Rain sensor operation, windshield wipers
In rain sensor mode, the amount of rain on the windshield is measured. The wipe interval is automatically controlled accordingly.
Rain sensor operation is activated automatically at speeds of less than approx. 2.5 mph (4 km/h) when the windshield wipers are switched on.
If a speed of approx. 5 mph (8 km/h) is exceeded, the system switches to the preselected wiper speed.
Information
fIf the wiper stalk is in position 1 when the ignition is switched on, the rain sensor is activated as soon as the vehicle speed exceeds approx. 2.5 mph (4 km/h).fIf the wiper stalk is in position 2 or 3 when the ignition is switched on, the windshield wipers remain switched off until the wiper stalk is actuated.
Information
The wiper is stopped when the luggage compartment lid is opened.
After closing the luggage compartment lid, the wiper stalk must be operated in order to switch the wiper back on.

–“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.

166 Driving and Driving Safety
A – Vehicles changing lanes/cutting in
If a vehicle is changing lanes or cutting in ahead of you in the same lane, the vehicle will only be detected when it has moved completely into your lane.
B – Vehicles with a small cross-section/ narrow vehicles
Narrow or small vehicles will not be detected or will be detected too late.
C – Driving into and out of corners
When driving into and out of corners, vehicles will not be detected or will be detected too late, or adaptive cruise control will react to vehicles in adjacent lanes.
D – Stationary vehicles
A stationary vehicle that appears suddenly in the detection field of the radar sensor, e.g. after a vehicle in front changes lanes, will not be detected by adaptive cruise control.
Stationary vehicles are not detected by the radar sensor of the adaptive cruise control.fDrive with extreme care.fSlow down if necessary.
E – Vehicles with large overhangs
The tail of the vehicle will not be detected correctly on vehicles with large overhangs,e.g. timber lorries.
If there is a vehicle in front with a long overhang, the radar sensor of the adaptive cruise control is not able to detect the end of the vehicle or detects it incorrectly.fDrive with extreme care.fSlow down if necessary.Stationary vehicle not detected.WARNINGh
End of vehicle in front not detected correctly.WARNINGh

Driving and Driving Safety 167
Active Safety – Porsche “Active Safe”
The adaptive cruise control sensor is used for the Porsche “Active Safe” functions.
These include: – Brake system prefilling Prefilling of the brake system if the radar sensor detects that the vehicle is coming critically close to a moving obstacle in order to bridge the air gaps and improve braking response.– Brake Assist Reduction of the activation threshold of the Brake Assist function if the sensor detects that the vehicle is coming critically close to a moving obstacle.The activation threshold of the Brake Assist function is reduced in three stages, depending on how critical the danger situation is.– Target braking If the radar sensor detects that the vehicle is coming critically close to a moving obstacle and, at the same time, braking power is inadequate, brake pressure can be increased in accordance with the situation, through to full braking if required.
Information
All Porsche “Active Safe” functions are active for speeds of more than 20 mph (30 km/h).
Latent warning (visual)
If the vehicle is driving too close to the vehicle in front for a long time, to avoid a collision if the vehicle in front brakes, a latent warning appears on the multi-function display to warn the driver.fStay further back from the vehicle in front if necessary.
Prewarning (acoustic and visual)
If the radar sensor detects that the vehicle is coming critically close to and is very likely to collide with a moving obstacle in front, an acoustic and visual prewarning is issued. This warns the driver and still allows a collision to be prevented if the driver reacts accordingly.
Risk of collision with the vehicle in front.fBrake immediately.

Driving and Driving Safety 181
Porsche Stability Management
(PSM)
PSM is an active control system for stabilization of the vehicle during extreme driving maneuvers.
PSM makes use of both the automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR) systems, as well as the functions of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) and engine drag torque control system (MSR).
In spite of the advantages of PSM, 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 PSM.Risk of accidents due to inappropriate speed cannot be reduced by PSM.
Advantages of PSM
– Best possible traction and lane-holding ability in all driving situations – even on road surfaces with varying friction.– The system compensates for undesired vehicle reactions (Ferraria effect) when the driver releases the accelerator pedal or brakes on bends. This compensation functions up to the maximum lateral acceleration.– PSM actively helps to stabilize the vehicle if necessary during dynamic driving maneuvers (e.g. rapid steering movements, during lane changes, or on alternating bends).
– Improved braking stability on bends and on different or varying road surfaces.– Improved brake function and shorter stopping distance in the event of emergency braking.
Readiness for operation
PSM is switched on automatically every time you start the engine.
Function
Sensors at the wheels, brakes, steering system and engine continuously measure:– Speed– Direction of travel (steering angle)– Lateral acceleration– Axial acceleration– Rate of turn about the vertical axis
PSM uses these values to determine the direction of travel desired by the driver.PSM intervenes and corrects the course if the actual direction of motion deviates from the desired course (steering-wheel position):It brakes individual wheels as required. If necessary, PSM also influences the engine power or the gear-changing characteristic of Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) in order to stabilize the vehicle.
The events below inform the driver of PSM control operations and warn him to adapt his driving style to the road conditions:– PSM warning light on the instrument panel flashes.– Hydraulic noises can be heard.– The vehicle decelerates and steering-wheel forces are altered as PSM controls the brakes.– Reduced engine power.– The brake pedal pulsates and its position is changed during braking.In order to achieve full vehicle deceleration, foot pressure must be increased after the brake pedal has begun vibrating.
Examples of PSM control operations
– If the “front wheels of the vehicle drift” on a bend, the engine power is reduced and the rear wheel on the inside of the bend is braked if necessary.– If the rear of the vehicle swings out on a bend, the front wheel on the outside of the bend is braked.– Brake system prefilling:The brake system is prepared for possible subsequent emergency braking if the accelerator pedal is released suddenly and quickly. The brake system is prefilled and the brake pads are already applied gently to the brake disks.– Brake booster (Hydraulic Brake Assist):In the event of an emergency braking operation where the pedal force is insufficient, a brake booster provides the braking pressure necessary for maximum deceleration at all 4 wheels.
