106 Lights, Direction Indicators and Windscreen Wipers
Automatic driving light assistant
The driving light assistant is a comfort function.
Your Porsche's driving light (dipped beam) is
switched on and off automatically dependent on
the ambient brightness.
Despite possible support by the driving light
assistant, it is the responsibility of the driver to
switch on the driving light using the conventional
light switch in accordance with the relevant
national regulations.
Activating the headlights using the driving light
assistant therefore does not absolve the driver of
responsibility for correct operation of the driving
light.
The dipped beam is switched on automatically in
the following situations:
– Dusk
– Darkness
– Driving through tunnels
– Rain (in conjunction with rain sensor)
– Motorway driving
Note on operation
Fog is not recognised.
f In the event of fog, the driving light must be
switched on manually.
Warning!
Risk of accident due to driving without lights.
f Always carefully monitor the automatic driving
light control.

when the automatic driving light assistant is

140 km/h (90 mph). If you are travelling slower

switched off after a delay of approx. 2 minutes if
the external lighting conditions permit.

The driving light is switched on automatically after
five seconds of continuous wiper operation.
