Per the manual
"Automatic Headlight Beam
Adjustment
Vehicles with Litronic headlights feature automatic
headlight beam adjustment.
When the ignition is switched on, the level of the
headlight beam automatically changes in accordance
with the vehicle load.
The level of the headlight beam is automatically
kept constant during acceleration and braking.
Checking operation
1. Switch the low beam on.
2. Switch ignition on.
The light beam first dips all the way down and
is then adapted to the vehicle load.
The level of the low beam rises perceptibly
when the high beam is switched on.
If these test items are not met, the headlight beam
adjustment must be checked by an authorized
Porsche dealer."

Try the test before going to the dealer. Hope this help.

I got this error on my Cayenne and when I turned off the car, waited a few seconds and started it back up it didn't return. I'm still taking it in to the dealer to investigate. I'd suggest you do the same, especially if it doesn't go away after you switch off the car.

I've noticed this error to appear when my car has been sitting for long periods of time. Once started, the lights function fine and when I shut off the car and restart it, the error doesn't appear again. - Suneet

Did you guys change the light bulbs in your headlights before the warning message came on? I had my high beam bulbs changed and afterwards the warning message came on. And I don't want to make a trip to the dealership if I can fix it myself.
