Placing great weight on safety.
While taking things lightly.
Passive safety.
Airbags. 
All Cayenne models are equipped with 
full-size front airbags for driver and   
front passenger as standard. These   
are augmented by Porsche Side Impact 
Protection (POSIP). 
This comprises a side airbag in each 
front seat, curtain-t ype airbags on each 
side of the roof offering optimum head 
protection for both rows of seats and 
side impact protection elements in each 
door. Side airbags at the rear are also 
available as an option.
Two impact sensors are located at the 
front of the car to enable bet ter detec -
tion of a head- on collision. The driver   and front passenger airbags use a gas 
generant based on an organic propellant. 
As a result, the airbags are lighter, 
 
more compact and easier to recycle.   
A roll-over detection system provides 
  additional protection in the event that   
the car were to overturn. Using sensor- 
acquired data, it enables early deploy-
ment of the curtain airbags and triggers 
the seat-belt pre-tensioners.
Seat belt system. 
The Cayenne models feature three-point 
seat belts on all five seats, as well as 
seat-belt pre-tensioners (front and outer 
rear seats) and force limiters (front seats 
only).
ISOFIX mounting points. 
The outer rear seats are equipped with 
ISOFIX mounting points for compatible 
child seats (p. 87) as standard. These 
are available as an option for the front 
passenger seat.
Bodyshell construction.
Our ongoing development of the light -
weight steel body is a decisive factor   
in the enhanced passive safet y and 
  unparalleled rigidit y of the Cayenne body.
In the event of an accident, a system of 
side and cross-members at the front of 
the car helps to channel impact energy in 
a safe and predetermined manner. The 
interior is protected by hot-formed super 
high-strength steel reinforcements, 
  including side intrusion beams in each   
of the doors.
Passive safety: bodyshell
Passive safet y: airbags
High strength and consistent deformation 
properties: t wo key safet y requirements 
fulfilled by the multiphase steel used 
throughout the body. Thanks to a safet y 
cage structure made from high-tech 
steels, the highly resilient passenger cell 
offers high levels of protection.

The best seats in the house.
For everyone.
Rear seats. 
The rear bench offers generous space 
for up to three adult passengers and   
is st yled to match the front comfort or 
sports seats. For added practicality,   
the bench features fore/aft adjustment   
of 160 mm and a 40/20/40 split-folding 
facilit y. The flexible centre section folds 
down to create a load-through facilit y   
for longer items such as the optional ski 
bag. It also features a folding armrest. 
The process is quite simple: unlock and 
fold down. The rear seat backrest can be 
adjusted by up to 6 degrees: 3 degrees 
forward of the starting position and   
3 degrees back. When it comes to being 
user-friendly, the Cayenne models get 
right to the point – quick and easy.
Child seats.
With their unique design, Porsche child 
seats comply with high safet y standards. 
Available from Porsche Tequipment, they 
have been specially tested and approved 
for use in Porsche vehicles, offering 
  comfort and safet y for all passengers   
up to 12 years of age (or 36 kg in weight, 
respectively). All fabrics are breathable, 
kind to the skin and easy to clean. The 
covers can be removed and are washable. 
All of the Cayenne models have standard 
ISOFIX mounting points on the outer rear 
seats. These are available as an option 
for the front passenger seat. If a child 
seat is mounted on the front passenger 
seat, the corresponding airbag can be  quickly deactivated using a key-operated 
switch. All Porsche child seats can be 
easily installed via the ISOFIX slot-in 
  connectors. Alternatively, they can be 
  secured using the three-point seat belts.
For added safet y, the Porsche Baby Seat 
and Porsche Junior Seat ISOFIX come with 
their own five-point harness with central 
adjustment of the seat-belt length.
