Electric parking brake.
The 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 to prevent the vehicle
from moving in the opposite direction.
Airbags.
The 911 Carrera 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).
Coupé or Cabriolet, the 911 models are
equipped as standard with the Porsche
Side Impact Protection System (POSIP).
It comprises side impact protection ele ­
ments in the doors and t wo airbags on each side. An integral thorax
airbag is
located in each seat side bolster,
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 pro ­
tection in the event of a side impact.
Cabriolet roll-over protection concept.
Despite their low weight, the 911 Carrera
Cabriolet models have exemplary torsional
rigidit y and flexural strength. Body flexing
is minimal, even on the most poorly sur ­
faced roads.
Increased protection is provided by an
automatically deploying roll ­over protec ­
tion system if the car were to overturn.
Two spring ­loaded roll ­over bars are
neatly incorporated behind the rear
seats. The roll ­over sensor continuously
monitors the car’s pitch and roll, contact
with the road, as well as lateral and
longitudinal forces. If the car were to
overturn, the roll ­over bars would be
deployed instantly.
