e ngine management.
The electronic engine management
system ensures optimum perfect engine
performance at all times. It regulates all
engine-related functions and assemblies.
The results are optimum power output
and torque with comparatively low fuel
consumption and emissions – whatever
the driving st yle.
One example is the cylinder-specific knock
control. Since engine cylinders never all
work under exactly the same conditions,
the knock control function monitors each one separately. The ignition point is shift
-
ed individually, as and when necessary,
so as to protect the cylinders and pistons
at high engine speeds and loads. For
compliance with EU standards, the on-
board diagnostics detect any faults and
defects that may occur in the exhaust
and fuel systems and then display them
on the on-board computer. This also
helps to avoid increased pollutant emis
-
sions and unnecessary fuel consumption.
a uto start/stop function.
The auto start/stop function, which is in -
tegrated as standard in the new Cayman
models, switches off the engine when
you stop, select neutral and release
the clutch pedal. In cars with Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), it is simply a
case of applying and holding the brake.
All audio and communication systems
remain switched on. The engine will

restart as soon as you operate the clutch
or, in cars with PDK, release the brake.
This fuel-saving innovation is designed

primarily for use in urban traffic. The auto start /stop function can be deac
-
tivated and reactivated using a separate
but ton on the centre console. The func -
tion is deactivated automatically under
particular circumstances, e.g. in the
event of extreme outside temperatures,
activation of the SPORT but ton or low

bat tery charge.

l eather package.
The new optional leather package en -
hances the interior of your new Cayman
with additional items finished in leather.
You have a choice bet ween a minimalist
single-tone interior, with one of the
standard colours Black, Platinum Grey,
Luxor Beige or Yachting Blue, and a
t wo -tone combination of Agate Grey and
Pebble
Grey, Agate Grey and Lime Gold
or Agate Grey and Amber Orange. With
these combinations, the features in
leather (on the seats, only the seat centre)
are finished in the contrasting colour.
The package adds a leather finish to
the instrument surround, centre console
storage compartment lid, seat centres,
side bolsters and headrests, door arm -rests and door pulls. With the leather
package, the door pulls feature a silver-
coloured trim strip, which accentuates
the dynamic and sweeping design of

the interior. Instruments.
Forward drive is measured by your heart
rate. Or it can be displayed in numbers.
The three circular instruments give you all
the information you need. The rev counter
with digital speedometer is positioned
in the centre. In the Cayman S, the dial
face is aluminium-coloured; in the

Cayman, it is finished in minimalist black. The instrument on the left contains the

analogue speedometer with digital trip
meter and total distance display.
A new feature of the right-hand circular
instrument is the high-resolution 4.6-inch
TFT colour screen. It provides you with
a continuous stream of data from the
on-board computer, reminds you of your
selected communication and audio set -
tings, enables you to customise vehicle

settings, delivers various warnings, includ -
ing alerts from the optional Tyre Pressure
Monitoring (TPM) system, and, in conjunc-
tion with optional PCM, displays informa -
tion from the navigation system.

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
PDK, the steering wheel features t wo
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.
Steering wheel heating.
For extra comfort on those cold days,
a heating function is available as an

option for the sports steering wheel and

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.

CDr audio system.
Fit ted as standard, the CDR audio system
features a seven-inch colour monitor that
also acts as a touchscreen, giving you
quick and easy access to the most impor -
tant functions and menus.
The integrated CD radio includes an FM
dual tuner with RDS diversit y, 30 memory
presets, dynamic autostore and speed-
sensitive volume control and features a
sound system with four loudspeakers and
a total output of 2 x 25 wat ts.
As standard, the glove compartment con -
tains an AUX inter face, which enables you
to connect an external audio device such
as a compatible MP3 player.
Porsche Communication management
(PC m) including navigation module.
PCM is your central information and com -
munication system. It is powerful and
multifunctional, yet easy to operate. The
main feature is the intuitive seven-inch
touchscreen. Alternatively, you can choose
to operate PCM using conventional rotary
pushbut ton controls.
Radio functions include up to 42 memory
presets and an FM dual tuner with RDS
diversity, which continuously scans in
the background for the best signal, and a
dynamic autostore.
The CD/ DVD drive plays CDs and audio
DVDs and is MP3-compatible. A six-disc CD/ DVD autochanger integrated in PCM
is available as an option.
Fit ted in the glove compartment as stand
-
ard, the universal audio interface (USB)
enables you to connect and even charge
your iPod
® or any other compatible audio
source of your choice. The iPod® or a
USB stick can be operated conveniently
and safely via PCM, the optional multi -
function steering wheel or the optional

voice control system.
By means of the USB socket, it is also
possible to download data from the per -
formance display of the Sport Chrono
Package, as well as data from the elec-
tronic logbook. In the opposite direction, you can transfer up to 10,000 tracks in
MP3 format to the internal hard drive of
PCM and create your own jukebox. Play
-
back of recognised podcast and audio -
book formats is supported and cover art
is displayed.
The navigation module of PCM with high-
speed hard drive allows you to choose
bet ween a 2D display and a 3D perspec -
tive. In some regions, even buildings can
be displayed in 3D as well as terrain with
satellite image overlay. Split screen mode
enables you to view t wo functions at
once, such as the current navigation map
and a list of symbols that represent the
next navigation instruction.

Telephone module.*
Available as an option, the quadband
GSM telephone module offers conveni -
ence and excellent reception. With a SIM
card inserted directly into PCM’s integral
SIM card reader, calls can be made using
the hands-free facilit y. For even more
convenience, the Bluetooth
® capability
of a mobile phone can be used to make

calls through 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 t ype of mobile phone, this gives
access not only to the numbers on
the SIM card, but also to the phone’s
internal memory.
A selection of mobile phones can be
controlled entirely using PCM, the option -
al multifunction steering wheel or the
optional voice control system without

the phone ever leaving your pocket. The
telephone module also 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 established
through the aerial of the mobile phone.
PCM acts as a hands-free system
and you can leave the mobile phone
tucked
a w ay.
On request, a cordless handset for the
telephone module is also available. Stored
in the centre console storage compart -
ment, it features a display and keypad.
However, the handset cannot be used for
Bluetooth® links established using the
Handsfree Profile (HFP).
m obile phone preparation.*
An optional mobile phone preparation is
available to enable a Bluetooth® connec -
tion for those mobile phones that only
support the Handsfree Profile (HFP).*
This function also enables you to leave
your mobile phone tucked away. The

CDR audio system and PCM are able
to control only the basic functions of the
mobile phone. The GSM connection is
established through the mobile phone’s
aerial.
o nline services.*
With our new online services option and
the free-to -download Aha Radio app,
you can use your smartphone to stream
internet radio, news feeds, podcasts and
audiobooks directly to PCM. It is also
possible to call up local information such
as weather reports. Point of Interest
searches with subsequent direct selec -
tion as your navigation destination are
also supported. Online content is received by your smart
-
phone and controlled by means of PCM.
Online services can be used only in con -
junction with the universal audio interface
fitted as standard (iPhone®) or with the
optional mobile phone preparation or

telephone module (Android
® devices).
The Aha Radio app can be downloaded
from iTunes
® and Google Play® (formerly
Android
® Market).

Sound Package Plus.
For discerning ears, the optionally
available Sound Package Plus offers an
enhanced sound experience with nine
speakers and a total output of 235 wat ts.
You can adjust sound characteristics to
your preference using the CDR audio
system or optional Porsche Communi-
cation Management (PCM).
BoSe® Surround Sound System.
The optional BOSE® Surround Sound
System really strikes a chord.
Developed specifically for Porsche and
optimally tuned for the interior of the new
Cayman models, it can be combined with optional
Porsche Communication Manage -
ment (PCM) or the CDR audio system.
The BOSE
® Surround Sound System com -
prises eight amplifier channels with a total
output of 445 wat ts. Its 10 loudspeakers,
including an active subwoofer integrated
in the vehicle bodyshell behind the dash -
board, deliver a balanced acoustic pat tern.
In combination with optional PCM, the
BOSE
® Surround Sound System enables
audio playback of DVDs and is thus able
to make full use of the impressive sound
spectrum of 5.1 digital recordings. Of
course, you can still play other audio
sources, such as CDs and MP3s, in stereo
or, at the push of a but ton, in one of
the virtual surround modes generated by
BOSE
® Centerpoint® 2.
The BOSE
®- patented AudioPilot® noise
compensation technology uses a micro -
phone to continuously measure the ambi -
ent noise inside the vehicle and adapts
music playback instantly and automatically
so that a consistent sound is maintained –
whatever the driving conditions.
The result is a balanced, faithfully
repro
duced sound and a captivating
360°
acoustic experience.

1 Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System
Burmester® high- end Surround Sound
System.
Any car manufacturer can integrate a
sound system into a vehicle. Why not go
one step further and embed the driver in
a sound system? That was the aspiration
for Porsche and Burmester
® in the devel -
opment of the optional Burmester
® High-
End Surround Sound System. Conceived
and tuned specifically for the new
Cayman, this is high-end technology

‘made in Germany’.
Components used in the car are as
sophisticated as the components that

Burmester
® puts into its high-end home
audio systems. How do the numbers
sound? 12 amplifier channels with a total
output of 821 wat ts and 12 loudspeakers
including an active subwoofer. A particu -
larly special feature is the integration
of the active subwoofer in the bodyshell.
Not only does this provide ideal condi -
tions for the sound, it is consistent with
the principles of lightweight construction
as applied in motorsport.
Conceptually, we have broken entirely new
ground. The analogue and digital filters
of the crossover technology used have

been optimally defined for their installation
location and finely tuned following exten -
sive in-car audio testing. The perfect inter -
action of all loudspeaker chassis delivers
superior bass foundation, definition and
impulse accuracy.
As yet unequalled, the result is a natural
and richly textured spatial sound, even at
top volume. All of this is achieved despite the system’s remarkably low overall

weight
thanks to intelligent Burmester®
light
weight technology. The pure, sport y
design makes it clear
that the appeal of
the Burmester
® High-End Surround Sound
System is as much about
the visual as it is
the audio. Typically Porsche.
