Controlling fuel delivery for optimum combustion.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
Drive
designed to improve power, torque
and emissions. The swirling of the
injected fuel creates a homogenous
air/fuel mix, thereby enhancing
combustion.
At engine speeds up to 3,500 rpm,
a double injection process is used.
Here, the required fuel volume
is delivered in two successive
injections per working stroke. The
results are faster catalyst warm-up
and increased torque in the upper
load range. All four Cayenne engines feature
direct fuel injection.
As the name suggests, fuel is
injected directly into each
combustion chamber using electro-
magnetic injectors offering
extremely high precision in
terms of both timing and volume.
A high-pressure pump provides
the necessary pressure of up to
120 bar.

All Cayenne models have a
standard ‘Sport’ function with
a choice of comfort-oriented
(‘Normal’) or high-performance
(‘Sport’) setup.
When ‘Sport’ mode is enabled
using a button on the centre
console, the engine management
system selects a more ‘aggressive’
map for the electronic throttle.
The pedal response is quicker
and the engine more dynamic
and direct. On vehicles with
Tiptronic S, upshifts are performed
later, downshifts earlier. The
chassis control systems PASM
and PDCC (if present) are also
set to ‘Sport’ mode. Cars with
air suspension are lowered to
Low Level I, creating a firmer
ride, more positive turn-in and
better contact with the road.
The ‘Sport’ sound mode on the
sports exhaust system (standard
on Cayenne GTS; optional on
Cayenne S with Tiptronic S) is
also enabled when ‘Sport’ mode
is selected.

By mixing the fuel and air directly
in the combustion chamber, DFI
contributes to engine cooling.
As a result, it was possible
to increase the compression
ratio and therefore output and
efficiency.
The engine management system
regulates the injection process
based on changing output require-
ments. Oxygen sensor circuits
are used to monitor emissions
and minimize impact on the
environment (see page 60). This
also reduces ownership costs.
