NEVER invite car theft!
An unlocked car with the key in the
ignition switch invites car theft.
A steering wheel lock and a gong
alarm are standard equipment in your
Porsche. The gong will sound if you
open the driver's door while the key
is still in the ignition lock . It is your re-
minder to pull the key out of the igni-
tion lock and to lock the doors.
WARNING
Always remove the ignition key,
especially if children are left unat-
tendedin the vehicle. Unsupervised
use of any vehicle key may cause
serious personal injury.
NEVER leave your vehicle unat-
tended with the key in the ignition
lock. Take the key and lock the
doors.

Keys
Three keys are supplied with the vehicle. Each
fits the ignition lock, door locks, hatchback lock,
fuel filler cap lock and glove compartment lock.
There is one flat key which you can keep in
your purse or wallet, for instance, as an "emer-
gency key". If you remove the plastic head of
the flat key, you can clip on an illuminated pla-
stic handle (available from your Porsche dea-
ler). Vehicles with a rear seat clove compart-
ment receive two additional keys for the
compartment lock.
WARNING
NEVER remove the key from the steering
lock while you are driving or as the car is
rolling to a stop. The steering column will
lock when you remove the key, and you
will not be able to steer the car. This may
result in a serious accident.
Because of the symmetrical shape of the key
shaft, there is no "wrong" way of inserting the
key in the locks.
The new format of the keys makes unautho-
rized duplication of the keys virtually impos-
sible. This means, however, that you your-
self will not be able to get replacement keys
cut, unless ordered from the manufacturer.
F o r vehicles equipped with lockable wheel nuts,
three identical keys, plus four wheel nuts with
lock sleeve, are included. When taking the
vehicle to your Porsche dealer or to a work-
shop for wheel or tire service, remember to
leave one key with the service attendant.
In case of loss, duplicate wheel look keys
cannot be furnished by your Porsche dealer.
Do not leave these keys in the vehicle. Keep
them in a safe place.
See "Lockable wheel nuts" for details.
NOTE: It is a good idea to also keep a re-
cord of your key numbers in your wallet
together with your license.
