2011 PORSCHE CAYENNE brake light

At Porsche, we are continually
changing. Looking for a new and
dif ferent approach. Without ever
losing sight of where we’ve come
from. That ’s how we remain true
to ourselves.
The basic Cayenne concept is
therefore the same. We’ve just
continued to improve it: the
Cayenne is
now lighter – up to
165 kg
1) depending on the speci-
fication
– and also more dynamic,
more comfortable, and closer
to the road than ever before.
Without detracting from the

qualities required for off-road
driving or towing heav y loads.
Its naturally aspirated 3.6-litre
V6 engine features direct fuel
injection (DFI, p. 38), variable
valve timing on both inlet and
exhaust, and a variable resonance
intake manifold – for a generous
output and excellent fuel econ-
omy. In other words: we have
enhanced the performance, while
significantly lowering the weight,
fuel consumption and CO
2 emis-
sions. The figures speak for themselves: maximum torque of
400 Nm, 220 kW (300 hp), a top
speed of 230 km/ h (143 mph)
and the abilit y to accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) in
7.5 se conds. With both fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions
reduced by 20 %.
1), 2) Delivering
this power to the road efficiently,
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 44) combines active all-
wheel drive
with an electron ically
variable
multi-plate clutch, auto -
matic brake dif ferential (ABD) and
anti-slip regulation (ASR). PTM
enables the perfect distribution of
drive torque to all four wheels,
whether on long straights, through
tight corners or on surfaces with
dif ferent friction coef ficients: for
dynamic handling
and increased
traction. Drive is transmit ted
through a high-performance
six-speed manual gearbox (p. 42),
which ensures optimum progres-
sion through the gears.
In addition to the standard
18-inch Cayenne wheels and
larger brakes, the Cayenne
can be fit ted with the optional Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB, p. 64) – for out-
standing brake performance.
Another key advantage: a total
weight saving of approximately
50 % compared with equivalent
cast- iron discs.
The generous standard equipment
includes partial-leather seats,
climate control, the CDR-31 audio
system with touchscreen, cruise
control and automatic headlight
activation. For added comfort,
there’s also a ‘Welcome Home’
lighting function. When you arrive
at a destination af ter dark, the
headlights remain illuminated for
a user- defined period, lighting
your path from the car.
So, a unique blend of the great
sports performance and unre-
stricted everyday practicalit y that
is t ypical of Porsche. Let ’s be
honest, would you have expected
any thing else?
Everything has changed. Apart from the concept.

Available as an option for the
Cayenne in conjunction with
the optional Tiptronic S.
VarioCam Plus.
VarioCam Plus creates t wo en-
gines out of one by steplessly
adjusting the inlet valve timing
and lift.
The system dif ferentiates
bet ween normal road usage and
performance driving, adapting
seamlessly as driver inputs
change. All functions are auto -
matically controlled by the
engine management system.
All you experience is responsive
acceleration and ultra-smooth
running characteristics. Inlet valve
timing is steplessly adjusted. To
improve response when starting
from cold, for example, VarioCam
Plus selects the higher lif t set ting
and retards valve timing.
At medium revs and minimal
load, the valve lif t is lowered and
timing advanced to minimise fuel
consumption and emissions. At
low engine speeds in particular,
VarioCam Plus significantly im-
proves fuel economy. To achieve maximum power and torque, the
valve lif t is raised.
Overall, the system provides
greater performance with rela-
tively modest fuel consumption.
Standard on the Cayenne S
and Cayenne Turbo.
Variable valve timing.
The V6 engine in the Cayenne
features variable valve timing
on both inlet and exhaust.
The camshaft phase angles are continuously varied by
the
engine management system via
rotary-vane adjusters.
On the Cayenne S Hybrid, the
inlet valve timing is continuously
adjusted.
The key benefits include bet ter
fuel economy and lower emis-
sions. It also helps to generate
greater power and torque –
even at low engine speeds.

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

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.

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
Preparing for the road ahead.
