Manual Transmission/Transaxle: Description and Operation

6 - Speed Manual Transmission

The new Cayenne is equipped as standard with a 6-speed manual transmission that has been optimally adapted to the high power output and individual characteristics of the engine. An upshift indicator has been integrated in the instrument cluster to further reduce fuel consumption. The indicator prompts the driver to select the next-higher gear in order to improve fuel economy, depending on the currently selected gear, engine speed and accelerator pedal position. The driver is only recommended to perform an upshift if the previously selected speed and acceleration can be continued in the next-higher gear. The indicator appears in the shape of a triangle on the digital speedometer of the tachometer on the right of the digital speed display. It can be activated/deactivated when required via the instrument cluster menu.
