Driving and Driving Safety
187
Warning light
If the ABS warning lights light up in the instrument
panel and on the multi-purpose display of the
instrument panel while the engine is running, the
ABS has switched off because of a fault.
In this event, the braking system will operate with-
out lock prevention,as in cars without ABS.
fAdapt your driving style to the changed
braking behavior.
fThe ABS must be checked immediately at an
authorized Porsche dealer. This is necessary
in order to prevent the occurrence of further
faults whose effects cannot be defined.
The ABS control unit is adjusted for the approved
tire dimensions.
The use of tires with non-approved dimensions can
lead to different wheel speeds, causing the ABS to
switch off.
Off-road ABS
(ABS in Low Range program)
When Low Range is active, an ABS specially
matched to off-road driving is activated automati-
cally.In the event of braking on loose ground, the per-
missible slip values for ABS braking are increased
so that the off-road braking distance is reduced
(wheels dig into the surface).
If the driver needs to steer, this off-road driving
program is automatically switched off to maintain
steerability.
Hillholder -
moving-off assistant on vehicles with
Tiptronic SIn Tiptronic selector lever positions D and M, the
hillholder function makes it easier to move off
from a standstill on an upward slope when the
engine is running. The driver does not have to
apply the brake.
The hillholder thus makes moving off on slopes
easier.
Danger!
Risk of accident, resulting in serious perso-
nal injury or death.
The vehicle can roll backwards if the Hillhol-
der is switched off.
fAlways apply the footbrake on slopes.Hillholder is not active:
– In Tiptronic selector lever positions N and R
– In the limp-home mode and
– If not all of the wheels are touching the ground
(on difficult terrain, for example).
Warning!
In spite of the advantages of the hillholder func-
tion, it is still the driver’s responsibility to adapt
her/his driving style and maneuvers in line with
situational conditions.
The increased safety that is provided should not
induce you to take greater risks with your safety.
The limits set by the physics of driving cannot be
overcome, even with the hillholder function.
Driving at the limits should be avoided, e.g., on icy
slopes or on slippery surfaces. In this and similar
cases, the support of the hillholder function is not
guaranteed.
