Making headway without getting in a spin.
An approach we thoroughly support.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
A system for enhancing driving dynamics
and stability, PTV Plus offers variable
distribution of engine torque to the rear
wheels and electronically controlled rear
differential. Depending on the steering
angle, steering speed, throttle pedal
position, yaw velocit y and vehicle speed,
PT V Plus optimises steering response
and precision by applying brake pres -
sure to the left or right rear wheel, as
r equired. Specifically, this means that when enter
-
ing a corner at high speed, moderate
brake pressure is applied to the inside
rear wheel. This transfers drive torque to
the outside rear wheel which supports
the steering motion of the car, thereby
improving its cornering dynamics.
At slow and medium speeds, PT V Plus
considerably enhances agility and steer -
ing precision. At high speeds, during
fast cornering and under wheel spin, the
electronically controlled rear differential
ensures additional stabilit y. Also on
variable-grip surfaces, in the wet and on snow, PT V Plus – combined with Porsche
Traction Management (PTM, p. 47) and Porsche Stabilit y Management (PSM, p. 68)
– provides a major contribution to active
safety.
In off-road terrain, PT V Plus reduces
wheel spin on the rear wheels – even when towing heav y trailer loads. The
electronically controlled rear differential
can be fully locked using the off-road
control on the centre console.
Optional for the Cayenne, Cayenne S,
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
Porsche Active Suspension

Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping control
system. It offers continuous adjustment
of individual damping forces based on
current road conditions and driving st yle.
During performance driving or heav y off-
road use, there is an increased tendency
for the body to sway. PASM prevents
this from happening, thereby improving
stability and occupant comfort. PASM
has three setup modes: ‘Comfort ’,
‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)
Whichever one you select, the system
uses a series of sensors to monitor the
movement of the body. It also gathers
data on lateral acceleration, steering
angle, brake pressure and engine torque
and modifies the damping force on each
individual wheel in accordance with the
selected mode.
PASM remains active at all times. It
automatically adapts to the prevailing
driving conditions, enabling greater
car control and improving comfort and
safety.The Cayenne GTS is the only model in the
range to feature a steel-spring suspension

with a 24 mm reduction in ride height
including PASM. For a lower centre of
gravit y and even closer contact with the
road.
Optional for the Cayenne, Cayenne
Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid.
Standard on the Cayenne GTS.

Standard on the Cayenne Turbo:
air suspension with PASM.

Driving with foresight.
Quite literally.
Active safety.
It’s always a pleasure taking corners
in a Porsche. Especially when they’re
now so visible at night. The striking
lighting arrangement is also instantly
recognisable.
Automatic headlight activation.
The headlights are automatically
switched on when darkness sets in
or when driving through a tunnel in the
daytime. Other features include an auto -
matic switch-off and ‘Welcome Home’
function – when you arrive at a destin -
ation after dark, the headlights remain
illuminated for a user-defined period,
lighting your path from the car.
Standard on all Cayenne models.
Halogen main headlights.
The projector-beam halogen main head -
lights feature automatic static range
control and reflection high-beam lights –
for optimum illumination of the road.
Standard on the Cayenne, Cayenne
Diesel, Cayenne S and Cayenne S
Hybrid.
Bi-Xenon main headlights with
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Bi-Xenon main headlights – which
also have a black surround on the
Cayenne GTS – feature halogen auxiliary
headlights, integrated headlight cleaning
and automatic dynamic range control.
This provides more uniform illumination
of the road in both dipped and high-beam
mode. The dynamic cornering light function
swivels the main headlights towards the
inside of a bend based on the current
steering angle and road speed. The static
cornering lights activate the auxiliary
headlights in order to illuminate more of
the road in tight bends and turns.
PDLS also features speed-sensitive
headlight control and an adverse
weather function, which is activated

in conjunction with the rear foglight –
for even greater safet y, not just at night
and during cornering.


Standard on the Cayenne GTS and
Cayenne Turbo. Optional for all other
Cayenne models.

Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(PDLS Plus).
PDLS Plus offers t wo additional func -
tions: high Beam Assistant recognises
oncoming vehicles and automatically
switches the headlights from high beam
to dipped beam.
As you approach a crossing, Intersection
Assistant activates the left and right
indicators, making the beam of light
broader and shorter. This improves illu -
mination of the area directly surrounding
the vehicle, making the driver more
aware of what ’s going on around him.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
Daytime running lights.
Fit ted as standard on all Cayenne
models: LED day time running lights. On the Cayenne, Cayenne Diesel,
Cayenne S and Cayenne S Hybrid, these
are arranged horizontally in the front light
units, whereas on the Cayenne GTS and
the Cayenne Turbo each main
headlight
unit has four LED spotlights. Day time
running lights improve safet y in the
day time as they make you more visible
to other road users.
Taillights.
LED technology is used for all functions
on the rear light modules. For an ultra-
fast response and greater luminance.
In
short: for greater safet y. In an emer -
gency stop, the adaptive LED brake
lights on the Cayenne models pulsate
to alert the traffic behind more quickly
to a critical situation. The high-level third
brake light is integrated into the roof
s p o i l e r.

Outstanding brake performance.
To the point.
Braking systems.
Porsche brakes are renowned worldwide
as the benchmark in performance and
durability. 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 occu -
pants, a full complement of luggage and
a braked trailer load of up to 3,500 kg
(Cayenne with manual gearbox: 2,700 kg).
All Cayenne models have internally
vented discs all round, ensuring con -
sistent performance during heav y use. The front disc dimensions (diameter/
thickness) are 350 mm/34 mm on
the Cayenne and Cayenne Diesel,
360 mm/36 mm on the Cayenne S,
Cayenne S Hybrid and Cayenne GTS, 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 GTS and 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. 68).
For greater safet y, the brake pads are
equipped with wear sensors, alerting
the driver when new pads are required.
Electric parking brake.
Manually activated and deactivated,
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.

Recuperation.
The electronic engine management sys -
tem on the Cayenne S Hybrid controls
the braking process so that, when
the brake pedal is actuated, as much
expended energy as possible can be

harnessed by the electric machine in gen-
erator mode and stored in the 288-volt
nickel metal hydride (NiMH) bat tery. This
is referred to as recuperation. To do this,
the engine management system adjusts
the generator current depending on the
brake pedal position, recovers part of
the kinetic energy and stores it in the
bat tery. When the pressure on the brake
pedal exceeds a certain threshold, the
brakes are applied.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).

Available as an option on all Cayenne
models, the Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) has already proven its
abilit y to cope with the harshest require -
ments of the racetrack. It is available in
conjunction with 20-inch wheels or larger
for the Cayenne Turbo and with 19-inch
wheels or larger for all other Cayenne
models.
The discs are made from a specially
treated carbon-fibre compound that is
silicated in a high-vacuum process at
approximately 1,700 °C. The resulting
material is not only much harder than
cast iron, it is also more resistant to
heat.
Even at high temperatures, the thermal
resistance of the PCCB disc ensures
outstanding dimensional stability. The
ceramic material is totally resistant to
corrosion and offers excellent acoustic
damping properties.
PCCB enables shorter braking distances
– no mat ter how tough the driving
conditions. The pedal response is fast
and precise with only moderate input
required. Excellent fade resistance
ensures greater balance when slowing
from high speed.
The key advantage of PCCB is a total
weight saving of approximately 50
%
compared with equivalent cast-iron discs.
As well as enhancing performance and fuel economy, the unsprung and rotating
masses are lightened. The results:
greater comfort and road-holding on
uneven road surfaces plus better
handling and agility.
Optional for all Cayenne models.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
Porsche Stabilit y Management (PSM) is
an electronic control system that uses a
range of functions – including anti-lock
braking (ABS) – to help stabilise the
vehicle (and trailer, if fit ted) in hazardous
road scenarios. Throughout each journey,
sensors monitor the direction, speed,
yaw velocit y and lateral acceleration of
the car. Using this information, it is pos-
sible to calculate the actual direction of
travel at any given moment. If the car
begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM
applies selective braking on individual
wheels to restore stabilit y. If necessary,
PSM can also intervene in the engine
management system to temporarily
modify the amount of drive transmitted
to the wheels. PSM has three additional functions that
help reduce braking distances. If the
throt tle pedal is released suddenly, PSM
automatically readies the braking sys
-
tem. The pressure in the brake lines
is marginally increased, bringing each
of the pads into light contact with the
corresponding disc. If the driver goes on
to apply the brakes, the calipers respond
more quickly and the braking distance is
reduced.
In an emergency stop – i.e. when the
pressure on the brake pedal exceeds
a certain threshold – the brake assist
function uses the PSM hydraulics to
apply maximum braking force at all
four wheels.
Preparing for the road ahead.
With a little help from PSM.
For added safet y, the system also read -
ies the brakes whenever a decreasing
distance to the vehicle in front is detect -
ed. The optional adaptive cruise control
and PSM interact to prefill the brakes.
Even if adaptive cruise control is inactive,
the system registers the speed of the
vehicle in front and automatically readies
the braking system. In addition, the sys -
tem alerts the driver to the decreasing
distance by briefly tugging on the
brakes.
PSM also features a trailer stabilisation
function – for a significant contribution
to car and trailer safet y. Within the laws
of physics, it compensates for load
transfer caused by throt tle and brake inputs up to the maximum degree of
lateral acceleration. It also enhances the
car’s driving dynamics and directional
stability when accelerating on inconsis
-
tent road surfaces.
Other features include a special control
strategy in the ABS for braking on loose
surfaces. By briefly locking the wheels,
a wedge is formed ahead of each t yre
which provides additional purchase to
help slow the car, e.g. on gravel or snow.
For a more involving driving experience,
PSM can also be disabled, but remains
active in the background.
Standard on all Cayenne models.

Speed limit indicator.
The speed limit indicator informs the
driver about speed restrictions, restric -
tions on overtaking and when these
no longer apply, which is recorded using
a camera.
Information is shown on the colour TFT
display in the instrument cluster and
via PCM. If the driver misses a traffic
sign – e.g. due to heav y rainfall or
darkness – the speed limit stored in
the navigation module is automatically
displayed.
This leaves the driver free to focus on
the road ahead.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
Speed limit indicator
Adaptive cruise control with
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
Optional on all Cayenne models, adaptive
cruise control regulates the speed of your
vehicle in line with that of the ve hicle in
front. To do that, the system uses a radar
sensor in the central air intake to monitor
the road up to 200 m ahead.
If you approach another vehicle that is
travelling slower than your selected
cruising speed, the system slows the
engine or gently applies the brakes.

This continues until the distance that
you have preset is maintained. If heavier
braking is required, the driver has to

actively intervene. Your vehicle will
now follow the one in front at a reduced
speed.
If the other vehicle decelerates further,
adaptive cruise control will continue to
reduce your speed – even down to a halt.
When the road ahead is free once more,
the car automatically returns to your
selected cruising speed between 30 and
210 km/ h. To pull away after an auto -
matic stop, simply use the control lever
or depress the accelerator pedal.
If selected by the driver, the integrated
Stop & Go function automatically applies
the brakes and then drives off again in
congested traf fic.
For added safet y, the system also
features integrated Porsche Active Safe
(PAS). The system visually and audibly
alerts the driver in the event of a sudden
decrease in distance and briefly tugs
on the brakes. It can also intervene in
the braking process and apply increased
braking pressure through to all- out emer -
gency braking, if required.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
