Wheels.
On the new 911, the wheels have been
enlarged by one inch over the previous
model. Not only do the larger wheels
improve dynamic performance, they
also look more imposing.
The new 911 Carrera is equipped with
19-inch Carrera wheels as standard. These are light weight alloys featuring

a classic sport y design. Tyre sizes are
235/40 ZR 19 and 285/35 ZR 19 at
the front and rear respectively.
The S model is equipped with light-alloy
20 -inch Carrera S wheels as standard.
The visual effect is sport y and dynamic.
The t yres are slightly wider to cope
with the increased power output of this model: 245/35 ZR 20 at the front,
295/30 ZR 20 at the rear.
The larger t yre size improves both ride
comfort and track performance. The

rolling resistance of the summer t yres
has been reduced by up to 7 % to improve
fuel economy, while t yre weight and dry
braking distances have also been
reduced. A selection of 20-inch wheels is available in
our range of options.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM).
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) is available
on request. This safet y system 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 individual pressures
in all four t yres can be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
As standard, the new 911 models

are equipped with enhanced Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM), which
maintains stability even at the limits of
dynamic driving performance. Sensors
continuously monitor the direction,
speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration
of the car. Using this information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction
of travel at any given moment. If the car
begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM
applies selective braking on individual
wheels to restore stabilit y.
Under acceleration on wet or low-grip
road surfaces, PSM improves traction
using the automatic brake differential
(ABD), anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
engine drag torque control (EDC) function.
When the SPORT PLUS mode of the
optional Sport Chrono Package is selected,
the PSM threshold is raised to allow a
sportier driving st yle.
For an even more dynamic experience,
you always have the option to deactivate
PSM. It is automatically reactivated,

for your safet y, only if you brake harder
and either of the front wheels (in SPORT
PLUS mode, both of the front wheels)
requires ABS assistance. ABS and ABD,
however, remain active at all times.
PSM therefore offers a high level of
driving stability and safety combined
with extraordinary agilit y. It ’s an
apparent contradiction in terms, but an
intrinsic part of the Porsche identit y.

The 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S are
both equipped as standard with Bi-Xenon
headlights including a headlight cleaning
system and dynamic range control.

With dipped or main beam, the road
ahead is illuminated more uniformly.
The rest yled LED front light units
incorporate direction indicators, daytime -
running lights and position lights.
Both 911 models come with automatic
headlight activation. The moment it gets
dark, the daytime running lights switch
off and the dipped beam headlights
switch on automatically. 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 and the rear fog
light. LEDs provide bet ter illumination and
respond more quickly to driver input.
In the event of sudden braking, the adaptive
LED brake lights begin to pulsate. If the
vehicle is braked to a halt, the hazard
warning lights will switch on automatically,
alerting following traf fic more quickly to

a critical situation.
The lighting system features an automatic
switch-off and the ‘Welcome Home’
function. It ’s good to know what ’s around
the next corner or on the way to your
front door.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS) is available as an option for both
models.
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.

light systems, it is possible for the maxi -

the vehicle. PDLS takes care of this
automatically in t wo stages. Stage 1 is
the basic position for driving in cit y traffic,
for example. Stage 2 is designed for
driving at faster speeds, such as on the
motorway. Above 130 km/ h (80 mph),
the range is adapted again.
Another feature of PDLS is the adverse
weather function, activated whenever the
rear fog light is switched on. It reduces
the effect of reflection phenomena in
poor visibilit y conditions to avoid the risk
of the driver being dazzled.

Climate control.
Both 911 models feature t wo -zone auto
-
matic climate control as standard with an
enhanced ventilation effect and separate
temperature controls for the driver and
front passenger. The available air condi -
tioning 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.
‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
For convenience, particularly at night, the
‘Welcome Home’ lighting function auto -
matically 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 - of f timer
keeps the daytime running lights, the
taillights and, where applicable, the
courtesy lights switched on until you
reach your front door.
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
(18–149 mph) speed range and is activated
using a but ton on the steering column
control stalk.
Many things have practical qualities.
Even more have a sporty function.
And some are just extremely convenient.

Additional comfort and convenience features.ParkAssist.
The optional Park Assist features 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 warn -
ing tone increases in rapidity as the
obstacle is approached.
An enhanced version of Park Assist,
with four sensors in the front end, is
available on request. The audible alert
is supplemented by a visual warning
in the central display screen, which
shows a graphical representation of
the vehicle from overhead.
Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing.

It comprises dimmable LEDs in the door
panels, overhead console, footwells,
ignition lock and rear compartment.
