Safety
Power is only one aspect of performance.
It is nothing without control.
Safety in the Cayman and Cayman S.
Active safety.
Active safety is an integral part of
every new Porsche design. Each
new vehicle concept incorporates
systems and components which
are developed with one aim in
mind: total safety for you and your
passengers.The suspension and steering – the
basic platform of the car – have a decisive role to play. On the
Cayman and Cayman S, they offer
generous reserves of safety,
even at racetrack speeds. Equally
important are the reserves
of power, which enable rapid
overtaking manoeuvres. Bringing
Night-time driving is equally
assured thanks to a highly
effective front and rear lighting
concept. The low front foglights
offer excellent illumination,
precisely where you need it most.
A high-level third brake light is
neatly integrated at the base of
the large rear screen. In addition
to the obvious safety benefits,
the front and rear lighting on the
Cayman and Cayman S create
a unique ‘night design’.
Bi-Xenon lighting system with
headlight cleaning.
This optional headlight system
offers greater light output in
low-beam mode, improved
illumination up to the light/dark
border, better lateral visibility and
reduced driver fatigue thanks
to a higher colour temperature.
A dynamic headlight levelling
function raises and lowers the
angle of each light to compensate
for changes in the attitude of the
car under braking and acceleration.

Downforce is provided by a bi-plane
rear spoiler and aerodynamic front
end. Another important standard
safety feature is Porsche Stability
Management (PSM – see page 64).

The new Cayman and the Cayman S |Safety
Driver and passenger airbags.
Both full-size airbags at the
front of the car have a two-stage
inflation capability, in which
deployment is dependent on the
nature and force of the accident.
In a low-speed crash, the airbag
is only partially inflated, thereby
minimising occupant discomfort.
Anti-theft protection.
Both Cayman models have an
engine immobiliser with in-key
transponder. In addition, the
Cayman S has a comprehensive
alarm system with contact-
sensitive exterior protection.
The alarm is activated or
deactivated using the standard
key remote when locking or
unlocking the car. Radar-based
interior surveillance is also
available as an option. approximately 8 litres, ensuring
maximum protection over the
entire seat adjustment range.
The passenger cell is shielded
by side-impact protection beams
in each of the doors.
Other standard safety features
include integral head restraints,
an energy-absorbing steering
column, three-point seat belts
with pre-tensioners and force
limiters, energy-absorbing
structures in the dashboard area
and flame-retardant materials
throughout the interior.
· 66 ·Porsche Side Impact Protection (POSIP)
Vehicle tracking system.
An optional preparation is
available for both Cayman models
enabling future installation of a
vehicle tracking system obtainable
from Porsche Tequipment. The
system can be used to locate a
stolen vehicle across most of the
countries of Europe. Note:
package comprises special wiring
loom and higher capacity battery.
Child seats.
The passenger’s seat is also
designed to carry an ISOFIX-
compatible child seat. The
necessary preparation – including
airbag deactivation – is available
from Porsche Tequipment. You
will also find a comprehensive
range of Porsche child seats.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
(POSIP).
Both Cayman models are equipped
with Porsche Side Impact Protection
(POSIP) as standard. This
comprehensive package provides
effective protection for the head
and upper body area. Each seat
has two side airbags featuring
hybrid gas generant technology.
A thorax airbag is located in the
side of the seat backrest, while
a head airbag deploys upwards
from the door. All four airbags

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,

wheel. The latter is equipped with
six integral keys offering direct

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

BOSE® Surround Sound System.
The engine and exhaust on the
Cayman and Cayman S create
their own unique sound experience.
For the perfect accompaniment,
choose the lifelike audio of the
optional BOSE
®Surround Sound
System. Jointly developed by
Porsche and BOSE
®, it is perfectly
engineered for the interior
acoustics of both Cayman models.
A total of 10 loudspeakers,
including an active subwoofer with
integral 100-Watt switching amp,
deliver crystal-clear surround
sound output. The lifelike spatial
quality is equally impressive in
either seat position.Powering it all is a seven-channel
MOST
®-based digital amplifier
featuring 5 x 25-Watt linear amps
and a single 100-Watt switching
unit. AudioPilot™ noise compen-
sation technology provides
automatic adjustment of tone and
volume based on current road
speed and ambient noise. The
result is a noticeably clearer and
more consistent sound, with
no need for continuous manual
adjustment.
Active equalisation matches
all sound output to the unique
acoustics of the Cayman and
Cayman S. Covering the entire
frequency spectrum, it delivers
lifelike audio to both seat
positions.
The dynamic loudness function
included with the system is a
more sophisticated alternative to
conventional technologies. By
enhancing the lower frequencies
in low-volume sound, it actively
compensates for the reduced
sensitivity of the human ear at
the lower end of the range.The key system component,
BOSE
®Automotive Surround
Sound, uses independent
channels at front and rear to
create a push-button panorama
of space and sound. The sense
of depth is further enhanced
with the aid of patented BOSE
®
Signal Processing (BSP). Thanks
to Centerpoint™ technology,
even stereo recordings can be
split into five separate channels.
Together, these technologies
provide a breathtaking alternative
to the car’s natural engine
acoustics. Completing the
package is a CD storage system,
conveniently located in the glove
compartment.
