2015 PORSCHE MACAN cluster

Chassis58 | DynamicsChassisDynamics | 59
The wheel was invented 5,000 years ago.
Seems only now it’s hitting the big time.
Mixed tyres.
As with any genuine sports car, the
Macan is equipped with wider t yres at
the rear – just like the 911. The visual
impact is not the only effect: the larger
footprint at the rear improves both
stabilit y and traction and also enhances
agilit y for intensified contact with the
road.
Wheels.
For the wheels, too, every thing revolves
around sport y performance – and st yle.
Accordingly, the Macan serves up some
impressive numbers: the wheels look
exceptionally large, with optional sizes up
to 21 inches.
What they all have in common is their
aluminium construction, which saves weight and increases agilit y. That ’s
particularly true of the forged 21-inch
wheels.
The Macan S and Macan S Diesel

are equipped, as standard, with 18-inch
Macan S wheels. The Macan Turbo is
fit ted with 19-inch Macan Turbo wheels

as standard.
Ty r e s .
All t yres have been optimised for driving
performance, handling, rolling resistance
and weight. The rubber compound, tread
pat tern and the carcass architecture have
been designed for the least rolling
resistance possible in order to reduce
fuel consumption.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM).
Tyre Pressure Monitoring sends warnings
to the on-board computer’s display
screen in the event of low t yre pressure
or a gradual or sudden loss of pressure.
The multifunction display in the
instrument cluster gives you a quick and
convenient way to check your t yre
pressures.

Airbags.
All Macan models are equipped, as
standard, with full-size airbags for the
driver and front passenger. These are
supplemented by the Porsche Side
Impact Protection System (POSIP).
It comprises side airbags in the front
seats, curtain airbags along the entire
roof frame and the side windows from
the A-pillar to the C-pillar, and side
impact protection elements in the doors.
Side airbags are available as an option
for the rear compartment.
Two auxiliary sensors in the bumper help
to detect frontal collisions. A cluster of
acceleration and yaw rate sensors
detects a threat of rollover and triggers
the curtain airbags and seat belt
pretensioners.
Engineered body design.
The use of ultra- and super-high-strength
steels makes a crucial contribution to
safet y and, at the same time, purposefully
encapsulates the principle of lightweight
construction.
The forces exerted in the event of a
frontal impact are dispersed by a system
of longitudinal and transverse members.
Reinforcements in ultra-high-strength
steel provide additional protection for
occupants in the event of a side impact.
The concept also sees the use of
multiphase steels. High strength and
clearly defined deformability are two
qualities that they have in common. The
passenger cell is a cage formed of high-
tech steels and offers a considerable
level of protection.

Sports seats
Take the high-resolution 4.8-inch colour
screen in the instrument cluster as an
example. It displays messages from the
on-board computer and – in conjunction
with PCM – shows the map of the
navigation system.
The seats offer racing-st yle support and
a high degree of seating comfort. In cars
with the driver memory package or
comfort memory package, you can store
personalised seat, steering wheel and
exterior mirror settings. Your car will
then adapt automatically to you.
Standard on-board features include two-
zone automatic climate control as well as
remote central locking with remote
closing.
On principle, all controls are
ergonomically arranged for the speedy
control of desired functions. Practicalit y is also assured by storage
solutions in the front and rear doors.
Even large bot tles are accommodated.
The large luggage compartment offers
a loading capacit y of 500 litres. The
rear bench seat has a split-folding ratio
of 40 : 20 : 40. With the seats fully
folded, available capacity increases to
1,5 0 0 l i tr e s .
The use of exquisite materials such as
leather brings exclusivit y to ordinary life.
The standard specification includes a
leather steering wheel rim and seat
centres in Alcantara – in the Macan Turbo,
the adaptive Sports seats with 18-way
adjustment are completely upholstered
in leather. On request, you can refine
even more interior features of your
Macan with leather, wood, carbon or
aluminium.

Our contribution to the information age:
acceleration.
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM).
PCM is your central information and
communication system. It is powerful and
multifunctional, yet easy to operate.
The focal point is the 7-inch colour
touchscreen. The radio features
42 memory presets and an FM t win
tuner. The optional universal audio
interface allows you to save up to 5,000
MP3 files on the 40 GB internal hard
drive of PCM for direct playback. Also
available as an option are a T V tuner for
receiving free-to-air television broadcasts
and a digital radio enabling you to listen
to digital radio stations. The CD/ DVD
drive supports the following formats:
CDs, MP3 files and audio DVDs.
Integrated into PCM, the optional CD/ DVD
autochanger holds up to six CDs or
DVDs. The navigation module with high-speed
hard drive displays maps in 2D or from a
driving perspective. Even 3D rendering is
available in some regions. The route
guidance calculation takes into
consideration official traffic messages
(TMC) and data from traffic flow sensors
(TMC Pro)
1). In addition, speed limits
stored in the navigation database are
displayed in PCM and on the TFT screen
of the instrument cluster. In conjunction
with optional online services, it is
possible to find online destinations and
conveniently transfer them to the
navigation system.
Standard in the Macan Turbo. Optional for
all other Macan models.
Telephone module.
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. With a SIM card inserted
directly into PCM’s integral SIM card
reader, calls can be made using the
hands-free facility. For even more
convenience, the Bluetooth
® capability of
a mobile phone can be used to make
calls via the SIM Access Profile (SAP).
Once the Bluetooth
® connection has
been established, the mobile phone’s
aerial is switched off to conserve bat tery
charge and the phone operates via the
car aerial. Depending on the mobile
phone model, this gives access not only
to the numbers on the SIM card, but also
to the phone’s internal memory.
Depending on the phone, it can also be
controlled using PCM, the multifunction
sports steering wheel or the voice
control system.

The telephone module enables you to
establish a Bluetooth
® link with those
mobile phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP).
On request, a Bluetooth
® handset for the
telephone module is also available.
Stored in the centre console, it features
a display and keypad. However, the
handset cannot be used for Bluetooth
®
links established using the Handsfree
Profile (HFP).
Optional for all Macan models.

Speed limit indicator
Park Assist with Surround View
Speed limit indicator.
The speed limit indicator informs you of
speed restrictions and the start and end
of no overtaking zones detected by the
integral camera.
The information is shown on the TFT
screen in the instrument cluster and on
the screen of PCM. If a road sign is
missed – for example due to heav y rain
or darkness – the speed limit stored in
the navigation module is automatically
displayed.
The benefit of this function is that it
allows you to concentrate bet ter on the
road ahead.
Optional for all Macan models.
ParkAssist.
Park Assist warns you of obstacles
detected to the front and rear of the
vehicle. Its sensors are integrated
harmoniously into the front and rear end.
The audible alert is supplemented by a
bird’s eye graphical representation of the
vehicle on the central display screen
showing the proximity to these
obstacles.
Optional for all Macan models.
Reversing camera.
The reversing camera facilitates precise
reverse parking and manoeuvring and
also assists in hitching a trailer. 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.
Optional for all Macan models.
Surround View.
With Surround View, four cameras
located in the front end, exterior mirrors
and rear generate an all-round image of
the car and its immediate surroundings.
In PCM, the driver can choose bet ween a
bird’s eye view, side view and corner
v iew.
Optional for all Macan models.
