Bi-Xenon main headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
Featuring halogen auxiliary headlights, integrated headlight cleaning and automatic dynamic range control, the Bi-Xenon main headlights provide more uniform illumination of the road in both dipped and high-beam mode. The dynamic cornering light function swivels the headlights towards the inside of a bend based on the current steering angle and road speed. The static cornering lights activate the auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate more of the road in tight bends and turns. PDLS also features speed-sensitive headlight control and an adverse weather function, which is activated in conjuction with the rear foglight - for even greater safety, not just at night and during cornering.
Adaptive cruise control.
Optional on all Panamera and Cayenne models, adaptive cruise control regulates the speed of your vehicle in line with that of the vehicle in front. To do that, the system uses a radar sensor in the central air intake to monitor the road up to 200 m ahead. If you approach another vehicle that is travelling slower than your selected cruising speed, the system slows the engine or gently applies the brakes (up to 3.5 m/S2).
This continues until the distance that you have preset is maintained. If heavier braking is required, the driver has to actively intervene. Your vehicle will now follow the one in front at a reduced speed. If the other vehicle decelerates further, adaptive cruise control will continue to reduce your speed - even down to a halt. To pull away after an automatic stop, simply use the control lever or depress the accelerator pedal. When the road ahead is free once more, the car automatically returns to your selected cruising speed.
For added safety, the system also readies the brakes whenever a decreasing distance to the vehicle in front is detected. Adaptive cruise control and PSM interact to prefill the brakes.
Lane Change Assist (LCA).
The new Cayenne models are available with Lane Change Assist (LCA). The system monitors the area to the side of the vehicle's rear and the blind spot using radar sensors. At speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, the system alerts the driver of a vehicle in the blind spot or approaching quickly from behind via a visual signal from the exterior mirrors. This is particularly useful when driving on the motorway. However, LCA does not actively intervene in the controlling of the vehicle and can be deactivated at any time.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).
The race-proven Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake features larger diameter discs - for exceptional deceleration. The key advantage of PCCB is a total weight saving of approximately 50% compared with equivalent cast-iron discs. This represents a major reduction in the unsprung and rotating masses. The result: better road-holding and a further boost to agility and brake performance. Excellent fade resistance is guaranteed thanks to consistently high friction values.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM is an electronic control system that helps stabilise the vehicle in hazardous road scenarios. Using a range of sensors, PSM continuously monitors the direction, speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration of the car. The system then calculates the actual direction of travel. If the car begins to oversteer, PSM applies selective braking on individual wheels to restore stability.
PSM adalah sistem kontrol elektronik yang membantu menstabilkan kendaraan dalam skenario jalan berbahaya. Menggunakan berbagai sensor, PSM terus memonitor arah, kecepatan, kecepatan oleng dan percepatan lateral mobil. Sistem kemudian menghitung arah sebenarnya dari perjalanan. Jika mobil mulai oversteer, PSM melakukan pengereman pada masing-masing roda untuk memulihkan stabilitas.
Under acceleration on variable-grip surfaces, PSM improves the car's traction using the ABD (automatic brake differential) and ASR (anti-slip regulation) functions. For a more involving driving experience, PSM can also be disabled, but remains active in the background.
Dibawah percepatan pada variabel-grip permukaan, PSM meningkatkan traksi mobil menggunakan ABD(diferensial rem otomatis) dan ASR (anti slip regulasi). Untuk lebih terlibat dalam pengalaman mengemudi, PSM juga dapat dinonaktifkan, tetapi tetap aktif di latar belakang.
PSM has two additional functions (not available on 911 GT3 models): electronic brake prefill - for reaching maximum brake performance with virtually no delay - and brake assist - for maximum deceleration in an emergency stop.
PSM memiliki dua fungsi tambahan (tidak tersedia pada model 911 GT3): prefill rem elektronik - untuk mencapai kinerja rem maksimum dengan hampir tidak ada penundaan - dan rem bantuan - untuk perlambatan maksimum dalam suatu pengereman mendadak.
On the Panamera and Cayenne models, PSM also features a trailer stabilisation function.
Di Panamera dan Cayenne model, PSM juga menyediakan fitur trailer stabilisasi.
On the 911 GT3 models, in addition to ABS (anti-lock braking), PSM comprises two further automatic control system: stability control (SC) and traction control (TC). Unique to PSM on the 911 GT3 models, both control systems intervene later and can be completely disabled in two stages - for maximum driver involvement, e.g. on the racetrack.
Pada model 911 GT3, di samping ABS (anti-lock braking), PSM terdiri dari dua sistem kontrol otomatis lebih lanjut: stabilitas kontrol (SC) dan kontrol traksi (TC). Unik untuk PSM pada 911 GT3 model, kedua sistem kontrol mengambil alih dan dapat sepenuhnya dinonaktifkan dalam dua tahap - untuk keterlibatan maksimum pengemudi, misalnya di sirkuit.
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
PTV with mechanical limited-slip rear differential and PTV Plus with electronically controlled rear differential offer variable distribution of engine torque to the rear wheels, thereby enhancing driving dynamics and stability. PTV is available as an option on the 911 Turbo models (standard on the 911 Turbo S models), while PTV Plus is optional on the Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo as well as on all Panamera models. Depending on the steering angle, steering speed, throttle pedal position, yaw velocity and vehicle speed, PTV/PTV Plus optimises steering response and precision by applying brake pressure to the left or right rear wheel, as required.
Specifically, this means that when entering a corner at high speed, moderate brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel. This transfers drive torque to the outside rear wheel which supports the steering motion of the car, thereby improving its cornering dynamics.
At slow and medium speeds, the system considerably enhances agility and steering precision. At high speeds, during fast cornering and under wheel spin, the mechanical or electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential ensure additional stability.
Also on variable-grip surfaces, in the wet and on snow, PTV/PTV Plus - combined with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and Porsche Stability Management (PSM) - provides a major contribution to active safety.
When driving the Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo off road, PTV Plus reduces spin on the rear wheels - even when towing heavy trailer loads. The electronically controlled rear differential can be fully locked using the off-road control on the centre console.

Auto start/stop function.
All Panamera models that are equipped with PDK and all Cayenne model with eight-speed Tiptronic S also feature an auto start/stop function. If, for example, you stop at traffic lights with your foot on the brake pedal, the auto start/stop function will automatically cut the engine. This fuel-saving system restarts the engine as soon as you release the brakes.
Altough the engine is not running, all audio and communication systems remain switched on and the air-conditioning system continues to maintain the selected temperature.
The auto start/stop function can be activated and deactivated at the push of a button. The starter motor has been revised to cope with the additional demands of the system, and the battery charge and life are continuously monitored.1
On the Cayenne S Hybrid, the auto start/stop function is integrated into the parallel full hybrid drive.
1 The battery and starter motor are replacement parts that are subject to greater wear and tear with frequent use of the auto start/stop function.
Sport Chrono Packages.
The Sport Chrono Package - in conjunction with PCM, the Sport Chrono Package Plus - provides simultaneous enhancement for the drivetrain and chassis. When 'SPORT'/'SPORT PLUS' mode is selected, depending on the vehicle model and specification, the following occurs: a much more aggressive response to throttle pedal inputs, the rev-limiter is adjusted to a harder setting, and the engine management system adapts for performance driving.
In 'SPORT'/'SPORT PLUS' mode, the intervention threshold of PSM is raised - for a more natural response to lateral and longitudinal forces. The chassis control systems PASM or PDCC also switch to 'SPORT' mode. The adaptive air suspension available as an option on the Panamera models drops to 'Low Level' in 'SPORT PLUS' mode. The dampers become firmer, enabling faster turn-in, greater agility and enhanced driving dynamics. For an even more involving driving experience, PSM can be disabled.
In conjunction with PDK in automatic mode, the basic gearshift pattern is switched to high-performance mode. The shift times become shorter, the gear changes sportier. With PDK in manual mode, the gear changes are faster, more dynamic. Two further special functions in conjunction with PDK: launch control - for maximum acceleration from a standing start. And gearshift strategy (on the Boxster, Cayman an 911 models only) - readying PDK for ultra-fast gear changes and optimum shift points. The result: simply breath-taking acceleration.
Exclusively available for the 911 Turbo and Panamera Turbo is the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo. On the 911 Turbo, it also includes a dynamic engine mount system. The 'overboost' function featured on both models enables an increase in boost pressure, thereby temporarily raising engine torque (up to 700 Nm on the 911 Turbo and 770 Nm on the Panamera Turbo).
All Panamera and Cayenne models have a standard 'SPORT' function with a choice of comfort-oriented or high-performance setup.

Clubsport package.
A 'Clubsport' racing package is available as a no-cost option for the 911 GT3 (only in conjunction with optional lightweight or sport bucket seats) and as standard fitment on the 911 GT3 RS.
It comprises a bolt-in roll cage located behind the front seats, a six-point racing harness in red for the driver's side (unfitted), a fire extinguisher with mounting bracket (unfitted) and a preparation for battery master switch.
This is available separately from the Porsche Motorsport department, as is the front roll cage element.
In conjunction with the Clubsport package, the seats are covered with flame-retardant material - for added safety.
Porsche Communication Management (PCM).
PCM with a 6.5-inch touchscreen display (7-inch on the Panamera and Cayenne models) offers intuitive control and is available with a range of optional features: a navigation module (included in the optional PCM on the Panamera, Cayenne, Boxster, Cayman and 911 GT3; standard on the Turbo models), an integrated six-disc CD/DVD autochanger, a universal audio interface, a TV tuner, a Bluetooth telephone module and voice control with whole-word recognition. The sound experience is equally refined, especially in conjunction with BOSE Surround Sound System or the Burmester High-End Surround Sound System available on the Panamera and Cayenne models which both support audio output in 5.1 discrete surround sound.
BOSE Surround Sound System.
The BOSE Surround Sound System was specially developed to Porsche specifications and custom-engineered for the specific interior acoustics of the respective model. Up to 14 loudspeakers (incl. active subwoofer and centrefill speaker) combine with a multi-channel amplifier (output: 385 to 585 Watts, depending on the model) to produce a powerful sound experience in each Porsche model.
In conjunction with PCM, the system supports digital 5.1 surround sound on audio and video DVDs to create a lifelike audio environment. Naturally, you can also play conventional CDs, either in stereo mode or as surround sound generated by the patented BOSE Centerpoint technology.
Burmester High-End Surround Sound System.
Exclusive to the Panamera and Cayenne: the High-End Surround Sound System from Burmester, one of the most respected premium audio manufacturers worldwide. The technologies behind the system meet the same axacting standards as those in company's high-end home audio products. State-of-the-art and featured like this in a Porsche for the first time.
