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.

To protect your vehicle and your
possessions from theft, you should always
proceed as follows when leaving your
vehicle:

Close windows.
Close lifting/sliding roof
Close convertible top (with the convertible top

open, the passenger compartment monitoring

system is always switched off)
Close the sliding glass roof (Targa) (with

the sliding glass roof open, the passenger

compartment monitoring system is always

switched off)
Remove ignition key.
Engage steering lock.
Lock glove compartment.

Remove valuables (e.g. car documents,

telephone, house keys) from the car.
Lock doors.
