Driving Programs For On-Road And Off-Road Driving - Porsche 2007 Cayenne Owner's Manual

Driving Programs for On-Road and
Off-Road Driving
Two different driving programs with special power-
transmission and running-gear control systems
(such as ABS, off-road ABS and PSM, etc.) are pro-
vided in your Porsche, with the aim of realising the
best possible driving dynamics combined with ma-
ximum safety.
All control systems meet these requirements for
both off-road and normal driving.

Driving and Driving Safety
With rocker switch A, you can easily select the ap-
propriate driving program to suit the special re-
quirements for the respective terrain.
Off-road program Low Range
(with reduction)
When Low Range is active, the power transmis-
sion and running-gear control systems are auto-
matically adapted to the requirements for off-road
driving.
On-road driving program High Range
(without reduction)
When High Range is active, the power-transmis-
sion and running-gear control systems are auto-
matically adapted to the requirements for on-road
driving.
Use
Rocker switch A is located in the center console
of the vehicle. It features a multi-step function and
can be operated in both directions.
Each time the rocker switch is pushed forward,
the vehicle becomes one step more suitable for
off-road driving. This is realized by changing from
the on-road to the off-road driving program or by
engaging the differential locks in stages.
The number of differential locks that can be enga-
ged in Low Range depends on the equipment of
your vehicle.
Each time the rocker switch is pushed back, the
vehicle becomes one step more suitable for on-
road driving.
Once the driving program has been selected, the
rocker switch springs back to home position.
Notes on operation
If the Low Range indicator light beside the rocker
switch flashes rapidly after the ignition is swit-
ched on, there is a fault in the shifting system.
f Please have the vehicle checked immediately
at an authorized Porsche dealer.
