Never invite car theft!
An unlocked car with the key in the ignition lock
invites car theft.
A steering wheel lock and a
gong alarm are
standard equipment in your Porsche. The gong
alarm will sound if you open the driver’s door while
the key is still in the ignition lock. It is your reminder
to pull the key out of the ignition lock and to lock
the doors.
Warning!
Any uncontrolled movement of the vehicle
may result in property damage, serious
personal injury or death. Never leave your
vehicle unattended with the key in the ignition
lock, especially if children and/or pets are left
unattended in the vehicle. They can operate
power windows and other controls. If the
engine is left running, they may accidentally
engage the shift lever. Serious personal injury
or death could result from loss of control of
the vehicle.
Always remove the ignition key.
Always set the parking brake.
Lock the doors with the remote control.
Warning!
Risk of a serious accident. The steering
column will lock when you remove the key
while you are driving or as the car is rolling
to a stop. You will not be able to steer the car.
Serious personal injury or death could result
from loss of control of the vehicle.
Never remove the key from the steering lock
while you are driving.
