2010 PORSCHE CAYENNE airbag off

curtain­t ype airbags on each
side of the roof offering opti ­
mum head protection for both
rows of seats and side impact
protection elements in each
door. Side airbags at the rear
are also available as an option.
Two impact sensors are located
at the front of the car to enable
bet ter detection of a head­on
collision. The driver and front
passenger airbags use a gas
generant based on an organic
propellant. As a result, the air ­
bags are lighter, more compact
and easier to recycle. A roll ­over
detection system provides
additional protection in the event
that the car were to overturn.
Using sensor ­acquired data, it
enables early deployment of
the curtain airbags and triggers
the seat ­belt pre ­tensioners.
Seat belt system.
The Cayenne models feature
three ­point seat belts on all
five seats, as well as seat ­belt
pre ­tensioners (front and outer
rear seats) and force limiters
(front seats only).
ISOFIX mounting points.
The front passenger seat and
outer rear seats are equipped
with ISOFIX mounting points for
compatible child seats (p. 84)
as standard. If a child seat is
mounted on the front passenger
seat, the corresponding airbag
can be quickly deactivated using
a key ­operated switch.
Airbags.
All Cayenne models are equipped
with full ­size front airbags for
driver and front passenger as
standard. These are augmented
by Porsche Side Impact Protec ­
tion (POSIP). This comprises
a side airbag in each front seat,
Bodyshell construction.
Our ongoing development of
the light weight steel body is a
decisive factor in the enhanced
passive safet y and unparalleled
rigidit y of the Cayenne body.
In the event of an accident, a
system of side and cross ­

members at the front of the car
helps to channel impact energy
in a safe and predetermined
manner. The interior is protected
by hot ­formed super high ­strength
steel reinforcements, including
side intrusion beams in each of
the doors.
High strength and consistent
deformation properties: t wo

key safet y requirements fulfilled
by the multiphase steel used
throughout the body. Thanks to
a safet y cage structure made
from high ­tech steels, the highly
resilient passenger cell of fers
