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.

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.

of the car’s dynamic exterior
lines. The seat position and
sports steering wheel offer
exceptional support and contact
– for an even sportier ride.A t ypical Porsche feature: the
five round instruments form the
familiar cluster and are slightly
raised from the dashboard as
a visual unit. The high -resolution
4.8-inch TFT colour screen
displays information from the on-
board computer or, in conjunction
with PCM including navigation
module, map data from the navi-
gation system. It also shows the
set tings of the optional adaptive
cruise control or gives various
warnings, such as alerts from
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM),
which is also available as an
option. On the Cayenne S Hybrid, the display also provides
information about the energy
management.
Oil pressure, oil and coolant
temperature as well as the fuel
level are displayed using analogue
gauges, while the boost pressure
gauge on the Cayenne Turbo is
digital. A compass display in
the instrument cluster is available
as an option in conjunction with
PCM. This shows the four cardinal
and four ordinal directions with
degree increments as well as your
current altitude.
The steering column offers man-
ual height and reach adjustment
(electrically adjustable on the
Cayenne Turbo). The steering
wheel rim is in smooth-finish
leather. As is the optional
SportDesign steering wheel with
gearshif t paddles – for genuine
race-st yle gearshif t action. Also
available as an option, the multi-
function steering wheel enables
easy access to a range of
functions including audio and
telephone.
