Read the Manual. Took me 15 minutes. Bulbs were cheap and easy to find.

I don't want to suggest that this is particuarily relevant but I had a clunking noise from front right when passing over speed bumps and even driveway ramps and such. Took it into the stealer and they said that someone had disconnected a vent hose [ er somthin' of the like ]for the Air Suspension and that once replaced there would be no more noise. Since, I have had no issues. Personally I thought it was hogwash (pig-wash) but everything is good now....

PSM Off provides a sportier gear shift, revving higher and thus providing better torque/power. Or at least it feels such. With PASM in Sport setting and PSM Off, this big pig sheds a little weight in the feel. I find that on the highway, if morons are in my way but I see suddenly and oppurtunity to move out and around the spaced out commuter crowd, I turn off PSM instead of paddling on the Tiptronic. Nobody knows what these Smart Cars, Mazda's, KIA types are going to do so I prefer to have both hands on the wheel and not typing at the Tiptronic so as to avoid catastrophy. Also, when I am going to be getting off the freeway and I have some off ramp to negotiate, having PSM off allows me to kick down the transmission with more sensitivity, I find anyway. The AWD system is pretty stable, so unless it is pouring rain or icy/snowing I don't worry about having PSM off. And when up at the Ski Hill, with the kids in the back seat on a frozen parking lot, it's better than a ride at Disney World without PSM on! So many fun ways to drive the same vehicle, Porsche Engineers rock! :D

In my experience, this is normal. My Cayenne S will never shift into D6 when PSM is deactivated. Thanks Dennis, I also have the V8 so if yours is doing the same thing then that answers it. :D

Group, I couldn't find reference to this anywhere, so I have to bite the bullit and ask you all; With PSM Off, driving at Highway Speeds, the transmission will not upshift to D6, unless I Tiptronic it up to D6. Is this normal? :huh:
