Chassis
Steering.
What use is a perfect suspension
setup without equally effective
steering?
At Porsche, we design these two
key elements as one inseparable
whole. The steering system has
an immediacy and precision that
exactly complement thesuspension. Every steering input is
instantly converted into a positive
and accurate response. This is
achieved through a combination
of high-precision front axle
kinematics and power-assisted,
rack-and-pinion steering with
variable-ratio gearing. At the
straight-ahead position, the ratio
is less direct, enabling smoother
manoeuvres during motorway use.Turn the wheel harder, and the
ratio increases, allowing easier
cornering and parking.
This immediacy of response is
backed by excellent road contact
and a modest turning circle of just
11.1 metres. The result: even
greater comfort and active safety.The standard three-spoke steering
wheel offers generous height and
reach adjustment. The steering
wheel rim has a leather finish in
your chosen interior colour. Two
additional three-spoke wheels –
multifunction and sports – are
available as optional equipment
(see pages 107 and 109).
Wheels.
The new Cayman comes with
17-inch wheels as standard
featuring an attractive twin-spoke
design. The Cayman S runs on
18-inch wheels with five-spoke
styling derived from the Carrera
GT. Both standard wheels have a
lightweight construction and run
flush with the exterior of the car.
A range of 18 and 19-inch wheels
are also available as optional
equipment (see page 105). All
standard and optional wheels
come with anti-theft protection.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring
(TPM).
This optional system provides
early warning of any drop
in pressure via the on-board
computer display.

Rear screen.
Both models have a large, tinted
and heated rear screen offering
excellent rearward visibility.
A detachable fabric screen on
the inside of the rear lid provides
additional privacy for the main
luggage area.
Rear wiper.
Both Cayman models can also
be equipped with a highly
effective and streamlined rear
wiper system. Its elegant form
blends harmoniously with the
exterior design.
ParkAssist.
This optional parking aid is
automatically 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 distance is measured by a
row of ultrasonic sensors, which
are neatly concealed in the rear
bumper.

‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
This standard lighting function
provides comfort and safety
when using the car after dark.
The foglights and taillights are
automatically illuminated when the
car is locked or unlocked using
the key remote. The lights remain
illuminated for 30 seconds,
lighting your way to or from the
car. This delay is user-adjustable
on vehicles with optional Sport
Chrono Package Plus and Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM).
HomeLink®.
This optional garage-door opener
is freely programmable and
integrated within the cockpit. It
offers remote control of up to
three garage, gate, home lighting
and/or alarm systems. Compatible
with virtually all garage and gate
systems.
Water-repellent side windows.
The side window glass on both
Cayman models has a highly
effective water-repellent finish. By
rapidly dispersing moisture and
dirt, it ensures optimum visibility
in the wet. (Note: surface finish
requires occasional renewal
depending on vehicle usage.)
Front wipers.
The front wipers have an adjustable
wipe interval, are aerodynamically
designed and park neatly out
of sight when not in use. The
right-hand blade has a bowed
construction enabling maximum
wiper coverage. The windscreen
washer system features two
heated nozzles with integral filter
element. An optional rain sensor
is also available in conjunction
with the auto-dimming interior and
exterior mirrors.
