Display In Instrument Cluster

Display in Instrument Cluster







Gearshifts for the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) are displayed in the instrument cluster. The display is based on the PDK concept that has been used in sports cars. The familiar displays of the selector lever position (drive mode) and the numerical gear indicator are located in the tachometer.
Other displays in the instrument cluster:
- A flashing selector lever position in the instrument cluster means that the selector lever is between two positions.
- "Transmission temperature too high" prompts the driver to change his driving style. "Warning jerks" can be felt when driving off and the engine power may be restricted. Do not hold the vehicle on a hill, for example, using the accelerator pedal - use the brake pedal instead. Reduce engine load. Stop the vehicle in a suitable place if possible, and allow the engine to run in selector lever position "N" or "P" until the warning disappears.
- "Transmission emergency run" in white letters means that the vehicle can still be driven, but you should call in at a workshop.
- "Transmission emergency run" in red letters means that the vehicle can only be brought to a stop, after which it can no longer be driven.
- If the selector lever is accidentally changed from P or N in to a gear (due to a fault or improper use) without pressing the brake, this gear will also "flash" on the display and no power transmission will occur. To drive off, the brake must be pressed and the selector lever shifted from "P" or "N" into the required gear again.
- A flashing selector lever position "R" or "D" means that the selector lever was engaged without pressing the footbrake or only the reduced driving program is available when the message "Transmission emergency run" appears.

Shift Indicator







The consumption-oriented shift indicator (A) to the right of the digital speed display on the tachometer helps the driver to develop a more fuel-efficient driving style. The shift indicator lights up as a recommendation to shift up to the next gear, depending on the selected gear, engine speed and accelerator pedal position. The shift indicator is only active when "SPORT PLUS" is deactivated. When the shift indicator lights up, you should shift up into the next highest gear.
