“Flat tyre” warningThe warning threshold for output of this warning
message is speed-dependent.
At a speed of below 100 mph (160 km/h), this
warning indicates a pressure loss of at least 7 psi
(0.5 bar); at a speed of above 100 mph
(160 km/h), the warning indicates a pressure loss
of at least 6 psi (0.4 bar). The message indicates
the wheel in which the pressure loss has been
detected. The deviation from the required
pressure is displayed for the corresponding
wheel. The tire pressure warning light on the
speedometer lights up in addition to the warning
message. This significant pressure loss is a
danger to road safety.
fThe warning message can be acknowledged
while driving.
To do this, press the ENTER button on the
wiper stalk. The tire pressure warning light on
the speedometer remains lit.
The measure display SELECTION AFTER
WARNING appears only after the ignition is
switched back on again.
The display shows: SELECTION AFTER WARNING1. Stop the vehicle immediately in a suitable
place.
2. Check the indicated wheel for damage.
3. Fill the tire or change the wheel, as appro-
priate.
- Adding air
Example: If the tire pressure display shows
“–7 psi (---0.5 bar)”, you must increase the tire
pressure by 7 psi (0.5 bar).

Note on operation
If the Low Range indicator light next to the rocker
switch flashes rapidly after the ignition is swit-
ched on, there is a fault in the shifting system.
fHave the vehicle checked immediately.
Please consult an authorized Porsche dealer.
If the Low Range indicator light next to the rocker
switch flashes when you attempt to operate
rocker switch, then at least one condition for shif-
ting has not been met:
Vehicles with manual transmission
– Vehicle is not stationary.
– Brake is not pressed.
– Gearshift lever in not in neutral.
Vehicles with Tiptronic S
– Vehicle has exceeded or gone below the limit
speed.
– Tiptronic selector lever is not in position N.
Sport ModeFunction
The sports exhaust system is switched on and a
sportier car set-up is obtained when Sport mode
is switched on.
Interventions by the Porsche control systems are
intentionally shifted towards greater agility and
driving performance.
– PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Manage-
ment) is automatically changed to Sport mode,
resulting in a stiffer suspension setup.– PDCC (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control) is
automatically set to Sport mode, and this
further reduces the roll tendency of the
vehicle.
– The air suspension automatically changes to
the low level setting.
– The Tiptronic S transmission changes to a
sportier shift strategy.
The gear-changing points are shifted to higher
speed ranges. Upward shifts are initiated later,
and deceleration shifts are performed earlier.
The vehicle moves off in 1st gear.
– The electronic accelerator pedal reacts
sooner, and the engine is more responsive to
throttle inputs.
– Sporty engine tuning is activated.
fFor further information:
Please see the chapter “PORSCHE ACTIVE
SUSPENSION MANAGEMENT (PASM)” on
Page 193.
fPlease see the chapter “PORSCHE DYNAMIC
CHASSIS CONTROL (PDCC)” on Page 194.

Driving and Driving Safety Switching Sport mode on and off
Sport mode can be activated when the ignition is
switched on and when the on-road driving program
High Range (without reduction) is selected.
fPress SPORT button E in the center console.
When Sport mode is switched on, the light-
emitting diode F in the SPORT button is lit.
When Sport mode is switched on, the logo SPORT
appears on the multi-purpose display.
After the ignition is switched off, Sport mode is
automatically reset to Normal mode.
Warning messages
A warning appears on the multi-purpose display of
the instrument panel in the event of a fault.
fFor information on warning messages on the
multi-purpose display:
Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on Page 149.Vehicles with air suspension
If you wish to use the characteristics of Sport
mode and the sports exhaust system, but would
like a more comfortable running-gear setup, you
can:
– switch PASM and PDCC separately to Normal
or Comfort mode and/or
– raise the ride height of the vehicle.
fPress the corresponding PASM button in the
center console. The light-emitting diode in the
button of the selected running-gear setup
lights up.
In addition, the selected running-gear setup is
shown on the multi-purpose display of the
instrument panel for approx. 12 seconds.
Please see the chapter “PORSCHE ACTIVE
SUSPENSION MANAGEMENT (PASM)” on
Page 193.
Please see the chapter “PORSCHE DYNAMIC
CHASSIS CONTROL (PDCC)” on Page 194.
Press the rocker switch in the center console for-
ward. The corresponding light-emitting diode next
to the rocker switch lights up continuously after
the adjustment process. The level change is also
indicated on the multi-purpose display of the in-
strument panel.
Please see the chapter “AIR SUSPENSION WITH
LEVEL CONTROL AND HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT” on

Driving and Driving Safety
Air Suspension with Level Control
and Height AdjustmentOn vehicles with air suspension, the driver can set
five different level steps manually.
The preselected level is automatically adjusted to
suit the vehicle speed.
The height of the car is automatically kept
constant when the vehicle is loaded.
Tip on driving
It is not permissible to drive on public roads with
the car in the terrain or special terrain setting.Note on operation
Frequent level changes can cause the compressor
to overheat. In this case, the compressor must
cool for several minutes before level adjustment is
fully functional again.
Normal levelThe ground clearance at normal level is around
8.5 in. (215 mm) (Cayenne, Cayenne S,
Cayenne S Transsyberia) or 7.68 in (195 mm)
(Cayenne GTS).Terrain levelThis setting is intended for off-road driving, field
paths and forest paths, etc.
The vehicle is raised by around 1 in. (26 mm)
compared to normal level.
Terrain level can be selected only manually at
speeds below around 50 mph (80 km/h).
The car is automatically lowered to normal level at
speeds exceeding around 50 mph (80 km/h).
The car is automatically raised to terrain level
when Low Range is activated.
Special terrain levelThis setting is intended only for extremely
challenging terrain requiring maximum ground
clearance. The vehicle is raised by around 2.2 in.
(56 mm) compared to normal level.
The warning light in the instrument panel
comes up when the special terrain level has been
reached.
Special terrain level can be selected only at
speeds below around 19 mph (30 km/h).
The car is automatically lowered to terrain level at
speeds exceeding approx. 19 mph (30 km/h).Low levelThis level is intended for high-speed driving. Above
speeds of around 78 mph (125 km/h), the car is
automatically lowered by around 1 in. (24 mm)
(Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Transsyberia) or
0.4 in. (9 mm) (Cayenne GTS) compared to
normal level.
When the speed drops to below around 25 mph
(40 km/h), the car is automatically raised to
normal level.
Note
If low level was set manually with the rocker switch
in the center console, low level also remains
active at speeds below around 25 mph (40 km/h).
