front because it is driving more slowly –
this is detected by the radar sensor. The
system now reduces the speed of your
vehicle by restricting throt tle or by gently
applying the brakes until your chosen
distance from the vehicle in front is main -
tained. If the vehicle ahead slows further,
regulates the speed of your vehicle in line
with the speed of the vehicle in front. A

radar sensor scans the road ahead up to
a distance of 200 m.
Imagine you’ve selected a cruising speed
but have begun to gain on the vehicle in
within the speed limit, it also helps you to
save fuel by maintain

The auto start /stop function can be
deactivated and reactivated using a sepa-

function may be deactivated automatical-

or when there is low bat tery charge.

remain switched on. The engine will
restart as soon as you operate the clutch
or, in cars with PDK, release the brake.
This fuel-saving innovation is designed
primarily for use in towns or congested
motorway traffic.
Auto start/stop function.
The auto start/stop function, which is
integrated as standard in the Boxster
models, switches off the engine when
you stop, select neutral and release the
clutch pedal.
In cars with Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), it is simply a
case of applying and holding the brake.

Servicing.
In the Boxster models, the generator and
air conditioning system are driven by a
single self-adjusting belt. The drive chains
on the camshafts do not normally require
servicing. With the sole exception of the
spark plugs, the ignition system is also
maintenance-free in normal servicing. In
short, longer service intervals mean long er-
lasting driving pleasure.
initiation of targeted braking. During this

process, any braking by the driver is
boosted to achieve the maximum braking
force that the system is able to provide.
Electrical system recuperation.
For enhanced ef ficiency the Boxster
models are equipped with intelligent elec -
trical system recuperation. The vehicle
bat tery is recharged by the generator
predominantly under braking. Thanks to
this selective recharging, when you
request full driving power the maximum
possible output can be directed straight to
the road.
For increased safet y, the system also
readies the brakes whenever it detects
that the distance from the vehicle is

decreasing. However, the driver should
be prepared to intervene manually if
heavier braking is required. As soon as
the road ahead clears, your vehicle will
accelerate back up to the cruising speed
originally set.
Porsche Active Safe (PAS) issues an audi -
ble and a visual warning if the system
detects that your vehicle is approaching
the vehicle in front too quickly. This is
accompanied by a brief application of
brake force and, where necessary, the

PCCB enables shorter braking distances
in even the toughest road and race
conditions. Excellent fade resistance
ensures greater balance when slowing

road. The optional Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB) is a fine exam-
ple. This brake system has already had
to cope with the harshest requirements
of motor racing and is fit ted in cars
that compete in demanding events such
as the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The cross- drilled PCCB ceramic brake

discs for the Boxster have a diameter of
350 mm front and rear for even more
formidable braking performance.
The use of six-piston aluminium mono -
bloc fixed brake calipers on the front axle
and four-piston units at the rear – all
finished in yellow – ensures extremely
high brake forces which, crucially, are
exceptionally consistent.
The dynamics of the Boxster and
Boxster S also demand appropriate brake
discs. All Boxster brake discs are intern -
ally vented and cross-drilled for improved
braking in wet conditions. With a diame -
ter of 330 mm, the front brake discs of
the Boxster S are 15 mm larger than
those of the Boxster. The diameter of
the rear brake discs is 299 mm on both
models. The brake calipers on the
Boxster and Boxster S are black and red,
respectively.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
From the start, Porsche has been syn -
onymous with motorsport. Ever since
1948, when we found our identit y on the
racetrack, we have taken the experience
we have gained and applied it to the

Brakes.
Porsche brakes set standards worldwide
for stopping power and stability. For the
Boxster models, braking per formance is
as essential as driving performance.
Both models are equipped with four-
piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers
at the front and rear. This design means
that, not only are the brakes extremely
resistant to deformation, they are light -
weight for a particularly fast and sensitive
braking response.
Large brake calipers help to provide
excellent braking and component stability
even during continuous use. These t wo
characteristics have also been optimised
by the brake ventilation system with air
spoiler at the front and rear axles.

automatically and the braking effect

nents be professionally inspected and
replaced where necessary after every
track event.
Please note that circuit racing, trackday
use and other forms of performance

driving can significantly reduce the
service life of even the most durable
pads and discs. As with conventional
high-performance braking systems,
represents a major reduction in unsprung and rotating masses. The consequence of
this is bet ter road holding and increased
comfort, particularly on uneven roads,
as
well as greater agilit y and improved
handling.
Another key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50
% lighter than standard discs of similar
design and size. As well as enhancing
performance and fuel economy, this
