Driving and Driving Safety 165
–“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.

174 Driving and Driving Safety
Selector-lever Positions
P – Parking lock
fEngage parking lock only when the vehicle is stationary.If selector-lever position P is flashing in the instrument panel, the parking lock is not engaged. The vehicle can roll away.Shift again from selector-lever position R to P.fActivate the electric parking brake and then engage the parking lock.If selector-lever position P is flashing in the instrument panel, the parking lock is not engaged. The vehicle can roll away.Shift again from selector-lever position R to P.
Vehicles without Porsche Entry & Drive: The ignition key can only be removed in selector- lever position P.
R – Reverse gear
fSelect only if the vehicle is stationary and the brake is applied.
N – Neutral
Selector-lever position N must be selected for towing or in car washes, for example.fOnly select the desired position for driving off ( D, M or R) when the engine is idling and the brake pedal is pressed.
D – Automatic selection mode
Select position D for “normal” driving. The gears are shifted automatically according to the accelerator position and speed.
Depending on the way the vehicle is driven (economical, comfortable or sporty driving style) and on the resistance (e.g. uphill), the gear-changing points are shifted towards higher or lower engine-speed ranges.The accelerator position, driving speed, engine speed, longitudinal and lateral acceleration and the road profile all have an influence on the gear-changing characteristic.
Unwanted upshifts, e.g. when entering bends, are prevented by swiftly releasing the accelerator pedal.
Depending on lateral acceleration, upshifts on bends are not made until the engine-speed limit is reached.
When you brake, and depending on the amount of deceleration, the PDK transmission changes down earlier.For subsequent cornering, the correct gear is engaged when pressure is applied to the brakes before the bend. The bend is taken in the right gear, and when you accelerate out of the bend you do not have to change down.
With a sporty driving style, downshifts are already initiated when the brake pedal is touched lightly. This further enhances a dynamic driving style.
The PDK transmission temporarily changes to the sportiest gear-changing map, i.e. to the highest possible gear-changing points, if the accelerator pedal is pressed quickly. The transmission accordingly shifts down immediately by one or two gears (temporary downshift).
The transmission no longer selects 7th gear at very high driving speeds.
However, if necessary, the gear can be selected manually.
Upshifts and downshifts are avoided as far as possible when PSM is active. In the case of high wheel slip when PSM is switched off, upshifts are prevented until slip is no longer detected.
Driving in coasting mode
Through attentive driving, fuel can be saved in coasting mode. The vehicle rolls with the engine disengaged and at idle speed without engine braking effect.
Preconditions for automatic coasting mode – Driving in selector lever position D – Coasting mode is switched on.Indicator light on the button is off.– Sport and Sport Plus modes are switched off– PSM is active– Cruise control is not active– Engine, transmission and battery are at operating temperature– Calm/economic driving style– Slight uphill or slight downhill gradientsfSlowly take your foot off the accelerator.
The engine is disengaged and runs at idle speed. The vehicle rolls with no engine braking effect. Coasting mode is recognizable by the idle speed indicated on the tachometer.
Information
In the case of a sporty driving or when swiftly releasing the accelerator pedal, coasting mode is suppressed to allow targeted use of the engine braking effect. On more pronounced uphill gradients, “coasting” is also prevented as the coasting phases are very short due to the gradient and no significant fuel savings can be achieved. On more pronounced downhill gradients, coasting

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.
