Never Invite Car Theft - Porsche Cayenne 2009 Owner's Manual

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 remin-
der 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.
f Always remove the ignition key.
f Always set the parking brake.
