The SPORT but ton on the centre console
is fit ted as standard. When selected,
‘Sport ’ mode is activated to provide a
greater response and enhanced driving
pleasure. The engine reacts even more
directly to the accelerator pedal, the

rev-limiter is adjusted to a harder set ting
and engine dynamics are tuned for per -
formance driving. At the same time, the
auto start /stop function is deactivated
automatically.
With optional Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), the shift points are reconfigured
to offer higher and even sportier rpm bands. Shift times are reduced and gear
-
shifts become firmer and more immedi -
ate, while throttle-blip downshifts are
accompanied by an even more emotive
engine sound. Coasting mode (p. 44) is
deactivated automatically. e lectrical system recuperation.
Another efficiency-enhancing feature of
the new Cayman models is intelligent
electrical system recuperation. The vehi-
cle bat tery is recharged by the generator
predominantly under braking. Thanks
to this selective recharging, when you

request full driving power, the maximum
possible output of the engine can be
directed straight to the road because

the electrical systems are supplied main -
ly by the energy that was stored in the
battery during the braking phase.
Servicing.
In the Cayman models, the generator and
air conditioning system are driven by a
single self-adjusting belt. The drive chains
on the camshafts do not normally require
servicing. With the sole exception of the spark
plugs, the ignition system is also

maintenance-free. In short, longer service
intervals mean longer-lasting driving
pleasure.

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

optional mobile phone preparation or

telephone module (Android
® devices).
