Driving and Driving Safety
Note on operation
If the Low Range indicator light next to the rocker
switch flashes rapidly
after the ignition is
switched on
, there is a fault in the shifting
system.
f
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. We
recommend that you use a Porsche partner for
this work since these are staffed with trained
personnel and have the necessary parts and
tools.
If the Low Range indicator light next to the rocker
switch flashes when you attempt to operate
rocker switch
A
, then at least one condition for
shifting 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

Sport mode
Function
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.
