Driving and Driving Safety

Stopping
f For a brief stop (e.g. at a traffic light), leave the
selector lever in drive position and hold the ve-
hicle with the brake pedal.
f Do not hold the car on a slope using the acce-
lerator. Use the brake pedal or the parking
brake instead.
f
Before leaving the vehicle, always apply the
handbrake and move the selector lever to
position P .
Tip on driving
In selector lever positions D and M , the hillholder
function makes it easier to move off from a stand-
still on an upward slope when the engine is run-
ning. The driver does not have to apply the brake.
f Please observe the chapter “HILLHOLDER -
MOVING-OFF ASSISTANT ON VEHICLES WITH
TIPTRONIC S” on Page 217.
Parking
f Go easy on the accelerator.
f When parking or maneuvring in a small space,
control the speed by careful use of the footbra-
ke.
Driving in winter
In wintry road conditions it is advisable to take
steep inclines in manual mode
M
. This prevents
the occurrence of gear changes that could cause
wheelspin.
Reduced driving program
If there is a fault in the transmission:
– An X appears instead of the current gear
indicator on the multi-purpose display of the in-
strument panel.
The transmission no longer shifts.
f To remedy the fault, immediately consult an au-
thorized Porsche dealer.
Warning!
Reverse gear lock monitoring is disabled in
the emergency running program.
Damage to the vehicle may result as well as
loss of control, if the vehicle is moving for-
ward fast enough to cause rear wheel lockup.
f Do not shift into R while the vehicle is moving
forward.
Tip on driving
3rd or 5th gear in selector position D and reverse
gear R are now available and will allow you to
reach the nearest authorized Porsche dealer.
f
Please go to your authorized Porsche dealer
as soon as possible.
