The manual selection mode remains engaged:
– For passing
– Depending on lateral acceleration
– When the vehicle is stationary (e.g. at a
junction).
The system leaves manual selection mode:
– Automatically after around 8 seconds
(unless car is subject to high lateral accelera-
tion, is passing or stationary),
– if you depress the accelerator to kickdown.
Kickdown
The kickdown function is active in selector lever
position D.
fFor optimum acceleration, e.g. when overta-
king, depress the accelerator pedal beyond
the full-throttle point (kickdown).
The transmission shifts down depending on the
speed of travel and engine speed.
Upward shifts occur at the highest possible engine
speeds.
These gear-changing speeds remain active until
the accelerator is released to approx. 80% of the
full-throttle position.
Tip on driving
Unlike in the on-road driving program, an automa-
tic upshift is not performed in manual selection
mode M when the engine-speed limit is reached.
M - Manual selection mode (in the on-
road driving program)
Warning!
The kickdown function is not active in manual
selection mode “M”.
The kickdown function cannot be used to
downshift in manual selection mode “M”.
fTherefore shift down manually when accelera-ting (e.g. to overtake).Shifting up
fPress upper part (+) of a rocker switch A or
fPush selector lever B forward in the M gate.
Shifting down
fPress lower part (–) of a rocker switch A or
fPush selector lever B back in the M gate.
Depending on driving speed and engine speed,
you can shift up or down at any time. Gear
changes which would exceed the upper or lower
engine-speed limit are not executed by the control
unit.
You can change down two gears by quickly pres-
sing rocker switches A or selector lever B twice.
If PSM is active and the engine-speed limit is
reached, an automatic upward shift is performed
or, just before idling speed is reached, a down-
ward shift is performed.
fSelect an appropriately low gear on upward
and downward slopes.
This will ensure optimum use of engine power
and engine braking.
If manual mode fails, the control electronics
switch to automatic mode.
In this event, the instrument panel will display
selector lever position D.
fTo remedy the fault, please consult an
authorized Porsche dealer.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM)PSM is an active control system for stabilization of
the vehicle during extreme driving maneuvers. It
operates together with the Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) system.
PSM makes use of both the ABD and TCS
systems, as well as the known functions of the
anti-lock brake system (ABS) and engine drag
torque control system (MSR).
Warning!
In spite of the advantages of PSM, it is still the
driver’s responsibility to adapt her/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.
Risks of accident 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 vehi-
cle reactions (load-alteration effect) when the
driver releases the accelerator pedal or brakes
on bends. This compensation functions up to
the maximum lateral acceleration.
– PSM actively stabilizes the vehicle as required
during dynamic driving maneuvers (e.g. rapid
steering movements, during lane changes or
on alternating bends).
– Improved braking stability on corners and on
different or varying road surfaces.
– Improved brake functioning and reduced
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:
– Driving speed
– Direction of travel (steering angle)
– Lateral acceleration
– Longitudinal 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 needed. If neces-
sary, PSM additionally influences the engine power
or the gear-changing characteristic of the
Tiptronic in order to stabilize the vehicle.

Driving and Driving Safety Indication of selected level
The selected level is displayed by light-emitting
diodes beside the rocker switch (illustration).
The corresponding light-emitting diode beside the
rocker switch flashes during the control process.
The light-emitting diode is continuously lit after the
control process.
The level change is also indicated on the multi-
purpose display of the instrument panel.
Exceptions
Automatic changes from normal level to low level
and back are not indicated on the multi-purpose
display of the instrument panel.
Warning messageVarious messages are indicated on the multi-pur-
pose display of the instrument panel if there is a
system fault or if the compressor switches off due
to overload.
fFor further information on warning messages
on the multi-purpose display:
Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on Page 149.
fAdapt your driving style to the changed condi-
tions.
fConsult an authorized Porsche dealer in order
to remedy a system fault.
fIf the overload-protection function causes the
compressor to switch off, wait for a time until
it has cooled down. The system will function
again as soon as it has cooled sufficiently.
The warning message appears when the control
system is switched off and when the collapsible
spare wheel is being filled. This does not indicate
a fault.
The warning message will go out once these
procedures have been completed.

ship technicians or outside the selling dealer,
problems may result. Installation of aftermarket
equipment is not covered under the New Car
Warranty.
fConsult your authorized Porsche dealer about
the installation of non Porsche approved equip-
ment.
Reception quality
The reception quality of your car telephone will
change constantly when you are driving. Interfe-
rence caused by buildings, landscape and wea-
ther is unavoidable. It may become particularly
difficult to hear when using the hands-free function
due to external noise such as engine and wind
noise.
Automatic car-wash
fUnscrew external antennas before using an au-
tomatic car-wash.
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM)
Warning!
There is danger of accident if you set or
operate the on-board computer, radio, navi-
gation system, telephone or other equipment
when driving.
This could distract you from traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle re-
sulting 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.
fIf it is necessary to operate these components
while the vehicle is in motion, use the function keys on the multi-functional steering wheel.
fRefer to the separate operating instructions
before putting the PCM into operation.
When put into operation for the first time, a
distance of approx. 3 miles (5 km) must be driven
in order for the navigation system to complete the
process of fine calibration. The same applies
when the tires are changed (e.g. summer/winter
tires) or new tires fitted. Full location accuracy is
not yet achieved during the fine-calibration
process.If the vehicle has been transported (e.g. ferry, car
train), the system may take a few minutes after
being switched on before it determines the current
location.
Serious tire slip (e.g. spinning wheels on snow)
may result in temporarily inaccurate navigation.
When the battery has been disconnected, it may
take up to 15 minutes before the navigation
system is operational once more.
Satellite radioYou must have the satellite radio activated before
you can put it into operation. You will need a
contract with a provider in order to use this radio.
fRefer to the separate radio operating instruc-
tions before putting into operation.

Programming a button on the keypad
Caution!
Risk of damage. When programming a gara-
ge door or gate, the door or gate may open
and close several times in quick succession,
causing the motor to overheat.
fUnplug the garage door or gate during the pro-
gramming procedure to prevent the motor from overheating.
1. Press and hold the desired button on the
keypad until light-emitting diode B starts to
flash slowly (may take up to 20 seconds).
Do not release the button before step 3 has
been completed.2. Hold the original remote control approx.
5–30 cm in front of the marked position C.
Make sure that the battery in the original
remote control is new.
3. Press and hold the button on the original remo-
te control until light-emitting diode B flashes ra-
pidly.

4. Press the programmed button on keypad A.
If the light-emitting diode B lights up conti-
nuously after programming, this means that
the system is a fixed-code system. Program-
ming is now completed.
If light-emitting diode B again flashes rapidly
for a short time after programming and then
lights up continuously for approx. 2 seconds,
this means that the system is a changeable-
code system. HomeLink must then be synchro-
nized with the receiver of the garage door ope-
ner after programming.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 to program the other
buttons.
Synchronization for changeable-code
