Multi-Purpose Display and Instruments – in the sub-menu TYRE PRESSURE (filling infor-
mation):
as a required pressure for each axle if Tire
Pressure Monitoring has not yet been taught
the corresponding values,
– in the front left door aperture for each wheel,
– in the Technical Data chapter in this Owner’s
Manual: Please see the chapter “TIRE
PRESSURES, COLD (68 °F/20 °C)” on
Page 354.
If Tire Pressure Monitoring has been taught the
corresponding values, the deviations from the
required pressure are shown in the sub-menu
TYRE PRESSURE (filling information) indepen-
dently of the tire temperature. The correct tire
pressure adjustment can be made for a wheel on
the basis of this display information even if the
tires are warm.
Insufficient tire filling pressure can cause tires to
overheat when driving and thus be damaged –
even invisibly.
Hidden tire damage is not eliminated by subse-
quently correcting the tire pressure.
fFor this reason, always make sure that the tire
pressure is correct.
fFor further information on maintenance and
care of tires and wheels:
Please see the chapter “TIRES/WHEELS” on
Page 281.

Driving and Driving Safety The corner is taken in the right gear, and when you
accelerate out of the corner you do not have to
change down.
Shifting gear on the steering wheel
By shifting gear with the rocker switches on the
steering wheel, you can temporarily change from
automatic selection mode D to manual selection
mode M.
Advantages:
– Shifting down before corners and on entering
congested areas, on downward slopes (engine
braking) or for brief spurts of acceleration.
– Selecting 1st or 2nd gear for moving off.
The manual selection mode remains engaged:
– For cornering (depending on the lateral
acceleration) and passing,
– When the vehicle is stationary (e.g. at a
junction).
The system leaves manual selection mode:
– automatically after around 8 seconds
(unless car is cornering, passing or
stationary),
– if you depress the accelerator to kickdown.Temporary change-down
Precondition:
– Speed is higher than approx. 33 mph
(54 km/h).
fDepress accelerator quickly.
The Tiptronic changes temporarily to the
sportiest gear-changing map, i.e. to the
highest possible gear-changing points.
Correspondingly, the transmission shifts down
immediately by one, two or three gears.
Ending the function
fRelease the accelerator markedly (by approx.
25%).
Kickdown
The kickdown function is active in selector lever
position D.
fFor optimum acceleration, e.g. when over-
taking, depress the accelerator pedal beyond
the full-throttle point (kickdown).
The transmission shifts down depending on the
speed of travel and engine speed.
Upward shifts occur at the highest possible engine
speeds.
These gear-changing speeds remain active until
the accelerator is released to approx. 80% of the
full-throttle position.
D - Automatic selection mode (in the off-
road driving program)fUse selector lever position D for “normal”
driving.
The gears are shifted automatically according
to the accelerator position and speed.
The gear-changing points have been adjusted to
achieve the best possible vehicle control on diffi-
cult terrain.
Depending on the route profile, the gear-changing
points are shifted towards higher or lower engine-
speed ranges. On steep downhill stretches,
upward shifts are prevented until medium engine
speeds are reached (at least 2,500 rpm).
When the car is passing, an automatic upshift
does not occur when the engine speed limit is
reached.
Shifting gear on the steering wheel
By shifting gear with the rocker switches on the
steering wheel, you can temporarily change from
automatic selection mode D to manual selection
mode M.
Advantages:
– Shifting down on downward slopes (engine
braking) or for brief spurts of acceleration.
– Selecting 1st/2nd or 3rd gear for moving off.

C-Center differential lock in Low Range is fully engaged
D-Rear differential lock in Low Range is fully engagedDisplay of the selected driving program
The selected driving program is displayed by light-
emitting diodes next to the rocker switch (illustra-
tion).
The corresponding indicator lights on the instru-
ment panel and light-emitting diodes beside the ro-
cker switch flash several times during the shif-
ting process.Tip on driving center differential lock
When the center differential lock C is fully enga-
ged, there is no longer any speed difference bet-
ween the front and rear axles. If, for example, both
wheels at the front axle lose traction on an icy
road or soft surface, the rigidly linked drive wheels
will permit the car to continue moving neverthe-
less.
Tip on driving rear-differential lock
When the rear differential lock D is fully engaged,
there is no longer any speed difference between
the two rear wheels. If, for example, one drive
wheel at the rear axle loses traction on an icy road
or soft surface, the rigidly linked drive wheels will
permit the car to continue moving nevertheless.
Note on operation
The rear differential lock can be engaged only
while the engine is running.

Driving and Driving Safety
179
Note on operation
If the Low Range indicator light next to the rocker
switch flashes rapidly after the ignition is swit-
ched on, there is a fault in the shifting system.
fHave the vehicle checked immediately.
Please consult an authorized Porsche dealer.
If the Low Range indicator light next to the rocker
switch flashes when you attempt to operate
rocker switch, then at least one condition for shif-
ting has not been met:
Vehicles with manual transmission
– Vehicle is not stationary.
– Brake is not pressed.
– Gearshift lever in not in neutral.
Vehicles with Tiptronic S
– Vehicle has exceeded or gone below the limit
speed.
– Tiptronic selector lever is not in position N.
Sport ModeFunction
The sports exhaust system is switched on and a
sportier car set-up is obtained when Sport mode
is switched on.
Interventions by the Porsche control systems are
intentionally shifted towards greater agility and
driving performance.
– PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Manage-
ment) is automatically changed to Sport mode,
resulting in a stiffer suspension setup.– PDCC (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control) is
automatically set to Sport mode, and this
further reduces the roll tendency of the
vehicle.
– The air suspension automatically changes to
the low level setting.
– The Tiptronic S transmission changes to a
sportier shift strategy.
The gear-changing points are shifted to higher
speed ranges. Upward shifts are initiated later,
and deceleration shifts are performed earlier.
The vehicle moves off in 1st gear.
– The electronic accelerator pedal reacts
sooner, and the engine is more responsive to
throttle inputs.
– Sporty engine tuning is activated.

SUSPENSION MANAGEMENT (PASM)” on

Driving and Driving Safety Switching Sport mode on and off
Sport mode can be activated when the ignition is
switched on and when the on-road driving program
High Range (without reduction) is selected.
fPress SPORT button E in the center console.
When Sport mode is switched on, the light-
emitting diode F in the SPORT button is lit.
When Sport mode is switched on, the logo SPORT
appears on the multi-purpose display.
After the ignition is switched off, Sport mode is
automatically reset to Normal mode.
Warning messages
A warning appears on the multi-purpose display of
the instrument panel in the event of a fault.
fFor information on warning messages on the
multi-purpose display:
Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on Page 149.Vehicles with air suspension
If you wish to use the characteristics of Sport
mode and the sports exhaust system, but would
like a more comfortable running-gear setup, you
can:
– switch PASM and PDCC separately to Normal
or Comfort mode and/or
– raise the ride height of the vehicle.
fPress the corresponding PASM button in the
center console. The light-emitting diode in the
button of the selected running-gear setup
lights up.
In addition, the selected running-gear setup is
shown on the multi-purpose display of the
instrument panel for approx. 12 seconds.
Please see the chapter “PORSCHE ACTIVE
SUSPENSION MANAGEMENT (PASM)” on
Page 193.
Please see the chapter “PORSCHE DYNAMIC
CHASSIS CONTROL (PDCC)” on Page 194.
Press the rocker switch in the center console for-
ward. The corresponding light-emitting diode next
to the rocker switch lights up continuously after
the adjustment process. The level change is also
indicated on the multi-purpose display of the in-
strument panel.
