2015 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4S display

Design 21
Design of the 911 Targa and
911
Cabriolet.
A legend of the 911 range, a classic, a
sports car dream – ‘the Targa’ always
will have a special place at Porsche.
Conceived 50 years ago as a ‘safet y
cabriolet’, the Targa gained its reputation
as a design icon thanks to its st yle-
defining roll bar. With the innovative fully
automatic roof system now in its seventh
generation, our engineers have seen the
Targa idea mature into a technical
masterpiece.
The roll bar, adorned with the ‘targa’ logo
underneath the side gills, and the
gracefully rounded rear screen bestow
the new 911
Targa 4 models with a
timeless elegance. Their engineering hallmark is the
inclusion of all-wheel drive as standard.
For added driving stability, reflected also
in the design, the body is 44 mm wider –
an impression accentuated by the
seamless light strip on the rear end.
Roof closed, the new 911
Targa displays
the profile of its 911
counterpart, whilst
offering the comfort of a Coupé. Open
the roof and the 911
Targa comes into its
own: a st yle icon that transcends fashions,
rich in tradition – even richer in future.
The new 911
Cabriolet models have also
always been characterised by open
virtues. Made for civilised cruising on
the coastal road, but also for some
sport y corner chasing in the mountains. Here, just like there, they excel with
powerful forward thrust, great agilit y,
and anticipation aplent y on every inch of
tarmac.
What does that have to do with design? A
great deal, because not only does the
innovative fabric hood capture the
elegance of a 911
Coupé silhouette, the
low drag coefficient and use of light weight
materials also mean that the 911 Cabriolet

models come uncannily close to matching
the performance of a closed-top 911.
Form and function once again working as
one. In a particularly aesthetic way.

Another component of the Sport Chrono
Package is the stopwatch mounted on
the dashboard. In conjunction with PCM,
a special performance display enables
you to view, store and evaluate lap times
or other driving times. It shows the total
driving time, lap distance, lap number
and lap times recorded so far. Dynamic engine mounts are also part

of the Sport Chrono Package. The
electronically controlled system
minimises the perceptible oscillations
and vibrations of the entire drivetrain,
particularly the engine, and combines
the benefits of a hard or soft engine mounting arrangement. In short, it
enhances both driving stability and
driving comfort. PSM Sport.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, PSM is supplemented
by a ‘Sport ’ mode. It allows a significantly
more sporty driving style, with PSM
remaining active in the background. For
a further enhancement to your driving
experience.

Comfort 79
The driver must always know how to get
ahead, without ever losing sight of the
bigger picture. For this reason, every thing
in the interior is geared towards looking
forward: to the car in front, to the next
corner, to the next driving manoeuvre.
That’s possible only when synergies are
created between engineering and design,
and sportiness and comfort. Proof: the
new sports steering wheel with its puristic
design and excellent ergonomics. More
proof: the ascending centre console. The
principle they share: putting the driver
first. The same applies to the suspension
settings and the two-zone air conditioning
system. There shouldn’t be any need to
spend too long browsing one submenu
after another. You should instead be able
to concentrate on what’s important:
driving pleasure.
Five round instruments make a sport y
contribution. Their primary purpose is to
provide information. They do so efficiently
and accurately. And their styling is
typically Porsche, with the rev counter
exactly where you would expect it to be:
in the middle. Technology to help you along the way is
integrated as standard: new Porsche
Communication Management (PCM)
including online navigation module plus
7-inch multi-touchscreen. Thanks to the
Connect Plus module, PCM is also your
gateway to the digital world.
The instrument cluster with 4.6-inch
colour screen provides you with a
continuous stream of data from the
on-board computer, such as trip
mileage, journey time or average fuel
consumption. It also displays the map
of the navigation system together
with real-time traffic information,
You can feel the Porsche tradition here.

And touch the future.
Interior.
delivers various warnings and reminds
you of your chosen communication and
audio set tings.
From pioneering technology to sporty
comfort. Whether it’s leather or Alcantara,
all the materials we use are exquisite
and puristic.
In addition to the choice of Agate Grey,
Black and Luxor Beige for the
interior, there is a wide range of other
personalisation options available,
including two-tone colour combinations
or special colours and materials such
as carbon, aluminium and high-quality
wood.

Comfort 81
Sports steering wheel.
Fit ted as standard, the sports steering
wheel with spoked design is light weight
and functional. The small centre pad and
the chrome ring encircling the Porsche
Crest – both derived from the steering
wheel of the 918 Spyder – reinforce its
sporty character.
In conjunction with PDK, the sports
steering wheel features two alloyed
gearshift paddles. The shift throw of the
paddles has been reduced, gearshifts
are even crisper. Available as an option
is the new GT sports steering wheel. This
has a smaller diameter. The decorative
ring and the paddles are finished in
Galvano Silver, while the spoke trims are
screw-fastened. For a motorsport-derived
design? Definitely. Above all, though, to
emulate a motorsport driving feel.
Heating and multifunction controls are optionally available for all steering wheels.
These give you fingertip access to the
colour display, the on-board computer
and many audio, telephone and navigation
functions.

Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing. It
comprises dimmable LEDs in the overhead
console and in the areas of the door
handles, door storage compartments,
front foot wells and rear seats.
Porsche Entry & Drive.
With the optional Porsche Entry & Drive,
you can leave your car key in your
pocket. As soon as you grab the door
handle, or your hand nears the Porsche
Crest on the luggage compartment lid, the system automatically checks the
encrypted access code on the key. Once
the key is validated, the door or the
luggage compartment lid unlocks. The
engine can then be started and switched
off using the electronic ignition switch.

Comfort 87
Adaptive cruise control including
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
Available as an option in conjunction
with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
this enhanced version of cruise control
actively regulates the speed of your
vehicle in line with the speed of the
vehicle in front. A radar sensor scans the
road ahead up to a distance of 200  m.
If Porsche Active Safe (PAS) detects that
your vehicle is approaching the vehicle in
front too quickly, the system issues an
audible and a visual warning. Where
necessary, this may be accompanied by
a brief jolt of the brakes and the initiation
of targeted braking. During this process,
any braking by the driver is boosted to
achieve the maximum braking force that
the system is able to provide. With the new 911, coasting is now
possible even while adaptive cruise
control is active.
Lane Change Assist.
New Lane Change Assist, available as an
option, uses radar sensors to monitor
the areas to the rear of the vehicle and
the blind spots on either side. Above a
speed of 9 mph, the system issues a
visual warning signal in the door mirror
panel whenever a vehicle rapidly
approaches your vehicle from behind

or enters one of your blind spots. In
this way, Lane Change Assist improves
comfort and safety, particularly on
motorways. However, the system does
not actively intervene to control the
vehicle and can be deactivated at any
time.
ParkAssist.
Featuring four inconspicuous sensors in
the rear end, the system audibly alerts
the driver to the presence of obstacles
detected behind the vehicle. An
intermittent warning tone increases in
rapidit y as the obstacle is approached.
ParkAssist can be optionally upgraded to
include monitoring of the front end with
four additional sensors. The audible alert
is supplemented by a visual warning in
the central display screen, which shows
a graphical representation of the vehicle
from overhead.
The optional reversing camera facilitates
precise reverse parking and manoeuvring.
Help is provided in the form of the camera

image and the dynamic, superimposed

guidelines on the PCM screen, which
illustrate the predicted course of the
vehicle given the current position of the
steering wheel.
Speed limit indicator.
The camera-based speed limit indicator
informs you of speed restrictions and
‘no overtaking’ zones (start and end).
Notifications appear on the display in the
instrument cluster and on the screen of
PCM.

Infotainment for a new generation:
enhanced Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) including online
navigation module with real-time traffic
information
is your control centre for
audio, navigation
and communication
functions – and it ’s standard in every
model.
PCM is operated by means of the new
7-inch multi-touchscreen or by voice
control. Alternatively, you can use the
conventional rotary pushbutton controls.
In response to hand movement, an
integral proximit y sensor activates the screen to display the relevant menu
contents, which you can then operate
easily using multi-touch gestures. With
its high-quality glass surface, PCM is the
aesthetically perfect addition to the
centre console.
Equally user-friendly is the new navigation
system – offering real-time traffic data.
Based on this information, roads in map
view are highlighted green, yellow or
red,
 depending on volume of traffic. In
addition, the traffic information is
continuously updated and, thanks to
dynamic route guidance, your journey is
adapted accordingly.
Another word for pioneering?
Trailblazing.
New Porsche Communication Management (PCM)
including online navigation module.

Comfort 89
Infotainment begins the moment you
connect and charge your iPod
® or hook
up any other audio source of your choice.
Simply use the iPod
® interface in the
centre console, or the universal audio
interface or AUX input in the glove
compartment.
Your iPod
® or USB stick can be operated
conveniently via PCM, the steering wheel
if specified with optional multifunction
controls, or by voice control. What’s more, the USB connection enables you to
download data from the performance
display of the optional Sport Chrono
Package or from the optional electronic
logbook.
For your personal music collection, the
CD/ DVD drive is supplemented by an
internal hard drive (‘jukebox’) and t wo SD
card readers. Once you have inserted a
card containing your audio files, you can
play them using the music player in PCM.
Mobile phone preparation.
With mobile phone preparation, a
Bluetooth® connection can be established
automatically with mobile phones that
support the Handsfree Profile (HFP), so
you can leave your mobile phone tucked
away. PCM enables you to operate the
phone’s basic functions. The GSM
connection is always established through
the aerial of the mobile phone.
Sound Package Plus.
Sound Package Plus, with eight
loudspeakers and a total output of
150 wat ts, delivers excellent sound. The
amplifier integrated into PCM optimally
adapts the acoustic pat tern in the vehicle
interior to the driver and front passenger.
New infotainment features:

– Porsche Communication Management (PCM) as standard, including online navigation module, mobile phone preparation,
voice control system and Sound Package Plus

– Connect Plus module as standard, including online navigation, Apple CarPlay™, telephone module and wireless Internet access

– Porsche Connect app for transferring destinations from your smartphone, e.g. from address or calendar entries

– Porsche Car Connect with Carfinder, Remote Vehicle Status, Remote Services and Porsche Vehicle Tracking System (PVTS)

Comfort 93
Porsche Connect app.
The Connect Plus module interacts with
the Connect app for your smartphone
(available free of charge from Apple
iTunes® and Google Play™ Store), enabling
you to easily transfer destinations stored
in the address book or calendar of your
smartphone to your vehicle. With the
music streaming function, you also have
access to millions of music tracks.
Porsche Car Connect.
Sports car driving has always relied on
the relationship between driver and
vehicle being as intimate as possible.
Thanks to Porsche Car Connect, this
relationship becomes even more intimate
– no mat ter how far from your Porsche
you might be. Porsche Car Connect offers a range of
useful functions for accessing your
Porsche remotely. Carfinder, for example,
displays the shortest route from your
current position to your car’s parked
location.
Thanks to Remote Vehicle Status, the
most important data from your 911
are
always available at a glance. For example,
you can call up your odometer reading
and fuel level or check whether the
windows and doors are open or closed.
Remote Services gives you fingertip
access to a range of statistics recorded
by your car, including distance covered,
average speed and fuel consumed during
the last drive. Particularly practical: using Porsche Car
Connect, you can make a breakdown call
at any time from any location. You can
even check the status of the alarm
system whenever you want, wherever
you are. Your smartphone can also be
used to control door locking and folding
of the optional electric exterior mirrors.
Another feature of Porsche Car Connect
is the Porsche Vehicle Tracking System
Plus (PV TS Plus), enabling remote
location of a stolen vehicle.
