Porsche WET Mode
Porsche WET Mode can detect significant road
wetness and set the driving systems to a more sta-
ble handling characteristic.
If sufficient moisture is detected, the system auto-
matically regulates the chassis systems within the
system limits. Depending on the outside tempera-
ture, the wetness symbol or
instrument cluster along with a notice prompting the
driver to activate the WET driving programme. If the
driver activates the WET driving programme, the
chassis systems are controlled more closely and, in
addition, the drive, spoiler position and cooling air
flap position are regulated within the system limits.
The SPORT Response mode and Sport suspension
setting are not available when the WET driving pro-
gramme is activated. PSM is switched on and cannot
be deactivated. The adaptive cruise control (ACC)
distance that was set is changed to the medium
setting ("half speedometer distance") if the set dis-
tance was previously lower.

from the vehicle in front" on page 33.
System limits
If the moisture sensor in the wheel arch is blocked
due to snow, system functionality may be restricted.

instrument cluster are available up to a speed of
250 km/h (156 mph).
Detection of sufficient road surface wetness de-
pends on the speed travelled and on the road
surface.
Porsche WET Mode can neither detect nor prevent
aquaplaning.
The system does not give any indication of rainy
weather and does not turn on any wipers.
The messages relating to detected wetness can be
deactivated.
