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.

Management (PCM).
PCM is an optional multimedia
control and display system
featuring radio, CD player, audio
controls, on-board computer and
GPS navigation. It can also be
combined with an optional tri-band
telephone module. Key features
include a high-resolution 5.8-inch
colour display with 16 : 9 aspect
ratio. The menu structure is easy
to navigate using a multifunction
rotary push-button control. A 12-
digit keypad is also included for
dialling outgoing calls. The system
also provides easy access to the
performance display and memory
function included with the optional
Sport Chrono Package Plus.The DVD drive used for satellite
navigation is housed in the front
luggage compartment. One of the
benefits of this arrangement is
that the MP3-compatible CD drive
in PCM can be used exclusively
for audio CDs.
On-board computer.
The standard on-board computer
provides a wide range of
information, including average
fuel consumption, average speed,
range till empty and audio data.
It can also be used to view data
from the optional Tyre Pressure
Monitoring (TPM). Information is
accessed using a control stalk on
the steering column and viewed in the central instrument display.
If combined with the optional
PCM, you can access additional
data and functions such as
average values and driver-defined
speed-limit warnings. The control
stalk for the computer is also
used to select the analogue and
digital timing functions in the
optional Sport Chrono Package
(see pages 54/55).Navigation system.
The PCM navigation system
includes an intuitive menu
structure and dedicated DVD
drive. One of the main benefits
of DVD navigation is rapid route
calculation. The wide range of

this optional GSM telephone
module has an integral hands-free
facility. The microphone is
concealed beneath the steering
column casing and is directed
towards the driver’s position.
Functions can be accessed using
dedicated keys on the PCM
terminal, a control stalk on the
steering column, or the optional
three-spoke multifunction steering
wheel.Special features include SMS
(text) messaging as well as card-
free calls to emergency services.
The antenna is located neatly
out of sight beneath the scuttle
at the base of the windscreen.
A passive (keyless) handset
offering greater call privacy is
available as an optional extra.

This optional CD autochanger
has a total capacity of six CDs.
Compatible with both the
standard audio system and PCM,
