The secret of performance?
Efficiency.
OBD II on-board diagnostics. The
key components, however, are the 
primary and secondary catalytic
converters on the twin exhaust
tracts. Each catalyst has a rapid
warm-up cycle so emissions are
which the engine management
system uses to establish the 
optimum air/fuel mix and monitor
the efficiency of the catalytic 
converters.
standard as well as LEV2 – LEV
(Cayenne and Cayenne Turbo) 
and LEV2 – ULEV (Cayenne S 
and Cayenne GTS) regulations 
in the United States. Whatever
the class, every Porsche 
combines high performance 
Exhaust emissions.
The Cayenne models are all
equipped with the very latest
emissions technologies. As a
result, they comply with both the
stringent EU4 exhaust emissions
with only moderate emissions.
On the Cayenne models, this is
achieved using an advanced
engine concept featuring direct
fuel injection, VarioCam Plus 
(V8 engines) or variable valve 
timing (V6 Cayenne) as well asreduced sooner when starting
from cold.
Another important feature is 
the use of twin oxygen-sensor 
circuits. Each bank of cylinders
has a separate control system

Fuel system.
We have also applied the highest
engineering standards to protect
the environment from fuel 
evaporation. The non-return 
fuel supply system provides a
considerable reduction in vapour
emissions. The fuel lines are 
partly constructed from steel,
while those carrying vapour are
made from multi-layer plastics.
A large active-carbon filter and
multi-layer plastic fuel tank help
reduce evaporation even more.
A leak detection pump is also
included to monitor the integrity 
of the fuel tank system.
Acoustics.
Think of a Porsche and what 
do you hear? One of the most 
distinctive sounds on the road.
A sound created not just by the
engine, but also by the absence 
of unwanted noise. To minimise
Fuel economy.
At Porsche, we’re using innovative
technologies to increase perform-
ance while enhancing fuel economy.
With direct fuel injection (DFI),
we’ve made our engines more 
efficient in terms of both output 
and consumption. DFI is combined
with VarioCam Plus in the V8 engines
and variable valve timing in the
Cayenne V6. As well as improving
performance and economy, both 
of these systems help to minimise
engine emissions. The low-drag 
exterior on each Cayenne model 
further improves efficiency.
Fuel.
All Porsche models are already
compatible with a fuel ethanol 
content of up to 10 %. Ethanol 
has a positive impact on the carbon
dioxide balance since the plants
grown for its production absorb 
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
‘play’ between engine components
under all load conditions, we’ve
used stronger, lighter and more
temperature-resistant materials.
This reduces mechanical noise
and eliminates the need for engine
encapsulation. Large-volume
silencers and air intake manifolds
also help to minimise noise –
throughout the life of the car.
Tyre noise has been drastically
reduced in collaboration with 
our official tyre partners. Wind
noise levels have also been 
lowered thanks to aerodynamic
refinements.
All that remains is the Porsche
sound – as legendary as ever.

Servicing.
Although every journey is a pleasure
in a Porsche, there’s one you won’t
have to make too often. Thanks to
the lengthy service intervals and 
long-life components, we may not 
be seeing you for some time.
In the case of the oil filter, for 
example, all that’s replaced is an
easily recyclable paper element.
The oil filter casing remains on 
the car.
All moving parts inside the engine
are fully self-adjusting. The valve
clearances, for example, feature
automatic hydraulic control.
All camshafts have a zero-
maintenance chain-drive system.With single-spark coils on each 
of the cylinders, the entire ignition
system, with the exception of the
spark plugs, is maintenance-free.
These modest servicing require-
ments mean less waste disposal
and fewer demands on natural
resources. They also lower the 
cost of ownership while keeping
your car on the road.
Service intervals for the Cayenne
models are dependent on a range
of factors, including local fuel 
quality. For full details of service
intervals in your country/region,
please consult the relevant price 
list or contact your Porsche Centre.
Materials and recycling.
Owning a Porsche should be a 
lasting pleasure with minimal
impact on the environment. That’s
why every Porsche is built to
endure both technically and in
terms of design. The lightweight
exhaust on the Cayenne models,
for example, is constructed from
long-life stainless steel.
Weight reduction is a fundamental
part of the Porsche design philoso-
phy. By using a greater proportion
of high-strength materials, e.g.,
special steels, cast aluminium
alloys and synthetic materials, we
have successfully reduced the
weight of each car and therefore
its fuel consumption. Every produc-
tion process we use at Porsche 
is designed with the environment 
in mind. Also, every Porsche model
is 
entirely free of asbestos, CFCs
and 
components manufacturedusing 
CFCs. All legal requirements
in respect of recycling are fulfilled.
Materials are labelled in accordance
with VDA 260, enabling better 
recycling of end-of-life vehicles and
individual parts and assemblies.
While more than 85 % of the car 
can be recycled using current 
technologies, the chances are 
your new Cayenne may never need
recycling at all. After all, two thirds
of all the cars we have ever made
are still on the road today.

Comfort, ergonomics and security.
Anti-theft protection.
The Cayenne models are all
equipped as standard with an
engine immobiliser and anti-theft
alarm featuring ultrasonic interior
surveillance.
The alarm circuit includes all four
doors, engine lid, tailgate, rear
screen, interior, ignition and trailer
(if fitted).
The immobiliser system works by
automatically communicating with
the vehicle key. If the key is ap-
proved, the engine can be started
as normal.
When the key is removed from the
ignition, the steering column is
automatically locked to provide
additional security.
Porsche Entry & Drive.
With this optional system, you can
reduce the inconvenience of a con-
ventional key.
The moment you touch the door
handle
, the system automatically
checks the encrypted access code
on the key in your pocket. If the
code is accepted, the doors are
unlocked. To start or stop the
engine, simply push the ignition 
button.
To lock the car on leaving, all you
have to do is press a button on the
outside of the door handle. Porsche
Entry & Drive then secures the car
doors, arms the immobiliser and
locks the steering column.
Preparation for vehicle 
tracking system.
This optional preparation available
for all Cayenne models enables
future installation of a vehicle
tracking system obtainable from
Porsche Tequipment. The  system
can be used to locate a stolen
vehicle across much of Europe.
Includes special wiring loom,
higher capacity battery (depend-
ing on vehicle specification) and 
tilt sensor for the alarm system.
Cruise control.
Standard on the Cayenne Turbo
and optional on all other models,
cruise control offers increased
comfort on long-distance journeys.
It can be used at speeds between
30 and 240 km / h (19 and 149 mph)
and is activated using a button on
one of the control stalks.

Five discrete audio channels (front
left, front right, centre, surround 
left and surround right) plus a low-
frequency effects channel provide 
naturalistic sound with precise spatial
location of voices, instruments,
sound effects, etc., at the front 
and rear of the car. A 360-degree
soundstage, its realistic 3D audio is comparable with a concert hall 
or cinema.
Naturally, you can also play 
conventional CDs, either in stereo
mode or as surround sound 
generated by the patented BOSE®
Centerpoint®technology. The 
new Centerpoint
®II algorithm 
takes the standard stereo signal
and generates a more precise and
realistic surround sound output.
BOSE
®SurroundStage®signal 
processing assigns each audio
channel to a combination of 
speakers to achieve a more 
balanced surround sound at all 
seat positions.
Of course, there’s more to the
BOSE®Surround Sound System 
than exceptional surround sound
a 410-Watt 10-channel digital
amplifier to produce a powerful
sound experience.
The system supports digital 5.1
surround sound on audio and video
DVDs to create a lifelike audio 
environment.
The optional BOSE®Surround Sound
System (standard in the Cayenne
Turbo) was specially developed 
to Porsche specifications and 
custom-engineered for the Cayenne
models. A total of 14 loudspeakers
(including active subwoofer and
centre-fill speaker) combine with

alone. All audio output is precisely
engineered for the specific interior
acoustics of the Cayenne models.
The dynamic loudness function 
automatically enhances the lower
frequencies in low-volume sound 
in order to compensate for the
reduced sensitivity of the human
ear at this end of the spectrum.
AudioPilot
®noise compensation
technology uses a microphone in
the cockpit to monitor ambient
sound. The system is then able 
to provide real-time adjustment 
of all audio output for a more 
consistent sound experience.

you’ll appreciate even more the
powerful capability of the Cayenne
range of engines.
For the largest of loads, you can
choose from two towing options:
an electrically retractable towbarsystem or a manually detachable
towbar. With the electric system,
the ball neck can be retracted
beneath the rear apron – all at 
the push of a button. Both options
are available for all Cayenne 
models, have a maximum braked
trailer load of 3,500 kg* (with a
maximum noseweight of 140 kg)
and come with a 13-pole socket.
All Cayenne models have a towbar
preparation as standard.
This exceptional capability is
enough for virtually every type 
of load. Even another Porsche.
Towbar systems.
Whatever your passion, all four
Cayenne models offer a wealth 
of possibilities that go beyond 
the pleasure of driving. When fully
laden or with a heavy trailer load,
Roof transport systems.
Even when the luggage compartment
is completely full, the Cayenne has
space for more. Using the standard
roof rails, the car can be equipped
with an optional roof transport 
system. It is compatible with all the
usual load-carrying attachments
available from Porsche Tequipment,
e.g., ski/snowboard carriers and
roof boxes. All load-bearing parts
are made from robust aluminium
and designed for a maximum loadof 100 kg. The optional roof 
rails
can also be combined with 
a set of transverse roof bars 
from Porsche Tequipment, offering
a maximum load of 75 kg.
Transport
The Cayenne is built to carry many things.
Even another Porsche.
