Driving and Driving Safety 153
Vehicles without Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
Even though the brake disks consist of alloyed gray cast iron, they will unavoidably start to corrode if your car is parked for an extended period. The brakes will tend to “rub” as a result.The nature, extent and effects of corrosion depend on the amount of time the vehicle was parked, whether road salt or grit was spread and whether grease-dissolving agents were used in car washes.
If the braking comfort is noticeably impaired, we recommend having the brake system checked by experts at an authorized Porsche dealer.
Brake system function
Your Porsche is equipped with a power assisted hydraulic dual circuit brake system with disk brakes at the front and rear. Both circuits function independently. One brake circuit operates the front left and rear right wheel and the other operates the front right and rear left wheel.
If one brake circuit has failed, the other will still operate. However, you will notice an increased pedal travel when you apply the brakes. Failure of one brake circuit will cause the stopping distance to increase.
Your vehicle is equipped with an emergency function in the extreme event of a complete hydraulic failure of the brake system. If your brake pedal goes all the way to the floor, do not pump the brakes. fPush the brake pedal down firmly and hold it in that position. A mechanical linkage activates the second circuit, and you will be able to bring the vehicle to a stop.fAfter bringing your vehicle to a complete stop, avoid driving the vehicle and instead have it towed to the nearest authorized Porsche dealer for repair.
Brake system warning light
You can check the functionality of the brake system warning light by switching the ignition to the “On” position (position 1) and verifying that the warning light illuminates.
Brake warning light USA
Brake warning light Canada
The warning light in the instrument panel lights up. A message will be displayed on the multi-purpose display of the instrument panel if the brake fluid level is too low, or (if the brake pedal travel has increased) one of the two brake circuits has failed.
A greater braking pressure will be required, stopping distances will be longer and the braking behavior will change, particularly in curves.
With correctly adjusted brakes and a correctly working brake system, the pedal travel to the point of brake application should be 1-3/16 in. to 1-9/16 in. (30 to 40 mm). Whenever the brake pedal travel exceeds this value, have the brake system checked.
Brake pedal
Unsuitable or incorrectly fixed floor mats or objects can reduce the travel of the brake pedal or prevent you applying the brake pedal.fAlways check the movement of the brake pedal before driving and make sure that it is not obstructed by a floor mat or any other object.fSecure the floor mat to prevent it from sliding into positions that could interfere with the safe operation of your vehicle.Your authorized Porsche dealer will be glad to offer you floor mats of the correct size including a securing possibility.
Information
In case one of the two brake circuits fails, increased pedal travel is required to bring your vehicle to a full stop.

fPull both shift paddles simultaneously and release them again immediately. Transmission in N – Neutral.
The vehicle rolls with the engine disengaged and at idle speed without engine braking effect. The number in the gear indicator goes out and the selector lever position flashes.
Power transmission can be re-established by pulling one of the shift paddles or by actuating the selector lever.
At low speeds approaching standstill, the brake must be actuated in order to establish power transmission.
Fast gear shifting by repeated operation of the selector lever, shift buttons or shift paddles.
You can shift up or down by the corresponding number of gears by quickly operating the selector lever, the shift buttons or the shift paddles several times in succession.
Gear changes that would exceed the upper or lower engine-speed limit are not executed by the control unit.
There is no automatic upshift at the upper engine- speed limit in selector-lever position M. Upshift suppression can be cancelled by kickdown operation. If, for example, the engine-speed limit is reached during overtaking and an automatic upshift does not occur, the transmission shifts up in this case as a result of kickdown operation.fSelect an appropriately low gear on upward and downward slopes.This will ensure optimum use of engine power and engine braking.
Upshift prompt for fuel-economy- optimized driving
The consumption-oriented upshift indicator A in the tachometer at the right beside the digital speed display helps you to develop a fuel-saving driving style.
The upshift indicator lights up – prompting you to shift up to the next-higher gear – depending on the selected gear, engine speed and accelerator pedal position.fChange to the next-higher gear when the upshift indicator lights up.
