warning PORSCHE 911 TARGA4 2013 6.G Information Manual

5554
The new 9 11 Targa 4 models are equipped
as standard with Bi-Xenon headlights
including a headlight cleaning system and
dynamic range control. The LED front
light units incorporate direction indicators,
day time running lights and position lights.
Cut ting- edge LED technology is also used
for the taillights. LEDs provide better
illumination and respond more quickly to
driver input. In the event of sudden braking, the adap
-
tive LED brake lights begin to pulsate. If
the vehicle is braked to a halt, the hazard
warning lights will switch on automatically.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
is available as an option. Its dynamic
cornering light function swivels the head -
lights towards the inside of the bend,
based on steering angle and road speed,
in order to illuminate more of the road
Let’s call it a mobile

on tight bends and turns. Put simply, the
road ahead is illuminated the moment
you enter a bend. Speed-sensitive head -
light range control is also part of the
PDLS as is the adverse weather function.
LED main headlights with Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS +
).
Superior safet y meets sport y design in
the form of the LED main headlights with
PDLS +
which are available as optional
equipment. Each headlight housing
features four LED spots for the day time
running lights, and one LED light ring.
In addition to being efficient and long-
lasting, LED technology also creates

a light very similar to daylight which
helps to reduce driver fatigue.
One special feature of PDLS +
is the
dynamic main beam function. A camera
detects the lights of vehicles ahead as
well as those of oncoming traffic. Based
on the data from the camera, the dynamic
main beam function then adapts the
headlight range accordingly. This continu -
ous, stepless control means that you are
able to see the course of the road,
pedestrians and potential hazards earlier
without hindering other road users.

It also displays the navigation system
map, delivers various warnings, including
alerts from the Tyre Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) system, and tells you the current
front /rear axle torque distribution. You
can also use it to carry out individual
set tings.
Steering wheels.
In the 9 11 Targa 4, there is a point at
which all forces come together: the
steering wheel, where driver and machine
meet. This is why all steering wheels have
a high-grip steering wheel rim in smooth-
finish leather and offer outstanding
ergonomics. A full-size airbag is integrated
as standard.
Sports steering wheel.
The sports steering wheel is fit ted as
standard and adjusts up to 60 mm for

thumbwheels for convenient operation
of audio, telephone and navigation func

tions, the colour display and on-board
computer. On request, the steering wheel
is available in smooth -finish leather,
carbon or mahogany.
In conjunction with PDK, the steering
wheels are equipped with t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches enabling you to
change gear directly from the steering
wheel. With the optional Sport Chrono
Package, the steering wheel also features
a display above the airbag module to
inform you whether the SPORT, SPORT
PLUS and Launch Control functions have
been activated.
Steering wheel heating.
For increased comfort on cold days,
steering wheel heating is available as an
option for the sports steering wheel and
multifunction steering wheel.
SportDesign steering wheel.
In conjunction with PDK, the steering

These are made from a strong alloy and
are ergonomically located behind the left-

and Launch Control functions have
been activated.
As with the sports steering wheel, the

‘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

keeps the day time running lights, the
taillights and, where applicable, the
courtesy lights switched on until you
reach your front door.

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
button on the steering column control stalk.
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 windscreen wipers, is
available as an option. The SportDesign
exterior mirrors featuring a V-shaped

audibly alerts the driver to the presence
of obstacles. An intermittent warning
tone increases in rapidity as the obstacle
is approached.
ParkAssist (front and rear).
An enhanced version of Park Assist,
with four sensors in the front end, is
available as an option. The audible alert
is supplemented by a visual warning in
the central display, which shows a
graphical representation of the vehicle

from overhead.
Porsche Entry & Drive.
With the optional Porsche Entry & Drive,
you can leave your car key in your pocket.
As soon as you grab the door handle or

Adaptive cruise control including
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).

enhanced version of cruise control, which
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.
Sense of style | Comfort
Imagine you’ve selected 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/sec²
by restricting throt tle or by applying the
brakes as appropriate to the prevailing
situation until your chosen distance from
the vehicle in front is maintained.
Your vehicle now follows the vehicle
ahead at a reduced speed. If the vehicle
ahead slows further, adaptive cruise
control will decelerate your vehicle
accordingly – even down to a halt. As
soon as the road ahead clears, your
vehicle will accelerate back up to the
cruising speed originally set.
Porsche Active Safe (PAS) issues an audi-
ble and a visual warning if the system
detects that your vehicle is approaching
the vehicle in front too quickly. This is
accompanied by a brief jolt of the brakes
and, where necessary, 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.
Luggage compartment.
The luggage compartment volume in the
new 911 Targa 4 models is 125 litres.
The luggage compartment is fully
trimmed in scratch-resistant materials.
