Emergency operation of tailgate
If the tailgate cannot be opened with the radio
remote control (e.g. if the battery of the remote
control is dead), the emergency operation must
be performed:
1. Unlock and open the driver’s door with the car
key.
2. Switch on the ignition within 10 seconds
to prevent the alarm system from
triggering.
3. Press the central locking button on the front
or rear center console.
The tailgate is now unlocked and can be
opened with the unlocking handle.
Only one door is unlocked
On the multi-function display in the instrument
panel, you can set different variants for locking
and unlocking the doors and tailgate. You can
open all doors irrespective of the setting made.
f Press button on the key twice within
2seconds.
The vehicle cannot be unlocked
The remote control of the key may
– not function correctly due to radio waves (also
radio contact between remote control and
vehicle in the case of Porsche Entry & Drive),

– fail due to a flat key battery.
f Unlock the vehicle using the emergency key
in the door lock.
If the vehicle was unlocked using the
emergency key in the door lock, only the
driver’s door can be opened.
In order to prevent the alarm system from
being triggered, switch the ignition on
within 10 seconds of opening the door.
The vehicle cannot be locked
This is recognizable by the fact that the
emergency flasher does not flash and there is no
locking noise.
The remote control of the key may

(also radio contact between remote control
and vehicle in the case of Porsche Entry &
Drive),
– fail due to a fault,
– fail due to a flat key battery.
f Lock the vehicle using the emergency key
in the door lock.
If the central locking system is defective,
operating the lock cylinder in the driver’s door will
lock all functioning locking elements of the central
locking system.
