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
front luggage compartment lid or the logos
on the rear, 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.
Climate control.
An optional alternative to the air
conditioning
system, two-zone automatic
climate control has separate temperature
controls for the driver and front passenger
and offers a choice of three climate
setting profiles.
Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing. It
comprises dimmable LEDs in various
parts of the interior.
GT sports steering wheel.
The new, optional GT sports steering
wheel has a smaller diameter. The spokes
are finished in black, while the spoke
trims are in Galvano Silver and are screw-
fastened. For a motorsport-derived look?
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
4.6-inch colour display and therefore the
on-board computer as well as many audio,
telephone and navigation functions.
Sports steering wheel.
The sports steering wheel with three-
spoke design is lightweight 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 sport y
character.
In conjunction with PDK, the sports
steering wheel features two alloyed
gearshift paddles offering particularly
short shift throws.

2 Speed limit indicator
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 optional camera-based speed limit
indicator informs you of speed restrictions
and ‘no overtaking’ zones (start and end).
Notifications appear on the display in the

at any time.
ParkAssist and reversing camera.
Featuring four inconspicuous sensors in
the rear end, optional ParkAssist audibly
alerts the driver to the presence of
obstacles detected behind the vehicle. An
intermittent warning tone increases in
rapidity as the obstacle is approached.
Option: ParkAssist upgrade 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.
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.
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 15 km/h, 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 safet y,
particularly on motorways. However, the
system does not actively intervene to
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. In addition, coasting
is now possible even while adaptive cruise
control is active.
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
Team play.
Even without a passenger.
