Recuperation.
The electronic engine management
unit in the new Panamera S Hybrid
controls the braking process so
that, on activation of the brake
pedal, as much applied energy as
possible can be recovered via the
generator mode of the electric motor and returned to the 288-volt
nickel-metal hydride bat tery. This
process is known as recuperation.
Display concept.
The E-Power meter in the dashboard
s
hows the recuperation power and
drive power of the electric motor and the TFT colour display gives
real time information on the
energy flow.
The optional Porsche Communica-
tion Management (PCM) shows a
detailed diagram of the vehicle
with energy flow and statistics on
the amount of driving without the
combustion engine.
Additional electrical functions.
The systems which are normally
dependent on the drive power of
the combustion engine, such as
climate control, power steering
and braking, are powered
electrically in the new Panamera S
Hybrid. The functions remain
available for purely electric driving or when coasting with the combus-
tion engine switched of f.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
With DFI, the fuel is injected directly
into the combustion chamber at
up
to 120 bar pressure with milli-
second
precision via electromag-
netically activated injector valves.
The spray and cone angles of the
injection are optimised for torque,
power, fuel consumption and emis-
sions by enabling a homogeneous
distribution of the air/fuel mixture
and, therefore, effective combus-
tion. DFI improves the internal
cooling of the combustion chamber
by forming the mixture directly
in the cylinder. The resulting higher
compression ratio delivers more
output at the same time as
enhanced engine efficiency, thus
helping to protect the environment.
Variable camshaft control.
In the V6 combustion engine of
the new Panamera S Hybrid, fully
variable camshaft control is used to
adjust the intake camshaf t timing.
This is ef fectively controlled by the
electronic engine management
system. The result is maximum
output and high torque – even at
low engine speeds – and above
all, reduced fuel consumption and
emissions.
In summary, thanks to Porsche
Intelligent Performance, the new
Panamera S Hybrid delivers the
performance of a sportscar, along
with the low fuel consumption and
emission values of a hybrid vehicle.

CDR-31 audio system.
The CDR-31 audio system has a
7-inch colour touchscreen for
intuitive control of key functions
and menus. The integral CD radio,
including FM dual tuner and RDS
diversit y, 30 memory presets,
dynamic autostore and speed-
sensitive volume control, com-
prises a sound system with 10 loudspeakers and a total audio
output of 100 Wat ts. An optional
integrated six-disc CD/DVD auto -
changer is available. As an option,
CDR-31 can be combined with the
BOSE
® Surround Sound System.
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with
navigation module.
Porsche Communication Manage-
ment (PCM) is available as an
option on the new Panamera S
Hybrid. PCM is the central
information and communication
system. Powerful, versatile –
yet easy to operate.
The focal point is the 7-inch high-
resolution touchscreen. A maxi-
mum of five entries per page
ensures clarit y of presentation. In
specific situations, a help function
is displayed at the bot tom of the
screen.
A central function of the PCM in
the Panamera S Hybrid is the
graphic display of the hybrid drive
with its energy flow diagram, e. g.
for E-driving, E-Power, recuperation
or coasting. A statistical display
also shows the proportion of
driving that is emission-free, in
relation to the total driving time.
The radio has 42 memory presets,
an FM dual tuner with RDS diversit y which constantly scans in the back-
ground for the best signal, and a
dynamic autostore.
The CD/DVD drive plays CDs and
audio DVDs and is MP3-compatible.
Audio playback of video DVDs is
also supported. A six-disc CD/DVD
autochanger integrated in the PCM
is available as an option.
An optional universal audio interface
in the storage compartment of
the front centre console provides
a USB port for the connection and
charging of various iPod
® and
iPhone
® models, and for connect-
ing MP3 players or USB memory
sticks with MP3 music. It is oper-
ated
via the PCM, the optional
multifunction steering wheel or the
optional voice control. The USB port can also be used to download
the data on the electronic logbook.
The AUX interface is used to
connect an external audio source,
operated directly on the device
connected.
The navigation module with high-
speed hard drive, included with
PCM, gives you a choice bet ween
perspective or a t wo-dimensional
map view. You can also display
scenes and buildings in 3D in
some areas. The remaining route
is automatically adapted to the
maximum screen size. Split screen
mode enables you to view not only
the current map section but also
a list of symbols representing
your next driving manoeuvres.
Operation via the touchscreen is
quick and easy. Just touch the
TMC symbol in the map, for
example, and the dynamic route
guide via the TMC function
(Traffic Message Channel) is
immediately activated.
