2004 PORSCHE 911 TURBO door lock

For maximum manoeuvrability,
PSM can be partially disabled
while the car is still in ‘Sport’
mode. PSM simply monitors the
forces acting on the car and
will only intervene in the most
critical of situations, e.g., when
ABS assistance is required on
both front wheels.
To help you quantify this
increased performance, the
Sport Chrono Package Turbo
includes a swivel-mounted timer
on the dashboard. Functions
are accessed via the control
stalk for the on-board computer.
Analogue dials measure hours,
minutes and seconds, while aseparate digital field displays
whole seconds, tenths and one
hundredths of a second. The
digital field runs in parallel with
a second display which is
conveniently located in the
instrument cluster.
Individual lap times can be
viewed, stored and analysed using
a special ‘performance display’
added to Porsche Communication
Management (see page 86).
Available information includes the
time and distance travelled on
the current lap, as well as the
number of laps completed and
the respective times. The system
can also display the current
fastest lap and remaining range
till empty. Driving times can be
recorded for any stretch of road
and benchmark times can be
defined. Other useful features
include a memory function
accessible via PCM. This can beused to store a range of personal
preferences, such as daytime
driving lights, ‘Welcome Home’
light function, air conditioning,
rain sensor activation and door-
lock mode.

Chassis

Porsche Communication
Management (PCM). This
comprehensive system features
satellite navigation with a
separate DVD drive in the
luggage compartment for
the single navigation disc.
The one-touch switches on the
centre console are logically
positioned for optimum ease of
use. All instruments are perfectly
placed within the driver’s field of
vision. The air-conditioning system
is fully automatic and features a
highly effective active carbon filter.
This added convenience gives
you greater freedom to enjoy the
driving experience.
The tinted front glass and generous
rear screen offer excellent fore-
and-aft visibility. The front side
windows have a water-repellent
finish, which automatically
disperses moisture and dirt.
The result: optimum visibility in
poor weather conditions.
Instruments.
The classic arrangement of five
round instruments provides a
clear overview of all key information.
The digital display in the centre-left
dial (speedometer) provides main
and trip odometer readings. The
central rev counter, featuring the
‘turbo’ logo, includes the standard
on-board computer display.
This multi-purpose field contains a
permanent digital speedometer
as well as the following optional
information: boost pressure,
average speed, average fuel
consumption, tyre pressure,
current radio station, navigation
instructions and remaining range
till empty. When ‘Sport’ mode
is selected on the optional Sport
Chrono Package Turbo, the
temporary increase in torque is
clearly indicated using an arrow
symbol in the boost pressure
display. The third display, in the
centre-right dial, contains a
clock and external temperature.
The dot-matrix technology used in
each of these displays provides
a high resolution for icons and
text. Design and legibility are
further enhanced with brilliant
white backlight illumination.

Comfort
Interior.
For the pure enjoyment of performance.
The passenger compartment in the
new 911 Turbo is another example
of uncompromising design. As you
would expect, it offers the highest
standards of ergonomics, comfort
and quality. The seats, dashboard,
doors and rear side panels are
finished in leather as standard. Atthe centre of the cockpit is a new
gear lever design that’s exclusive
to the new 911 Turbo.
Other standard features include
a three-spoke sports steering
wheel offering 40 mm of
adjustment for both height and
reach. A three-spoke multi-function
steering wheel – available as
optional equipment – provides
direct access to audio, navigation
and (if fitted) telephone functions.
The standard audio package
is the latest evolution of

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
close to a stationary object and
a warning signal is emitted.
Continue to reverse and the tone
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.
Interior and exterior mirrors.
All three rear-view mirrors on the
new 911 Turbo feature auto-
dimming glass as standard. The
interior mirror also includes an
integral rain sensor for the front
wiper system.
Slide /tilt sunroof.
This electrically operated and
steplessly adjustable slide/tilt
sunroof is also available as an
option. In the tilted position,
it offers comfortable ventilation
of the passenger compartment,
even when travelling at high speed.
