| Safet y
The 911 Carrera models are 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 LED front light units incorporate
direction indicators, daytime running
lights and position lights.
Automatic headlight activation is also
included as standard. 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, 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 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
traffic more quickly to a critical situation.
The lighting system features an automa­
tic
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.
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.
The system also of fers speed ­sensitive
headlight range control. With adaptive
light systems, it is possible for the maxi ­
mum range of the dipped beams to be
increased as a function of the speed of

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 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.

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.
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 the steering wheel, lights, wipers, air

conditioning, door locks, PCM, and
instrument cluster.
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.
Of fering 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,
have a firmer, sportier padding and offer
even bet ter lateral support. The backrest
shell is finished in Silver Grey.
Fully electric sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness
for comfort, the optional fully electric
sports seats offer fully electric adjustment
of seat height, backrest angle, squab angle,
sq ua b dept h, fore/a f t posi t io n, fou r ­way
lumbar support and even the steering
column.
The integrated memor y package supports
the exterior mirrors and all seat positions
on the driver’s side as well as set tings for
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 set tings for the steering
wheel, lights, wipers, air conditioning,
door locks, PCM, and instrument cluster.
Sports bucket seats.*
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 carbon­fibre
reinforced plastic (CFRP) with a carbon
surface finish.

Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option
for all seats (except for sports bucket
seats). Seats are heated in the squab,
the backrest and, for the front seats,
the side bolsters.
The ideal basis for any relationship:
Support as well as freedom.

Seating.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 comforta ­
ble 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 availa ­
ble, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet models
offer plent y of space for luggage, too.
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.

Climate control.
The 911 models feature t wo
­zone auto ­
matic climate control as standard with
an enhanced ventilation effect and sepa ­
rate 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.
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
­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 18–149 mph
speed range and is activated using a but ­
ton on the steering column control stalk.
Adaptive cruise control with Porsche
Active Safe (PAS).
1)
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 gently applying the brakes, until
the distance 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.

Slide/tilt sunroof.
The electrically adjustable slide/tilt sun
­
roof is available as optional equipment
for all 911 Carrera models. It opens out ­
wards so that it does not interfere with
headroom. Another advantage of the
novel design is the large aperture for
increased driving pleasure under the
open sky.
The two ­position net ­type 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.
ParkAssist.
Park Assist is fit ted as standard in the
911 Carrera Cabriolet models and is
available as an option for the 911 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 intermittent warning tone increases in
rapidit y as the obstacle is approached.
An enhanced version of Park Assist, with
four sensors in the front end, is available
as an option. The audible alert is supple ­
mented by a visual warning in the central
display screen, which shows a graphical
representation of the vehicle from over ­
head.
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 wind ­
screen wipers, is available as an option.
Luggage compartment.
The luggage compartment volume in the
911 models is 135 litres – 125 litres on
the 911 Carrera all ­wheel ­drive models.
The luggage compartment is fully trimmed
in scratch ­resistant materials.
Roof transport system.
Available as an option for the Coupé
models, the roof transport system in
aluminium 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/snow ­
board carrier. Maximum roof load is
75 kg.

Environment
Since 1963, we’ve defined the 911 in terms of sporty performance.
And we’ve scrutinised it daily for its efficiency-enhancing potential.

Porsche and the environment.
We’ve already spoken about our contribu ­
tion to motorsport. To be more precise,
about our responsibility for the future of
motorsport. We meet this responsibility
with intelligent technology, unconventional
ideas and optimum performance.
Our approach to environmental protection
is no different. In an era of intensifying
debate about global climate change and
CO
2 emissions, every automotive manu ­
facturer is asking what it has to offer
right now. Our answer has long been the
same: excellent performance at the
same time as greater efficiency. Porsche has managed to reduce fuel

consumption across all model ranges
by a double ­digit percentage compared
with the respective previous model even
though performance has been increased.
This is made possible by an efficient
drive concept (e.g. DFI and VarioCam
Plus), lightweight construction, optimised
aerodynamics and low rolling resistance.
The environmental management team
at the Porsche Development Centre
in Weissach aims to demonstrate a high
level of environmental responsibility. Here, technological developments are
carried out with environmental protection
in mind. The goal is to enhance perfor
­
mance – but, where possible, not at the
expense of the
environment. We achieve
this goal with
Intelligent Performance, as
epitomised
by the 911.

2 emissions, please refer to pages 139/141.

Environment
Exhaust emission control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche
demonstrate that even high ­performance
sports cars can achieve moderate
fuel consumption and exhaust emission
values in their respective category.
This is achieved, on the one hand, through
the use of fuel ­ef ficient technologies such
as auto start /stop, thermal management,
electrical system recuperation, direct fuel
injection, VarioCam Plus and, in conjunction
with optional PDK, coasting mode.
On the other hand, new cataly tic convert ­
ers developed for the 911 provide efficient
emission control.
The stereo Lambda control circuitr y
controls and monitors each cylinder bank
separately. For each exhaust tract,
oxygen sensors regulate the composition of the exhaust gas, while another Lambda
sensor on each cylinder bank monitors
pollutant conversion in the respective

cataly tic converter.

Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent light weight construction has
been fundamental to the Porsche identit y
since 1948, for both technical and
ecological reasons. This forms the basis
for achieving low fuel consumption
values in conjunction with outstanding
performance.
On the technical side, we use a high
proportion of aluminium, magnesium,
plastics and super ­high ­strength sheet
steel. The materials used have been
selected for their ability to withstand
load, yet they are considerably lighter
than conventional steel.
On the ecological side, all materials used
are meticulously selected. All synthetic
components are easily recyclable and each
material is labelled to facilitate its separa ­
tion for recycling. The reduction in the
number of plastic variants helps to ensure
more ef ficient recycling. Recycled plastics
are used where they meet our exacting
technical requirements.
In short, the 911 is around 95 % recyclable.
In addition, Porsche uses a high propor ­
tion of environmentally friendly water ­
based paints. For us, environmental
protection does not begin at the end of
a vehicle’s life. It starts at the planning
and development stage.

Fuel.
All Porsche models – including the 911 –
are designed to operate on fuels with an
ethanol content of up to 10 %, e.g. ‘E10’.
Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO
2
balance since the plants grown for the
production of this biofuel also absorb
CO
2 from the atmosphere.
The release of hydrocarbons from the
fuel system has been minimised thanks
in no small part to the active carbon filter
and the multilayered material from which
the fuel tank is made. All fuel lines are
made from multilayered plastic, steel or
aluminium.
For fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions, please refer to pages 139/141.
