2015 PORSCHE MACAN ignition

Macan design22 | Life, intensified
True beauty is more than just skin deep.

Interior design.
As a creator of sports cars, we know
that driver and car must form a single
entit y. As such, you do not simply sit in
the Macan – the ergonomic architecture
integrates you into the vehicle. The three-
dimensional arrangement of the controls
lends the interior a cockpit-st yle layout.
In t ypical Macan fashion, the sport y front
seats convey a sense of height above the
road without any loss of intimacy with it.
The essentials are seen at a glance.
The instrument panel has a three-tube
design. Three tubes – just like in a
classic sports car. Also in view is the centrally positioned rev counter. To the
right is the 4.8-inch colour screen, which,
among other things, displays information
from the on-board computer.

Thanks to the ascending centre console
– a t ypical feature of a sports car – you
don’t have very far to reach from the
steering wheel to the PDK gear selector
and most important vehicle functions.
The ignition lock, as ever, is on the left
– typically Porsche.

Fuel system.
In the petrol models, even the emissions
of the fuel system itself are minimised
for the protection of the environment.
Evaporative emissions are significantly
reduced by the returnless supply system.
Vapour-carrying lines are made from
multi-layered plastic, while a high- capacit y
active carbon filter and the fuel tank also
feature a multi-layered construction in
order to make every thing as impermeable
as possible.
Noise reduction.
The characteristic Porsche sound may
drive our passion, but acoustics is yet
another area in which we continuously
strive for optimisation.
Stiff components and light weight,
temperature-stable materials minimise
play bet ween parts and therefore
mechanical noise. Voluminous silencers
and air induction systems reduce noise
levels further – and that ’s over the
course of the entire service life. In collaboration with t yre manufacturers,
we are managing to reduce the rolling
noise of t yres, while aerodynamic
refinements keep wind noise as low as
possible. What ’s left? The Porsche sound,
pure and simple.
Servicing.
Long-life and hard-wearing materials
reduce maintenance items to a minimum.
At the time of an oil filter change, for
example, only the recycling-friendly
paper insert needs to be exchanged and
not the entire housing.
Moving parts are adjusted automatically,
e.g. by hydraulic valve clearance
compensation.
The use of individual ignition coils in
petrol engines makes the entire ignition
system, except for the spark plugs, wear-
and maintenance-free. Advantage for
you? If it doesn’t need replacing, it
doesn’t need to be disposed of. Not only
does this support the responsible
handling of resources and a caring
at titude towards the environment, it
saves you time and money.
The maintenance intervals of the Macan
models nevertheless depend on various
factors, including the local fuel grade.
For exact information, please refer to the
price list published in your country or
consult your Porsche Centre.
Materials and recycling.
A Porsche is a source of long-lasting
pleasure for our customers and a
refreshing change for their environment.
This Porsche principle can be summed
up in one word: sustainability.
Here’s just one example: the exhaust
system of the Macan models is made
from extremely corrosion-resistant
stainless steel – and purposefully
manufactured on the principles of
lightweight construction. In addition, our cars are free from CFCs and parts
manufactured with the use of CFCs. In
all, they are over 95
% recoverable.
Naturally, all statutory recycling
requirements are fulfilled. The labelling of
materials facilitates future sorting for
excellent recycling.
On the subject of recycling, there is
plent y of time before it is even needed.
Two -thirds of all Porsche cars ever built
are still being driven today. What bet ter
way to conserve resources?

Interior architecture.
Five doors. Five seats. Excellent everyday
practicality
– and an elevated seating
position. That ’s what you can expect of
an SUV. Now let ’s consider what you
can expect of a Porsche: sports car
sensations.
You get in – and find the ignition lock on
the left. It ’s t ypically Porsche, and has
been since 1948. An old motorsport
tradition.
The interior architecture integrates you
perfectly into the vehicle. This is
exemplified by the three-dimensional
arrangement of the controls and the
ascending centre console with control
but tons for the most important comfort
functions. The layout emulates that of
the Carrera GT – it ’s as if you’re sit ting
in a sports car. The Macan is the first ever Porsche to be
equipped with the multifunction sports
steering wheel with 918 Spyder design.
Its appearance is futuristic and its design
highly ergonomic. Gearshift paddles as
well as multifunction but tons for
telephone, radio and on-board computer
offer high levels of user comfort.
Steering wheel heating is available as an
option.
Sports car genes are also inherent in the
three round instruments. The rev counter
is positioned in the centre, exactly where
it belongs in a sports car. In this way,
you can see all the essentials at a glance
when you’re on the move – and keep up
to speed with all relevant information.
Lean back? Yes.

Put your feet up? No.

Comfort.

Comfort lighting package.
The comfort lighting package comprises
dimmable ambient lighting in the door
trims, LED lights in place of bulbs,
practical LED reading lights for the rear
passengers, t wo vanit y lights, additional
courtesy lighting in both exterior mirrors
and LED illumination of the foot wells.
Optional for all Macan models.
Roll-up sunblind.
To protect against sunlight, a mechanical
roll-up sunblind is optionally available for
the rear side windows.
Optional for all Macan models.
Rain sensor.
The windscreen wiper system has three
wiper speeds and a rain sensor for
automatic operation.
Standard in all Macan models.
Porsche Entry & Drive.
Porsche Entry & Drive is designed to
minimise key use.
As soon as you touch the door handle,
Porsche Entry & Drive checks the
encrypted access code on the key in
your pocket. Once the key is validated,
the door unlocks. The engine can then be
started and switched off using the
ignition key in the normal way.
To lock the vehicle, you simply touch the
sensor on the outside of the door handle.
Porsche Entry & Drive then locks the
vehicle and simultaneously activates the
engine immobiliser.
Optional for all Macan models.
Anti-theft protection.
All Macan models are equipped with an
engine immobiliser. It works in response
to an automatic exchange of data
bet ween the key and vehicle electronics.
On correct identification, the engine start
will be authorised by the engine
electronics.
Every Macan model is also protected by
an alarm system. On request, this can be
upgraded to include ultrasonic interior
surveillance. The security system
monitors all four doors, the bonnet, the
entire rear hatch, the interior, the ignition
and any trailer that you have hitched to
the car.
