Ordering and storing replacement
keys
Driver's keys can only be ordered from a Porsche
partner. This can take a long time.
e Always have a replacement key available.
e Keep the replacement key in a safe place, but
under no circumstances in or on the vehicle.
To teach new driver's keys for the vehicle:
e Visit a qualified specialist workshop. Porsche
recommends a Porsche partner as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary
parts and tools.
e Teach all driver's keys belonging to the vehicle
again.
Information
A total of eight driver's keys can be taught.
Information
e If a driver's key is lost or stolen, have a Porsche
partner disable this driver's key in the vehicle and
change the mechanical locks if necessary.
e You should notify your insurance company of the
loss or theft of driver's keys or of the production
of additional or replacement keys.
