No indication of that on mine, just the regular drop at around 130 kph.

Under the little plastic covers in the front bumber are your 'get me out of trouble threads'. The little eyebolt in the rear compartment toolkit which fits in it has a left hand thread.

FWIW, a Cayenne with AS (not just the Turbo) needs to exceed 130mph (210kph) for more than 40 seconds before it will drop to Low Level II. A shorter burst above that speed won't do it.

The difference between Low Level I and Low Level II is only 10mm, or less than 1/2". It seems very likely that at 240KPH there is enough going on that you might not actually notice that small change while driving and you can't select Low II manually to check with the car sitting still. Also, since there is only one Low Level indicator light, not separate ones for Low I and Low II, you can't tell that way either. Anything's possible, and your AS could be faulty, but I doubt it.

just did this again today...Service Now Reset

Depress the ODO button and hold while turning the ignition on w/foot off the brake...you don't want it to start. I then turned off the key and started the car w/the ODO depressed. I got a service reset message for a while. When I restarted the car there was no "service now" warning.

I've tried that before and it didn't work for me. I'll give it a try again though, maybe I wasn't holding my mouth right.

when you have a new 11' the tail lights will randomly work and not work causing you to get pulled over repeatedly.

On all P!Gs if you press the close door button and any door is open other than the driver's door, the car will close automatically as soon as door is shut.

Also works with trunk.

Not sure if this one had been mentioned before:

If you hold the lock button of the car key continuously, all lowered windows will rise, side mirrors will fold and the doors will be locked.

Then, when you get back into the car and insert the key to Ignition On position again, the side mirrors will be automatically unfolded.

That's a convenient setting my dealer told me and I cannot find it in the user manual.

Hey Rudy,
The remote lock which holds until the last door or hatch is closed is a great option!
We don't have it on our other luxury SUV and it irritates me to no end.
Close rear hatch and wait till it closes totally before you can lock the car grrrrr.

On a 2011, if you have trailer lights plugged into factory trailer wiring harness, and the security system is armed, if you disconnect the trailer lights (as in someone is stealing your trailer), the alarm will go off.

It helps with groceries when you have your hands full and you don't want to leave the trunk open to snoopers.

Apparently, it's not just early 04s.
Picked up my 06 from dealer for state inspection today and this note was on the invoice:
"Transmission valve body wiring harness leaking. Fluid could reach the control unit if problem is not repaired."
