Porsche Traction Management (PTM).
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
comprises an active all-wheel drive with
electronic and map - controlled multi - plate
clutch, with automatic brake differential
(ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR).

The electronically controlled multi - plate
clutch regulates the distribution of drive
force bet ween the permanently driven
rear axle and the front axle. Through
continuous monitoring of the driving
conditions, the electronics are able to respond to a variet y of situations.
Sensors check, among other variables,
the rotation speeds of all four wheels,
longitudinal and lateral acceleration of
the vehicle, and the steering angle. If, for
example, the rear wheels spin under
acceleration, a greater proportion of
drive force is redirected to the front by a
more powerful engagement of the multi-
plate clutch. In addition, ASR reduces
wheel slip. In corners, the drive force
sent to the front wheels is regulated for
optimum lateral stability.
Exerting your authority. Letting go. Providing balance.

Chassis.
In this way, PTM, in conjunction with
the upgraded version of Porsche Stabilit y
Management (PSM, p. 67) ensures
optimum force delivery in every driving
situation and excellent acceleration
power: whether on long straights, through
tight corners, or on road surfaces with
varying grip.
Standard in the Panamera 4,
Panamera 4S, Panamera GTS and
Panamera Turbo.

Steering and Power steering Plus.
The steering system with its variable
steering ratio is precise and direct.
Around the straight ahead position, such
as when on the motorway, the ratio is less
direct with no loss of agilit y or feedback
from the road. When the steering wheel is
turned further, the steering ratio becomes
more direct, allowing easier cornering and
parking. For even greater driving comfort,
speed-sensitive Power steering Plus is
available as an option. At high speeds,
the firmer steering ratio enables precision
steering manoeuvres; at low speeds,
the ratio automatically adjusts to facilitate
parking. Power steering Plus is standard in the
Panamera S E-Hybrid and optional for

all other Panamera models.
Steering wheels.
The multifunction steering wheel is
standard in all models and available on
request for the Panamera GTS at no
extra cost. It features t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches for manual gear
selection and of fers convenient control
of audio, telephone and navigation
functions as well as the on-board
computer. In conjunction with PDK and
the Sport Chrono Package (p. 68), you
will find an additional display above the airbag module for the SPORT and

SPORT PLUS modes and the Launch
Control function.
The SportDesign steering wheel with
gearshift paddles is fit ted as standard
in the Panamera GTS and available
as an option for all other models. It is
distinguished by its striking dual-arm
design. Upon request, it is possible to
have the SportDesign steering wheel
finished in black Alcantara.
We haven’t reinvented the wheel.
Just about everything else that goes with it.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC) including Porsche Torque
Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
is an active anti - roll system that antici-
pates and reduces lateral body move -
ment during cornering manoeuvres. In
addition, it minimises the lateral insta -
bilit y of the vehicle on uneven ground.

PT V Plus – in combination with PDCC –
enhances driving dynamics as well as
stabilit y. As a function of steering angle
and steering speed, accelerator pedal
position, yaw rate and vehicle speed, it is able to improve steering response and
steering precision by specific braking of
the right or left rear wheel.


What do PDCC and PT V Plus mean for
you? Remarkable lateral stability and
easier handling, excellent traction, and
great agilit y at every speed with precise
steering and stable load transfer
characteristics. And even more fun in
the corners.
Optional for the Panamera models
(except Panamera S E-Hybrid).
The more stable the relationship,
the greater your individual freedom.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM maintains stability even at the limits
of dynamic driving performance. Sensors
continuously monitor the direction, speed,
yaw velocit y and lateral acceleration

of the car. PSM improves traction under
acceleration on inconsistent road sur faces.
When SPORT PLUS mode is selected

on the Sport Chrono Package (p. 68),
the PSM intervention threshold is raised
to give sport y drivers greater freedom
to assert their own driving st yle.
Standard in the Panamera models.

71Balance
At Porsche, intelligent engineering is
also key to providing balance, especially
behind the steering wheel. On long
straights or in tight corners, with lighting
systems, for example, that enable the
driver to breathe easy regardless of the
road ahead. With brake systems that
contribute to the driver’s inner calm and
assistance systems that of fer support
rather than take over, as you will discover
from page 100 onwards.
Calm and pulse. Balance.

Your first impression of the Panamera
interior is the generous amount of comfort.
The second impression is one of sport y
lightness and excellent ergonomics. The
five round instruments have an integrated
4.8-inch colour screen. The centre console
ascends towards the front, shortening the
reach bet ween the steering wheel and the
gear selector. All the important controls
are arranged into logical groups to give
you quick access to important functions
without the need to browse through long
sub-menus.Smooth-finish leather, natural leather,
two-tone colour combinations, elegant
woods, aluminium and carbon – thanks
to these and many more personalisation
options, you can make your Panamera
even more sport y or even more
comfortable. Or both. In the Panamera
Turbo and Panamera GTS, the rooflining

is upholstered in Alcantara as standard
(optional for all other models). For
more detailed information about colours
and personalisation, please refer to
page 110 onwards.


There’s still nothing quite like being surrounded by your own four walls.
Even when you’re on the move.
Interior.
The Panamera models offer a variet y of
storage options, for example in the doors
and centre console. There is a cupholder
in the front centre armrest and t wo
cupholders in the rear compartment. On
request at no extra charge, it is possible
to have a further t wo fold- out cupholders
fitted above the glove compartment.

For extra storage space, a large centre
console is available as an option for
the rear compartment. It comes with a
230 -volt socket, an additional 12-volt

concept with switch- off delay is practical
and appealing. This includes illuminated
door handles and storage compartments
in the front, orientation lights, front
foot well lights and also reading lights
and interior lights – one of each for all
four seats.

Electronic logbook.
An electronic logbook is available for
PCM as an option. It automatically logs
the mileage, route distance, date, time,
starting location and destination for ever y
journey. The soft ware fulfils all statutory
requirements for automatic logbooks as
specified by the German revenue
authorities.
Telephone module.
The quadband GSM telephone module is
available as an option for PCM and offers
convenience and excellent reception.
With a SIM card inserted directly into
PCM’s integral SIM card reader, calls
can be made using either the hands-free
facility or the cordless handset.
Alternatively, the Bluetooth
® capability
of a mobile phone can be used to make
calls through the SIM Access Profile
(SAP). Once automatic pairing is complete,
the mobile phone’s aerial is switched
off to conserve bat tery charge and the
phone operates via the car aerial.
Depending on the type of mobile phone,
this gives access not only to the numbers
on the SIM card, but also to the phone’s
internal memory. Also depending on
the phone, it can be controlled using
PCM, the multifunction steering wheel
or the voice control system without it
ever leaving your pocket. In addition,
the telephone module enables you to
establish a Bluetooth
® link with those
mobile phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this case, the
GSM connection is always established
through the aerial of the mobile phone. PCM acts as a hands-free system and you
can leave the mobile phone tucked away.
Please refer to the note on page 136.


To make a private call, despite having
other passengers in the vehicle, the
telephone module includes a cordless
Bluetooth
® handset, with display and
keyboard located in the centre console.
However, the handset cannot be used
for Bluetooth
® links established using
the Handsfree Profile (HFP).
Mobile phone preparation.
An optional mobile phone preparation is
available to enable a Bluetooth
®
connection for those mobile phones that
only support the Handsfree Profile (HFP).
This function also enables you to leave
your mobile phone tucked away. The CDR
audio system and PCM can be used to
control only the basic functions of the
mobile phone and the GSM connection is
established through the mobile phone’s
aerial. Please refer to the note on
p age 13 6.
Online services.
Using the free-to - download Aha Radio
app, you can use your smartphone to
stream Internet radio, news feeds,
podcasts and audiobooks directly to the
PCM. Local information, such as hotel
and restaurant listings, can be read aloud
automatically thanks to text-to-speech
functionality. Point of Interest searches
with subsequent direct selection as your
navigation destination are also supported.
The online content is received by your
smartphone and controlled by means of
