Wheels.
The electrically adjustable steer-
ing column has a driver-selectable
‘Easy Entry’ function, which raises
the steering wheel towards the
dashboard whenever you enter
or leave the car. The comfort and
sports seat options (standard on
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo)
have a comfort memory package
that stores your preferred
wheel position as well as seat
and exterior mirror settings.
The steering column consists of
multiple collapsing sections linked
by three universal joints. A special
deformation element offering
70 mm of travel provides a high
level of safety in the event of front
impact.
Servotronic.
Servotronic is a speed-sensitive
power steering system available
as an option on all Cayenne
models.
At higher speeds, the steering
becomes firmer, inputs are more
precise and driver comfort is
greatly enhanced.
At lower speeds, it enables easy
manoeuvrability and parking. For optimum manoeuvrability, on
and off road, all Cayenne models
have variable-ratio steering
and special valve settings on
the power-steering system. Lock-
to-lock travel is a modest
2.65 turns, while the turning
circle is just 11.7 metres.
The steering wheel can be adjusted
by 50 mm for reach and 40 mm
for height. Both adjustment options
are electrically assisted on
the Cayenne GTS and Cayenne
Turbo. Electric adjustment is also
available as an option on the
Cayenne and Cayenne S as part
of the optional comfort or sports
seat package (each with comfort
memory package). The optional
padded steering wheel (standard
on Cayenne GTS) brings added
sporting style to each model.
