The warning light in the instrument panel lights up: – When a loss in pressure has been detected (warning light: lights up continuously).– In the event of a defect in TPMS or a temporary fault (warning light: flashes for 60 seconds, then lights up continuously).– When learning new fitted wheels/wheel transmitters, as long as the vehicle’s own wheels have not yet been recognized (warning light: flashes for 60 seconds, then lights up continuously).
A warning message also appears on the multi- function display in the instrument panel.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument panel goes out only when the cause of the fault has been rectified.
Changing a wheel and replacing tires
fNew wheels must be fitted with radio transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Before tires are changed, the battery charge condition of the wheel transmitters should be checked.fPlease contact an authorized Porsche dealer.fSwitch off the ignition when changing a wheel.
The tire settings on the multi-function display must be updated after changing a wheel.If the tire settings are not updated, the message “Tire change? Update settings” is displayed on the multi-function display.fUpdate the multi-function display settings the next time the vehicle is stationary.
Pressure increase as the result of temperature increase
In accordance with physical principles, the tire pressure changes as the temperature changes.For every 18 °F (10 °C) change in temperature, the tire pressure increases or decreases by around 1.5 psi/0.1 bar/10 kPa.
Partial monitoring
Monitoring of the other wheels is continued if there is a fault in one or two wheel transmitters.– The tire pressure warning light lights up.– The message “Restricted monitoring” appears on the multi-function display.– No tire pressures are displayed on the multi-function display for wheels with faulty wheel transmitters.
No monitoring
In the event of faults, Tire Pressure Monitoring System cannot monitor the tire pressure. The warning light on the instrument panel lights up and a corresponding message appears on the multi-function display.
Monitoring is not active: – In the event of a defect in TPMS or if more than 2 wheel transmitters are defective.– If wheel transmitters for Tire Pressure Monitoring System are missing.– During the learning phase after the tire settings have been updated.– After a wheel change without updating the tire settings.– If more than four wheel transmitters are recognized.– If there is external interference by other radio sources, e.g. wireless headphones.– If tire temperatures are too high.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.

Driving and Driving Safety 153
Vehicles without Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
Even though the brake disks consist of alloyed gray cast iron, they will unavoidably start to corrode if your car is parked for an extended period. The brakes will tend to “rub” as a result.The nature, extent and effects of corrosion depend on the amount of time the vehicle was parked, whether road salt or grit was spread and whether grease-dissolving agents were used in car washes.
If the braking comfort is noticeably impaired, we recommend having the brake system checked by experts at an authorized Porsche dealer.
Brake system function
Your Porsche is equipped with a power assisted hydraulic dual circuit brake system with disk brakes at the front and rear. Both circuits function independently. One brake circuit operates the front left and rear right wheel and the other operates the front right and rear left wheel.
If one brake circuit has failed, the other will still operate. However, you will notice an increased pedal travel when you apply the brakes. Failure of one brake circuit will cause the stopping distance to increase.
Your vehicle is equipped with an emergency function in the extreme event of a complete hydraulic failure of the brake system. If your brake pedal goes all the way to the floor, do not pump the brakes. fPush the brake pedal down firmly and hold it in that position. A mechanical linkage activates the second circuit, and you will be able to bring the vehicle to a stop.fAfter bringing your vehicle to a complete stop, avoid driving the vehicle and instead have it towed to the nearest authorized Porsche dealer for repair.
Brake system warning light
You can check the functionality of the brake system warning light by switching the ignition to the “On” position (position 1) and verifying that the warning light illuminates.
Brake warning light USA
Brake warning light Canada
The warning light in the instrument panel lights up. A message will be displayed on the multi-purpose display of the instrument panel if the brake fluid level is too low, or (if the brake pedal travel has increased) one of the two brake circuits has failed.
A greater braking pressure will be required, stopping distances will be longer and the braking behavior will change, particularly in curves.
With correctly adjusted brakes and a correctly working brake system, the pedal travel to the point of brake application should be 1-3/16 in. to 1-9/16 in. (30 to 40 mm). Whenever the brake pedal travel exceeds this value, have the brake system checked.
Brake pedal
Unsuitable or incorrectly fixed floor mats or objects can reduce the travel of the brake pedal or prevent you applying the brake pedal.fAlways check the movement of the brake pedal before driving and make sure that it is not obstructed by a floor mat or any other object.fSecure the floor mat to prevent it from sliding into positions that could interfere with the safe operation of your vehicle.Your authorized Porsche dealer will be glad to offer you floor mats of the correct size including a securing possibility.
Information
In case one of the two brake circuits fails, increased pedal travel is required to bring your vehicle to a full stop.

Driving and Driving Safety 155
In heavy rain, while driving through water or after leaving a car wash, the braking action may be delayed and increased pressure may be required.fFor this reason, keep further back from the vehicle in front and “dry” the brakes by applying them at intervals. Make sure that the traffic behind you is not affected.
After a long drive over salted or gritted roads, a coating may form on the brake disks and pads that significantly reduces friction and therefore also braking effect.fEven though the brake disks consist of alloyed gray cast iron, they will unavoidably start to corrode if your vehicle is parked for an extended period. The brakes will tend to “rub” as a result.The nature, extent and effects of corrosion depend on the amount of time the vehicle was parked, whether road salt or grit was spread and whether grease-dissolving agents were used in car washes (not on vehicles with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake).To prevent corrosion of the brake disks, “brake them dry” before parking the vehicle (not on vehicles with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake).If braking comfort is noticeably impaired, we recommend that you have the brake system checked by experts at an authorized Porsche dealer.
fTo relieve the brake system on downhill stretches, change down to a lower gear in good time (engine braking).If engine braking is insufficient on steep stretches, operate the footbrake at intervals. Avoid continuous braking as it overheats the brakes and reduces the braking effect.
For information on brake fluid and checking the brake fluid level:fPlease see the chapter “BRAKE FLUID” on page 243.
New brake pads or linings
New brake pads 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 applies whenever the brake pads and/or brake disks are replaced.
A - Switch cruise control on/off 1 - Set/increase desired speed 2 - Reduce desired speed 3 - Interrupt (OFF) 4 - Return to set speed (RESUME)
Cruise Control
Cruise control maintains any selected speed between approx. 20–150 mph (30–240 km/h) without you having to use the accelerator.Cruise control is operated using the control stalk at the bottom left of the steering wheel.Downshifts are carried out to help maintain the pre-selected speed (especially when driving downhill).

If aftermarket systems are installed by non- dealership technicians or outside the selling dealer, problems may result. Installation of aftermarket equipment is not covered under the New Car Warranty. fConsult your authorized Porsche dealer about the installation of non-Porsche approved equipment.
Reception quality
The reception quality of your car telephone will change constantly when you are driving. Interference caused by buildings, landscape and weather is unavoidable. It may become particu-larly difficult to hear when using the hands-free function due to external noise such as engine and wind noise.
Automatic car-wash
fUnscrew external antennas before using an automatic car-wash.
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM)
Setting or operating the multi-function display, radio, navigation system, telephone or other equipment when driving could distract you from the traffic. You could lose control of the vehicle.fOperate the components while driving only if the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.fIf it is necessary to operate these components while the vehicle is in motion, use the function keys on the multi-functional steering wheel.
fRefer to the separate operating instructions before putting the PCM into operation.
When put into operation for the first time, a distance of approx. 3 miles (5 km) must be driven in order for the navigation system to complete the process of fine calibration. The same applies when the tires are changed (e.g. summer/snow tires) or new tires fitted. Full location accuracy is not yet achieved during the fine-calibration process.
If the vehicle has been transported (e.g. ferry, car train), the system may take a few minutes after being switched on before it determines the current location.
Serious tire slip (e.g. spinning wheels on snow) may result in temporarily inaccurate navigation.
When the battery has been disconnected, it may take up to 15 minutes before the navigation system is operational once more.
Satellite radio
You must have the satellite radio activated before you can put it into operation. You will need a contract with a provider in order to use this radio.fRefer to the separate radio operating instructions before putting into operation.

172 Driving and Driving Safety
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 or shift paddles 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.
Information
fTake care not to operate the shift buttons on the steering wheel inadvertently in either automatic or manual mode, thereby triggering undesired gear changes.
Changing selector-lever position
The selector lever is blocked in the P position when the ignition is switched off.
When the ignition is switched 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.
Starting
The engine can be started only if the brake pedal is depressed and the selector lever is in position P or N.
Driving off
fOnly select the desired position for driving off ( D, M or R) when the engine is idling and the brake pedal is pressed.fSince 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 for a short time during the change from the brake pedal to the accelerator to facilitate driving off immediately after the brake is released.fPlease see the chapter “HOLD FUNCTION: DRIVE-OFF ASSISTANT, STANDSTILL MANAGEMENT” on page 184.
Stopping
fFor a brief stop, e.g. at traffic lights, leave the selector lever in drive position and hold the vehicle with the brake pedal.fDo not hold the vehicle on a slope using the accelerator. Use the brake pedal or the electric parking brake instead.fBefore leaving the vehicle, always apply the electric parking brake and move the selector lever to position P.
Parking
fGo easy on the accelerator!fWhen parking or maneuvering in a small space, control the speed by careful use of the footbrake.

is suppressed because here, the vehicle does not slow down, despite the engine overrun torque and no fuel is consumed in this driving situation due to utilization of the overrun shut-off.
Ending coasting mode/utilizing engine braking effect
fPress the accelerator or brake pedalor Operate a shift paddle or a shift button or Shift gear using the selector lever.
Initiating coasting mode manually
– Driving in selector lever position D or driving in selector lever position M
When coasting mode is suppressed, e.g. in the case of sporty driving, sudden release of the accelerator pedal or excessively low engine temperature, coasting mode can be initiated manually.fTake your foot off the accelerator pedal and shift past the highest possible gear with the shift paddle, one of the shift buttons, or with the selector lever.
Switching coasting mode on and off using the Auto Start Stop button
Switching off
fPress button . The indicator light on the button lights up.Coasting mode is switched off and automatic stopping of the engine is suppressed.
Switching on
fPress button . The indicator light on the button goes out.Coasting mode is switched on and the engine is automatically stopped when the vehicle stops.
“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.
Braking 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.fPlease see the chapter ““SPORT” AND “SPORT PLUS” MODE” on page 188.
Driving off with Launch Control
Launch Control allows you to achieve maximum acceleration from standstill.
Launch Control is designed to be used in a controlled environment on closed circuit driving courses where no vehicle cross traffic or pedestrian traffic is present.fUse Launch Control only if conditions permit it to be applied in a safe manner.fDo not use Launch Control if there is a possibility it could endanger other persons.Such a possibility exists if you cannot see that you have a clear road with no possibility of cross traffic in your intended direction of driving.
Information
Stress on components increases dramatically when starting with maximum acceleration in comparison with normal driving off.
Preconditions: – Launch Control should only be used when the engine has reached operating temperature.–“ Sport Plus” mode must be switched on (indicator light on the button comes on and SPORT PLUS appears on the digital speedometer or on the steering wheel).1. Press the brake with your left foot. 2. Quickly press the accelerator down fully (kickdown activated) and hold it.The engine speed will level off at around 5,500 rpm.“ Launch Control activated” is displayed on the multi-function display.Depending on equipment, the “LAUNCH CONTROL” logo appears on the steering wheel.3. Release the brake within a few seconds.
Remaining stationary for a long time with LAUNCH CONTROL can lead to overloading of the transmission.To protect the transmission, the engine power is then reduced and the LAUNCH CONTROL process is cancelled.
In order to drive off, the accelerator must first be fully released.

fPull both shift paddles simultaneously and release them again immediately. Transmission in N – Neutral.
The vehicle rolls with the engine disengaged and at idle speed without engine braking effect. The number in the gear indicator goes out and the selector lever position flashes.
Power transmission can be re-established by pulling one of the shift paddles or by actuating the selector lever.
At low speeds approaching standstill, the brake must be actuated in order to establish power transmission.
Fast gear shifting by repeated operation of the selector lever, shift buttons or shift paddles.
You can shift up or down by the corresponding number of gears by quickly operating the selector lever, the shift buttons or the shift paddles several times in succession.
Gear changes that would exceed the upper or lower engine-speed limit are not executed by the control unit.
There is no automatic upshift at the upper engine- speed limit in selector-lever position M. Upshift suppression can be cancelled by kickdown operation. If, for example, the engine-speed limit is reached during overtaking and an automatic upshift does not occur, the transmission shifts up in this case as a result of kickdown operation.fSelect an appropriately low gear on upward and downward slopes.This will ensure optimum use of engine power and engine braking.
Upshift prompt for fuel-economy- optimized driving
The consumption-oriented upshift indicator A in the tachometer at the right beside the digital speed display helps you to develop a fuel-saving driving style.
The upshift indicator lights up – prompting you to shift up to the next-higher gear – depending on the selected gear, engine speed and accelerator pedal position.fChange to the next-higher gear when the upshift indicator lights up.
