Driving Programs For On-Road And Off-Road Driving - Porsche Cayenne 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 for realising the best possib-
le driving dynamics combined with maximum safe-
ty.
– Low Range off-road driving program
(with reduction)
– High Range on-road driving program
(without reduction)
When the driving program is active, the power
transmission and running-gear control systems
are automatically adapted to the requirements for
off-road or on-road driving.
Selecting driving program
The particular driving program can be selected
using the rocker switch A.
The rocker switch A is located in the center con-
sole of the vehicle. It features a multi-step function
and can be operated in both directions.
Note on operation
The number of differential locks that can be enga-
ged in Low Range depends on the equipment of
your vehicle.
Prerequisites for manual settings
Vehicles with manual transmission
f Stop the vehicle.
f Apply the brake.
f Put the gearshift lever in neutral.
Caution!
Risk of engine damage (overrevving). In the
Low Range program, the gear-shifting points
are shifted towards lower engine-speed ran-
ges.
f Shift early to prevent overrevving the engine.
Vehicles with Tiptronic S
f When selecting the off-road driving program:
Reduce speed to below 9.3 mph (15 km/h) or
stop vehicle.
f When selecting the on-road driving program:
Reduce speed to below 19 mph (30 km/h) or
stop vehicle.
f Move Tiptronic selector lever to position N.
Danger!
Risk of accident, resulting in serious perso-
nal injury or death due to uncontrolled vehic-
le movement. The Tiptronic selector lever is
blocked during the shifting procedure. Shif-
ting when driving uphill can cause the vehicle
to stand still or even roll backwards, if the
shifting procedure has not yet been comple-
ted. When driving downhill, the vehicle can
accelerate unintentionally while shifting.
f Increased brake readiness is required.
