Trunk Entrapment

Your vehicle is equipped with an internal trunk

release mechanism.
A person trapped in the luggage compartment

can release the lid from the inside using unlocking

handle A. The handle A is fluorescent and glows in

the dark.
Note

When loading the luggage compartment,

make sure that items of luggage or other

objects cannot become caught on handle A.

This could cause the luggage compartment to

open unintentionally.

Warning light

A warning message in the on-board computer

lights up when unlocking handle A is operated.

Stop the vehicle immediately when the warning

lights light up.
Check the luggage compartment.
Close the lid.

Function with vehicle stationary

If the luggage compartment lid is unlocked with

unlocking handle A, the lid can be opened from the

inside immediately.

Function with vehicle in motion

If the luggage compartment lid is unlocked with

unlocking handle A when a speed of 2 mph

(3 km/h) is exceeded, the warning message in

the on-board computer lights up. At the same time,

the lid is unlocked and the latch striker pops into

the catch-hook position.

Danger!

Risk of accident. If the warning message in

the on-board computer lights up when the

vehicle is in motion, the lid may impact in

front of the windshield and can tear off. You

can lose control of the vehicle, and serious

personal injury or death may result.

Stop the vehicle immediately when the warning

message lights up.
Check the luggage compartment.
Close the lid.

Note
The lid cannot be opened from the inside if the

battery is disconnected or empty.
Safety reasons require that you unscrew the

latch striker of the lid lock if you plan to put

the vehicle out of operation for an extended

period.
Please consult your authorized Porsche dealer.

They will advise you about the necessary meas-

ures.
