Keys

f Please observe the chapter "ALARM SYSTEM,
INFRARED PASSENGER COMPARTMENT MON-
ITORING" on Page 24.
f Please observe the chapter "CENTRAL LOCK-
ING" on Page 22.
Two main keys and one spare key 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 the 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.
The key grip of the spare key can be exchanged
for a main-key grip.
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 pur-
pose.
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 Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock.
If the ignition was on longer than 2 minutes without
the engine starting, the engine starts with a short
delay.
Switching on the immobilizer
f Withdraw the ignition key.
