The reduced tire tread depth means that there is an increased risk of aquaplaning on wet roads. fWhen driving on wet or mud-covered roads reduce speed significantly.
Sport tires have a smaller tread depth, and thus can reach their wear limit sooner.It is important to check tire wear frequently to avoid risk of serious personal injury or death from worn tires.fCheck tire wear frequently.
Driving on Race Circuit
(e.g. Sports Driving Schools, Club
Sport Events)
Brake fluid, brake pads and brake disks
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time. This accumulation of water lowers the boiling point and can impair braking action if the brakes are subjected to high temperatures, such as can occur on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events).
The brake fluid should therefore not be more than 12 months old if the vehicle is driven on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events).fFor more information, see the “ Maintenance” booklet.
Wear on the brake pads and brake disks depends to a great extent on the driving style and driving conditions. Wear on the brake components is increased as a result of high temperatures, such as can occur on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events). fBefore and after driving on race circuits (e.g. sports driving school, Club Sport events), it is important therefore to carry out a professional inspection of the brake pads and brake disks for wear.
Racing tires
The fitting of racing tires (e.g. slicks) for sporting events is not approved by Porsche.Very high cornering speeds can be achieved with racing tires. The resulting transverse acceleration values would jeopardize the adequate supply of oil to the engine.Porsche therefore refuses to accept any guarantee or liability for damage occurring as a result of non-compliance with this provision.
Setting and operating vehicle
components when driving
Setting or operating the multi-function display, radio, navigation system, telephone or other equipment when driving could distract you from the traffic. You could lose control of the vehicle resulting in serious personal injury or death.fOperate the components while driving only if the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.

Lights, Turn Signals and Windshield Wipers 79
Information
If the ignition key is removed and the door is opened while the lights are on, an audible signal (gong) warns of possible battery discharge.– In some countries, differences are possible due to legal requirements.
The vehicle’s exterior lights can mist up due to temperature and humidity. This misting will dry off after a sufficient distance has been driven.
Low beam/driving light
If the light switch is set to the position , the low beam is switched on automatically in the following situations:– Dusk– Darkness– Driving through tunnels– Rain– Highway driving (on vehicles with Porsche Dynamic Light System PDLS)
When the low beam is switched on, the indicator light on the speedometer lights up.
Information
Fog is not automatically recognized.fIn the event of fog, the driving light must be switched on manually.
Daytime driving lights
If the light switch is set to position (light off), the daytime driving lights come on automatically when the ignition is switched on.
If the light switch is set to position , the daytime driving lights come on automatically in bright conditions and when the ignition is switched on.
The daytime driving lights are not active when the light switch is set to position (low beam/driving light).
Automatic driving light assistant
The automatic driving light assistant is a comfort function. The driving light (low beam) is switched on and off automatically depending on the ambient brightness.
The automatic driving light assistant also controls the daytime driving lights, low beam, Automatic Coming Home lights and the equipment-dependent dynamic cornering light.
The automatic driving light assistant is activated when the light switch is set to the position .
Despite possible support by the driving light assistant, it is the responsibility of the driver to switch on the driving light using the conventional light switch in accordance with the relevant national regulations.
Activating the headlights using the driving light assistant therefore does not absolve the driver of responsibility for correct operation of the driving light.

Driving off again
The vehicle can be driven off again after being stopped and speed and distance control will be resumed, depending on the operating state of the adaptive cruise control system.
Adaptive cruise control active
1. Press the control stalk on the steering wheel upwards (position 4, RESUME). 2. Press the accelerator pedal briefly. Your vehicle drives off again automatically.
Information
Your vehicle will not drive off if the vehicle detected in front is stationary.
Adaptive cruise control is ready
Automatic speed and distance control can only be resumed when your vehicle is moving.1. Drive off normally. 2. Press the control stalk on the steering wheel upwards (position 4, RESUME). orSet or change the desired speed.
Interrupting and resuming cruise control and distance control
Interrupting cruise control and distance control – OFF
fPress the brake pedal.orPress the control stalk on the steering wheel downwards (position 3, OFF). Adaptive cruise control is inactive.The desired speed that was stored and the desired distance are retained.
Resuming cruise control and distance control – RESUME
fPress the control stalk on the steering wheel upwards (position 4, RESUME). The vehicle accelerates to the desired speed that was stored unless a vehicle traveling in front is detected as driving slower than the desired speed and the distance from this vehicle is less than the desired distance that was set.The status display B changes from grey to orange.orPress the control stalk on the steering wheel upwards and keep it pressed (position 4, RESUME ). The vehicle accelerates in a more sporty driving style to the desired speed that was stored.
Information
If speed and distance control was interrupted by moving the control stalk to position 3 (OFF), it can only be resumed again when the vehicle is moving and no stationary objects are detected in front.
Messages on the multi-function display
If adaptive cruise control was deactivated automatically or if an action cannot be performed, a message to this effect in blue appears on the multi-function display.–“ ACC not available” Adaptive cruise control is not available, e.g. when maneuvering.–“ ACC not possible ABS/PSM intervention” Adaptive cruise control was deactivated because ABS or PSM intervened as a control mechanism.–“ Release parking brake” Adaptive cruise control was deactivated because the electric parking brake was activated.–“ ACC not possible Move gear lever to D/M ” Adaptive cruise control was deactivated because the PDK selector lever is not in position D or manual position M. –“ ACC not possible while stationary” The required action is not possible because your vehicle is stationary, e.g. when setting a desired speed.–“ ACC not possible Revs too high” Adaptive cruise control was deactivated because the engine-speed limit was reached in manual position M of the PDK selector lever/ shift paddles.–“ ACC not possible Gradient too steep” The desired distance or the desired speed cannot be set because the incline of the road is too steep.–“ ACC not possible Stationary object ahead ” The action is not possible because a stationary object was detected ahead.

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.
