which offers a choice between the com-
fort of fully automatic operation or the
pleasure of manual gear changing.
Therefore, three driving modes are of-
fered:
- the
automatic mode for automatic
control of the gears by the gearbox,
- the sequential mode for manual
changing of the gears by the driver,
- the auto sequential mode to over-
take, for example, remaining in auto-
matic mode while using the functions
of the sequential mode.

"PORSCHE TIPTRONIC SYSTEM" AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Six speed automatic gearbox which of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation, enhanced by
sport and snow programmes, or manual
gear changing.
Therefore, four driving modes are of-
fered:
- automatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the
gearbox,
- sport programme for a more dy-
namic style of driving,
- snow programme to improve driv-
ing when traction is poor,
- manual operation for sequential
changing of the gears by the driver.

grammed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning light,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display, indicates
a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
emergency mode and is locked in 3rd
gear. You may feel a substantial knock
when changing from P to R and from N
to R . This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.

switched off, an audible signal is
heard and a message appears.

 Return the lever to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the mes-
sage disappears.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selec-
tor between two positions).
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
In the event of under-revving or over-
revving, the gear selected fl ashes for a
few seconds, then the actual gear en-
gaged is displayed.
