2015 PORSCHE MACAN ABS

Macan principle28 | Life, intensified
For fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.
Fitted as standard, 7-speed Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK) lets you experience
motorspor t-st yle gear changes, which
take place in milliseconds and with no
interruption in the flow of power. The
system also features a coasting mode,
which reduces fuel consumption and
emissions where the driving situation
allows. To this end, the auto start /stop
function, intelligent thermal management
and many more efficiency-enhancing
measures make a decisive contribution.
The steel spring suspension, fit ted as
standard, helps to provide the driving
precision and performance t ypical of any
Porsche. As an option (standard in the
Macan Turbo), it can be upgraded to
include optional Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM). At the
push of a but ton, the shock absorbers
respond even more precisely to the
current driving st yle. An air suspension is
available for even greater dynamic
performance and a high level of ride
comfort. With this suspension, the Macan
sits 15 mm lower. The three-position
ride-height adjustment capability enables you to adapt it optimally to the driving
situation.
Optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PT V Plus) lets you feel the Macan
principle in every corner – and in a
particularly intense way. Operating in
conjunction with an electronically
controlled rear differential lock, the
system works by varying the torque
distribution to the rear wheels and
thereby significantly further improves
handling and steering precision. It also
increases the agilit y of the car when it
attacks the corner.
Naturally, active safet y also follows the
Macan principle – and, in doing so, fulfils
the requirements of a sports car.
Integrated as standard, Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) helps to ensure
stabilit y at the limits of sport y
performance. Typically Porsche, the
brakes set standards for deceleration.
Optional driver assistance systems
relieve your workload so that you can
have more fun. Adaptive cruise control including Porsche Active Safe (PAS)
regulates the speed of your vehicle in
line with the speed of the vehicle in
front. Lane Change Assist monitors your
blind spots, while Lane Keeping Assist
monitors your car’s distance to divider
line markings on the road.
Intensive living can also be measured in
bits and by tes, with Porsche Car
Connect for instance. Available as an
option, our comprehensive packages of
remote and PV TS (Porsche Vehicle
Tracking System) services provide you
with all the important information about
your Macan – not only when you’re
behind the wheel. Other digital
functionalities of the Macan include the
abilit y to log into social net works or
search for a Point of Interest and then
select it directly as your navigation
destination. Being highly net worked –
that, too, can be the principle of a
s p o r t s c a r.
So you see: for us, staying true to one’s
principles is essential. The principle of
power above all.

You aren’t usually so quick to brake.
Brakes.
At Porsche, we also set ourselves high
standards for braking performance. So it
goes without saying that our brake
systems are super-sized and adapted to
the high power output of the engine.
At the front, the Macan models are
equipped with six-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed brake calipers. The brake
discs are internally vented for consistently
high braking power, even during
continuous use.
To cope with the performance capabilit y
of the Macan models, the brake discs
fit ted to the front axle are up to 360 mm
in diameter. The brake calipers of the Macan S Diesel
and Macan S are silver- coloured. On the
Macan Turbo – red.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
As an option, you can have your Macan
equipped with the track-proven Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).
The cross- drilled ceramic brake discs
have a diameter of 396 mm at the front
axle and a thickness of 38 mm. At the
rear, they are 370 mm in diameter and
30 mm thick.
Their low thermal expansion prevents
deformation under heavy braking.
Furthermore, the ceramic brake discs are
totally resistant to corrosion and offer more favourable noise-damping
properties.
The key advantage is that the brake
discs are approximately 50
% lighter than
standard discs of similar design and size.
Enhanced performance and fuel economy
are not the only noticeable benefits:
above all, it represents a major reduction
in unsprung and rotating masses. The
results are improved handling, bet ter
roadholding and increased ride comfort.
Optional for all Macan models.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM is an electronic control system that
maintains stability – and increases
driving safet y – even at the limits of
sporty performance. Sensors continuously monitor driving
direction, speed, yaw velocit y and lateral
acceleration. PSM
actively intervenes to
stabilise the vehicle when necessary by
strategically applying the brakes at
individual wheels. That ’s not all. If the
driver suddenly releases the accelerator
pedal, PSM primes the brake system for
a higher state of readiness. Maximum
braking power is therefore achieved
much sooner. The integral anti-lock
braking system (ABS) is optimised for
short braking distances.
Standard in all Macan models.

Efficiency.
The basic premise of any Porsche is
power. It ’s been that way ever since
1948. But there has always been another
principle: efficiency. Again, since 1948.
We remain commit ted to both, and we
always will.
In addition to our pursuit of efficient
engine technologies, such as the
turbochargers used across the model
range, we routinely rely on innovative,
lightweight materials, we are constantly
developing our production techniques
and functionalities and, as we do so, we
are continuously refining our concepts.
How does this benefit you as the driver?
Greater agilit y with increased dynamic
performance – and lower fuel
consumption. Now that’s efficiency.
Exhaust emissions.
The Macan once again demonstrates that
even high-performance sports cars can
achieve comparatively moderate
emission values. The state-of-the-art
engines of the Macan model range reach
their optimum operating temperature
soon after start-up, thanks to the rapid
heating of the catalytic converter
system. Emissions are thereby reduced,
while t yres optimised for low rolling
resistance play their part by lowering fuel
consumption. All models in the Macan
range fulfil the Euro 6 emission standard.
The petrol models are equipped with
stereo Lambda control circuits. These
are used by the electronic engine
management system to determine the
optimum amount of fuel for effective
emission control.

Living for today, in the here and now.
But always caring about tomorrow.

Environment.
Emission control in the Macan S Diesel is
realised by the interaction of a diesel
particulate filter and the SCR system.
AdBlue
® technology helps to achieve a
significant reduction in nitrogen oxide
emissions.
Fuel and fuel consumption.
Doing more with comparatively less –
another philosophy that the Macan
models live and breathe. The petrol
models are designed to operate on fuels
with an ethanol content of up to 10%.
Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO
2
balance because this biofuel is
manufactured from plants, which absorb
CO
2 from the atmosphere in order to
grow.
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.
