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.

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.

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.
