On the motorway in particular, driving
at low revs will significantly reduce the
noise level inside the vehicle.
In automatic mode, the driver can influ-
ence gearshifts on the Tiptronic S using
the throttle and brakes alone. Tiptronic S
automatically adapts the gearshift points
for performance driving – equally, if a
more defensive driving style is detected,
the system selects a gearshift point that
offers maximum fuel economy. Under
heavy braking, Tiptronic S shifts down to
maximise engine braking.
An electric pump is used to maintain
the required pressure of the transmission
fluid, e.g. to transmit high levels of
torque at lower engine speeds.
The standard sports steering wheel in
conjunction with Tiptronic S has two
ergonomic switches for manual gear
changes. One press forward with the
thumb and Tiptronic S shifts up. One
pull backwards with the index finger and
Tiptronic S shifts down. Either the right
or left-hand switch can be used. The
result: an even more dynamic response
when changing gear.
Standard on the Cayenne Diesel,
Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid,
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
Optional for the Cayenne.
