All Cayenne models have internal-
ly vented discs all round, ensuring
consistent performance during
heav y use. The front disc dimen-
sions (diameter/thickness) are
350 mm/34 mm on the Cayenne
and Cayenne Diesel, 360 mm/
36 mm on the Cayenne S and
Cayenne S Hybrid, and 390 mm/
38 mm on the Cayenne Turbo.All models have six-piston
monobloc aluminium brake
calipers at the front and four-
piston equivalents at the rear.
The calipers are black on the
Cayenne and Cayenne Diesel
and silver on the Cayenne S
and Cayenne S Hybrid. On the
Cayenne Turbo, they feature a
striking red paint finish.
Braking is assisted by a tandem
booster and large brake master
cylinder. Further assistance is
provided by PSM (p. 66).
For greater safet y, the brake pads
are equipped with individual wear
sensors, alerting the driver when
new pads are required.
Electric parking brake.
Manually activated and deactivat-
ed, the electric parking brake
releases automatically as you drive
off.
Automatic hold function.
With the automatic hold function,
you can pull away on the flat or a
slope without ever rolling back.
The system automatically detects
when the vehicle has come to a
halt on an uphill gradient. PSM then
maintains the brake pressure at all
four wheels for a brief period to
prevent the vehicle from moving in
the opposite direction.
Braking systems.
Porsche brakes are renowned
worldwide as the benchmark
in performance and durabilit y.
Equipped with larger and more
powerful braking systems, the
Cayenne models continue this
tradition by offering excellent
deceleration – even when the
car is fully laden with five adult
occupants, a full complement
of luggage and a braked trailer
load of up to 3,500 kg (Cayenne
with manual gearbox: 2,700 kg).
Outstanding brake performance.
To the point.
