Shifting Gear, Traction Systems
M - Manual selection mode (in the on-
road driving program)The functions of selector lever positions D and M
differ in the on-road program, High Range, and in
the off-road program, Low Range.
The currently selected gear is retained if you
change from D to M.
If you change from M to D, the gear-changing map
suitable for your current driving style is selected
and the appropriate gear is selected.
Warning!
The kickdown function is not active in manual
selection mode “M“.
The kickdown function cannot be used to
downshift in manual selection mode “M“.
fTherefore shift down manually when accelerat-ing (e.g. to overtake).
Shifting up
fPress upper part (+) of a rocker switch A or
fPush selector lever B forward in the M gate.
Shifting down
fPress lower part (–) of a rocker switch A or
fPush selector lever B back in the M gate.
Depending on driving speed and engine speed,
you can shift up or down at any time. Gear chang-
es which would exceed the upper or lower engine-
speed limit are not executed by the control unit.You can change down two gears by quickly press-
ing rocker switches A or selector lever B twice.
If PSM is active and the engine-speed limit is
reached, an automatic upward shift is performed
or, just before idling speed is reached, a down-
ward shift is performed.
fSelect an appropriately low gear on upward
and downward slopes.
This will ensure optimum use of engine power
and engine braking.
If manual mode fails, the control electronics
switch to automatic mode.
In this event, the instrument panel will display se-
lector lever position D.
fTo remedy the fault, please consult an author-
ized Porsche dealer.

road driving program)The functions of selector lever positions D and M
differ in the on-road program, High Range, and in
the off-road program, Low Range.

The kickdown function is not active in manual
selection mode “M“.
The kickdown function cannot be used to
downshift in manual selection mode “M“.
fTherefore shift down manually when accelerat-ing (e.g. to overtake).
Tip on driving
The kickdown function is not active in selector le-
ver position M.
Unlike in the road driving program, an automatic
upshift is not performed when the engine-speed
limit is reached.
Shifting up
fPress upper part (+) of a rocker switch A or
fPush selector lever B forward in the M gate.Shifting down
fPress lower part (–) of a rocker switch A or
fPush selector lever B back in the M gate.
Depending on driving speed and engine speed,
you can shift up or down at any time. Gear chang-
es which would exceed the upper or lower engine-
speed limit are not executed by the control unit.
You can change down two gears by quickly press-
ing rocker switches A or selector lever B twice.
The gear is changed down automatically just be-
fore idle speed is reached.
fSelect an appropriately low gear on upward
and downward slopes.
This will ensure optimum use of engine power
and engine braking.
If manual mode fails, the control electronics
switch to automatic mode. In this event, the instru-
ment panel will display selector lever position D.
fHave the fault eliminated at your authorized
Porsche dealer.
StoppingfFor a brief stop (e.g. at a traffic light), leave the
selector lever in drive position and hold the ve-
hicle with the brake pedal.
fDo not hold the car on a slope using the accel-
erator. Use the brake pedal or the parking
brake instead.
fBefore leaving the vehicle, always apply the
handbrake and move the selector lever to
position P.
Tip on driving
In selector lever positions D and M, the Hillholder
prevents the car from rolling backward when it has
been stopped on an upward slope with the engine
running.
fPlease observe the chapter “HILLHOLDER” on
Page 234.

If the Low Range indicator light beside the rocker
switch flashes when you attempt to operate rock-
er switch, the conditions for a shift have not been
met:
– Vehicle has exceeded or gone below the limit
speed.
– Selector lever is not in position N.
A- Rocker switch
B- Low Range is engagedChanging from on-road driving program
to off-road driving programfReduce speed to below 9 mph (15 km / h) or
stop vehicle.
fMove selector lever to position N.fPush rocker switch A forward until activation of
the off-road driving program is indicated on the
multi-purpose display of the instrument panel
and by illumination of light-emitting diode B.
The Low Range indicator light on the instru-
ment panel and light-emitting diode B beside
the rocker switch flash several times during
the shifting process.
Low Range is now engaged.
Danger!
Serious risk of injury or death. Risk of
accident due to uncontrolled vehicle
movement. The selector lever is blocked
during the shifting procedure. Shifting when
driving uphill can cause the vehicle to stand
still or even roll backwards, if the shifting
procedure has not yet been completed.
When driving downhill, the vehicle can accel-
erate unintentionally while shifting.
fIncreased brake readiness is required.

wheel at the rear axle loses traction on an icy road
or soft surface, the stiff through-drive function will
permit the vehicle to continue moving neverthe-

Note on operation
The rear differential lock can only be engaged
while the engine is running.
Hydraulically disengageable anti-roll barsThe front and rear anti-roll bars can be disengaged
to improve traction and comfort when driving off
road. This feature increases the wheel articulation.
Condition for disengaging the anti-roll bars
– Low Range is engaged.
Note
The anti-roll bars cannot be engaged if the wheel
articulation or lateral acceleration is too great.Disengaging
fPress button E.
Disengagement of the anti-roll bars is indicated
on the multi-purpose display of the instrument
panel and by illumination of light-emitting diode
F.
The light-emitting diode on the button flashes
several times during the disengagement
process.
The anti-roll bars are disengaged.
Note on operation
The anti-roll bars cannot be disengaged manually
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).
Engaging
fPress button E.
Light-emitting diode F on the button flashes
several times during the engagement
process and then goes out.
The anti-roll bars are engaged.
Note on operation
The anti-roll bars are engaged automatically when
a speed of 30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded or
when the lateral acceleration value is high.
Notes
Engagement of the anti-roll bars is audible.
At temperatures below –4°F (–20 °C), the anti-roll
bars take somewhat longer to engage.
