Parking brake lever
Parking brake force is mechanically transferred
to the rear wheels by means of cables.
Use the parking brake only after the ve-
hicle has come to a full stop.
To set the parking brake
Pull the lever all the way up (see arrow). With
the ignition on, the brake warning light will come
on if the lever is even slightly raised. A firm pull
upward is required to properly engage the park-
ing brake.

To release the parking brake
Pull the lever slightly up as you depress the re-
lease button. Keep the button depressed as you
lower the lever all the way down.
The parking brake light and the fault message in
the information system display will go out after
the engine is started and the parking brake is
fully released.
WARNING
Release the parking brake fully. A partially
engaged brake will overheat the rear brakes,
reduce their effectiveness and cause exces-
sive wear.
Always set the parking brake when parking
your car by pulling all the way up on the
lever. Move the selector lever to "P" (Auto-
matic transmission) or move the gearshift
lever to reverse or first gear (Manual trans-
mission). On hills also turn the wheels toward
the curb.
The parking brake light is not an indicator
that the parking brake is fully set; it is only
intended to be a warning to release the park-
ing brake before driving the car. If brake is
not fully set, the vehicle may roll without con-
trol.
Brakes
Functioning of brake system
Your Porsche is equipped with a power assisted
hydraulic dual circuit brake system with disc
brakes at the front and at the rear. Both circuits
function independently.
In the unlikely event of hydraulic failure of
one circuit, push the brake pedal down
firmly and hold it in that position. A me-
chanical linkage activates the second cir-
cuit, and you will be able to bring the ve-
hicle to a stop.
WARNING
Failure of one brake circuit will impair the
braking capability resulting in an increased
stopping distance.
If one brake circuit has failed, the other will
still operate, However, you will notice an in-
creased pedal travel when you step on the
brake. Should you encounter such ex-
perience, bring your vehicle safely to a full
stop.
Avoid driving the vehicle and instead have it
towed to the nearest authorized Porsche
dealer.
