Stopping timing
You can stop the stopwatch at any time.
The stopwatch time B stops.
Continuing timing
You can resume timing again after stopping the stopwatch.
The stopwatch time B continues.
Resetting the stopwatch time
The stopwatch time can be reset to zero.
All stopwatch time displays are reset to zero.
G-Force Menu
In the “ G-Force” main menu, the current lateral and longitudinal acceleration forces are shown graphically in the form of a circular diagram. The maximum occurring longitudinal and lateral acceleration forces are displayed in the “ G-Force max ” sub-menu. The values can be reset via the menu item “ Reset”.
Performance Menu
Torque
In the “Performance” main menu, the current torque is displayed graphically as a function of engine speed.When “ Sport” or “Sport Plus” mode is activated, the additional on-demand torque (overboost function) appears as a white area in the curve.
For information on the overboost function:fPlease see the chapter “OVERBOOST FUNCTION” on page 188.

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.

188 Driving and Driving Safety
Dynamic Engine Mounting (PADM)
On vehicles with Sport Chrono package
Dynamic Engine Mounting with variable damping is a system designed to enhance both driving dynamics and driving comfort. Depending on the driving situation, the ideal mounting rigidity and damping is automatically set in the range between an rigid engine-to-body connection (increase in driving dynamics) and decoupling of the engine from the body (increase in driving comfort).
“Sport” mode
When “ Sport” mode is switched on, a more rigid engine-to-body connection is achieved for a sporty driving style.
“Sport Plus” mode
When “ Sport Plus” mode is switched on, an optimal engine-to-body connection is achieved for driving on race circuits.
Warning message
Dynamic engine mounting faults are indicated by a warning message on the multi-function display.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
“Sport” and “Sport Plus” mode
The selectable chassis settings mean that the vehicle can offer various modes for a sportier overall setup.The “ Sport” mode pushes the control systems more in the direction of greater emotionality and performance during every day driving.
In “ Sport Plus” mode, maximum performance is set for race-circuit-like driving:– In “ Sport Plus” mode: PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) is automatically changed to “ Chassis Normal” or “Chassis Sport” mode. – In “ Sport Plus” mode: Like PASM, PDCC is switched to the corresponding “ Sport” mode, whereby the rolling movements of the vehicle are reduced further, depending on the selected mode.– The PDK transmission switches to a sporty gear-changing map and shortens the gear shifting times when Sport mode is activated. Gear changes take place faster.– The electronic accelerator pedal reacts sooner, and the engine is more responsive to throttle inputs. When Sport mode is switched on and the vehicle is traveling at a speed of less than 40 km/h (25 mph), this function is activated only after the driver has floored the accelerator pedal or released it briefly.– The rpm limiter characteristic is “harder”. In other words: the engine is immediately throttled when the performance limits are reached (only in manual selection mode on vehicles with PDK).
– PSM (Porsche Stability Management) control is more sporty in “ Sport Plus” mode. PSM interventions are later than in Normal mode. The driver can maneuver the vehicle with greater agility at its performance limits, without having to dispense with the assistance of PSM in emergency situations. This helps to achieve optimal lap times, particularly on race circuits with a dry road surface.– PADM changes to more sporty maps for the dynamic engine mountings to achieve a stiffer engine-to-body connection.In “ Sport” for a sporty driving style, in “ Sport Plus” mode for race-circuit-like driving. – PTV Plus changes to a more dynamic map when “ Sport Plus” is switched on. – The dynamic cornering light reacts more spontaneously to steering angle changes.– The sports exhaust system is be switched to a sound-optimized mode, but can be switched off separately via the button.The Auto Start Stop function and coasting mode are deactivated.fPlease read the relevant chapters.
Overboost function
On vehicles with Sport Chrono package
When “ Sport” or “Sport Plus” mode is switched on and the accelerator is fully pressed, the boost pressure is temporarily increased by approx. 2 psi (0.15 bar) in the medium engine-speed range and the maximum torque increases.
For information on the torque display:fPlease see the chapter “PERFORMANCE MENU” on page 116.
