWS AFTER CONNECTING THE VEHICLE BATTERY” on page 63.6. Teach tires on vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring.
For information on teaching the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE MENU (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, TPMS)” on page 105.7. Store end position on vehicles with a sunroof.
For information on storing the end position for the sunroof: fPlease see the chapter “STORING END POSITION OF THE SUNROOF” on page 66.fPlease see the chapter “STORING END POSITION OF THE ROLL-UP SUNBLIND” on page 67.
External Power Supply, Emergency
starting with jumper cables
If the battery is flat, the battery of another vehicle can be used for starting or as an external power supply with the help of jump leads.
Both batteries must be 12 V batteries. The capacity (Ah) of the donor battery must not be substantially less than that of the flat battery.
The flat battery must be connected correctly to the vehicle’s electrical system.
A short circuit may be caused if unsuitable jumper cables are used or if jumper cable starting is not performed properly. Such short circuits can cause a fire.fUse only standard jumper cables with sufficient cross section and completely insulated alligator clips. Follow the instructions provided by the jumper cable manufacturer.fRoute the jumper cables so that they cannot be caught by moving parts in the engine compartment.The jumper cables must be long enough so that neither vehicles nor cables touch another.fThe vehicles must not touch, otherwise current might flow as soon as the positive terminals are connected.fEnsure that tools or conductive jewelry (rings, chains, watch straps) do not come into contact with the positive jumper cable, the positive battery post or live parts of the vehicle.fImproper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin the alternator.
Jumper Cable HazardsWARNINGh

274 Minor Repairs
fDo not lean over the battery due to danger of chemical burns from leaking acid.
fImproper use of booster battery to start a vehicle may cause an explosion.fKeep sources of ignition away from the battery, e.g. naked flame, burning cigarettes or sparks due to cable contact.fBefore connecting jumper cables, it is essential to thaw out a frozen battery.
Risk of damage due to short circuit.fNever connect jumper cables directly to the battery. Always connect jumper cables to the emergency starting terminals in the luggage compartment.
+ = Battery positive terminal A – = Ground point for external power supply/emergency starting B
Supplying external power/ Performing emergency starting with jumper cables
Always observe the sequence below: 1. Remove cover in luggage compartment. To remove the cover:Please see the chapter “TIRE FILLING COMPRESSOR” on page 198.2. Connect the positive lead (red) to the positive terminal A of the discharged battery first, then connect it to the positive terminal of the donor battery.3. Connect the negative lead (black) first to the negative terminal of the donor battery, then to the ground point B. 4. Leave the engine of the donor vehicle running at a higher engine speed.
5. Start the engine. An attempted start using jump leads should not last more than 15 seconds. Then wait for at least one minute.6. With engine running: Disconnect the negative lead from the ground point B first, then from the negative terminal of the donor battery.7. With engine running: Disconnect the positive lead from the positive terminal of the donor battery first, then from the positive terminal A of the discharged battery.
Charging the battery
Automotive batteries lose their efficiency when not in use. The charge available in your battery can be measured with a battery hydrometer. We recommend that the battery voltage be tested by your authorized Porsche dealer who has the appropriate equipment.
If the car is not driven for prolonged periods, the battery must be charged at least every 6 weeks. A discharged battery allows rapid formation of sulfates, leading to premature deterioration of the plates.
