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.

Selector-lever Positions
P – Parking lock
fEngage 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.fActivate 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.
Vehicles without Porsche Entry & Drive: The ignition key can only be removed in selector- lever position P.
R – Reverse gear
fSelect only if the vehicle is stationary and the brake is applied.
N – Neutral
Selector-lever position N must be selected for towing or in car washes, for example.fOnly 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 mode
Select 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 correct 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 downshift).
The transmission no longer selects 7th gear at very high driving speeds.
However, if necessary, the gear can be selected manually.
Upshifts and downshifts are avoided as far as possible when PSM is active. In the case of high wheel slip when PSM is switched off, upshifts are prevented until slip is no longer detected.
Driving in coasting mode
Through attentive driving, fuel can be saved in coasting mode. The vehicle rolls with the engine disengaged and at idle speed without engine braking effect.
Preconditions for automatic coasting mode – Driving in selector lever position D – Coasting mode is switched on.Indicator light on the button is off.– Sport and Sport Plus modes are switched off– PSM is active– Cruise control is not active– Engine, transmission and battery are at operating temperature– Calm/economic driving style– Slight uphill or slight downhill gradientsfSlowly take your foot off the accelerator.
The engine is disengaged and runs at idle speed. The vehicle rolls with no engine braking effect. Coasting mode is recognizable by the idle speed indicated on the tachometer.
Information
In the case of a sporty driving or when swiftly releasing the accelerator pedal, coasting mode is suppressed to allow targeted use of the engine braking effect. On more pronounced uphill gradients, “coasting” is also prevented as the coasting phases are very short due to the gradient and no significant fuel savings can be achieved. On more pronounced downhill gradients, coasting
