Instrument Cluster

Gearshift Indicator







Gearshifts for the new Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) are displayed in the instrument cluster. The display is based on that of the 911 Carrera.

In addition to the conventional displays such as selector lever position and selected gear, there are also other possibilities:

- 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 reduced. 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 "P" or "N" until the warning disappears
- "Transmission emergency run" in white letters means that the vehicle can still be driven, but you should visit 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

Shift Strategy/Special Functions







The function ranges and influencing factors as well as the PDK shift strategies in the new 911 Turbo have largely been adopted from the current 911 Carrera models. The automatic upshift functions have been enhanced and improved, both in D and in M with kickdown. Automatic upshifts are triggered in the new 911 Turbo only at higher engine speeds thanks to a further improvement in calculation for automatic upshift activation. This allows additional utilisation of the engine speed and performance potential of the engine as well as an improvement in driving performance.

A certain lead time is required for the triggering of an automatic upshift, taking into account the engine speed dynamics during acceleration and the maximum engine speed. The lead time has been reduced and the gear change is now triggered at higher engine speeds thanks to a further improvement in the calculation for this shift operation.
