PORSCHE 911 2014 6.G Information Manual

8081
To see something coming, experience helps.
So does forward-looking technology.

Lights.
Composure | Safet y
The 911 Carrera models are equipped as
standard with Bi-Xenon headlights
including a headlight cleaning system
and dynamic range control. The LED
front light units incorporate indicators,
day time running lights and position
lights. Automatic headlight activation is
also included as standard.
Cut ting edge LED technology is also
used for the taillights, the high-level third
brake light, the licence plate illumination,
the rear direction indicators, the rear fog
light and – on all-wheel- drive models –
the rear light strip. LEDs provide bet ter
illumination and respond more quickly
to driver input.
In the event of sudden braking, the adap -
tive LED brake lights begin to pulsate.
If the vehicle is braked to a halt, the
hazard warning lights will switch on
automatically. The lighting system
fea tures an automatic switch-
off and

the ‘Welcome Home’ function.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS) is available as an option. Its
dynamic cornering light function swivels
the headlights towards the inside of a
bend, based on steering angle and road
speed, in order to illuminate more of the
road at tight bends and turns. Put simply,
the road ahead is illuminated the moment
you enter a bend. Speed -sensitive head-
light range control is also part of the
PDLS as is the adverse weather function.
LED main headlights with Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS +
).

Superior safet y meets sport y design in
the form of the LED main headlights with
PDLS+ which are available as optional
equipment. Integrated into each headlight
housing are four LED spots for the
day time running lights, and one LED light
ring. In addition to being efficient and
long-lasting, LED technology also creates
a light very similar to daylight and thus
helps to reduce driver fatigue. One special feature of PDLS+ is the
dynamic main beam function. A camera
detects the lights of vehicles ahead
as well as those of oncoming traffic.
Based on the data from the camera, the
dynam
ic main beam function then adapts
the headlight range accordingly. This continu
ous, stepless control means that
you are able to see the course of the
road, pedestrians and potential hazards
earlier without hindering other road
users.

Our identity is found under the bonnet,
in the design and behind the steering wheel.

Comfort.
Driving a 911 is first and foremost
about the feel of the road in the original,
unadulterated and direct sense. Is it
possible, then, to mention the 911 and
comfort in the same breath? To speak
of systems that make driving ‘more
agreeable’, or of materials that feel
‘pleasant ’ to the touch? Good question.
In reality, however, should anyone really
be forced to choose one over the other?
Let ’s introduce ourselves to the concept
of sport y comfort – dynamic performance
that maintains composure even when
pushed to the extreme.
Interior.
Engineering and st yle – and Porsche
identit y on the inside, as demonstrated
by the ascending centre console. In
t ypical Porsche fashion, the use of form
follows a basic principle: focus on the
driver. This is why the distance bet ween
the gear lever or selector and steering
wheel is extremely short and the operat -
ing logic, such as that of the t wo -zone
air conditioning system or the suspension
settings, is clear and uncomplicated.
You shouldn’t have to browse one sub -
menu after another. You should instead
be able to concentrate on what ’s
important: the road. Our materials are high- qualit y with a
sporty character. The steering wheel rim,
door pulls and armrests are in leather,
for instance. Alcantara has proven its
worth in motorsport and is used as
standard for the roof lining of the Coupé
models.
In addition to the choice of Black,
Platinum Grey, Luxor Beige and Yachting
Blue 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
or high - qualit y wood.

Engineering that takes you forward:
optional Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with navigation
module and a high-resolution 7-inch
colour touchscreen. PCM is your control
centre for audio, navigation and
communication functions.Instruments.
Sport y not kitsch, practical not fanciful.
The five round instruments have one
purpose above all: to provide information.
They do so efficiently and accurately.
Their st yling is t ypically Porsche with the
rev counter exactly where you would
expect it to be: in the middle.
Another element of the Porsche identit y
is sound. Fit ted as standard, the
CDR audio system with 7-inch colour
touchscreen and the Sound Package Plus
offer outstanding performance with a
total output of 235 wat ts. Available as an
option is the BOSE
® Surround Sound
System with a total output of 445 wat ts.
In short, it delivers powerful audio playback combined with an impressive
spatial sound.

No system promises such high standards
in the 911, and fulfils them, as the
optional High-End Surround Sound
System from Burmester®, the bespoke
manufacturer based in Berlin and one of
the most respected premium audio
manufacturers worldwide. With a total output of 821
wat ts, it ensures an
incredible audio experience.
Our patented integral subwoofer enhances
the bass performance of both optional
sound systems and also saves weight.
Typically Porsche.
Ergonomics, st yle and sound. Sports car
technology, intelligently combined. The instrument cluster with a high-
resolution 4.6-inch TFT 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
navigation system map, delivers various
warnings, including alerts from the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system and,
in 911 Carrera 4 models, tells you
the current front /rear axle torque
distribution. You can also use it to
personalise various in-car settings.

SportDesign steering wheel
SportDesign steering wheel with gearshif t paddles
Sports steering wheel
In the 911, there is a point at which all
forces come together. The steering wheel
is the most important interface bet ween
the driver and the sports car. This is
why all available steering wheels feature
a high -grip steering wheel rim in smooth -
finish leather and offer outstanding
ergonomics. A full
-size airbag is integrated
as standard.
SportDesign steering wheel.
As with the sports steering wheel, the
optional SportDesign steering wheel
is adjustable for both height and reach
and, thanks to its grip mouldings, it ’s in
safe hands – even on the sportiest of
drives.
Sports steering wheel.
The sports steering wheel is fit ted as
standard and adjusts up to 40 mm for
height and up to 60 mm for reach.
The optional multifunction steering
wheel has four function but tons and t wo
thumbwheels for convenient operation of audio, telephone and navigation
functions, TFT display and on
board
computer. On request, the steering
wheel is available in smooth-
finish
leather, carbon or mahogany.
In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheels are equipped with t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches enabling you to change gear directly from the steering
wheel. With the optional Sport Chrono Package, the steering wheel also features
a display above the airbag module
to inform you whether the SPORT,
SPORT PLUS and Launch Control
functions have been activated.
In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheel features t wo gearshift paddles.
These are made from a strong alloy and
are ergonomically located behind the
left- and right -hand steering wheel
spokes. Pull the right
-hand paddle and
PDK shifts up. Pull the left-hand paddle and PDK shifts down. When PDK has
been combined with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, the left-
and right -hand
spokes additionally feature a display
that tells you whether the SPORT,
SPORT PLUS and Launch Control
functions have been activated.
Steering wheel heating.
For increased comfort on cold days,
steering wheel heating is available as
an option for the sports steering wheel
and multifunction steering wheels. The
heating is operated by a but ton on the
rear of the lower steering wheel spoke.

Sports seats.
The Sports seats in partial leather are
comfortable and provide support even
during performance driving. They are
equipped as standard with electric seat
height and backrest adjustment and
mechanical fore/aft adjustment.
Fully electric Sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness
for comfort, the optional fully electric
Sports seats offer electric adjustment
of seat height, backrest angle, squab
angle, squab depth, fore/aft position,
four-way lumbar support and even the
steering column.
The integrated memory package
supports the exterior mirrors and all seat
positions on the driver’s side as well as,
for example, the set tings for the steering
wheel, lights, wipers, air conditioning,
door locks, optional PCM, and instrument
c l u s t e r.
Sports seats Plus.
Available as an option are Sports seats
Plus in leather with electric seat height
and backrest adjustment as well as
mechanical fore/aft adjustment. The side
bolsters on the squab and backrest
have firmer, sportier padding and offer
even better lateral support.
Adaptive Sports seats Plus.
The optional adaptive Sports seats Plus
are the ideal combination of sport
and comfort. Finished in leather and
with side bolsters having a firm, sport y
padding, they also feature shoulder
supports for the best possible hold.
Offering 18-way electric adjustment,
the seats can be optimally adapted to
meet your needs in terms of seat height,
squab and backrest angle, squab length,
fore/aft adjustment and four-way lumbar
support. The steering column is also
electrically adjustable. In addition, the side bolsters on the seat
squab and backrest are independently
adjustable for added comfort on long
journeys and precision lateral support on
winding roads. Also included is the
personal memory for all seat positions
(apart from the side bolsters) and lumbar
support on the driver’s side as well as

the positions of the steering wheel and exterior mirrors. The memory function
also supports various set tings, such as
for the lights, wipers, air conditioning,
door locks, optional PCM, and instrument
c l u s t e r.

The ideal basis for any relationship:
Support as well as freedom.

Seating.Sports bucket seats.1)
Sports bucket seats featuring a folding
backrest, integral thorax airbag and
manual fore/aft adjustment are available
as optional equipment. The seat shells
are made from glass and carbon-fibre
reinforced plastic (CFRP) with a carbon
surface finish.
Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,
the backrest and, for the front seats, the
side bolsters.
In conjunction with seat heating, we
can equip the seats (except for the
Sports bucket seats) with seat ventilation
on request. A slipstream effect is
pro duced by active ventilation of the
perfo
rated seat centre and backrest

and by passive aeration at the side
bolsters. This evaporates perspiration moisture and therefore makes for a dry
and pleas
ant seating environment, even
in hot weather.
Rear seats.
The rear seats are remarkably
comfortable for a sports car and the
shelf behind offers additional storage
space. With the backrests folded down,
the luggage compartment volume in
the 911 Carrera Coupé models increases
to 260 litres and, with a capacit y of
160 litres, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet
models offer plent y of space for luggage,
too.
Child seats.1)
ISOFIX child seat preparation including
top tether is available on the rear seats
as standard. On request, we can equip
the front passenger seat with ISOFIX child
seat preparation and integrate an airbag
deactivation feature.

Climate control.
The 911 models feature t wo -zone
automatic climate control as standard
with an enhanced ventilation effect and
separate temperature controls for the
driver and front passenger. The available
air conditioning modes are gentle,
normal and strong.
An active carbon filter traps particles,
pollen and odours and an automatic
air-recirculation function permanently
monitors air quality, reduces humidity
and switches from fresh to recirculated
air when required. A demister function
keeps the windows clear in cold weather. In warmer weather, a solar sensor helps
the climate control
to detect strong
sunlight and automatically
compensate
for the comfort of both the driver and
front passenger.
HomeLink® (programmable garage
door opener).
As an option, it is possible to have
a programmable garage door opener
integrated into the overhead console.
At the push of a but ton, it controls up
to three different garage doors, lighting
systems or alarm systems.
Many things have practical qualities.
Even more have a sporty function.
And some are just extremely convenient.

Additional comfort and convenience features.
Cruise control.
This automatic speed control function is
available as an option. For greater driver
comfort on long stretches of road, cruise
control operates in the 30 –240 km/ h
speed range and is activated using a but -
ton on the steering column control stalk.

Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing.
It comprises dimmable LEDs in the over -
head console and in the areas of the
door pulls, door storage compartments,
front foot wells and rear seats.
‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
For convenience, particularly at night,
the ‘Welcome Home’ lighting function
automatically switches on the LED day -
time running lights for a defined period
whenever the vehicle is opened or
closed using the key remote.
A customisable delayed switch- off timer
keeps the day time running lights, the
taillights and, where applicable, the
courtesy lights switched on until you
reach your front door.
Adaptive cruise control with Porsche
Active Safe (PAS).
Available as an option, this cruise control
function regulates your speed according
to the distance bet ween your vehicle and
the vehicle in front. A radar sensor moni -
tors the road ahead up to a distance of
200 m. If you have set a cruising speed
but have begun to gain on the vehicle in front because it is driving more slowly,
this is detected by the radar sensor.
The system now reduces the speed

of your vehicle at a maximum rate of
3.5 m/sec
2 by restricting the throt tle
or by applying the brakes appropriate
to the prevailing situation until the dis -
tance that you have preset is maintained.
Your vehicle will now continue at a reduced speed. If the other vehicle

decelerates further, adaptive cruise
control will continue to reduce your
cruising speed – even down to a halt. For additional safet y, if the system detects
that the distance from the vehicle in front
is decreasing, it will also prepare your
vehicle for braking by precharging the
braking system so that the brake pads are already in light contact with the
brake discs. However, drivers still have
to perform heavier braking themselves.
As soon as the road ahead clears again,
your vehicle will accelerate back up to
the cruising speed originally set.
If your vehicle approaches the vehicle
in front too quickly, Porsche Active Safe
(PAS) will issue audible and visual warn
-
ings. In addition, the system briefly jerks
the brakes and if necessary initiates
target braking, with any braking pressure
applied by the driver being increased
within certain system limits.

ParkAssist (front and rear).
An enhanced version of Park Assist, with
four sensors in the front end, is available
as an option. The audible alert is
supplemented by a visual warning in the
central display screen, which shows a
graphical representation of the vehicle
from overhead.
ParkAssist.
Park Assist is fit ted as standard in
t h e 911 Carrera Cabriolet models and
is available as an option for the
9 11 Carrera Coupé models. Featuring
four inconspicuous sensors in the rear
end, the system audibly alerts the driver
to the presence of obstacles detected
behind the vehicle. An intermit tent
warning tone increases in rapidity as the
obstacle is approached.
Reversing camera.
The optional reversing camera (only in
conjunction with ParkAssist (front and
rear), and with CDR Plus audio system or
PCM) facilitates precise reverse parking
and manoeuvring. Help is provided in the
form of the camera image and the
dynamic, superimposed guidelines on the
central display screen, which illustrate
the predicted course of the vehicle given
the current position of the steering
wheel.
Exterior mirrors and rear-view mirror.
Electrically adjustable exterior mirrors
are fitted as standard. Electrically folding
exterior mirrors with courtesy lighting
on both sides of the vehicle are available
as an option. By illuminating the area
in front of the doors, they make it easier
to find your way in the dark. An auto -
dimming function for the rear-view mirror
and exterior mirrors, with an integrated
rain sensor for the windscreen wipers,
is available as an option.
Slide/tilt sunroof.
The electrically adjustable slide/tilt
sunroof is available as an option for all
911 Carrera Coupé models. It opens
out wards so that it does not interfere
with headroom. Another advantage of
this special design is the large aperture
for increased driving pleasure under the
open sky. The t wo -position net-t ype wind
deflector protects against draught and
further reduces wind noise.
Glass slide/tilt sunroof.
The electrically adjustable slide/tilt sun -
roof is also available in tinted single -
glazed safet y glass. An integral electric
sunblind provides shade from unwanted
bright light. It is available in five different
colours. The design, headroom and aper -
ture of the glass roof are identical to
those of the regular slide/tilt sunroof. The
only difference is that, even when closed,
the glass sunroof still gives you that
open- to- the- sky feeling.

models, the aluminium roof transport
system is aerodynamically efficient, very
light weight and easy to fit. A range of
at tachments is available, such as a roof
box, a bike carrier or a ski/snowboard
carrier. Maximum roof load is 75 kg.
Anti-theft protection.
All 911 Carrera models are equipped as
standard with an immobiliser with in-key
transponder and an alarm system with
radar-based interior surveillance. The
