Instruments.
A single glance is all it takes –
particularly when it comes to the
instruments. The familiar Porsche
grouping of symmetrical round
instruments forms an integral
part of the cockpit design.Above the instruments is a
specially designed shroud with
semi-transparent grille. The dials
on the new Cayman have a black
background, while those on the
Cayman S have an aluminium-
coloured finish. Both sets of
instruments feature crisp white
backlight illumination. An integral
light sensor automatically adjuststhe degree of illumination to match
the ambient light conditions.
The dials provide a continuous
overview of all key information,
including external temperature,
time, trip odometer, total odometer
and vehicle speed. You can also
view a range of additional data
from the standard on-board
computer, e.g., average fuel
access to audio, navigation and
– if fitted – telephone functions
(only in conjunction with PCM).
For a detailed overview of the
available steering wheel options,
see pages 109-113. standard. Special features include
40 mm of height and reach
adjustment. A smooth leather
finish is available as an optional
extra on the steering wheel rim
and airbag module. Alternatively,
you can specify a three-spoke
sports or three-spoke multifunction
wheel. The latter is equipped with
six integral keys offering direct
Cayman dashboard with optional equipment, e.g., leather interior package with two-tone combination, PCM

Sports seats.
The optional leather sports seats
offer firmer upholstery than the
standard seat design. Higher side
bolsters on backrest and squab
provide additional lateral support.
The fore/aft position and height
are mechanically adjustable, while
the backrest is electrically
controlled.
Electrically adjustable seats.
This second seat option features
full electric adjustment of fore/aft
position, height, backrest angle,
squab angle and lumbar support.
A memory function stores your
seat and lumbar support settings
along with the exterior mirror
positions. Two sets of preferences
can be stored and selected using
buttons conveniently located on
the door panel. A further set of
preferences can be stored in each
of the two key remotes. When
either of the remotes is used to
open the doors, the corresponding
seat and mirror settings are
automatically selected.
The new Cayman and the Cayman S |Comfort
Adaptive sports seats.
This alternative seat option
combines excellent comfort with
a driver memory function. The
comprehensive range of power
adjustment controls include
fore/aft position, height, backrest
angle, squab angle and lumbar
support. The side bolsters
on backrest and squab are
pneumatically adjustable for the
perfect fit. This exceptional
variability ensures generous
comfort on long-distance journeys
as well as precision support when
cornering. The memory function
includes both exterior mirrors as
well as all seat settings except
for the squab and backrest side
bolsters.
Seat heating.
All seat variants can be equipped
with an optional two-stage heating
function for backrest and squab.
Air conditioning.
The standard air conditioning in
the new Cayman and Cayman S
offers quiet, efficient operation.
Settings can be adjusted from
either seat position using simple
plus and minus keys.
For optimum comfort, you can
select different temperature
settings for the upper and lower
areas of the cockpit. Other
convenient features include a
windscreen defroster function.
As an optional alternative, we
can equip your car with a fully
automatic air-conditioning system.
Offering consistent control of
interior temperature, the
system uses a solar sensor
to compensate for the effects
of ambient light.
Cruise control.
This optional system provides
automatic speed control between
30 and 240 km / h (20-149 mph).
It is operated via a separate
control stalk on the steering
column and can be used in all
available gears.
Standard seats.
The standard seats have a
leatherette finish with Alcantara
facings. Special features include
thorax airbags in each seat
backrest, enhanced lateral
support, and a specially designed
spring system that is adapted to
the chassis of the car. The high
side bolsters provide optimum
support without any feeling of
restriction. Generous seat travel
and adjustment options mean that
even taller drivers can find the
ideal seat position. The backrest
angle is electrically controlled,
while the fore/aft position and
height are mechanically adjustable.
Two-stage heating is available as
an optional extra.

Rear screen.
Both models have a large, tinted
and heated rear screen offering
excellent rearward visibility.
A detachable fabric screen on
the inside of the rear lid provides
additional privacy for the main
luggage area.
Rear wiper.
Both Cayman models can also
be equipped with a highly
effective and streamlined rear
wiper system. Its elegant form
blends harmoniously with the
exterior design.
ParkAssist.
This optional parking aid is
automatically enabled whenever
you select reverse gear.
Move too close to a stationary
object and a warning signal is
emitted. Continue to reverse and
the tone increases in frequency.
The distance is measured by a
row of ultrasonic sensors, which
are neatly concealed in the rear
bumper.

‘Welcome Home’ lighting.
This standard lighting function
provides comfort and safety
when using the car after dark.
The foglights and taillights are
automatically illuminated when the
car is locked or unlocked using
the key remote. The lights remain
illuminated for 30 seconds,
lighting your way to or from the
car. This delay is user-adjustable
on vehicles with optional Sport
Chrono Package Plus and Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM).
HomeLink®.
This optional garage-door opener
is freely programmable and
integrated within the cockpit. It
offers remote control of up to
three garage, gate, home lighting
and/or alarm systems. Compatible
with virtually all garage and gate
systems.
Water-repellent side windows.
The side window glass on both
Cayman models has a highly
effective water-repellent finish. By
rapidly dispersing moisture and
dirt, it ensures optimum visibility
in the wet. (Note: surface finish
requires occasional renewal
depending on vehicle usage.)
Front wipers.
The front wipers have an adjustable
wipe interval, are aerodynamically
designed and park neatly out
of sight when not in use. The
right-hand blade has a bowed
construction enabling maximum
wiper coverage. The windscreen
washer system features two
heated nozzles with integral filter
element. An optional rain sensor
is also available in conjunction
with the auto-dimming interior and
exterior mirrors.

Exhaust emission control.
Four-valve cylinder heads and
VarioCam Plus ensure minimal
emissions at source. After leaving
the engine, the gases are cleaned
by a system of four catalytic
converters and four ‘Lambda’ or
oxygen sensors. Controlling it
all with optimum efficiency is
the Motronic ME7.8 engine
management system. Each bank
of cylinders has its own Lambda
circuit, enabling precision
adjustment of the air/fuel mix.
Each exhaust tract has two
Lambda sensors, one upstream
and one downstream of the
primary catalyst.* The resulting
benefits include full compliance
with both the EU4 emissions
standard and ULEV II regulations
in the United States, as well as
excellent fuel economy.
Noise.
The Cayman and Cayman S comply
with all current noise regulations
without any form of engine
encapsulation. To do that, we’ve
eliminated noise at source in
every area of each car. Engine
components are rigid, moving
parts are light, and tolerances
have been reduced to a minimum.
The result is a pure and distinctive
sound – with all the character
you’d expect from a Porsche.
Fuel system.
All fuel lines are made from robust
aluminium, while those carrying
vapours are multi-layer plastic. The
result is a significant reduction in
the evaporation of hydrocarbons.
Materials and recycling.
All structural components,
switchgear and trim are made
from fully recyclable materials.
Better still, it is highly unlikely
that they will ever need recycling
at all. Long-term durability is,
after all, one of the defining
qualities of every Porsche car.
A key objective during the
development process was all-
round weight reduction. This was
achieved using cast aluminium
alloys, synthetic materials and
high-tensile metals. Used correctly,
this blend of materials is both
stronger and lighter than
conventional
steel. As well as
reducing fuel consumption, it
offers positive environmental
benefits.
Approximately 85 % of all com-
ponents can already be recycled
using today’s technology. This
proportion is set to increase as
* Not featured in markets with leaded fuel.The new Cayman and the Cayman S |
Environment
new thermal methods are
introduced. To simplify recycling,
all synthetic components are
clearly labelled in accordance
with the relevant standards.
Both Cayman models are entirely
free of CFCs and components
manufactured with the aid of
these chemicals. Water-based
paints are used throughout each
car, thereby reducing the need
for chemical solvents during the
production process.
Servicing.
Longer service intervals are not
only more convenient for you, they
are also better for the environment.
With the new Cayman and
Cayman S, we have achieved
very modest servicing
requirements: engine oil every
20,000 miles (or two years),
oil filter every 20,000 miles, air
filter every 40,000 miles, spark
plugs every 60,000 miles (or
four years), and brake fluid every
two years.
In addition to the obvious
environmental benefits, the
advantage for you is two-fold: a
lower cost of ownership throughout
the life of the car, and more time
spent on the road. Based on
mileage alone, the new Cayman
models require just three stops
for servicing every 60,000 miles,
or one service every two years.
