You aren’t the cosy t ype, but you do
appreciate the value of comfort and

convenience.
The completely rest yled interior of the
new Cayman models will therefore make
you feel right at home. Here, every thing
is focused on one goal: advancing with
a blend of sport and comfort. The driver
is optimally integrated in the vehicle. The
ascending centre console positions the
gear lever close to the steering wheel for
fast, sporty and ergonomic gearshifts. The individual controls are clearly organ
-
ised. All but tons and the functions of the
on-board computer are intuitive to find
and select so that you can devote your
full at tention to the road.
The sport y character of the new Cayman
is further reinforced by the Sports seats –
fit ted as standard and with seat centres in
Alcantara. Materials have been carefully
chosen to ensure exquisite and st ylish
integration in the interior design. The

visible effect is exemplified by the silver-
coloured details on the dashboard and
centre console and by leather appliqués
on selected features, such as the steering
wheel rim, gear lever/selector and door
handle inlays. In the Cayman S, the door
armrests and the storage compartment
lid on the centre console are also finished
in leather as standard.
Nevertheless, there
is scope to refine and
st yle your Cayman
with, for example, the
comprehensive
leather interior package.
Not enough? Then why not add some more touches of your own? A wide range
of personalisation options is available for
the new Cayman models, a selection of
which is featured on the following pages.

Steering wheels.
Do you have an exact idea of how things
should turn out? The steering wheel vari -
ants of the new Cayman models with high-
grip rim in smooth-finish leather enable
you to take precise control. In combination
with the optional fully electric seats, the
steering wheel is also electrically adjust-able and, for even more convenience, a
memory function is included.
Sports steering wheel.
The three-spoke sports steering wheel is
fit ted as standard and offers up to 60 and
40 mm of adjustment for both height
and
reach, respectively. In conjunction with optional PDK, it features two ergonomic
switches. One press with the thumb and
PDK shifts up. One pull with the index

finger and PDK shifts down. Either the
right or left hand can be used. If your
Cayman is equipped with the optional

Sport Chrono
Package and optional PDK,
there is an additional display above the
airbag module. It tells you whether the SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Launch Control
functions are activated.
The multifunction steering wheel, which

is available on request, provides extra
convenience with four function buttons

and t wo thumbwheels for easy operation
of many audio, telephone and navigation
functions.
SportDesign steering wheel.
Available on request, the SportDesign
steering wheel is distinguished from the
standard steering wheel by its t win-spoke
design. Even on sport y drives, it remains
in firm hands. In conjunction with optional

gearshift paddles. These are made of solid alloy and are ergonomically located behind

the left- and right-hand steering wheel
spokes. Pull the right-hand paddle and
PDK shifts up. Pull the left-hand paddle
and PDK shifts down. When PDK has been
combined with the optional Sport Chrono
Package, the left- and right-hand spokes
additionally feature a display that tells you whether the SPORT, SPORT PLUS

and Launch Control functions have been
activated.

Sports seats.
The standard Sports seats are comfort
-
able and provide support even when the
car is driven hard into corners. The seat
centres are finished in Alcantara. Electric
backrest adjustment and manual height
and fore/af t adjustment are integrated as
st a n d a rd .
Sports seats Plus.
The optional Sports seats Plus are uphol -
stered in smooth -finish leather. The side
bolsters of the seat squab and backrest
are more prominently defined and have
a firmer, more sport y padding for even
bet ter lateral support. To help you find
the optimum posture, the seats feature

electric backrest adjustment and manual
height and fore/aft adjustment.

ment of seat height, backrest angle, squab
angle and squab depth. Also electrically
operated are the fore/af t adjustment,
four-way lumbar support and even the

option for all seats (except for the sports
bucket seats). Seats are heated in the
squab, backrest and side bolsters. In con -
junction with seat heating, we can also
equip your 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 evapo -
rates perspiration moisture and therefore
makes for a dry and pleasant seating
environment, even in hot weather.
Child seats.
A Cayman should be enjoyed by passen -
gers of all ages. ISOFIX child seat pre-
paration is available as an option and

includes a deactivation function for the
passenger airbag.

Storage compartments.
You could make an escape from every
-
day life or you could fully embrace it.
The choice is yours. It ’s also a lit tle
example of the personal freedom that
the new Cayman models afford you –

not only with performance, but also with
everyday practicalit y. In addition to the
luggage compartment at the front, the luggage space under the wide-opening
rear hatch is impressively roomy.
The lockable glove compartment and

the compartment with a power socket
under the armrest in the centre console
provide plent y of space. As does the
open compartment to the front of it. In
conjunction with the smoking package,
the open compartment makes way for

Cruise control.
Cruise control is available as an option for
the new Cayman models. This automatic
speed controller for the 30 to 240 km/ h
(18–149 mph) speed range is operated
by a switch on a separate control stalk on
the steering
column. The advantages
are clear. Not only can cruise control be
used as a
means of staying within the
speed limit, it also helps you to save fuel
by maintaining
a constant speed.
adaptive cruise control including
Porsche a ctive Safe (P aS).
Also available as an option is the en -
hanced version of cruise control, which
regulates the speed of your vehicle in
line with the speed of the vehicle in
front. A radar sensor inside the front
centre air intake scans the road ahead
up to a distance of 200 m. 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 by restricting throt tle or by
gently applying the brakes until your
chosen distance from the vehicle in front
is maintained. If the vehicle ahead slows
further, adaptive cruise control will decel-
erate your vehicle accordingly – even
down to a halt.
For increased safet y, the system also
readies the brakes whenever it detects
that the distance from the vehicle is
decreasing. However, the driver should
be prepared to intervene manually if
heavier braking is required.
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 audible 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 application of brake force 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.
Park assist.
Optional Park Assist is activated the mo -
ment you select reverse gear. An audible
signal gives a warning if you reverse too
close to an obstacle.
An enhanced version of Park Assist pro -
vides monitoring of the area to the front
of the vehicle. Ultrasonic sensors are
neatly integrated in the front and rear

aprons. The audible alert is supplemented
by a visual warning in the central display
screen of the CDR audio system or op -
tional PCM showing a graphical represen -
tation of the vehicle from overhead.
‘ w elcome h ome’ lighting.
The ‘Welcome Home’ lighting function
automatically switches on the LED day -
time running lights for a user-defined
period whenever the vehicle is opened

or closed using the key remote.
a nti-theft protection.
The new Cayman models are equipped as
standard with an immobiliser with in-key
transponder. In addition, the Cayman S has
an alarm system with contact-sensitive
exterior protection. A radar-based interior
surveillance system is available on request.
For the Cayman, a combined alarm and
radar-based interior surveillance system is
available as an option.
Porsche Vehicle Tracking System
(PV TS).
This optional preparation enables future
installation of the Porsche Vehicle Tracking
System (PV TS) from Porsche Tequipment.
PV TS makes it possible to locate a stolen
vehicle across most European countries.
The preparation package includes a spe -
cial wiring loom and a tilt sensor for the
alarm system.
