Tiptronic S
The Porsche Tiptronic is a five-speed transmission
with an "automatic" and a "manual" selection
mode.
In automatic selection mode (selector lever
position D), gear changing is automatic.
You can change temporarily from automatic to
manual mode using the rocker switches on the
steering wheel.
In manual selection mode (selector lever positi-
on M), you change gear using the rocker switches
on the steering wheel.
You can change between selector lever position D
and M as you wish while driving.
Note
Take care not to operate the rocker switches on
the steering wheel inadvertently in either auto-
matic or manual mode, thereby triggering un-
desired gear changes.
Keylock position
The ignition key can be withdrawn only in selec-
tor lever position P.
Changing the selector lever position
The selector lever is locked with the ignition key
withdrawn.
The selector lever can be moved from position P
or N only with:
– the ignition switched on,
– the brake pedal pressed and
– the release button pressed.
Release button
The release button (arrow) in the selector lever
prevents unintentional gear changes.
The release button must be pressed when shifting
to position R or P.
Starting
The engine can be started only if the brake pedal
is depressed and the selector lever is in position
P or N.
Moving off
f Only select the desired position for moving off
(D, M or R) when the engine is idling and the
brake pedal is depressed.
f Since the vehicle creeps when in gear, do not
release the brake until you want to move off.
f After selecting a gear, do not accelerate until
you can feel that the gear is engaged.
