Automatic driving light assistant
The driving light assistant is a comfort function.
Your Porsche’s driving light (low beam) is switched
on and off automatically, irrespective of the ambi-
ent brightness.
Despite possible support by the driving light assis-
tant, it is the responsibility of the driver to switch
on the driving light using the conventional light
switch in accordance with the relevant national
regulations.
Activating the headlights using the driving light as-
sistant does not therefore absolve the driver of
responsibility for the correct operation of the
driving light.
The low beam is switched on automatically in the
following situations:
– Dusk
– Darkness
– Travelling through tunnels
– Rain (in conjunction with the rain sensor)
– Highway driving
Note on operation
Fog is not recognized.
f
In the event of fog, the driving light must be
switched on manually.
Warning!
Risk of accident due to driving without lights.
f Always carefully monitor the automatic driving
light control.

Off delay and door-surrounding lighting are active
when the automatic driving light assistant is
switched on.
