Picked up our new 992 C4S last week, but there doesn't seem to be a printed owner's manual in the glove box.

Our service specialist says it might be digital-only and I recall being only showed the manual that was built into the PCM during delivery.

Is this normal? My service specialist says he'll ask the SA to confirm.

I took delivery of my TTS in June, and got paper and digital, fwiw

Picked mine up last week as well - with printed manual in the glove box. So, it is not normal.

Got my 992 last January (It is one year old today). No paper manual. Everything is digitally available. Much more convenient to search.
You can find links to the manuals in other threads.

The problem with the one I found here is that the PCM interface is very different since this manual is from more than a year ago.

Picked up my 2022 911 2 weeks ago and it came with a printed owners manual.

Did you check w/ the dealer? They may have forgotten to put it in the car. Also, for my 2021, during the prep process for the car, they forgot to upload the digital owner's manual in the PCM so I had to take it back to them to add the files. I know the 2022 system is totally different, but I assume there would still be a digital owner's manual within the PCM system itself.

When I picked up my C2S from North Toronto this past summer, the SA gave me the owner's manual in a black leather carrying case. Also, showed me how to install the Good To Know app that has the owners manual in electronic format. Unless this has changed for 2022, you should ask the SA for the manual.

Picked up my 2022 Turbo S on 12/10, and yes, of course there was a manual in the car along with many other little manuals and service books in the black fake leather pouch. It is my bible right now. No manual? Totally unacceptable. You need this manual as a reference.

Salesmen... yeesh. "Our service specialist says it might be digital-only " Yes, of course he's saying this, because someone at the dealership probably lost the manual!

I don't know. All I know is that a new car without a manual is like a ...well, not good. You need that manual. I read mine before bed every night, about 4-6 pages a night. i'm about 198 pages into it's ~350 pages and let me tell you, I will probably NEVER understand how to work this car's PCM unit ;o(. Damn, it's complicated. Everything is on this car. I can do so far is turn it on and drive it in sport and put the Grateful Dead Sirius channel on. I know, I suck.

I’m with you 🤣🤣

One additional thing I was able to do is program Homelink to the steering wheel diamond button and have Homelink recognize I’m approaching my house.

Anything else is just start, switch to Sport mode and drive 🥴🥴🥴🥴

Does the written manual that came with your 2022 have a section on the PCM6? The digital version, (Porsche’s ‘Good to Know’) only relates to PCM5. As I await my C2, I’ve been reading the 2021 digital manual. I’ve written PCNA twice enquiring about the PCM 6 manual, gotten a polite, ‘we’ve received your enquiry’ in response. Other than that, crickets.

I don't know, don't know where to check. It says WKD 992 00 B21 22 06/2021 on the front page of the manual.

I just remembered the salesman gave me a USB thingie on delivery day. Have no idea what that is, maybe a digital manual? Ha, I'm 60, I just get in a car and drive it. Everything else is a mystery to me so far which is why I didn't get ACC, Nightvision, Innodrive, Remote Parking or anything else, I just drive. I don't rely on technology to assist me, it's just not me. I definitely want to get rid of my clicker though at some point and figure out Homelink to the diamond button or somewhere else, as the clicker is ugly on the leather sunvisor but it works great!

I thought the manuals are put in the car at the VPC before the car reaches the dealer?

Yes it has the new PCM 6 in the manual.
