Porsche 968 - Tiptronic System Warning Light; Tiptronic Fault Indicator

In manual gate mode only the four forward
speeds ~an be selected.
When parking the vehicle the speed selection
lever should be moved to the parking position
via position "D".
On snow- or ice -co vered roads speeds 1 or 2
are r ecom mended for longer, steep gradients .
If the manual selection mode should fail , the
control electronics switch to automatic selection
mode and cause position "D" to illuminate in the
selector lever display. It is possible to select
speeds in automatic gate mode .
Please ask your Official Porsche Centre for as-
sistance if the failure described above occurs.
Tow-starting
It is not possible to tow-start the vehicle .

ensured when the engine is not running . For this
reason the following points should be noted :
1. Move speed selector lever to position "N".
2. Do not tow the vehicle at speeds higher than
50 km/h (30 mph).
52
3. Do not tow the vehicle over a distance of
more than 50 km /30 miles.

Warning Light,
Limited Driving Program
TIPTRONIC 1
The warning light in the instrument cluster
comes on when the ignition is switched on (lamp
test) and goes out once the engine has been
started.
If the warning light comes on during driving ,
there is a fault in the system. To ensure conti-
nued mobility, the Tiptronic transmission now
shifts automatically into 4th gear, irrespective of
the gear selector position, and remains in 4th
gear until the engine is next switched off.
Stop the car at the next place where it is safe
to do so.
Since 4th gear is rigidly connected with the en-
gine, stalling must be prevented by moving the
gear selector to position "N" when the speed
drops to about 30 km/h (19 mph) . Switch off
the engine when the vehicle has come to a stop.
To enab le you to reac h the nearest Official
Porsche Centre, 2nd gear a nd reverse gear are
available to you when the en gi ne is sw itched on
again.
Please adjust your driving to the cha nged
driving conditions and seek the assistance of
an Official Porsche Centre.
