2010 PORSCHE CAYENNE PORSCHE CAYNNE 2010 1.G Information Manual

Weight reduction is a key aspect
of our design philosophy derived
from our rich racing heritage.
Part of our R&D Centre, the
Motorsport Department is locat ­
ed in Weissach where it shares
premises with the Automotive Industry Exhaust Emission Centre
(ADA).
Just a coincidence? We call
it symbiosis.
In practice: the new Cayenne is
up to 185 kg lighter, depending
on the model.
1) This was achieved
through new weight ­saving devel ­
opments and materials, new pro ­
duction technologies, advanced
functionalities and concept
modifications. By using lighter materials, for example, we have
halved the weight of the tailgate.
New materials are also a feature
of the axle construction, with
steel being replaced where pos­
sible by light weight alter
natives
such as aluminium and plastic.
The benefits for the driver:
greater agilit y and driving
dynamics – with lower fuel
consumption. Ef ficiency at
its best.
This is achieved using advanced
engine concepts featuring tech ­
nologies such as DFI (p. 38),
VarioCam Plus (p. 37), the auto
start /stop function (p. 36), the
parallel full hybrid drive and con ­
sistent light weight construction.The concept behind every car we
build is based around the pursuit
of performance. This has been
the case since 1948. Another
of our traditional core values
is efficiency. At Porsche, we

are continually striving to find a
successful balance bet ween
the t wo.
Great achievements are something to be proud of.
Even more so if they benefit the world around you.

has a separate control system
which the engine management
system uses to establish the
optimum amount of fuel – for
effective emissions control.
The exhaust­gas recirculation on
the Cayenne Diesel routes part
of the exhaust gas back into the
combustion process, resulting
in lower peak combustion tempera ­
ture
and therefore lower nitrogen
oxide emissions. An oxidation
catalyst also forms an integral part of the process along with

a diesel particulate filter. This
ensures that the new Cayenne
Diesel meets the EU5 emissions
standard.
Fuel and fuel economy.
Increasing performance while
enhancing fuel economy. The
new Cayenne comes in a choice
of three dif ferent drive systems
each featuring state ­of ­the ­art
technology for high ef ficiency and
relatively low fuel consumption.
The petrol ­engined models
already operate on fuels with an
ethanol content of up to 10%. The diesel engine is compatible
with a biodiesel blend of max. 7%.
This further improves the carbon
dioxide balance since the plants
grown for the production of
biofuels absorb carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere. As you
can see, for the benefit of the
environment, we are continually
working on making our cars more
ef ficient – as well as compatible
with alternative fuels. While
ensuring that they remain one
thing: a thoroughbred Porsche.
Fuel system.
We have also applied the highest
standards in order to protect
the environment from fuel
evaporation. The non ­return

fuel supply system provides a
considerable reduction in vapour
emissions. The lines carrying
vapour are made from multi ­layer
plastics. A large active ­carbon
filter and multi ­layer plastic fuel
tank help reduce evaporation still

Hybrid and new Cayenne Turbo.
advanced drive concepts –
from petrol and diesel engines to
our new parallel full hybrid drive.
This is further aided by the rapid
warm ­up cycle of the cataly tic
converters. The optimum operat ­
ing temperature is reached earlier
so emissions are reduced sooner
when starting from cold.
On the petrol ­engined and hybrid
models, another important feature
is the use of t win oxygen ­sensor
circuits. Each bank of cylinders Exhaust emissions.
The new Cayenne models are
all equipped with the latest emis ­
sions technology. As a result,
they comply with the stringent
European exhaust emissions
standard, EU5.
Whatever the class, every Porsche
combines high performance
with comparatively moderate
emissions. On the Cayenne
models, this is achieved using
Porsche engines.
Performing for today – and the future.

Thanks to single­spark coils on
each of the cylinders, the entire
ignition system on the petrol ­
engined models, with the
exception of the spark plugs,
is maintenance ­free.
These modest service 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. The new Cayenne S Hybrid
doesn’t require any additional
servicing.
Service intervals for the Cayenne
models are dependent on a range
of factors, including local fuel
qualit y. For full details of service
intervals in your country, 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. This
Porsche principle can be summed
up in one word: sustainabilit y.
The light weight exhaust on the
Cayenne models, for example,

is constructed from long ­life
stainless steel.
Every Porsche model is entirely
free of asbestos, CFCs and
components manufactured using
CFCs. All legal requirements in
respect of recycling are fulfilled.
Materials are clearly labelled for subsequent identification and
sorting to facilitate ef ficient
recycling.
While more than 95
% of the car
can be recycled using current
technologies, the chances are
your new Cayenne may never
need recycling at all. After all,
t wo thirds of all the cars we have
ever made are still on the road
t o day.

Servicing.
With lengthy service intervals
and long ­life components, vehicle
maintenance is kept to a min­
imum. 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 instance, feature
automatic hydraulic control.
Noise.
As paradoxical as it may seem,
the distinctive Porsche sound is
also created by what you don’t
hear – the absence of unwanted
noise. Naturally, its main origin is
deep within the engine. But that ’s
not all. Our holistic approach
to vehicle design also extends
to the acoustics. Which is why
we’ve optimised them for the
entire car.
To minimise ‘play’ bet ween com ­
ponents, we’ve used stronger,
lighter and more temperature ­
resistant materials. This reduces
mechanical noise. Large ­volume
silencers and air intake manifolds
also help to eliminate noise –
throughout the life of the car.
Tyre noise has been drastically
reduced in collaboration with
our of ficial t yre partners. Wind
noise levels have also been
lowered thanks to aerodynamic
refinements.
All that remains is a sound that is
pure Porsche.

totally new on the Cayenne: the
five round instruments now form
the familiar cluster and are slight

a visual unit. The high ­resolution
4.8 ­inch TFT colour screen
displays information from the on ­
board computer or, in conjunction
with PCM including navigation
module, map data from the navi ­
gation system. It also shows the
set tings of the optional adaptive
cruise control or gives various
warnings, such as alerts from Tyre
Pressure Monitoring (TPM), which
is also available as an option. On the new Cayenne S Hybrid, the
display also provides information
about the energy management.
Oil pressure, oil and coolant
temperature as well as the fuel
level are displayed using analogue
gauges, while the boost pressure
gauge on the new Cayenne Turbo
is digital. A compass display in
the instrument cluster is available
as an option in conjunction with
PCM. This shows the four cardinal
and four ordinal directions with
degree increments as well as your
current altitude.
The steering column offers man­
ual height and reach adjustment
(electrically adjustable on the
new Cayenne Turbo). The steering
wheel rim is in smooth
