Known issues on the 2010 Cayenne. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the automatic transmission's gear position indication system: if the vehicle is exited without the transmission fully in Park and the parking brake applied, it may unexpectedly move, increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers the exterior headlights: the caps over the low-beam horizontal adjustment screws can be missing, which allows the headlights to go out of adjustment and either fail to illuminate the road properly or glare oncoming drivers. Owners have filed 1 complaint for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both of those systems are here.

Whether you're confirming the shift-lock and parking brake interlock or resetting headlight aim after service, this manual keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct spec for your specific 2010 Cayenne.
