Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is a seven-speed
transmission with an “automatic” and a “manual”
selection mode.
In automatic selection mode (selector-lever
position D), gear changing is automatic.
You can change temporarily from automatic to
manual mode using the shift buttons on the
steering wheel.
In manual selection mode (selector-lever
position M ), you change gear using the shift
buttons on the steering wheel or with the PDK
selector lever.
You can change between selector-lever
positions D and M as you wish while driving.
Note
f Take care not to operate the shift buttons on
the steering wheel in advertently in either
automatic or manual mode, thereby triggering
undesired gear changes.
Changing the selector-lever positionThe selector lever is blocked when the ignition is
switched off.
When the ignition is switch ed on, the selector lever
can be moved from position P and N only when
the release button is pressed, and when the brake
pedal is pressed.
Release button
The release button ( arrow) in the selector lever
prevents the gear from being changed
unintentionally.
The release button must be pressed when shifting
to position R or P.
StartingThe engine can only be started using the car key
if the brake pedal is pressed and the selector lever
is in position P or N.Driving offf Only select the desired position for driving off
(D, M or R) when the engine is idling and the
brake pedal is pressed.
f Since the vehicle crawls when in gear,
do not release the brake until you are ready
to drive off.
Driving off on hills
The Drive-Off Assistant assists the driver when
driving off on hills. The vehicle is held on the slope
when the driver changes from the brake pedal to
the accelerator to facilitate driving off immediately
after the brake is released.
f Please see the chapter “HOLD FUNCTION:
DRIVE-OFF ASSISTANT AND STANDSTILL
MANAGEMENT” on page 206.

Selector-Lever PositionsP – Parking lockfEngage parking lock only when the vehicle is
stationary.
If selector-lever position P is flashing in the
instrument panel, the parking lock is not
engaged. The vehicle can roll away.
Shift again from selector-lever position R to P.
f Activate the electric parking brake and then
engage the parking lock.
If selector-lever position P is flashing in the
instrument panel, the parking lock is not
engaged. The vehicle can roll away.
Shift again from selector-lever position R to P.
The ignition key can be removed only in selector-
lever position P.R – Reverse gearf Select only if the vehicl e is stationary and the
brake is applied.N – Neutral (idling)Selector-lever position N must be selected for
towing or in car washes, for example.
f Only select the desired position for driving off
(D , M or R) when the engine is idling and the
brake pedal is pressed.
D – Automatic selection modeSelect position D for “normal” driving. The gears
are shifted automatically according to the
accelerator position and speed.
Depending on the way the vehicle is driven
(economical, comfortable or sporty driving style)
and on the resistance (e.g. uphill), the gear-
changing points are shifted towards higher or
lower engine-speed ranges.
The accelerator position, driving speed, engine
speed, longitudinal and lateral acceleration and
the road profile all have an influence on the gear-
changing characteristic.
Unwanted upshifts, e.g. when entering
bends, are prevented by swiftly releasing the
accelerator pedal.
Depending on lateral acceleration, upshifts on
bends are not made until the engine-speed limit
is reached.
When you brake, and depending on the amount of
deceleration, the PDK transmission changes down
earlier.
For subsequent cornering, the right gear is
engaged when pressure is applied to the brakes
before the bend. The bend is taken in the right
gear, and when you accelerate out of the bend you
do not have to change down.
With a sporty driving style, downshifts are already
initiated when the brake pedal is touched lightly.
This further enhances a dynamic driving style. The PDK transmission temporarily changes to the
sportiest gear-changing map, i.e. to the highest
possible gear-changing points, if the accelerator
pedal is pressed quickly. The transmission
accordingly shifts down
immediately by one or
two gears (temporary change-down).
The transmission no longer selects 7th gear
at high driving speeds.
“Sport” and “Sport Plus” Mode “Sport” mode activated:
The PDK transmission switches to a sporty gear-
changing map and shortens the shifting times.
A sporty driving style is recognized more quickly
and the gear-changing speeds are adapted to
driving performance.
Deceleration downshifts are initiated earlier.
Downshifts occur for small decelerations,
even at higher revs.
“Sport Plus” mode activated:
In “Sport Plus” mode, the PDK transmission
changes to a shift program designed for driving
on race circuits. 7th gear is not selected.
The gear-changing performance is enhanced
significantly again compared with “Sport” mode.
f Please see the chapter ““SPORT” AND “SPORT
PLUS” MODE” on page 212.

A- Front carrier, long
B -Rear carrier, short
C -Cover trims
D - Torque wrench
E - Roof channel protectors
F -KeyFitting the roof transport systemWhen fitting the roof transport system for the first
time, the front and rear carrier must be adjusted
according to the width of the vehicle.
Roof channel protectors can also be secured to
the vehicle when fitting the roof transport system
for the first time. These protectors make it easier
to fit the roof transport system and protect the
fastening recesses in the roof rails from damage. 1. Open the cover flap on the roof rails.
2. Unscrew plastic screws from the retaining
threads.
f Make sure not to lose the plastic screws.
Note
When you have removed the roof transport
system, the plastic screws can be screwed back
into the retaining threads to prevent dirt from
getting into the threads. 3. Position the long carrier
A at the front and
the short carrier B at the rear loosely on the
fastening recesses.
f Fastening screws on the carriers must not
protrude underneath as this would damage
the vehicle.
f Make sure that the carriers are aligned in
accordance with the specifications on the
stickers on the underside of the carriers.

4. Remove the handle of the torque wrench D.
5. Loosen screws on the underside of
the carriers using the short side of the
torque wrench.
The carriers can be adjusted to fit the width
of the vehicle.
f Once you have adjusted the width of the
carriers, tighten the screws again using the
short side of the torque wrench. 6. Lift up the carriers slig
htly and fit roof channel
protectors E into the mounts on the underside
of the carriers.
7. Remove protective film from the bonding areas of the roof channel protectors.
f Check that the fastening recesses on the
roof rails are perfectly clean and free of
dust and grease. 8. Carefully fit the carriers into the fastening
recesses.
The roof channel protectors E are bonded
permanently into the fastening recesses.
These protect the paintwork in the fastening
recesses during repeated fitting of the roof
transport system and make fitting easier.
9. Unlock the cover flaps with the key.
10.Fold the cover flaps up fully.
