Cruise control.
Cruise control is fit ted as stand -
ard for added driver comfort on
long stretches of road. Cruise
control operates in the 30 to
240 km/ h (20 –150 mph) speed
range and is selected using a
but ton on the steering column
control stalk.
Adaptive cruise control.
Available as an option, this en -
hanced version of cruise control
regulates the speed of your vehicle in line with the speed of
the vehicle in front. How does it
work? A radar sensor inside the
front centre air intake scans the
road ahead up to a distance of
200 m.
If you’ve selected a cruis
-
ing
speed but have begun to gain
on
the vehicle in front because
it is driving more slowly, this is
detected by the radar sensor.
The system now reduces the
speed of your vehicle at a maxi -
mum rate of 3.5 m/s² by restrict -
ing the throt tle or gently applying
the brakes. This continues until
the distance that you have preset
is maintained. Your vehicle will now
follow the one in front at a re -
duced speed. If the other vehicle
decelerates further, adaptive
cruise control will continue to
reduce your cruising speed –
even down to a halt. For increased
safet y, the system also readies
the brakes whenever a decreasing
distance to the vehicle in front is
detected. Adaptive cruise control
and PSM interact to precharge
the braking system. If heavier
braking is required, the driver will
have to intervene manually.
As soon as the road ahead clears,
your vehicle will accelerate back
up to the cruising speed originally
set. To pull away af ter an auto -
matic stop, simply press the con -
trol lever or depress the accelera -
tor pedal.
Slide/tilt sunroof.
The slide/tilt sunroof is available
as an option for all Panamera
models. It is made from tinted
toughened safet y glass and fea -
tures a manually adjustable sliding
sunscreen and remote closing
function.
