sengers.

With the vehicle you receive two master keys

and one auxiliary key. The two master keys fit

all locks, the auxiliary key does not fit the glove

compartment lock.

Vehicles with a rear seat storage compart-

ment receive two additional keys for the com-

partment lock.

The master keys have a built-in flash light. The

light is on as long as the contact button is de-

pressed.

When the light begins to fade, the battery must

be replaced with one of the same type. A dis-

charged battery could leak and damage your

clothing.

By virtue of the new format for the master

and auxiliary keys, the unauthorized manu-

facture of keys is almost completely elimi-

nated. This means however, that you your-

self will not be able to get replacement keys

cut, you must order them from the manufac-

turer.

Should you need new keys, you must give the

key number. This number is noted on the key

card that you receive with the keys. Keep this

card somewhere safe, not in the vehicle.

d Key for lock-up wheel nuts

Three identical keys are supplied with vehicles

which have lock-up wheel nuts (a wheel nut

for mounting spare wheel is also supplied).

Copies of lost keys cannot be supplied.

Please store separately.

If wheels are to be removed whilst your car is

in the garage, please do not forget to hand

over a key for the lock-up wheel nuts along

with the second key.

Replacing the Button Battery

for Key Light

1. Carefully lift the cover in the key head with

a fingernail or a small screwdriver, and re-

move the old battery.

2. Insert the new 1.5 or 1.4 Volt battery with

the plus (+) side up.

3. Press the cover back into the key head.

Alarm system

If your car is equipped with an alarm system

you will have received two S-keys instead of

the normal master keys. The alarm system

can be activated only with the S-key by lock-

ing the doors or closing the luggage compart-

ment door and turning the key to the left. If the

doors are locked with the auxiliary key then

the door will be mechanically locked but there

is no contact to activate the alarm. The alarm

system is switched off automatically when a

door or the luggage compartment is opened

with the S-key. If the luggage compartment

door is opened while the alarm system is

switched on, the key must be turned to the left

to reactivate the alarm system. If the driver's

or passenger side door, engine compartment

hood or the luggage compartment door is

opened, or if the ignition is switched on while

the alarm is activated a specially protected

siren will sound for about 30 seconds. The

engine cannot be started.

In the interest of security the S-Key should

never be lent out to other persons. The auxi-

liary key can be used as a "workshop" key and

can also be handed over at filling and service

stations.

Doors

The doors are opened from the outside by

pulling the inset door handle, and from inside,

by pulling lever (C).

Access to the storage compartments in the

door is obtained by pressing the safety knob,

and tipping the armrest outwards.

The window regulators are operated by the

rocker switches in the centre console.

Warning: To avoid injury to unknowing occu-

pants of the vehicle, (e. g. children) by the

closing of the windows, the ignition key should

always be withdrawn when leaving the vehicle,

if only for a short period.

The footwell lights (D) mounted forward in

the lower part of the door trim come on, with

the switch in the appropriate position, when

the door or the luggage compartment door is

opened. Each light can also be switched on or

off individually by means of the integrated

switch.

10

Central door locking

By means of the central door locking system

both doors are electrically locked or unlocked

by operating one lock.

When the doors are locked the locking but-

tons (A) must be fully retracted. If this is not

the case the lock on that door is not properly

engaged. Re-open the door, close it properly

and re-lock it.

On vehicles with central locking the passenger

door can be locked and unlocked by turning

the knob (B) as well as with the key.

To prevent being accidentally locked out of

the vehicle it is impossible to lock the door,

while open, either using the knob (B) or with

the key.

Central locking is only possible when both

driver and passenger doors are closed. If

one door is locked before the other is closed

it will automatically unlock when the other door

is closed.

When the ignition has been switched on or

when the ignition key is turned to position 1,

both doors can be electrically locked or un-

locked by pressing the central locking button

in the center console. The lamp in the central

door locking button remains lit whilst the sys-

tem is activated.

When the ignition is switched off but with the

key still in the ignition lock the doors can be

centrally locked using either the key or the

knob (B).

Door guard lights

The door guard lights come on when a door

or the luggage compartment door is opened.

11

Interior lights

The interior lights, which are independent from

one another, come on, with the switch in the

appropriate position, as soon as a door or the

luggage compartment door is opened.

The interior lights go out when the ignition is

switched on or automatically after approx. 30

seconds.

After leaving the vehicle, the interior lights go

out automatically approx. 30 seconds after

locking the door or operating the door lock.

Footwell light in lower part of door trim

The interior lights have the following switch

positions:

a - light comes on only when a door or luggage

compartment door is opened

b- light switched off permanently

c- light switched on permanently.

Luggage compartment light in tailgate

The interior light in the headlining and the

luggage compartment light are switched on

and off by tilting the lamp glass. The footwell

lights are operated by the switch integrated

in the light.

12

Front seats

Correct seat positioning is imperative for safe

and alert driving. To enable individual seat-

ing comfort, two switches each with four func-

tions permit infinitely variable electrical fore

and aft adjustment and height adjustment as

well as seat back adjustment.

To find the most suitable seat position, we

suggest the following procedure:

1. Operate switch for fore and aft adjustment

until your leg is straight when fully depress-

ing the clutch pedal. You should not however

have to outstretch your foot to reach this

position.

2. Set the desired seat height at front and rear.

3. Grip the top half of the steering wheel. Then

set the backrest angle so that with almost

fully outstretched arms your shoulders still

contact the backrest.

4. If necessary, correct the fore and aft adjust-

ment once again.

Fore and aft adjustment

Height adjustment front

Backrest adjustment

Height adjustment rear

Seat heating

The seat heating is switched on by means of

switch (A) and heats the seat and back. After

approx. 15 minutes the heating is switched off

automatically by a time-lag relay.

The heating can also be switched off before

then by pressing the switch downwards.

Steering wheel adjustment

After adjusting your seat, check the position

of the steering wheel and your view of the in-

struments.

For optimum legroom and view of the instru-

ments, the steering wheel with the instrument

console is height-adjustable. To do this, re-

lease the lever under the console and clamp

again when in the desired position.

13

Emergency operation of seat Sports Seat Backrest lock

Fore and aft adjustment and backrest adjust-

ment are carried out manually on sports seats.

To move the seat backwards and forwards,

pull the outside locking lever at the front of

the seat upwards, move seat into desired po-

sition, release lever and ensure that the seat

engages securely.

In order to adjust the backrest, pull the inside

locking lever at the front of the seat upwards,

14

Similarly, the rear seat backrests can be re-

leased and tipped forward, thereby giving

more luggage room in the rear.

Rear window mirrors

Before beginning a journey you should en-

sure that the rear view mirrors are properly

adjusted.

The interior rear view mirror is stuck directly

on the windscreen. This enables a very short

mirror stem to be used thereby obviating vib-

ration, and a blurred image.

The electrically adjustable wing mirrors can

be set with the switch in the driver's door. The

passenger door wing mirror is adjustable by

the same switch, by pressing the rocker switch

in front of the adjuster switch into the appro-

priate position. When necessary, the wing

mirrors can also be adjusted by hand.

Use the luggage net to secure your luggage

to stop it sliding during braking or in bends.

The brackets for attaching the luggage net are

on the floor of the luggage compartment.

The mirror is adjusted to the anti-dazzle posi-

tion by pressing the lever underneath it.

The wing mirrors are also electrically heated

when the rear window heating is turned on.

15

Safety belts

Your Porsche is equipped with safety belts

as standard fittings. All occupants of the car

should wear safety belts for their own safety,

on every journey. To remind you of this, the

safety belt warning light in the centre con-

sole comes on every time the ignition is turned

on and does not go out until the buckle on the

driver's seat belt is inserted in the anchor point.

The lap and shoulder belts as fitted are not

suitable for children under 140 cm (4 ft. 6 ins.)

tall. To stop them distracting the driver's atten-

tion, and for their own safety, children under

12 years old should always travel in the rear

seats.

Never use one seat belt for two people.

Loose clothing affects the fit of the seat belt.

You should therefore take your coat off, be-

cause a correct seating position and freedom

of movement are important for comfort and

safety.

Do not run the belt over fragile objects in your

pockets, e. g. spectacles, pens or a pipe etc.,

as these could represent additional hazards.

Please remember when driving abroad that

in some countries the wearing of seat belts

is compulsory.

Putting on the belts

Decide the best seating position for your-

self. Take hold of the sliding buckle and pull

the belt firmly over chest and hips. Press the

buckle into the respective anchor point on the

inside of the seat until you hear that the latch

is locked. Slide the plastic loop up to the buckle.

Avoid twists in the webbing when putting

on the belt.

16

The lap part of the belt must always stay taut

over the pelvis. After putting the belt on, you

should therefore pull the shoulder part of the

belt upwards as shown in the picture. Now

and again during the journey, you should re-

peat this procedure to ensure that the lap belt

is always taut.

The locking mechanism in the roll-up unit is

so designed that by rapid acceleration or

braking, cornering or driving on steep inclines,

the belt is locked. This locking system reacts

more quickly to the retardation of the car than

to any pull on the belt.

Releasing the belts

To release the belt, press the red button

marked "press". The buckle then springs out

of the anchorage, whether there is any load-

ing on the belt or not.

Make sure that the belts are always fully re-

tracted when not in use. This will prevent them

becoming dirty and avoid unnecessary dam-

age to the belts themselves.

You should check your seat belts regularly for

signs of damage to the webbing. Make sure

that the locks and anchorage points are in

good condition. If the belts have been sub-

jected to high loads or stretched in an accident,

have them replaced in the interests of your

own safety.

Back seat safety belts

The back seats are equipped with automatic

lap belts. Do not twist the belt when putting it

on. The belt is released by pressing the red

button.

Warning. Please do not make any alterations

or additions.

In case of doubt please consult your author-

ized Porsche dealer.

Addresses are listed in your "Service"-book-

let.

17

Footbrake Clutch

Handbrake

The handbrake is cable operated to the rear

wheels only. It is applied by pulling the lever

upwards.

To release the brake, the lever must be pulled

upwards slightly whilst pressing the button in

the end of the lever until the ratchet is cleared,

and then letting the lever downwards.

The central warning light and the handbrake

warning light will go out when the brake lever

is fully released. (See Automatic warning unit.)

To reduce the pedal effort necessary when

braking, your Porsche has a brake servo unit.

The vacuum necessary to operate this unit is

taken from the engine inlet manifold, when

the engine is running.

Please note that with a defective servo unit,

or when the vehicle is being towed with the

engine turned off, the braking effort required

is considerably increased as soon as the

vacuum reservoir is used up.

With properly bled and functioning brakes, the

free movement of the brake pedal will remain

constant. This free travel before the brakes

start to operate can be 20 mm (0.8 ins.).

Should this free travel suddenly become bigger,

it could be that air has entered the brake sys-

tem. Low brake fluid level is indicated by the

flashing of the central warning light (see Cent-

ral warning unit). In addition, the "brake fluid"

label in the right-hand instrument cluster lights

up.

Due to the hydraulic operation of the clutch,

a free travel of the clutch pedal of 2.5 mm is

necessary.

Should this free travel suddenly become

bigger, it could mean a malfunction of the

clutch. Please consult your workshop for

rectification.
