This device complies with:
Part 15 of the FCC Rules
RSS-210 of Industry Canada.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Porsche could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

The alarm system and passenger compartment monitoring system are switched on when the doors are locked with the key or remote control (Boxster Spyder does not have passenger compartment monitoring).

• Please see the chapter "CENTRAL LOCKING IN CARS WITH ALARM SYSTEM" on page 17.

Unlocking the vehicle by using the key in the door lock and opening the door may activate the alarm system within 10 seconds.

Information
The passenger compartment monitoring system is always switched off when the convertible top is open (Boxster Spyder does not have passenger compartment monitoring).

Switching off the alarm system if it is triggered accidentally

• Unlock the vehicle with the remote control by pressing button 1.

The alarm system and passenger compartment monitoring system are switched off automatically when the doors are unlocked (Boxster Spyder does not have passenger compartment monitoring).

Function indication
If the alarm system is activated, light-emitting diode A in the central locking switch flashes.

If, after locking, the light-emitting diode does not flash or, after ten seconds, it emits double flashes, then not all alarm contacts are closed. Additionally, a brief horn signal sounds.

When the doors are unlocked, the alarm system and passenger compartment monitoring system are switched off and the light-emitting diode goes off (Boxster Spyder does not have passenger compartment monitoring).

When the alarm is armed, the following areas are monitored
– Doors
– Front and rear lids
– Convertible-top lock
– Glove compartment
– Passenger compartment

If one of these alarm contacts is interrupted, the alarm horn sounds for approximately 3 minutes. Additionally, the emergency flasher flashes and the passenger compartment light lightes for approximately five minutes.

When the alarm is triggered, the light-emitting diode changes over to double flashes.

In order not to limit the action range of the passenger compartment monitoring system (Boxster Spyder does not have passenger compartment monitoring):

• Do not fold the seat backrests forward.
