Things You May Not Know

There was a thread like this on a Porsche forum I was on, I thought it would be good to have one about our 63s

I'll start off; when you press and hold the recirculate button, it will close any openings, ie windows, sunroof, etc. then press and hold again to return them back to their position. Designed for going through tunnels etc.

Wow, interesting. Is that in the manual? If so I better actually take a look at it.

5) if you have the automatic tranny, push the stick to the left and hold it there, it'll downshift to the gear lowest possible to allow you to be in the powerband to pass cars. And pushing the stick to the right side and hold it there will put you back into the normal automatic shifting mode.

Does anyone know if this works with the Left Paddle as well?

Yes, and if you then hold the shifter to the right, or the right paddle, it will go back into full auto mode.

See the other thread I linked above.

So is this confirmed to work in the US? Guess Ill try it tonight - I have an '09 as well

Also - is this confirmed to work on the C63?

10) Steps to Reset the TCU. Resetting the TCU will reset transmission to factory shift points and the car will 'relearn' your driving style.
(1.) Turn the ignition key to the on (not start) position.
(2.) Press the gas pedal to the floor and hold for five seconds.
(3.) Turn the key to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas pedal.
(4.) Wait at least two minutes for TCU to reset.

if you push the right pedal to the floor for 10 seconds when taking off at the traffic lights, you shred your licence and empty your bank account!
