2011 PORSCHE CAYENNE ESP

Standard on all Cayenne
models.
Halogen main headlights.
The projector-beam halogen main
headlights feature automatic
static range control and reflection
high-beam lights – for optimum
illumination of the road.
Standard on the Cayenne,
Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S
and Cayenne S Hybrid.
Bi-Xenon main headlights with
Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS).
Featuring halogen auxiliary
headlights, integrated headlight
cleaning and automatic dynamic
range control, the Bi-Xenon main
headlights provide more uniform
illumination of the road in both
dipped and high-beam mode.
The dynamic cornering light
function swivels the main
headlights towards the inside of
a bend
based on the current
steering angle and road speed.
The static cornering lights acti-
vate the auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate more of the
road in tight bends and turns.
PDLS also features speed-
sensitive headlight control and
an adverse weather function,

which is activated in conjunction
with the rear foglight – for even
greater safet y, not just at night
and during cornering.
Standard on the Cayenne Turbo.
Optional for all other Cayenne
models.
Daytime running lights.
Fit ted as standard on all
Cayenne models: LED day time
running lights. On the Cayenne,
Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S
and Cayenne S Hybrid, these
are arranged horizontally in the front light units, whereas
on the Cayenne Turbo each
main headlight unit has four
LED spotlights. Day time running
lights improve safet y in the
day time as they make you more
visible to other road users.
Taillights.
LED technology is used for all
functions on the rear light mod-
ules. For an ultra-fast response
and greater luminance. In short:
for greater safet y.
In an emergency stop, the
adaptive LED brake lights on
the Cayenne models pulsate
to alert the traf fic behind more
quickly to a critical situation.
The high -level third brake light is
integrated into the roof spoiler.
Automatic headlight activation.
The headlights are automatically
switched on when darkness sets
in or when driving through a tun-
nel in the day time. Other features
include an automatic switch - of f
and ‘Welcome Home’ function –
when you arrive at a destination
after dark, the headlights remain
illuminated for a user- defined
period, lighting your path from
the car.
It ’s always a pleasure taking
corners in a Porsche. Especially when they’re now so visible
at night. The striking lighting
arrangement is also instantly
recog nisable. The lights on the
Cayenne Turbo feature a unique
design that dif fers significantly
from all other models.
Driving with foresight.
Quite literally.
Active safety.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
To do this, the engine manage-
ment system adjusts the gener-
ator current depending on the
brake pedal position, recovers
part of the kinetic energy and
stores it in the bat tery. When
the pressure on the brake pedal
exceeds a certain threshold, the
brakes are applied.
Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB).
Available as an option on all
Cayenne models, the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
has already proven its abilit y to
cope with the harshest require-
ments of the racetrack. It is avail -
able in conjunction with 20-inch
wheels or larger for the Cayenne
Turbo and with 19-inch wheels or
larger for all other Cayenne models.
The discs are made from a
specially treated carbon-fibre
compound that is silicated
in a high-vacuum process at
approximately 1,700 °C. The
resulting material is not only
much harder than cast iron, it
is also more resistant to heat.
Even at high temperatures, the
thermal resistance of the PCCB
disc ensures outstanding dimen-
sional stabilit y. The ceramic
material is totally resistant to
corrosion and offers excellent
acoustic damping properties.
PCCB enables shorter braking
distances – no mat ter how tough
the driving conditions. The pedal
response is fast and precise with
only moderate input required.
Excellent fade resistance ensures
greater balance when slowing
from high speed.The key advantage of PCCB is
a total weight saving of approxi-
mately 50 % compared with
equivalent cast-iron discs. As well
as enhancing performance and
fuel economy, the unsprung and
rotating masses are lightened.
The results: greater comfort
and road-holding on uneven road surfaces plus bet ter handling
and agility.
Optional for all Cayenne
models.
Recuperation.
The electronic engine manage-
ment system on the Cayenne S
Hybrid controls the braking
process so that, when the brake
pedal is actuated, as much
expended energy as possible
can be harnessed by the electric
machine’s generator and stored
in the 288-volt nickel metal
hydride (NiMH) bat tery. This is
referred to as recuperation.

PSM has three additional func-
tions that help reduce braking
distances. If the throt tle pedal
is released suddenly, PSM
automatically readies the braking
system. The pressure in the
brake lines is marginally increased,
bringing each of the pads into
light contact with the correspond-
ing disc. If the driver goes on
to apply the brakes, the calipers
respond more quickly and the
braking distance is reduced. In an emergency stop – i.e. when
the pressure on the brake pedal
exceeds a certain threshold –
the brake assist function uses the
PSM hydraulics to apply maximum
braking force at all four wheels.
For added safet y, the system
also readies the brakes whenever
a decreasing distance to the
vehicle in front is detected. The
optional adaptive cruise control
and PSM interact to prefill the
brakes.
Even if adaptive cruise control is
inactive, the system registers the
speed of the vehicle in front and
automatically readies the braking
system. In addition, the system
alerts the driver to the decreasing distance by briefly tugging on
the brakes.
PSM also features a trailer
stabilisation function – for a
significant contribution to car
and trailer safet y.
Within the laws of physics, it
compensates for load transfer
caused by throt tle and brake
inputs up to the maximum degree
of lateral acceleration. It also en-
hances the car’s driving dynamics
and directional stabilit y when
accelerating on inconsistent road
surfaces.
Other features include a special
control strategy in the ABS
for braking on loose surfaces.
By briefly locking the wheels, a wedge is formed ahead of each
t yre which provides additional
purchase to help slow the car,
e.g. on gravel or snow.
For a more involving driving
experience, PSM can also be
disabled, but remains active in
the background.
Standard on all Cayenne
models.
accele ration of the car. Using
this information, it is possible to
calculate the actual direction of
travel at any given moment. If
the car begins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective
braking on individual wheels to
restore stabilit y. If necessar y,
PSM can also intervene in the
engine management system to
temporarily modif y the amount of
drive transmit ted to the wheels.
Porsche Stability Management
(PSM).
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM) is an electronic control
system that uses a range of
functions – including anti-lock
braking (ABS) – to help stabilise
the vehicle (and trailer, if fit ted)
in hazardous road scenarios.
Throughout each journey, sensors
monitor the direction, speed,
yaw velocit y and lateral

Thanks to single-spark 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 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 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 today.

environmental issues, please

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.
