Porsche Communication
Management (PCM)
f Refer to the separate operating instructions
before putting the PCM into operation.
f Please see the chapter "LOAD SWITCH-OFF AF-
TER 2 HOURS OR 7 DAYS" on Page 237.
Warning!
There is danger of accident if you set or ope-
rate the on-board computer, radio, navi-
gation system, telephone or other equipment
when driving.
This could distract you from traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
f Operate the components while driving only if
the traffic situation allows you to do safely.
f Carry out any complicated operating or setting
procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
The reception conditions for the radio module inte-
grated in the PCM change continuously as you
drive. Interference from buildings, terrain and the
weather is unavoidable.
FM stereo reception is particularly susceptible to
varying reception conditions.
Electronic accessories should only be retrofitted
by your authorized Porsche dealer.
Accessories which have not been tested and ap-
proved by Porsche may impair radio function and
reception.
Navigation
When put into operation for the first time, a
distance of approx. 31 miles (50 km) must be dri-
ven in order for the navigation system to complete
the process of fine calibration.
The same applies when the tires are changed (e.g.
summer/snow tires) or new tires fitted.
Full location accuracy is not yet achieved during
the fine-calibration process.
If the vehicle has been transported (e.g. ferry, car
train), the system may take a few minutes to
determine the current location after it has been
switched on.
Serious tire slip (e.g. spinning wheels on snow)
may result in temporarily inaccurate navigation.
When the battery has been disconnected, it may
take up to 15 minutes before the navigation
system becomes operational again.

Car Audio Operation/Tips

For radio operation see your radio manual
which is included with your on-board
literature.
f Please see the chapter "LOAD SWITCH-OFF AF-
TER 2 HOURS OR 7 DAYS" on Page 237.
FM reception
A vehicle is not an ideal place to listen to a radio.
Because the vehicle moves, reception conditions
are constantly changing.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and noise from
other vehicles are all working against good recep-
tion.
Some conditions affecting FM may appear to be
problems when they are not.
The following characteristics are completely nor-
mal for a given reception area, and they do not
indicate any problem with the radio itself.
Note
Electronic accessories should only be installed by
your authorized Porsche dealer.
Equipment which has not been tested and appro-
ved by Porsche may impair radio reception.
