The
interior lights, which are independent from on another, come on, with the
switch in the appropriate position, as soon as a door or the hatchback is
opened. The
interior lights go out after approx. 30 seconds after the doors or the
hatchback are closed. The lights
go out immediately if the ignition is switched on or the vehicle locked with
the key. The
interior lights have the following switch positions: a
– light comes on only when a door or the hatchback is opened b
– light switched off permanently c
– light switched on permanently 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. Door warning lights The
red spot lights in the rear doorjambs will come on when a door or the
hatchback is opened. To
open or close, depress the rocker switches in the center console in front of
the shift lever. The
power windows are operational when the ignition is turned on. When
the ignition is turned off or the ignition key removed, the power windows can
by operated until one door is opened. WARNING Do
not put anything on or near the windows that may interfere with the driver’s
vision. Remove
the ignition key to shut off power to the window switches when the vehicle is
not attended by a responsible person. Remember,
power is still supplied to the window switches until on door is opened. The
correct seating position is all-important for safe and fatigue-free
driving. In order to satisfy
individual requirements, the seat has infinitely variable adjustment. We
recommend the following procedure for finding the correct position for the
driver’s seat:
Steering wheel adjustment For
maximum legroom and unobstructed view of the instruments, the height of the steering
wheel, together with the instrument cluster unit, can be adjusted. Release
locking lever under instrument cluster for desired positioning, then lock
securely. Front seats Two
multi-function switches control the electric motors for longitudinal
adjustment, seat height and angle of backrest tilt. Lumbar support The
lumbar support, which supports the spine, can be adjusted continuously with
switch (B). Seat heating system The
heating system in the seat cushion and backrest is switched on and off by
pressing the rocker switch. On
vehicles without seat position memory a timer deactivates the circuit
after approx. 15 minutes if the heating system is not switched off manually. On
vehicles with seat position memory a timer circuit switches approx. 6
minutes after being activated from continuous heating to intermittent
heating. In this case the seat
will be heated for 20 seconds during 60 second intervals. To deactivate the heating system use
the rocker switch or the ignition. Press
upper half of switch – heating on Press
lower half of switch – heating off Manual operation Should
the electrical seat adjustment fail, you can use the hexagon socket-screw in
the toolkit for longitudinal seat adjustment by turning the servo-motor below
the front of the seat. Seat position memory The
seat position memory can store up to three different sitting positions for
the driver’s and passenger seats.
Each position stored in the memory comprises longitudinal adjustment,
seat height, backrest angle, position and size of lumbar support and the
position of the outside mirrors.
The positions can be adjusted, stored or called up regardless of
whether the engine is on or off. Selecting a position Adjust
the seat and the two outside mirrors to the desired position by operating the
switches for seat and mirror adjustment. Storing a position To
store a position in the memory, press the memory button and the appropriate
position button (button 1, 2 or 3).
The memory button must be pressed before the position button. Calling up a position To
set the seat to the position stored in the memory, the appropriate position
button must be depressed until the seat reaches its final position. The procedure is curtailed as soon
as the button is released.
The buttons are illuminated for ease location. Once
the seat reaches its end position the mirrors are set automatically to the
positions stored in the memory. The
seat switches always take priority over automatic adjustment. If a seat switch is operated, automatic
adjustment is immediately interrupted. Pilot lamp A
red pilot lamp is set in the memory button. If
adjustment is initiated, the pilot lamp lights up until the adjustment is
completed. If the procedure is interrupted,
the lamp goes out approx. 60 seconds after the ignition is switched off. Sports seat
Longitudinal
adjustment and backrest adjustment are carried out manually on sports seats. To
move the seat backwards and forwards, pull the inside locking lever at
the front of the seat upwards, set seat to desired position and release the
lever. When
there is no load on the backrest, it will always be pushed forwards by spring
force when the lever is pulled. Backrest release The
backrest can be folded forward for easy access to the rear seats. To release, pull the lever on the
side of the backrest up (arrow) and, at the same time, tilt the backrest
forward. When the backrest is
tilted back, the lock will engage automatically. WARNING Front seat passengers should not ride in a moving vehicle with the backrest reclined. Safety belts only offer protection when the backrest is upright and the belts are properly positioned on the body. Improperly positioned safety belts can cause serious personal injury in an accident. Rear seats – luggage compartment
The
backrests of the rear seats can be tilted forward to provide additional
luggage space. Unsnap
the luggage compartment cover from the upright rear seat backrests and the rear
cross wall. To
release backrest, pull the lever on side of the backrest up and, at the same
time, tilt the backrest forward. Adjust the outside and inside mirrors before driving. It is important for safe driving that you have good vision to the rear. Inside day-night mirror You
can adjust the day-night mirror from clear daylight visibility to non-glare
visibility at night, by moving lever at the bottom of the mirror forward or
rearward. Do not put decals or other signs on the windows that may interfere with the driver’s vision. Heated outside mirrors
with remote control When
the rear window defogger/defroster is switched on, the outside mirrors are
also heated electrically. The
outside mirrors are adjustable from inside of the vehicle by a four direction
switch and a rocker switch located on the left door next to the side window
vents in the armrest. The rocker
switch selects either the left or right mirror for adjustment. Press the rocker switch into the
appropriate position. Then the
four direction switch will adjust the selected mirror in any of the four
directions. The
mirror housing is hinged and can be folded flat against the car in either
direction to prevent damage in tight parking spots. If
necessary, the outside mirrors can also be adjusted manually. WARNING Failure
to follow safety belt instructions may result in serious personal injury. [see
Porsche manual for additional warnings] Safety belt warning
system An
audio-visual warning system interconnected with the driver’s safety belt. Every
time the ignition is turned on, the seat belts warning light in the center
console will come on for about 6 seconds as a reminder to buckle up. If the driver does not fasten the
safety belt, the gong will continue for the duration of this 6 second
period. The gong will go off as
soon as the driver has buckled up. Inertia reel retractor The
combination lap/shoulder belt with inertia reel locking mechanism adjusts
automatically to your size and movements as long as the pull on the belt is
slow. Rapid
deceleration during hard braking or a collision locks the belt. The belt will also lock when you
drive up or down a steep hill or in a sharp curve otherwise the shoulder belt
will not inhibit your upper body movement.
Lap belts for rear seats The
belt with inertia reel locking mechanism adjusts automatically to your size
and movements as long as the pull on the belt is slow. [etc.] |
