Performance needs sustained stability.
Fit ted as standard on the new Cayman,
18-inch alloy wheels are responsible for
maintaining the strong connection be -
t ween the vehicle and the road. A mini -
malist dual -arm spoke design accentuates
their sport y character – and yours. Tyre
sizes are 235/45 ZR 18 at the front and
265/45 ZR 18 at the rear.
The Cayman S is equipped as standard
with 19-inch wheels with a classic five-
spoke design. The t yre size at the front is 235/40 ZR 19 and 265/40 ZR 19 at
the rear.
Wheels up to 20 inches are available
from our list of options. The large rolling circumference helps to
improve comfort. At the same time, the
rolling resistance of the new generation

of t yres has been reduced, which, in turn,
helps to reduce fuel consumption.

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).

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.
