2008 PORSCHE CAYENNE air condition

Whatever the terrain, the passenger
compartment provides a comfort-
able environment for up to five adult
occupants. The partial-leather seats
have 12-way electric adjustment
for the driver and front passenger.
Other standard features include
air conditioning and the CDR-30
CD radio with two-tuner frequency
diversity and 12 loudspeakers.
The optional automatic air condi-
tioning has separate temperature
adjustment for the driver and front
passenger. Alternatively, there’s a
four-zone air-conditioning system
with additional controls for the
rear seat occupants.
The luggage compartment offers
540 litres of loadspace. With the
rear seats folded, this is increased
to as much as 1,770 litres*.
For easier loading, there’s an
optional automatic tailgate (see
page 144). Other load-carrying
solutions include a roof transport
system and a choice of towbars
(manually detachable or electrically
retractable). Both can be used
with braked trailer loads up to
3,500 kg.
The passive safety concept
offers excellent protection for
all occupants. The concept is
based on a sophisticated body
structure featuring multi-phase
steels, energy-absorbing areas
and side-impact protection.
This is augmented by a compre-
hensive airbag system featuring
full-size front airbags for driver
and front passenger, integratedroof-mounted curtain airbags
covering both rows of seats,
and thorax airbags in the front
seat backrests.The Cayenne. Performance,
practicality, Porsche.

More agility. More efficiency. More safety.
So far, it all makes perfect sense.
The Cayenne Turbo.
This enormous potential is trans-
mitted to the road through the stand-
ard six-speed Tiptronic S.Running
on 19-inch Cayenne Design
wheels,
the benchmark sprint to
100 km / h
(62 mph) is completed in just
5.1 seconds. At 210 km / h (131 mph),
the standard air suspen
sion is
automatically lowered to
increase
stability and aerodynamic
efficiency.
Maximum speed is 275 km / h
(171 mph).
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) continuously
modifies the damping force on
each wheel based on changing
road conditions and driving style.
The optional Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) helps to
minimise body-roll when cornering.
This not only enhances occupant
comfort, it also improves contact
with the road. Pulse rate climbing. Shiver down
the spine. Both natural reactions
in a turbocharged Porsche.
The Cayenne Turbo is one of the
most remarkable examples of
the Porsche performance principle.
Blending power with comfort,
it does so in style without ever
compromising on either.
Start the ignition, and immediately
you sense the energy latent in
the 4.8-litre twin-turbo V8.
Featuring direct fuel injection (DFI),
it develops 368 kW (500 hp) at
6,000 rpm. Maximum torque
of 700 Nm is available between
2,250 and 4,500 rpm.Press the ‘Sport’ button on the
centre console and the throttle
becomes more responsive,
the engine more dynamic and
Tiptronic S more direct. At
the same time, Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM)
is also switching to ‘Sport’ mode.
The air suspension is automatically
lowered to the more streamlined

Drive
Maximum freedom requires total control.
Electronic engine management.
The electronic engine management
system provides coordinated
regulation of all engine functions
and associated systems in all
operating conditions.
The basic principle of engine
management is simple. Throughout
each journey, the system monitors
a range of input data and compares
it with corresponding sets of
reference values (‘maps’). Key
engine functions, such as ignition
and fuel injection, can be seamlessly
and automatically adjusted. The
results: optimum fuel economy and
lower emissions as well as greater
power and torque.One of the most important systems
controlled by engine management
is the electronic throttle, a
prerequisitefor Porsche Stability
Management
(PSM). Other major
functions include on-board diagnos-
tics and cylinder-specific knock
control featuring automatic compen-
sation for changes in fuel quality.
On the Cayenne, Cayenne S
and Cayenne GTS, the engine
management system controls
the variable-tract intake manifold.
On the Cayenne Turbo, it regulates
the turbo boost pressure.

Chassis
Active damping adjustment for optimum performance and comfort.
Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
Both systems are optional on
the Cayenne and Cayenne S. The
Cayenne GTS has an exclusive
combination of PASM and high-
performance steel-sprung suspen-
sion (ride height lowered by 24 mm).
During performance driving or
heavy off-road use, there is a
greater tendency for the body
to roll. PASM prevents this from
happening, thereby improving
stability and occupant comfort.
PASM has three setup modes:
‘Comfort’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’.
In all three cases, the system
uses a series of sensors to
monitor the movement of the
body, e.g., under acceleration and
braking or on poor road surfaces.
It also gathers data on lateral
acceleration, steering angle, brake
pressure and engine torque. The
PASM control unit then evaluates
this information and modifies the
damping forces in accordance
with the selected mode.
PASM remains active at
all times, adapting to the
changing conditions.
If the road surface deteriorates
while travelling in ‘Sport’ mode,
for instance, the system
immediately changes to a softer
rating, thereby improving road
contact. When the road surface
improves, PASM automatically
reverts to the original, harder
rating. This not only increases
stability and safety, it also
enhances comfort.
PASM is an electronic damping
control system. It offers continuous
adjustment of individual damping
forces based on current road
conditions and driving style. PASM
is standard on the Cayenne Turbo
in conjunction with air suspension.

Off road
Every Porsche is designed and
built to the highest possible
standards – in dynamics, agility,
safety, comfort and everyday
practicality. Combined, the result
is pure driving pleasure. With the
Cayenne models: on any terrain.
All four cars were developed for
the road – and much of the land
beyond. Simply shift the transfer
gearbox into ‘low-range’ mode and
the car is ready for any terrain.
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM) and Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) make a range
of modifications, including auto-
matic
selection of low-range
gearing, a high-traction off-road
chassis
programme (with off-road
ABS and
ABD) and High Level I on
vehicles
with air suspension.
The centre differential, part of
the all-wheel drive system, can
be fully locked for the toughest
conditions.At High Level II, the ground
clearance is increased by a further
30 mm. All models can negotiate
gradients of up to 45° (100 %).
Hill-starts are easy with the Hill
Holder function in Tiptronic S and
Porsche Drive-off Assistant on
vehicles with manual gearbox.

Off-road capability.

Environment
Fuel system.
We have also applied the highest
engineering standards to protect
the environment from fuel
evaporation. The non-return
fuel supply system provides a
considerable reduction in vapour
emissions. The fuel lines are
partly constructed from steel,
while those carrying vapour are
made from multi-layer plastics.
A large active-carbon filter and
multi-layer plastic fuel tank help
reduce evaporation even more.
A leak detection pump is also
included to monitor the integrity
of the fuel tank system.
Acoustics.
Think of a Porsche and what
do you hear? One of the most
distinctive sounds on the road.
A sound created not just by the
engine, but also by the absence
of unwanted noise. To minimise
Fuel economy.
At Porsche, we’re using innovative
technologies to increase perform-
ance while enhancing fuel economy.
With direct fuel injection (DFI),
we’ve made our engines more
efficient in terms of both output
and consumption. DFI is combined
with VarioCam Plus in the V8 engines
and variable valve timing in the
Cayenne V6. As well as improving
performance and economy, both
of these systems help to minimise
engine emissions. The low-drag
exterior on each Cayenne model
further improves efficiency.
Fuel.
All Porsche models are already
compatible with a fuel ethanol
content of up to 10 %. Ethanol
has a positive impact on the carbon
dioxide balance since the plants
grown for its production absorb
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
‘play’ between engine components
under all load conditions, we’ve
used stronger, lighter and more
temperature-resistant materials.
This reduces mechanical noise
and eliminates the need for engine
encapsulation. Large-volume
silencers and air intake manifolds
also help to minimise noise –
throughout the life of the car.
Tyre noise has been drastically
reduced in collaboration with
our official tyre partners. Wind
noise levels have also been
lowered thanks to aerodynamic
refinements.
All that remains is the Porsche
sound – as legendary as ever.
