Electric parking brake.
The new electric parking brake, which
you can activate and deactivate manually,
releases automatically as you pull away.
With the hill-hold function, you can

pull away without ever rolling back.
The system automatically detects when
the vehicle has come to a halt on an
uphill gradient requiring intervention.
PSM then maintains the brake pressure
at all four wheels for a brief period to
prevent the vehicle from moving in the
opposite direction.
Airbags.
The new 911 models offer advanced
airbag technology in the form of full-size
driver and front passenger airbags, which
are inflated in t wo stages depending
on the severit y and t ype of accident (e.g.
frontal or offset frontal). In less serious
accidents, the airbags are only partially
inflated, thereby minimising discomfort to
the occupants.
In addition to the central airbag control
unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair
of impact sensors are located near the
headlights. This allows a crash to be
detected and evaluated far sooner and
with considerably greater accuracy.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
The 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S are
equipped as standard with the Porsche
Side Impact Protection System (POSIP).
It comprises side impact protection
elements in the doors and t wo airbags on each side. An integral thorax airbag

is located in the seat backrests, while the
door panels each contain an upwards-
inflating head airbag. Each thorax airbag
has a volume of 10 litres and each head
airbag 15 litres, ensuring excellent
protection in the event of a side impact.

In the 911, there is a point at which all
forces come together. The steering wheel
is the most important inter face bet ween
the driver and the sportscar. 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 st a n d a rd .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,
Aluminium Look, carbon or macassar. 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

the steering wheel, lights, wipers, air
conditioning, door locks, optional PCM,
and instrument cluster.

Sports seats Plus.

Seating.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 with seat ventilation on
request. A slipstream effect is produced
by active ventilation of the perforated
seat centre and backrest and by passive
aeration at the side bolsters. This evapo -
rates perspiration moisture and therefore
makes for a dry and pleasant seating
environment, even in hot weather.
Rear seats.
The rear seats are remarkably comfortable
for a sportscar and the shelf behind
offers additional storage space. The back -
rests fold as standard to offer a generous
205 litres of luggage space in the rear.
Child seats.
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.
