| Safet y
The 911 Carrera models are equipped

as standard with Bi ­Xenon headlights
including a headlight cleaning system
and dynamic range control. The LED
front light units incorporate direction indi ­
cators, day time running lights and posi ­
tion lights. Automatic headlight activation
is also included as standard.
Cut ting edge LED technology is also
used for the taillights, the high ­level third
brake light, the licence plate illumination,
the rear direction indicators, the rear fog
light and – on all ­wheel ­drive models –
the rear light strip. LEDs provide bet ter
illumination and respond more quickly
to driver input. In the event of sudden
braking, the adaptive LED brake lights
begin to pulsate. If the vehicle is braked
to a halt, the hazard warning lights will
switch on automatically.
The lighting system features an automa­
tic
switch ­off and the ‘Welcome Home’
function.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS) is available as an option. Its dy ­
namic cornering light function swivels the
headlights towards the inside of a bend,
based on steering angle and road speed,
in order to illuminate more of the road at
tight bends and turns. Put simply, the
road ahead is illuminated the moment
you enter a bend. Speed ­sensitive head ­
light range control is also part of the
PDLS as is the adverse weather function.
LED main headlights with Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS +
).
Superior safet y meets sport y design in
the form of the LED main headlights with
PDLS +
which are available as optional
equipment. Integrated into each head ­
light housing are four LED spots, for the
day time running lights, and one LED
light ring. In addition to being efficient
and long ­lasting, LED technology also
creates a light very similar to daylight
and thus helps to reduce driver fatigue.

To see something coming, experience helps.
So does forward-looking technology.

Lights.One special feature of PDLS +
is the
dynamic main beam function. A camera
detects the lights of vehicles ahead as
well as those of oncoming traffic. Based
on the data from the camera, the dy ­
namic main beam function then adapts
the headlight range accordingly. This
continuous, stepless control means that
you are able to see the course of the road, pedestrians and potential hazards
earlier without hindering other road
users.

Climate control.
The 911 models feature t wo
­zone auto ­
matic climate control as standard with
an enhanced ventilation effect and sepa ­
rate temperature controls for the driver
and front passenger. The available air
conditioning modes are gentle, normal
and strong.
An active carbon filter traps particles,
pollen and odours and an automatic
air ­recirculation function permanently
monitors air quality, reduces humidity

and switches from fresh to recirculated
air when required. A demister function keeps the windows
clear in cold weather. In warmer weather,
a solar sensor helps the climate control

to detect strong sunlight and automatically
compensate for the comfort of both the
driver and front passenger.
HomeLink® (programmable garage
door opener).
As an option, it is possible to have
a programmable garage door opener
integrated into the overhead console.
At the push of a but ton, it controls up
to three different garage doors, lighting
systems or alarm systems.
Many things have practical qualities.
Even more have a sporty function.
And some are just extremely convenient.

Additional comfort and convenience features.
Cruise control.
This automatic speed control function is
available as an option. For greater driver
comfort on long stretches of road, cruise
control operates in the 18–149 mph
speed range and is activated using a but ­
ton on the steering column control stalk.
Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing.
It comprises dimmable LEDs in the over ­
head console and in the areas of the
door pulls, door storage compartments,
front foot wells and rear seats.
‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
For convenience, particularly at night,
the ‘Welcome Home’ lighting function
automatically switches on the LED day
­
time running lights for a defined period
whenever the vehicle is opened or
closed using the key remote.
A customisable delayed switch ­of f timer
keeps the daytime running lights, the

taillights and, where applicable, the
courtesy lights switched on until you
reach your front door.
Adaptive cruise control with Porsche
Active Safe (PAS).
Available as an option, this cruise control
function regulates your speed according
to the distance bet ween your vehicle and
the vehicle in front. A radar sensor moni ­
tors the road ahead up to a distance of
200 m. If you have set a cruising speed but have begun to gain on the vehicle in
front because it is driving more slowly,
this is detected by the radar sensor.
The system now reduces the speed

of your vehicle at a maximum rate of
3.5 m/sec
2 by restricting the throt tle
or by applying the brakes appropriate
to the prevailing situation until the dis ­
tance that you have preset is maintained. Your vehicle will now continue at a
reduced speed. If the other vehicle

decelerates further, adaptive cruise
control will continue to reduce your
cruising speed – even down to a halt. For additional safet y, if the system detects
that the distance from the vehicle in front
is decreasing, it will also prepare your
vehicle for braking by precharging the braking system so that the brake pads
are already in light contact with the
brake discs. However, drivers still have
to perform heavier braking themselves.
As soon as the road ahead clears again,
your vehicle will accelerate back up to
the cruising speed originally set.
If your vehicle approaches the vehicle

in front too quickly, Porsche Active Safe
(PAS) will issue audible and visual warn ­
ings. In addition, the system briefly jerks
the brakes and if necessary initiates
target braking, with any braking pressure
applied by the driver being increased
within certain system limits.
