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.

Seeing and being seen.
It’s all about having the right technology.
Driver assistance systems.
ParkAssist.
This parking aid uses an acoustic signal
and front /rear displays to alert the
driver of any obstacles at the front or
rear of the car. Its sensors are neatly
concealed in the front and rear aprons.
The acoustic signal is supplemented
by a visual warning in the centre console
display which provides a graphical r ep-
resentation of the vehicle’s proximit y to
obstacles.
Standard on the Cayenne Turbo.
Optional for all other Cayenne models.
Reversing camera.
The reversing camera facilitates reverse
parking and manoeuvring and also
assists with hitching a trailer. Help is
provided in the form of a high-contrast
colour image with dynamic guidelines
on the PCM screen, which show the pre -
dicted course of the vehicle based on the
current position of the steering wheel.
The ParkAssist visual proximity indicator
is also shown in the central display.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
Automatically dimming mirrors.
Another comfort-oriented feature:
automatically dimming exterior and
interior mirrors.
Standard on the Cayenne Turbo.
Optional for all other Cayenne models.
Cruise control.

the speed of your vehicle for added
driver comfort on longer journeys. It
can be used at speeds bet ween 30
and 240 km/ h and is operated using a
button on one of the control stalks.
Standard on all Cayenne models.
