To protect the driver and passenger,
the new Cayman models are equipped
as standard with full -size airbags, which
are inflated in t wo stages depending on
the severit y and t ype of accident (e.g. frontal or offset frontal). In less serious
accidents, the airbags are only partially
inflated, thereby minimising discomfort

to the occupants. In addition to the central airbag control
unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair

of impact sensors are located near the
headlights. This allows a crash to be
detected and evaluated far sooner and
with considerably greater accuracy.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (P oSIP).
Both new Cayman models are equipped
as standard with the Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP). It comprises
t wo side airbags on each side. An integral

Steering wheels.
Do you have an exact idea of how things
should turn out? The steering wheel vari -
ants of the new Cayman models with high-
grip rim in smooth-finish leather enable
you to take precise control. In combination
with the optional fully electric seats, the
steering wheel is also electrically adjust-able and, for even more convenience, a
memory function is included.
Sports steering wheel.
The three-spoke sports steering wheel is
fit ted as standard and offers up to 60 and
40 mm of adjustment for both height
and
reach, respectively. In conjunction with optional PDK, it features two ergonomic
switches. One press with the thumb and
PDK shifts up. One pull with the index

finger and PDK shifts down. Either the
right or left hand can be used. If your
Cayman is equipped with the optional

Sport Chrono
Package and optional PDK,
there is an additional display above the
airbag module. It tells you whether the SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Launch Control
functions are activated.
The multifunction steering wheel, which

is available on request, provides extra
convenience with four function buttons

and t wo thumbwheels for easy operation
of many audio, telephone and navigation
functions.
SportDesign steering wheel.
Available on request, the SportDesign
steering wheel is distinguished from the
standard steering wheel by its t win-spoke
design. Even on sport y drives, it remains
in firm hands. In conjunction with optional
PDK, the steering wheel features t wo
gearshift paddles. These are made of solid alloy and are ergonomically located behind

the left- and right-hand steering wheel
spokes. Pull the right-hand paddle and
PDK shifts up. Pull the left-hand paddle
and PDK shifts down. When PDK has been
combined with the optional Sport Chrono
Package, the left- and right-hand spokes
additionally feature a display that tells you whether the SPORT, SPORT PLUS

and Launch Control functions have been
activated.
Steering wheel heating.
For extra comfort on those cold days,
a heating function is available as an

option for the sports steering wheel and

Sports seats.
The standard Sports seats are comfort
-
able and provide support even when the
car is driven hard into corners. The seat
centres are finished in Alcantara. Electric
backrest adjustment and manual height
and fore/af t adjustment are integrated as
st a n d a rd .
Sports seats Plus.
The optional Sports seats Plus are uphol -
stered in smooth -finish leather. The side
bolsters of the seat squab and backrest
are more prominently defined and have
a firmer, more sport y padding for even
bet ter lateral support. To help you find
the optimum posture, the seats feature

electric backrest adjustment and manual
height and fore/aft adjustment.
Fully electric Sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness
for comfort, the optional fully electric
Sports seats offer fully electric adjust-
ment of seat height, backrest angle, squab
angle and squab depth. Also electrically
operated are the fore/af t adjustment,
four-way lumbar support and even the
steering column. The included memory
package supports a range of set tings,
including both exterior mirrors and all

driver’s seat and steering wheel positions.
a daptive Sports seats Plus.
For a stronger connection bet ween sport
and comfort, adaptive Sports seats Plus
are available on request. These are an en -
hanced version of the distinctive Sports
seats Plus with the added functionalit y of
fully electric adjustment of both the seat and the side bolsters on the squab and
backrest.
Sports bucket seats.*
Sports bucket seats are available as an
option and feature a folding backrest,


integrated thorax airbag and manual fore/
aft adjustment. The carbon surface finish
conceals a seat shell in glass-/carbon-fibre
reinforced plastic.
Seat heating and ventilation.
A seat heating function is available as an
option for all seats (except for the sports
bucket seats). Seats are heated in the
squab, backrest and side bolsters. In con -
junction with seat heating, we can also
equip your seats with seat ventilation on
request. A slipstream effect is produced
by active ventilation of the perforated
seat centre and backrest and by passive
aeration at the side bolsters. This evapo -
rates perspiration moisture and therefore
makes for a dry and pleasant seating
environment, even in hot weather.
Child seats.
A Cayman should be enjoyed by passen -
gers of all ages. ISOFIX child seat pre-
paration is available as an option and

includes a deactivation function for the
passenger airbag.
