Operation

Operation General Description

Like the Porsche Tiptronic transmission used in the previous models, PDK has two selector gates.

Upshifts and downshifts are performed automatically in the right-hand gate and in selector-lever position "D". If the selector lever is moved into the left-hand gate ("M"), upshifts and downshifts can be performed manually. Gears can be changed both on the steering wheel and using the selector lever.

There is no gear lock on vehicles with PDK, which means that selector-lever positions P - R - N - D are available.







3-spoke sports steering wheel for PDK







A new 3-spoke sports steering wheel for PDK is used in conjunction with the Doppel-kupplung transmission on the new 911 models. This completely redesigned steering wheel has two sliding switches, which are incorporated neatly and conveniently into the steering-wheel spokes. Pressing these switches forward changes up a gear, and pulling them or pressing them towards the driver from the back of the steering wheel changes down a gear. It makes no difference whether the left or right sliding switch is used for changing gears.

The switches can also be used to activate the "One-touch Hold function" (see Special functions).
