Driving Programmes For On-Road And Off-Road Driving - Porsche Cayenne Turbo Driver Manual

Driving programmes for on-road
and off-road driving
Two different driving programmes with special
power-transmission and running-gear control
systems (such as ABS, off-road ABS and PSM,
etc.) are provided in your Porsche with the aim of
realising the best possible driving dynamics
combined with maximum safety on the road.
All control systems meet these requirements for
both off-road and on-road driving.
With rocker switch A, you can easily select the
appropriate driving programme to suit the special
requirements for the respective terrain.
Low Range off-road programme
(with reduction)
When the Low Range off-road driving programme
is active, the power transmission and running-gear
control systems are automatically adapted to the
requirements for off-road driving.
High Range on-road driving programme
(without reduction)
When the High Range on-road driving programme
is active, the power transmission and running-gear
control systems are automatically adapted to the
requirements for on-road driving.
Operation and use
The rocker switch A is located in the centre
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 realised by changing from
the on-road driving programme to the off-road
programme or by engaging the differential locks in
stages.
The number of differential locks that can be
engaged in the Low Range driving programme
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 programme has been selected,
the rocker switch springs back to home position.
Notes 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.
