2- OFF - Interrupt (push away from driver)
3-+ SPEED - Accelerate (raise clockwise)
4-– SPEED - Decelerate (lower counter-clockwise)Cruise ControlCruise control maintains any selected speed be-
tween 25 and 124 mph (40 - 200 km/h) without
your having to use the accelerator.
The cruise control is operated with the operating
lever on the steering wheel.

quent personal injury, on twisting roads or
under unfavorable road conditions (e.g. win-
try or wet conditions, varying road surfaces).
fDo not use cruise control under such condi-
tions.
fObserve all local and national speed limits.
Risk of an accident, personal injury and loss
of control.
fDo not reach through the steering-wheel spokes while driving.

Accelerating (e.g. to overtake)Option 1
fIncrease the speed as usual with the accelera-
tor.
When you ease off the accelerator, the previ-
ously stored value is set again.
Option 2
fPush operating lever upwards into position 3
until the desired speed is reached.
The speed reached is maintained and stored
when the operating lever is released.
Option 3
fPush operating lever slightly upwards into po-
sition 3 (a maximum of 10 times).
The speed is increased by 1 mph (2 km/h).
Note on operation
Cruise control operation is automatically interrupt-
ed if the speed is increased by more than approx.
16 mph (25 km/h) for longer than 20 seconds.
DeceleratingOption 1
fPush operating lever down into position 4 until
the desired speed is reached.
The speed reached is maintained and stored
when the operating lever is released.
Option 2
fPush operating lever slightly downwards into
position 4 (a maximum of 10 times).
The speed is reduced by 1 mph (2 km/h).
Interrupting cruise control operationThe speed driven before the interruption remains
stored in the memory.
fPush forward the operating lever to position 2
(it doesn’t engage) or
fPress brake pedal or
fSwitch selector lever to position N.
fPlease observe the chapter “TIPTRONIC S” on
Page 214.
Cruise control operation is interrupted
automatically:
– If the set vehicle speed is exceeded by more
than approx. 16 mph (25 km/h) for longer than
20 seconds.
– If the actual vehicle speed falls by approx.
6 mph (10 km/h) below the set vehicle speed
for longer than 5 seconds (e.g. upward
slopes).
– If Porsche Stability Management (PSM) inter-
venes for longer than 0.2 seconds.
– If Low Range is switched on.

Controls, Safety, Instruments
Resuming the stored speedfPull back the operating lever to position 1.
Note on operation
The stored speed should only be recalled when
traffic conditions and the road surface so permit.Switching cruise control readiness offfPush forward the operating lever to position 2
until it clicks audibly into place.
The memory is cleared and the green
readiness light goes out.
When the vehicle is parked and the ignition
switched off, the memory is cleared.
Tip on driving
On upward or downward slopes, the set speed
cannot always be maintained by cruise control.
fTo obtain sufficient engine braking or a better
engine-speed range, therefore, you have to
change down to a lower gear.
