Driving and Driving Safety 175
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.

180 Driving and Driving Safety
Despite the advantages of transmission and chassis control systems, it is still the driver’s responsibility to adapt his driving style and maneuvers in line with road and weather conditions, as well as the traffic situation.
The increased safety that is provided should not induce you to take greater risks with your safety. The limits set by the physics of driving cannot be overcome.These systems cannot reduce the risk of accidents due to inappropriate speed.fAdapt your driving style, maneuvers and speed to the road and weather conditions, as well as the traffic situation.
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM)
Porsche Traction Management is an active allwheel control system designed to influence longitudinal and lateral dynamics. It is closely linked with the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system.
The permanently driven rear axle enhances the vehicle’s sporty features. Drive power is distributed fully variably to the front axle, depending on the driving situation.
In conjunction with PSM, the PTM system ensures perfect distribution of power among all four wheels in every driving situation. This improves traction and driving stability and ensures the same high level of agility and dynamic response.
In spite of the advantages of PTM and four-wheel drive, it is still the driver’s responsibility to adapt his driving style and maneuvers in line with road and weather conditions, as well as the traffic situation.
The increased safety that is provided should not induce you to take greater risks with your safety. The limits set by the physics of driving cannot be overcome, even with PTM or four-wheel drive.Risk of accidents due to inappropriate speed cannot be reduced by PTM or four-wheel drive.
Advantages of PTM
– Clearly perceptible improvement in traction, driving stability and steering ability of the vehicle.– Vehicle is more manageable when driven at its performance limits.– Improved straight-ahead tracking and greater stability.– More sporty vehicle setup while making full use of all the advantages of four-wheel drive.– ASR, ABD and PTV Plus further enhance traction for all wheels.
For information on ASR and ABD:fPlease see the chapter “PORSCHE STABILITY MANAGEMENT (PSM)” on page 181.
For information on current torque distribution between front and rear wheels in the multi-function display:fPlease see the chapter “ALLWHEEL MENU” on page 114.
