2004 PORSCHE 911 TURBO airbag

Complementing the front airbags
is the latest generation of Porsche
Side Impact Protection (POSIP).
This comprehensive package
includes two additional airbags for
each front seat: a thorax airbag
in the side of each backrest,
and a head airbag located in each
door. Each side airbag has anapproximate volume of 8 litres,
ensuring maximum protection
over the entire seat adjustment
range. Also incorporated within
the POSIP package are side-
impact protection beams in the
doors.Other standard features include
integral head restraints, an
energy-absorbing steering column,
height-adjustable three-point seat
belts with pre-tensioners and
force limiters, energy-absorbing
structures in the dashboard area
and flame-retardant materials
throughout the interior. The new 911 Turbo has a unique
passive protection system
featuring six separate airbags.
The full-size front airbags for
driver and front passenger have
a two-stage inflation capability.
With this technology, the
deployment of each airbag is
dependent on the force and
nature of the accident (e.g.,
frontal or diagonal impact). In
a low-speed crash, the airbag
is only partially inflated, thereby
minimising discomfort to the
occupants.
The airbag control unit is located
in the centre tunnel where it
receives additional information
from a pair of impact sensors near
the headlights. This arrangement
enables faster and more accurate
evaluation of impact forces in the
event of a crash.

Comfort
Standard seats.
The standard seats feature full
electric adjustment of fore/aft
position, height, backrest angle,
squab angle and lumbar support.
Comfort is assured thanks
to excellent lateral support, a
lowered seat base offering
greater headroom, and a
dedicated spring system that
is specifically designed to
match the car’s suspension
characteristics. The high side
bolsters provide excellent lateral
support, without restricting
occupant comfort. The generous
range of adjustment options
means that virtually every driver
can find the ideal position,
regardless of physical build. A
memory function stores personal
preferences for seat position,
lumbar support and exterior
mirrors.

Rear seats.
The folding rear seats are
surprisingly comfortable for a car
of this performance capability.

Storage compartments.
The new 911 Turbo is not only
a powerful performer, it is also
highly versatile. Added to the
comfort and ergonomics of the
interior are a range of practical
features.
The storage compartments in the
doors and centre console feature
matching upholstered lids. These
are positioned at precisely the
same height to form comfortable
armrests on longer journeys.
Beneath the front passenger
airbag, behind a fold-down trim,
are two cupholders for driver and
front passenger. Beneath the
cupholders is a lockable glove
compartment featuring integral
CD storage.
Two 12 V sockets (including the
cigar lighter) provide power for
electrical equipment. An optional
fire extinguisher is also available,
installing neatly out of sight but
always within reach directly ahead
of the driver’s seat.
‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
This standard function provides
generous illumination via the
foglight units when the key remote
is used to lock or unlock the
car. As the name suggests, it is
particularly convenient when
returning home after dark. On
vehicles equipped with the optional
Sport Chrono Package Turbo, the
timing delay can be programmed
via the Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) terminal.
ParkAssist.
This optional parking aid is auto-
matically enabled whenever you
select reverse gear. Move too

increases in frequency. The
ultrasonic sensors are neatly
concealed within the rear apron
moulding.
Cruise control.
This optional system is available
from 30 to 240 km / h
(20 – 149 mph) and can even be
used in first gear. The system is
operated using a separate control
stalk on the steering column.
HomeLink®.
This optional garage-door opener
is integral to the car and offers
full remote control for up to three
garage doors. It can also be used
with gate, home lighting and alarm
systems. Compatible with virtually
all garage and gate systems.
Rear wiper.
Also available as an option, the
rear wiper system includes a flat
and streamlined ‘aero’ blade which
blends with the exterior of the car.

new 911 Turbo feature auto-
dimming glass as standard. The
interior mirror also includes an
integral rain sensor for the front
wiper system.

steplessly adjustable slide/tilt
sunroof is also available as an
option. In the tilted position,
it offers comfortable ventilation
of the passenger compartment,
