Two main keys are supplied with your Porsche.
These keys operate all the locks on your vehicle.
f Be careful with your car keys: do not part with
them except under exceptional circumstances.
f To avoid battery run-down, always remove the
ignition key from the ignition lock.
Replacement keys
Replacement car keys can be obtained only from
your authorized Porsche dealer, and this can
sometimes be very time-consuming.
You should therefore always keep a spare key on
your person.
Keep it in a safe place (e.g. wallet), but under no
circumstances in or on the vehicle.
The key codes of new keys have to be "reported"
to the car control unit by your authorized Porsche
dealer.
A total of 6 car keys can be reported to the control
unit.
Disabling key codes
If a key is lost, the key codes can be disabled by
an authorized Porsche dealer.
All the remaining car keys are required for this
purpose.
Disabling the code ensures that the car can be
started only using authorized keys.
Note
f Please note that the other locks can still be
opened with the disabled key.
Immobilizer
There is a transponder (an electronic component)
in the key grip, containing a stored code.
When the ignition is switched on, the ignition lock
checks the code.
The immobilizer can be deactivated and the en-
gine started only using an authorized ignition key.
Switching off the immobilizer
f Please see the chapter "LOCKING THE STEE-
RING COLUMN" on Page 77.
f Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock.
If the ignition is left on for more than 2 minutes
without starting the engine, the immobilizer is
reactivated.
f If this happens, turn the ignition key back to the
left before starting the engine.
The immobilizer is switched off again, and the
engine can be started.
Switching off the immobilizer
f Remove ignition key.

Security Wheel Bolts

f If wheels have to be removed during a repair-
shop visit, do not forget to hand over the
socket for the security wheel bolts along with
the car key.
