Transmission - Porsche Cayenne 2020 Owner's Manual

Transmission

Driving with Porsche Tiptronic S
Tiptronic S is an 8-speed automatic transmission
with an automatic and a manual shifting mode.
In automatic shifting mode (operating mode D),
gear changing is automatic. You can change tempo-
rarily from automatic to manual shifting mode using
the shift paddles on the steering wheel.
In manual shifting mode (operating mode M), you
can change gear using the selector lever or the shift
paddles on the steering wheel.
You can switch between the D and M modes as re-
quired while driving.
e Make sure that the gearshift paddles on the
steering wheel are not accidentally operated in
automatic and manual shifting mode, triggering
unintended gearshifts.

Changing operating mode
When the ignition is off, operating mode P is active
and the selector lever is freely movable in the shift
gate.
The operating mode can only be changed if the re-
lease button (1) on the selector lever has been
pressed. In addition to the release button, the brake
pedal must be pressed when switching from the P or
N operating mode. It is only possible to switch to the
M operating mode from the D operating mode. In
order to switch to the P operating mode, either the P
button (2) on the selector lever has to be pressed or
the ignition switched off.
Following each actuation, the selector lever returns
to its original center position and the selected oper-
ating mode is indicated on the instrument cluster.
> Please see chapter "Reading the indicator for the
mode and engaged gear" on page 278.
Release button
The release button (1) on the selector lever prevents
the gear from being changed unintentionally. It must
always be pressed before changing mode.
P button
The P button (2) on the selector lever activates the
transmission parking lock. When the ignition is
switched off, the transmission parking lock is auto-
matically engaged in the D, M or R operating modes.
Information
The transmission parking lock is also engaged in D,
M or R operating modes when you leave the vehicle
(driver-side seat belt unfastened, driver's door
opened, brake pedal released).
The vehicle can still be moved with the driver's door
open and the driver's seat belt unfastened by re-
leasing the electric parking brake manually and if
necessary switching to the desired operating mode
D, M or R. In this case, the parking brake remains
released and the desired operating mode D, M or R
remains selected and the transmission parking lock
is not automatically activated.
> Please see chapter "Starting and Stopping the
Engine" on page 261.
Starting the engine
The engine can only be started if the brake pedal is
pressed and mode P or N is activated.
For information on starting E-Hybrid vehicles:
> Please see chapter "Hybrid Vehicle" on page 135.
Driving off
e Only select the desired operating mode for driv-
ing off (D, M or R) when the engine is idling and
keep the brake pedal pressed while doing so.
e Because the vehicle moves (creeps) when a gear
is engaged, you should only release the brake
when you want to drive off.
