Does anyone have any idea of what the conditions are for the Macan Diesel to go into "Coast Mode"
I can sometimes get it to coast when I lift off the pedal but often not, and I cant work out what the algorithm must be.
I've been the proud owner for over three years now and still haven't done 30,000 miles or worked out how to coast.
Still on the original all condition tires with with plenty of meat on them.
I must be driving too slow.

Here are the coasting preconditions shown in my manual (for a petrol but I guess it’s the same for diesel):SilverTurfer wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 12:59 pm Does anyone have any idea of what the conditions are for the Macan Diesel to go into "Coast Mode"

Surely it will coast if you pull 8th gear?

Yes it will tend to - but only if all the preconditions above are met.

I think Tom is referring to when you are in 7th and pull the right hand (‘shift up’) paddle. This can ‘encourage’ the car to go into coast mode.

The auto coast is a bit of a lottery. It seems to happen easily enough after steady acceleration and easing off but is hard to induce as that usually means more right foot action and computer says no. I think it can be pulled in 6th as well as 7th. Dunno about 5th.
