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.
