What do all those console buttons do?
There are so many 991 performance and safety enhancement systems designed by the Porsche engineers, it boggles the mind. After searching around, I'd discovered tons of separate posts but not one that covered them all. So, I've put together a comprehensive list of the features that are controlled by each of the center console buttons that may be useful as a sticky for reference purposes. Please provide comments and omissions and I will update.

PSE (if equipped) & Sound symposer activated
PDCC (if equipped) response is increased
Throttle response increased when above 25mph or, after quickly depressing or releasing the accelerator

Both PDCC and dynamic motor mounts are always active. Like the other systems- throttle, PASM, etc- they are "on" but have a range of aggressiveness, responsiveness, whatever you want to call it. The ranges overlap a great deal. Nothing ever really "locks" it just goes to increasingly aggressive mapping.
Does steering ever change? News to me. I'm guessing this refers to effects of improved responsiveness of PDCC, PASM, PTV, etc.

Does anyone know if pushing the PSE without the Sport opens the Sound Symposer? My own aural impression is that it appears the Sound Symposer stays closed. But I can't rule out the more aggressive sound of sport setting being a result of the throttle mapping.

I stand corrected on this point. They are always on call. It is the programmed threshold that is effected by these controls.
In the 991 Porsche Identity brochure (http://files3.porsche.com/filestore....3-001a64c55f5c), more direct steering is a benefit of PDCC, PASM etc, and not a change in the steering ratio, as you propose? If true then it should appear after the word "therefore". Right? ,
