On the road…
fNever drive after you have consumed alcohol or drugs.fAlways have your safety belt fastened.fAlways drive defensively. Expect the unexpected.fUse signals to indicate turns and lane changes.fTurn on headlights at dusk or when the driving conditions warrant it.fAlways keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, depending on traffic, road and weather conditions.fReduce speed at night and during inclement weather.Driving in wet weather requires caution and reduced speeds, particularly on roads with standing water, as the handling characteristics of the vehicle may be impaired due to hydro-planing of the tires.fAlways observe speed limits and obey road signs and traffic laws.fWhen tired, get well off the road, stop and take a rest. Turn the engine off. Do not sit in the vehicle with engine idling. Please see the chapter “ENGINE EXHAUST” on page 4.fWhen parked, always put the electric parking brake on and put the PDK selector lever in position P. On hills also turn the front wheels toward the curb.fWhen emergency repairs become necessary, move the vehicle well off the road. Turn on the emergency flasher and use other warning devices to alert other motorists. Do not park or operate the vehicle in areas where the hot exhaust system may come in contact with dry
grass, brush, spilled fuel or other flammable material.fMake it a habit to check the engine oil with every refueling.
Break in hints for the first
2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers)
The following tips will be helpful in obtaining optimum performance from your new Porsche.
Despite the most modern, high-precision manufacturing methods, the moving parts must still wear in with each other. This wearing-in occurs mainly in the first 2,000 miles (3,000 km).
Therefore:
fPreferably take longer trips.fAvoid frequent cold starts with short-distance driving whenever possible.fAvoid full throttle starts and abrupt stops.fDo not exceed maximum engine speed of 4,200 rpm (revolutions per minute).fDo not run a cold engine at high rpm either in Neutral or in gear.fDo not let the engine labor, especially when driving uphill. Shift to the next lower gear in time (use the most favorable rpm range).fNever lug the engine in high gear at low speeds. This rule applies at all times, not just during the break-in period.fDo not participate in motor racing events, sports driving schools, etc. during the first 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers).
There may be a slight stiffness in the steering, gear-shifting or other controls during the break-in period which will gradually disappear.
Break in brake pads and brake disks
New brake pads and disks have to be ”broken in“, and therefore only attain optimal friction when the car has covered several hundred miles or km.The slightly reduced braking ability must be compensated for by pressing the brake pedal harder. This also applies whenever the brake pads and brake disks are replaced.
New tires
New tires do not have maximum traction. They tend to be slippery.fBreak in new tires by driving at moderate speeds during the first 60 to 120 miles (100 to 200 km). Longer braking distances must be anticipated.
Engine oil and fuel consumption
During the break-in period oil and fuel consump-tion may be higher than normal.
As always, the rate of oil consumption depends on the quality and viscosity of oil, the speed at which the engine is operated, the climate and road conditions, as well as the amount of dilution and oxidation of the lubricant.fMake a habit of checking engine oil with every refueling, add if necessary.

150 Driving and Driving Safety
Information
The engine will start automatically in certain situations, e.g. if the vehicle starts rolling, if air conditioning causes reduced comfort, or if the brake vacuum is reduced.The engine is stopped again automatically if the preconditions for stopping the engine automatically are then met again.
Exceptions for the Auto Start Stop function
The Auto Start Stop function is deactivated e.g.: – When Sport mode is activated.– When PSM is off.– In maneuvering mode.– When A/C MAX mode is activated.– When the “Windshield defrost” function is active. – At altitudes above approx. 9,843 ft. (3,000 meters)
For information on switching on and off the Auto Start Stop function:fPlease see the chapter “SWITCHING AUTO START STOP FUNCTION AND COASTING MODE ON AND OFF” on page 150.
The Auto Start Stop function is available with limited functionality in the following situations, e.g.:– If the air conditioning or passenger compartment heating is operated at a high setting or if the defrost function is run for long time periods.– If the battery charging condition is low.– On upward or downward slopes.– During internal vehicle test procedures, e.g. automatic engine checks.
Information
If one of these situations arises after the engine has stopped automatically, the engine can be restarted automatically.
Reaction after leaving the vehicle (selector-lever position D or N selected)
If the vehicle is left after an automatic stop when PDK selector-lever position D or N is engaged, an automatic engine start is executed to remind the driver that the Auto Start Stop function is still active.
In selector-lever position D, the electric parking brake is additionally engaged.
The brake warning light on the instrument panel and the indicator light on the switch light up.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Reaction after leaving the vehicle (selector-lever position P selected)
If the vehicle is left after an automatic stop when PDK selector-lever position P is engaged, in order to open the garage door, for example, no automatic engine start is executed. Auto Start Stop mode is resumed if the driver closes the driver’s door and presses the brake within 30 seconds of leaving the vehicle.
If one of these requirements is not met, the engine has to be started manually. The
message “ Please start engine manually” will appear on the multi-function display in the instrument panel.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Switching Auto Start Stop function and coasting mode on and off
Switching off
fPress button . The indicator light on the button lights up.Automatic stopping of the engine is suppressed and gliding mode is switched off.
Switching on
fPress button . The indicator light on the button goes out.The engine is automatically stopped when the vehicle stops and gliding mode is switched on.fPlease see the chapter “DRIVING IN COASTING MODE” on page 174.

Driving and Driving Safety 165
–“ACC not possible Switch on PSM” Adaptive cruise control is not available because PSM was switched off.For information on Porsche Stability Management (PSM) :fPLEASE SEE THE CHAPTER “PORSCHE STABILITY MANAGEMENT (PSM)” on page 181.–“ ACC off” Adaptive cruise control was deactivated.– “ACC not possible Steering lock too large” The steering is turned too far.
General information
“Sport” and “Sport Plus” Mode
Adaptive cruise control regulates your driving more dynamically in “ Sport” and “Sport Plus” mode.
Exceptions for adaptive cruise control
Adaptive cruise control is not available in the following situations:– If the ignition is switched off.– When PSM is off.– If the driver’s door is opened and the driver’s safety belt is not fastened.– When parking or maneuvering in very tight spaces.– When the electric parking brake is activated.– If the PDK selector lever is in position N , R or P. – On upward or downward slopes of more than 15 %.
If one of these exception situations occurs when adaptive cruise control is switched on, adaptive cruise control will be switched off.A message to this effect appears on the multi-function display.
Warning messages
Overtake request when adaptive cruise control is active (ACC active)
If adaptive cruise control detects that braking assistance is required on the part of the driver, a warning signal sounds and the warning message “ Distance Please brake” appears on the multi- function display.
In this case, the braking power of the adaptive cruise control is not sufficient to prevent a collision.fBrake immediately.
Traffic situations in which vehicles cannot be reliably detected
The radar sensor for adaptive cruise control scans a narrow, cone-shaped area in front of your vehicle.Detection can be limited or unreliable, depending on the traffic situation and the size of the vehicle in front. The system may brake too late or unexpectedly.Stationary vehicles are not detected. The system cannot respond to stationary vehicles.fDrive with extreme care.fSlow down if necessary.
Inadequate braking power during automatic braking by the adaptive cruise control.
