Porsche Abuse

Trying to reverse the car out of my steep drive today I turned off the PSM to try to some grip. After a few seconds of revving the engine a reptitive warning "bing" started to sound. I released the throttle but the binging would not stop until I turned the engine off. There was no warning mesage or lights. Turned the engine back on and no warning signal. I then managed to get the car out and went for a short test drive with no obvious damage, i.e. no warnings.

I assume I over revved and got the "Porsche Abuse Alarm". Anybody else experienced this?
 
That the "how dare you get me out in the snow" alarm. If it is an over-revving alarm (which I've never heard of) you must have been really ragging it! Not good if the engine was cold.

No such thing.

In that case I wonder if it was a residual PSM control kicking in? Am I right in thinking the PSM is never completely turned off with the button? Anyway, not something I intend to try to replicate.
 
I have encountered a PSM warning or 'Bing' as you refer; I had a warning when I stopped on The 30 degree banking at Bristol Speedway in USA. The warning was display in the instrument cluster and also had the effect of disabling the selection of Sport Mode must annoying but the cure was to turn the ignition off and restart the car, admittedly whilst on the flat part of the circuit. On further investigation with my PIWIS proved that the error was caused by the PSM yaw sensor being beyond the normal opperating parameters, namely stopping on the bank circuit. There are other ways of inducing errors temporaily within the PSM including wheel spinining on ice (not yaw sensor though). You have I believe taken the PSM sensors beyond their normal operating ranges. I wouldn't worry if the error disapears after cycling the ignition.

You could be right about the yaw sensors as I was tending to go sideways as well as backwards. Probably confused the old girl. This is twice over the last year I have had problems getting out of the drive. Maybe I need something with 4 wheel drive. I think I now have justification for upgrading to a 997 Turbo. [:D]
 
Hmmm.......4 wheel drive? I just took delivery of a new Cayman on Tuesday in the worst snow I have seen for years......took me 4 hours to drive the 35 miles home in it. Put it away in the garage where it remains today, or at least till the snow melts some........and I never heard a "dont take me out in the snow" alarm.......other than the voices in my head!! Thing is, I traded in my Audi TTS quattro to get it. QUESTION.......Did I do the wrong thing???!!!!!

You definitely did the right thing. Every time I get in my car I have a huge smile on my face. Never happened with any other car I have owned. Even if it does not go out in snow you still have a a piece of art to look at whilst you wait for the snow to melt.
 
Thanks, Guys! Always nice to have one's decisions vindicated! Now.....if only that snow would disappear......

As above. Was your seat belt on? No seat belt and wheels spinning on ice/snow (car thinks its moving) = "bing, bing, bing"
 
Could be seat belt alarm. When I next get the car out I will have to trigger it to check the sound. Although I do not understand why the alarm did not stop until I turned off the engine.
