2008 PORSCHE CAYENNE engine

Environment
Servicing.
Although every journey is a pleasure
in a Porsche, there’s one you won’t
have to make too often. Thanks to
the lengthy service intervals and
long-life components, we may not
be seeing you for some time.
In the case of the oil filter, for
example, all that’s replaced is an
easily recyclable paper element.
The oil filter casing remains on
the car.
All moving parts inside the engine
are fully self-adjusting. The valve
clearances, for example, feature
automatic hydraulic control.
All camshafts have a zero-
maintenance chain-drive system.With single-spark coils on each
of the cylinders, the entire ignition
system, with the exception of the
spark plugs, is maintenance-free.
These modest servicing require-
ments mean less waste disposal
and fewer demands on natural
resources. They also lower the
cost of ownership while keeping
your car on the road.
Service intervals for the Cayenne
models are dependent on a range
of factors, including local fuel
quality. For full details of service
intervals in your country/region,
please consult the relevant price
list or contact your Porsche Centre.
Materials and recycling.
Owning a Porsche should be a
lasting pleasure with minimal
impact on the environment. That’s
why every Porsche is built to
endure both technically and in
terms of design. The lightweight
exhaust on the Cayenne models,
for example, is constructed from
long-life stainless steel.
Weight reduction is a fundamental
part of the Porsche design philoso-
phy. By using a greater proportion
of high-strength materials, e.g.,
special steels, cast aluminium
alloys and synthetic materials, we
have successfully reduced the
weight of each car and therefore
its fuel consumption. Every produc-
tion process we use at Porsche
is designed with the environment
in mind. Also, every Porsche model
is
entirely free of asbestos, CFCs
and
components manufacturedusing
CFCs. All legal requirements
in respect of recycling are fulfilled.
Materials are labelled in accordance
with VDA 260, enabling better
recycling of end-of-life vehicles and
individual parts and assemblies.
While more than 85 % of the car
can be recycled using current
technologies, the chances are
your new Cayenne may never need
recycling at all. After all, two thirds
of all the cars we have ever made
are still on the road today.

engine immobiliser and anti-theft
alarm featuring ultrasonic interior
surveillance.
The alarm circuit includes all four
doors, engine lid, tailgate, rear

proved, the engine can be started
as normal.
When the key is removed from the
ignition, the steering column is
automatically locked to provide
additional security.
Porsche Entry & Drive.
With this optional system, you can
reduce the inconvenience of a con-

unlocked. To start or stop the
engine, simply push the ignition
button.
To lock the car on leaving, all you
have to do is press a button on the
outside of the door handle. Porsche
Entry & Drive then secures the car
doors, arms the immobiliser and
locks the steering column.

Comfort
Five discrete audio channels (front
left, front right, centre, surround
left and surround right) plus a low-
frequency effects channel provide
naturalistic sound with precise spatial
location of voices, instruments,
sound effects, etc., at the front
and rear of the car. A 360-degree
soundstage, its realistic 3D audio is comparable with a concert hall
or cinema.
Naturally, you can also play
conventional CDs, either in stereo
mode or as surround sound
generated by the patented BOSE®
Centerpoint®technology. The
new Centerpoint
®II algorithm
takes the standard stereo signal
and generates a more precise and
realistic surround sound output.
BOSE
®SurroundStage®signal
processing assigns each audio
channel to a combination of
speakers to achieve a more
balanced surround sound at all
seat positions.
Of course, there’s more to the
BOSE®Surround Sound System
than exceptional surround sound
a 410-Watt 10-channel digital
amplifier to produce a powerful
sound experience.
The system supports digital 5.1
surround sound on audio and video
DVDs to create a lifelike audio
environment.
The optional BOSE®Surround Sound
System (standard in the Cayenne
Turbo) was specially developed
to Porsche specifications and
custom-engineered for the Cayenne
models. A total of 14 loudspeakers
(including active subwoofer and
centre-fill speaker) combine with

alone. All audio output is precisely
engineered for the specific interior
acoustics of the Cayenne models.
The dynamic loudness function
automatically enhances the lower
frequencies in low-volume sound
in order to compensate for the
reduced sensitivity of the human
ear at this end of the spectrum.
AudioPilot
®noise compensation
technology uses a microphone in
the cockpit to monitor ambient
sound. The system is then able
to provide real-time adjustment
of all audio output for a more
consistent sound experience.

you’ll appreciate even more the
powerful capability of the Cayenne
range of engines.
For the largest of loads, you can
choose from two towing options:
an electrically retractable towbarsystem or a manually detachable
towbar. With the electric system,
the ball neck can be retracted
beneath the rear apron – all at
the push of a button. Both options
are available for all Cayenne
models, have a maximum braked
trailer load of 3,500 kg* (with a
maximum noseweight of 140 kg)
and come with a 13-pole socket.
All Cayenne models have a towbar
preparation as standard.
This exceptional capability is
enough for virtually every type
of load. Even another Porsche.
Towbar systems.
Whatever your passion, all four
Cayenne models offer a wealth
of possibilities that go beyond
the pleasure of driving. When fully
laden or with a heavy trailer load,
Roof transport systems.
Even when the luggage compartment
is completely full, the Cayenne has
space for more. Using the standard
roof rails, the car can be equipped
with an optional roof transport
system. It is compatible with all the
usual load-carrying attachments
available from Porsche Tequipment,
e.g., ski/snowboard carriers and
roof boxes. All load-bearing parts
are made from robust aluminium
and designed for a maximum loadof 100 kg. The optional roof
rails
can also be combined with
a set of transverse roof bars
from Porsche Tequipment, offering
a maximum load of 75 kg.
Transport
The Cayenne is built to carry many things.
Even another Porsche.
