Air suspension.
The Cayenne models can be equipped
with an air suspension system featuring
self-levelling, ride-height control and
PASM (p. 57)
1) – for enhanced driving
dynamics and comfort. The self-levelling
facility maintains a constant ground
clearance, which can easily be adjusted using the ride-height control on the
centre console.
Air suspension with PASM standard
on the Cayenne Turbo. Optional for all
other Cayenne models.

Steel-spring suspension.
The steel-spring suspension meets
high-level requirements in terms of per
-
formance, driving pleasure and off-road
capability. Consistent lightweight con -
struction – e.g. through the increased
use of aluminium – results in improved
driving dynamics, greater fuel economy
and enhanced comfort. The steel-spring suspension with a 24 mm reduction in
ride height on the Cayenne GTS is
designed to
deliver one thing above
all else: sports performance.
Standard on the Cayenne, Cayenne
Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid
and Cayenne GTS.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC).
Available as an option in conjunction
with air suspension, Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) is an active

anti-roll system that further enhances the
extraordinary road holding and precision
handling of the Cayenne models. PDCC
anticipates and significantly reduces
lateral body movement when cornering
with the aid of the active anti-roll bars
featuring hydraulic swivel motors on
the front and rear axles. The system
responds to the current steering angle
and lateral acceleration by producing a
stabilising force that precisely negates
the swaying
force of the body. The bene-
fits are greater agilit y at every speed,
more responsive steering, stable load transfer characteris
tics and enhanced
occupant comfort. When off-road mode
is selected via a switch on the centre
console, this allows the t wo halves of
each anti-roll bar to rotate further in
opposition to each other. This in turn
enables greater wheel articu lation and
ensures that each individual wheel has
more contact with the ground, improving
traction on uneven surfaces.
Optional for the Cayenne, Cayenne S,
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.

Cayenne Turbo (optional on all other
models) maintains a constant ground
clearance at front and rear.
For greater convenience, the air sus
