brakes PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4S 2015 6.G Information Manual

Safety and environment 69
We want to speed everything up. Progress
included. The same applies to negative
acceleration. That’s because even brakes
are a source of potential. So we’ve upsized
the brake system of the new 911 to match
the increased power output.
T h e 911
Carrera base models are fit ted
with newly developed four-piston
aluminium monobloc fixed calipers with
a black anodised finish. All brake discs
have a diameter of 330 mm.
The S models are equipped with red six-
piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake
calipers at the front and four-piston equivalents at the rear. The brake
chambers at the front axle are now
made from aluminium. Brake disc
diameters are 350 mm at the front,
330 mm at the rear. For enhanced
stability and braking performance.
On all models, the brake calipers have an
enclosed monobloc construction. This
makes them tougher but light weight and
enables a more rapid response and
release of the brake even under extreme
loads. The pedal travel is short and the
biting point precise. The brake discs are
cross-drilled for improved wet braking
and optimum cooling.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
Proven in motorsport, the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is
available as an option. On the new 911,
the cross-drilled ceramic brake discs of
PCCB now have a diameter of 410 mm at
the front and 390 mm at the rear –
for even more formidable braking
performance.
Originating from the 911
 Turbo S, PCCB
features six-piston aluminium monobloc
fixed brake calipers on the front axle and
four-piston units at the rear – all painted
in yellow – to provide braking forces that
are considerably more powerful and,
crucially, are exceptionally consistent.
For Ferry Porsche, even then standing still was unthinkable.
With one exception.
Brakes.
PCCB enables shorter braking distances
in even the toughest road and race
conditions. Safety under high-speed
braking is also improved thanks to its
excellent fade resistance.
Another advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs of a
similar design and size. This results in
better roadholding and increased comfort,
particularly on uneven roads, as well as
greater agilit y and a further improvement
in handling.

Adaptive cruise control including
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
Available as an option in conjunction
with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
this enhanced version of cruise control
actively regulates the speed of your
vehicle in line with the speed of the
vehicle in front. A radar sensor scans the
road ahead up to a distance of 200  m.
If Porsche Active Safe (PAS) detects that
your vehicle is approaching the vehicle in
front too quickly, the system issues an
audible and a visual warning. Where
necessary, this may be accompanied by
a brief jolt of the brakes and the initiation
of targeted braking. During this process,
any braking by the driver is boosted to
achieve the maximum braking force that
the system is able to provide. With the new 911, coasting is now
possible even while adaptive cruise
control is active.
Lane Change Assist.
New Lane Change Assist, available as an
option, uses radar sensors to monitor
the areas to the rear of the vehicle and
the blind spots on either side. Above a
speed of 9 mph, the system issues a
visual warning signal in the door mirror
panel whenever a vehicle rapidly
approaches your vehicle from behind

or enters one of your blind spots. In
this way, Lane Change Assist improves
comfort and safety, particularly on
motorways. However, the system does
not actively intervene to control the
vehicle and can be deactivated at any
time.
ParkAssist.
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.
ParkAssist can be optionally upgraded to
include monitoring of the front end with
four additional sensors. The audible alert
is supplemented by a visual warning in
the central display screen, which shows
a graphical representation of the vehicle
from overhead.
The optional reversing camera facilitates
precise reverse parking and manoeuvring.
Help is provided in the form of the camera

image and the dynamic, superimposed

illustrate the predicted course of the
vehicle given the current position of the

Speed limit indicator.
The camera-based speed limit indicator
informs you of speed restrictions and
‘no overtaking’ zones (start and end).
Notifications appear on the display in the
instrument cluster and on the screen of
PCM.
