Important information on
operation and road safety
The PCM (Porsche Communication Management) system is the central control unit for the ra-
dio, TV tuner, disc mode (CD/DVD, USB, iPod and
an external audio source), sound settings, onboard computer, navigation system and telephone.
To avoid danger or injury to yourself and others
while using your PCM, you must take the following
into consideration:
WARNING!
Accident hazard. Distraction could result in
you losing control of the vehicle.
û Operate your PCM only when you are safely
in control of your vehicle and traffic conditions permit. If in doubt, stop the vehicle
and operate the PCM while the vehicle is
parked.
CAUTION!
Injury hazard. Opening the housing or a dam-
aged housing represents a hazard due to invisible laser radiation.
û The PCM is a Class 1 laser product. Do not
open the housing.
The PCM does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Any maintenance work must be
performed exclusively by qualified service
experts.
WARNING!
Accident hazard. The navigation system is
only intended as an aid to the driver and makes
recommendations on the routes to take. This
does not release you from full responsibility for
observing road safety, traffic conditions, legal
road traffic regulations and any other relevant
regulations while driving your vehicle.
As the driver, you must assess the traffic situation. Yo u have sole responsibility for road
safety while driving your car.
û Continue to pay attention to the traffic situ-
ation.
WARNING!
Injury hazard. The telephone must not be
used near explosives or flammable materials
(e.g. at a petrol station) or near operations involving explosives.
Mobile phones must be switched off in certain
hazardous areas such as near petrol stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants and demolition
work in progress using explosives, for example. They can interfere with technical equipment.
û Please heed appropriate warnings.
û Observe statutory regulations and local re-
strictions when using the telephone.
6 Using the PCM
Introduction to operation
Switching the PCM on/off
Switching on/off via the ignition
(permanently)
û Switch on the ignition.
The PCM is permanently active.
Switching on/off via the left rotary knob
If the PCM is not to be permanently active, you can
also switch it on/off using the left rotary knob.
û Press and hold the left rotary knob (volume
control) for at least one second.
Battery discharge protection
Switching on/off via the left rotary knob is also
possible when the ignition is off.
To protect your vehicle’s battery, the PCM will automatically switch itself off again after a few minutes.
NOTICE
Risk of damage. The PCM contains high-qual-
ity electronic components which require spe-
cial care with regard to maintenance.
The following should be observed:
– The display is sensitive to scratches.
– The device must not be sprayed with liq-
uids. Ingress of liquids can result in the destruction of the equipment.
û Carefully clean your PCM periodically using
a dry, clean and soft cloth (microfibre cloth)
or a cleaning brush.
û Do not exert excessive pressure on the sur-
face when cleaning.
>>>
û Under no circumstances may solvents
such as methylated spirits, thinners, petrol,
acetone or alcohol (ethanol, methanol or
isopropyl alcohol) or scouring agents of
any type be used.
û Remove fingerprints using a slightly damp
cloth or a mild cleaning agent.
û Never spray cleaning agents or other liq-
uids directly onto the display. Instead
dampen a cloth and carefully wipe the display clean.
û If faults occur, do not open the PCM equip-
ment yourself under any circumstances.
Always have defective devices repaired by
a qualified specialist workshop. We recommend tha t th is wor k be per formed by a Porsche partner, as Porsche partners have
trained workshop personnel as well as the
necessary parts and tools.

Tuning to TV stations
The standard TV on the PCM can receive non-encrypted terrestrial analogue and digital (DVB-T)
programmes. Depending on the country and reception area, only analogue, digital or a mixture of
analogue and digital programmes may be available. If a programme is simultaneously received in
both analogue and digital forms, the TV tuner automatically selects the higher-quality of the two.
In some areas, DVB-T programmes are also broadcast without picture content. These are characterised by an additional note symbol.
The activation of the automatic hatchback as
well as some other vehicle functions may sporadic cause temporary restrictions of the TV
reception.
