Driving with Porsche Double Clutch
(PDK)
The Porsche double clutch transmission (PDK) is a 7-
speed transmission with an automatic and a manual
shift mode.
Gear changes are automatic in automatic selection
mode (gear lever position D). The shift paddles on
the steering wheel can be used to switch temporarily
from automatic to manual selection mode.
In manual selection mode (gear lever position M),
you can change gear using the gear lever or the shift
paddles on the steering wheel.
When driving, the driver can switch between gear
lever positions D and M as desired.

Make sure that the shift paddles on the steer-
ing wheel are not accidentally operated in au-
tomatic and manual selection mode, triggering
unintended gearshifts.
