Under acceleration on wet or low-grip
road surfaces, PSM improves traction –
as well as agilit y and safet y – using the
automatic brake differential (ABD) and

designed to minimise braking distances. car. Using this information, PSM is able
to calculate the actual direction of travel
at any given moment. If the car begins
to oversteer or understeer, PSM applies
selective braking on individual wheels in
order to restore stability.

(yaw movement) around the vehicle’s
vertical axis. This results in a direct and
sport y steering action as the car enters
the corner.
When the car is driven assertively into

a corner, moderate brake pressure is
applied to the inside rear wheel. Conse -
quently, a greater amount of drive force
is distributed to the outside rear wheel,
inducing an additional rotational pulse Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).
This optional system for increasing
dynamic performance and stability varies

Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats.** Seats are heated in the squab,
backrest and side bolsters. In conjunction
with seat heating, we can equip the seats
(excluding Sports bucket 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 evaporates perspiration moisture
and therefore makes for a dry and pleas-
ant seating environment, even in hot
weather.
Fully electric Sports seats.

Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) including navigation module.
PCM is your central information and
communication system. It is powerful
and multifunctional, yet easy to operate.
The focal point is the intuitive 7-inch
high-resolution touchscreen. Almost all
functions can be controlled with just your
fingertips, although conventional rotary
pushbut ton controls are still provided.
Radio functions include up to 42 memory
presets, dynamic autostore and the
FM dual tuner with RDS diversit y, which
continuously scans in the background for
the best signal. The CD/ DVD drive plays
CDs and audio DVDs and is MP3-compati -
ble. A six- disc CD/ DVD autochanger inte -
grated into PCM is available as an option.
CDR Plus audio system.
Optional CDR Plus has seven loudspeakers
and delivers a total output of 185 wat ts.
Functions are controlled using a high-res -
olution 7-inch touchscreen. An analogue
and digital t win tuner ensures an exten -
sive selection of radio broadcasts. Other
features include a CD/ DVD drive support -
ing audio playback of MP3 files and
audio/video DVDs, a USB port for various
iPod
® and iPhone® models, an MP3 play-
er or for USB memory sticks containing
MP3 tracks. Cover art is also supported.
Connected USB devices can be controlled
via CDR Plus or the optional multifunction
steering wheel. An AUX inter face enables
you to connect additional external audio
sources, in which case functions are con -
trolled directly from the external device.
CDR audio system.
The CDR audio system is an ideal com -

Telephone module.*
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. By inserting a SIM card directly
into the integral SIM card reader of CDR
Plus or PCM, calls can be made using the
hands-free facilit y. For even more conven -
ience, the Bluetooth
® capability of a
mobile phone can be used to make calls
via the SIM Access Profile (SAP). Once
automatic pairing is complete, the mobile phone’s aerial is switched off to conserve
battery charge and the phone operates
via the car aerial. Depending on the
mobile phone model, this gives access
not only to the numbers on the SIM card,
but also to the phone’s internal memory.
Depending on the phone, it can also be
controlled using CDR Plus or PCM, the
optional multifunction steering wheel or
the optional voice control system, without

it ever leaving your pocket. In addition, the telephone module enables
you to establish a Bluetooth
® link with
those mobile phones that only support
the Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this case,
the GSM connection is always estab -
lished through the aerial of the mobile
phone. CDR Plus or PCM acts as a hands-
free system and you can leave the mobile
phone tucked away. On request, a tele -
phone module with cordless handset is
also available for PCM. Stored in the centre console, it features a
display and keypad. However, the hand
-
set cannot be used for Bluetooth
® links
established using the Handsfree Profile
(HFP).
