Management (PCM)
f Refer to the separate operating instructions
before putting the PCM into operation.
f Please observe the chapter “LOAD SWITCH-
OFF AFTER 2 HOURS OR 7 DAYS” on Page
246.
Warning!
There is a danger of accident if you set or
operate the on-board computer, radio, navi-
gation system, telephone or other equipment
when driving.
This could distract you from the traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle resul-
ting in serious personal injury or death.
f
Operate the components while driving only if
the traffic situation allows you to do safely.
f
Carry out any complicated operating or setting
procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
The reception conditions for the radio module inte-
grated in the PCM change continuously as you
drive. Interference from buildings, terrain and the
weather is unavoidable.
FM stereo reception is particularly susceptible to
varying reception conditions.
Electronic accessories should only be retrofitted
by a qualified specialist workshop.
Accessories which have not been tested and
approved by Porsche may impair radio reception.
Navigation
When put into operation for the first time, a
distance of approx. 31 miles (50 km) must be dri-
ven in order for the navigation system to complete
the process of fine calibration.
The same applies when the tires are changed (e.g.
summer/snow tires) or new tires fitted.
Full location accuracy is not yet achieved during
the fine-calibration process.
If the vehicle has been transported (e.g. ferry, car
train), the system may take a few minutes after
being switched on before it determines the current
location.
Serious tire slip (e.g. spinning wheels on snow)
may result in temporarily inaccurate navigation.
When the battery has been disconnected, it may
take up to 15 minutes before the navigation
system becomes operational again.
