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.

Information
If pure water is added in an emergency, the mixing ratio will have to be corrected.A significant loss of coolant indicates a leak in the cooling system.fThe cause must be eliminated without delay. Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
Hands, fingers, items of clothing (ties, sleeves, etc.), necklaces or long hair can be drawn in by moving parts, e.g. the engine-compartment blowers, drive belt, etc., when working in the engine compartment.
The engine-compartment blowers are mounted under the engine compartment lid.After the engine is switched off, the engine compartment temperature is monitored for approx. 30 minutes.During this period, and depending on temperature, the engine-compartment blowers may continue to run or start to run.fCarry out work in this area only with the engine off and exercise extreme caution.
The engine and adjacent components become very hot when the engine is running.fExercise extreme caution when working in the engine compartment.
Brake Fluid
Regular checking of the brake fluid is part of servicing.
The fluid level should always be between the MIN and MAX markings.
A slight decrease in the fluid level due to wear and automatic readjustment of the disk brakes is normal.However, if the fluid level falls significantly or goes below the MIN marking, the brake system may have developed a leak.fHave the brake system checked immediately. Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
Brake fluid is hazardous to your health, and may be fatal if swallowed.fKeep brake fluid out of children's reach.fIf brake fluid gets into your eye, immediately rinse with clean water for a few minutes. Then see a doctor immediately.fPlease note all the information on the refill container of the brake fluid.
Brake fluid attacks and can damage paintwork.fImmediately rinse off spilled brake fluid with clean water.
Changing brake fluid
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time. The absorbed water can impair braking efficiency.fIt is important therefore to have the brake fluid changed in accordance with the change intervals specified in the “Maintenance” booklet.fUse only brake fluid authorized by Porsche.
Brake warning light USA
Brake warning light Canada
The warning light on the instrument panel and the warning message on the multi-function display alert you to the fact that the brake fluid level is too low and could indicate brake circuit failure if the pedal travel is greater than normal.

Electrical System
In order to avoid damage and faults in electrical or electronic systems, electrical accessories should be installed at an authorized Porsche dealerfUse only accessories approved by Porsche.
Replacing fuses or relays with the engine running or the ignition on could cause electrical shock.fDisconnect the negative terminal on the battery during all work on the electrical system.fPlease see the chapter “BATTERY (12 VOLT)” on page 271.
Relays
Relays should be checked or changed only at an authorized workshop.
Changing fuses
In order to prevent damage to the electrical system due to short circuits and overloads, the individual circuits are protected by fuses.
The fuse boxes are located in the side walls of the driver’s and passenger’s footwell respectively. 1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse. 2. Detach the appropriate plastic cover at the finger hole.3. Remove the relevant fuse (see fuse assignment) from its slot using the yellow plastic gripper A (left fuse box) in order to check it.A blown fuse can be identified by the melted metal strip.4. Replace only with fuses of the same rating. Spare fuses can be found in the left-hand fuse box, next to the yellow plastic gripper.We recommend that you use genuine Porsche fuses for replacement.
Information
If a fuse blows repeatedly, the cause of the fault must be corrected immediately.fPlease contact an authorized Porsche dealer.

Replacing Light-Emitting Diodes and Long-Life Bulbs
The vehicle lighting as well as the interior lights have light-emitting diodes and long-life bulbs.The LEDs cannot be replaced individually. Replacement of the long-life bulbs involves a greater amount of installation work.fHave defective LEDs and bulbs replaced at an authorized Porsche dealer.
The headlights are under high voltage when installed.fExercise extreme care when working close to the headlights.
Risk of short circuit.fAlways switch off the relevant load when changing bulbs.
Risk of damage.
Bulbs of a high wattage can damage the housing.
Information
Bulbs must be clean and free from grease.fNever touch bulbs with your bare hands. Use a cloth or soft paper when replacing bulbs.fAlways carry spare bulbs with you.In certain countries, it is mandatory to carry spare bulbs.
Headlights
Risk of damage to headlights due to abrasion and excessive temperatures.fDo not affix any coverings (e.g. “stone guards” or film) close to the headlights.fUse soapy water only to clean light lenses and plastic headlight lenses. In no case may chemical cleaners or other volatile cleaning fluids be used.fTo prevent scratches, do not rub with a dry or merely moist cloth, tissue or insect sponges.
Information
The headlights and tail lights can mist up due to temperature and humidity.fTo ensure optimum ventilation, do not cover the gap between light and body.
