Driving Programs For On-Road And Off-Road Driving - Porsche Cayenne 2005 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
maximum safety.
All control systems meet these requirements for
both off-road and normal driving.

Shifting Gear, Traction Systems
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
automatically 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 realised 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 en-
gaged 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.
f Please observe the chapter "POWER-TRANS-
MISSION AND RUNNING-GEAR CONTROL SYS-
TEMS" on Page 211.
Notes on operation
If the Low Range indicator light beside the rocker
switch flashes rapidly after the ignition is
switched on, there is a fault in the shifting
system.
f Please have the vehicle checked immediately
at an authorized Porsche dealer.
