Introducing the safety features of the Cayman models.

in the taillights, brake lights and

illumination and respond more
quickly to driver input.
Bi-Xenon headlights with
dynamic cornering lights and
LED daytime running lights.
Available as an option for the
Cayman models are Bi-Xenon
headlights including dynamic
cornering lights and LED day time
running lights. Bi-Xenon headlights

This determines the angle of the
dynamic cornering lights, with the
lights able to swivel towards the
inside of the bend up to a limit of
15 degrees, even with the main
beam switched on.
Active safety.
Active safet y is a topic that
Porsche actively supports. With
generous safet y margins, even
the suspension tuning makes a
decisive contribution. Optimum
acceleration enables rapid
overtaking and optimum braking
minimises stopping distances.
Safe contact with the road is
provided not only by the wheel/
t yre combination but also by the auto - deploying bi-plane rear
spoiler and aerodynamic front end.
Another important standard
safet y feature is Porsche Stabilit y
Management (PSM, p. 72).

position lights in the front light unit
ensure clear visibilit y at all times.

it is automatically reactivated for
your safet y if either of the front
wheels (in ‘Sport ’ mode, both
of the front wheels) requires ABS
assistance. ABD remains perma -
nently active. Two additional
functions of PSM increase safet y
even further: precharging of the
brake system, and brake assist.
If you suddenly release the accel -
erator pedal, PSM automatically
readies the braking system. With
the braking system having been
precharged, the brake pads are
already in light contact with the
brake discs. Maximum braking
power is therefore achieved much the car. The forces exerted in a
frontal collision are transmit ted
into the side structure along a
higher load path (4), which improves
the deformation characteristics
of the passenger cell even further.
Porsche Stability Management
(PSM).
PSM, which comes as standard, is
an automatic control system that
stabilises the vehicle at the limits
of dynamic driving performance.
Sensors continuously monitor
driving direction, speed, yaw veloc-
it y and lateral acceleration. Using
this information, PSM computes the
actual direction of motion. If this
direction deviates from the desired
course, PSM initiates braking
interventions targeted at individual
wheels in order to stabilise the
vehicle.
sooner. When sudden braking is
detected, the brake assist function
applies maximum brake pressure
to all four wheels.
Passive safety:
engineered design.
The system of longitudinal and
transverse members at the front
of the vehicle (1) distributes the
Under acceleration on wet or
low-grip road surfaces, PSM
improves traction using the ABD
(automatic brake differential)
and ASR (anti-slip regulation)
functions, giving an agile
response. When ‘Sport ’ mode is
selected on the optional Sport
Chrono Packages (p. 62), the PSM
intervention threshold is raised to
enable greater driver involvement
– particularly at speeds of up to
approximately 70 km/ h (45 mph).
The integrated ABS can further
reduce the braking distance.
For an even sportier drive, PSM
can be deactivated. However, forces exerted onto the bodyshell
in the event of an impact and
minimises deformation of the
passenger cell. Our patented
body work structure with a rigid
bulkhead cross member (2) made
of ultra high-strength steel absorbs
the forces introduced into the
system of longitudinal members
which prevents deformation of the
foot well. The reinforced doors (3)
contribute to the overall rigidit y of
