Driving and Driving Safety
Driving systems for off-road drivingSpecially adapted driving programs or power-
transmission and running-gear control systems
are available for off-road driving:
– Off-road program Low Range
–Off-road PSM
–Off-road ABS
– Center differential lock
– Rear differential lock
fPlease see the chapter “POWER-TRANSMISSI-
ON AND RUNNING-GEAR CONTROL SYSTEMS”
on Page 181.Before driving offTires
fCheck tread depth and tire pressure.
fCheck for damage and remove any foreign
objects (e.g. stones) from the tread.
fReplace missing valve caps.
Rims
fReplace dented or damaged rims before
driving off road.
Vehicles with SportDesign package
Caution!
Risk of damage. On vehicles with Sport-
Design package, front, rear, and side
member trim are painted. Off-road driving
can seriously damage these trim parts.
fWhen driving off-road, make sure these parts
are not damaged.
fMake sure there is sufficient clearance
between obstacles and the underside of the
vehicle.
fAvoid driving through water.
fDo not use side member trims or rear wheel spoilers as a running board.
After driving off roadOff-road driving places a greater burden on the
vehicle than does normal driving on roads.
We recommend inspecting the vehicle after off-
road driving. Potential damage poses an accident
risk and impairs driving comfort. Damage on the
car is recognized in good time if the car is
checked.
Caution!
Car damage poses an accident risk for the
vehicle occupants and other road users.
fIn cases of doubt, have your vehicle checked
by your authorized Porsche dealer.
fExamine tires for signs of damage such as
cuts, tears, bulges or foreign objects stuck in
the tread.
Replace a damaged tire if necessary.
fHave any damage to your vehicle repaired by an authorized Porsche dealer without delay.

Driving and Driving Safety Note on operation
fActivate the Low Range program before taking
extreme upward or downward gradients.
Tips on driving
fDo not perform manual gear changes when
driving, and try to avoid stopping.
fAvoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
Traction on uphill slopesNote on operation
fActivate the Low Range program and engage
differential locks if necessary.
Tips on driving
fWhen driving uphill, go easy on the accelerator
and make sure that wheels have sufficient
traction (don't spin).
fAvoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
fDrive slowly.
Driving downhill
Danger!
There is a danger of serious personal injury
or death and risk of damage if the vehicle
should overturn.
fDo not drive over embankments or slopes at
steep diagonal angles.
fDrive downhill slowly, with the wheels pointing
straight ahead.
fIf the vehicle starts to tilt, immediately steer in
the direction of the tilt (line of slope).
fWhen driving downhill, never let the vehicle roll
when in idle.
fUse engine braking effect.
If the engine braking effect is not adequate, gently apply the foot brake.Note on operation
fActivate the Low Range off-road driving
program. The off-road ABS is switched on
automatically.
Tips on driving
fDo not perform manual gear changes when
driving, and try to avoid stopping.
fAvoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
A special circuit in the off-road ABS permits con-
trolled brief lock-up of the front wheels so that they
can dig into the loose surface more effectively.
Locked wheels slip and can no longer be steered.
fWhen driving down steep hills on unpaved
surfaces, brake carefully so that vehicle does
not start to slide.

Driving and Driving Safety
199
ObstaclesfPay attention to the ground clearance of the
car.
Please see the chapter “GROUND
CLEARANCE” on Page 357.
Note on operation
fActivatethe Low Range program and engage
differential locks if necessary.
Tips on driving
fJust before reaching the obstacle, ease off the
accelerator slightly and use the car's momen-
tum to cross the obstacle. This will prevent the
car from jumping over the obstacle and landing
on the following downward slope at an exces-
sive speed.
fAvoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
Water crossingfPay attention to the ground clearance of the
car.
Please see the chapter “GROUND
CLEARANCE” on Page 357.
Danger!
Danger of drowning if water enters the
vehicle. Risk of damage to the engine and
accessories if water penetrates.
fBefore driving through water, check the water
depth A, water speed and the condition of the
surface beneath it.
Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne S
Tr a n s s y b e r i a :
The water must not be deeper than 19.7 in.
(50 cm).
The water must not be deeper than 21.9 in.
(55.5 cm) for vehicles with level control and
height adjustment.
Cayenne GTS:
The water must not be deeper than 18.7 in.
(47.6 cm).
The water must not be deeper than 21.1 in.
(53.5 cm) for vehicles with level control and
height adjustment.
fCheck the door sills and rubber seals before
starting to drive.
fDo not drive through deep or rapidly flowing
water.
Deep or rapidly flowing water, e.g. mountain
streams, can cause the car to deviate from the
desired path.
fAvoid a "bow wave" by driving at an appropriate
speed.
fNever open the doors when driving through
water.

Driving and Driving Safety
201
Crossing obstacles
Caution!
Risk of damage to the underbody and chas-
sis components if obstacles are traversed
improperly.
fAlways bear in mind the ground clearance of
your vehicle.
fSlowly drive over the middle of tree trunks,
boulders or other obstacles with one of the
front wheels.
fCross the obstacle with the rear wheel in the same way.
Note on operation
fActivate Low Range and engage differential
locks if necessary.Tips on driving
fHave your passenger direct you if necessary.
fAvoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
fDrive slowly.
Driving on sandNote on operation
fActivate Low Range and engage differential
locks if necessary.
Tips on driving
Loose sand is an especially tricky surface for off-
road driving.
You can often become stuck in sand within
minutes if you do not drive correctly in such
situations.
fDrive at brisk pace and do not stop under any
circumstances. This will reduce the chance of
the car becoming bogged down.
fFollow existing tracks – provided that they
have not been covered by blown sand, are not
too deep and the car's ground clearance is
sufficient.
Pay attention to the ground clearance of the
car.
Please see the chapter “GROUND
CLEARANCE” on Page 357.
fAvoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
10_Cayenne_21_KW17.book Seite 201 Donnerstag, 9. April 2009 3:33 15

202
Driving and Driving Safety When driving on slopes with soft sand on vehicles
with Tiptronic S:
fUse the manual select mode M in addition to
the Low Range program.
If your vehicle becomes stuck nevertheless:
fDo not spin the wheels. Instead, use branches,
mats or similar items to provide adequate
traction so that you can drive out of the critical
area.
Track rutsOther vehicles leave ruts in many off-road courses
or gravel roads.
fPay attention to the ground clearance of the
car.
Please see the chapter “GROUND
CLEARANCE” on Page 357.
Caution!
Risk of damage to the vehicle floor when
driving through ruts that are too deep.
fAlways bear in mind the car's ground clearan-
ce.
fDo not drive over ruts that are too deep.
Note on operation
fActivate the Low Range program and engage
differential locks if necessary.
Tips on driving
fIn cases of doubt, drive with one wheel on the
strip of grass between the ruts.
fAvoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
fDrive slowly.
