PORSCHE CAYNNE 2008 1.G Information Manual

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.
Slide /tilt sunroof.
Available as an option on all
Cayenne models, the slide/tilt
sunroof is made from tinted
single-pane safety glass and has
a manually adjustable sunscreen.
The roof position is easily adjusted
using a single illuminated rotary
control. The sunroof also has
an anti-jam facility, as do all the
electric windows.
Comfort lighting package.
One of the special features in this
optional package is the ‘Welcome
Home’ lighting function. When you
arrive at a destination after dark,
the headlights remain
illuminated

for a user-defined period, lighting
your path from the car. Other
features include courtesy lights
on both exterior
mirrors, auto-
matic headlight activation and
automatically dimming interior
and exterior mirrors.

In every direction.
Panoramic roof system.
The electrically operated
panoramic roof system is available
as an option on all Cayenne models.
Made from laminated safety glass,
it has a total surface area of
approximately 1.4 square metres –
almost four times larger than the
optional slide/tilt sunroof. Even
when closed, it provides a unique
‘open-top’ driving experience. The
panoramic view can be enjoyed
from all seat positions in every
type of weather.
A key advantage of the panoramic
roof system is its variability. The
roof consists of three movable
segments (1 – 3) and one fixedsegment (4). When the roof is
opened, the forward segment (1)
tilts upwards to act as a wind
deflector. Even at high speed
it helps reduce turbulence and
noise. The two middle segments
(2 and 3) can be opened
separately to provide a stream
of fresh air to the front or rear.For the ultimate open-top driving
experience, both central segments
can be fully retracted to the rear.
It is also possible to tilt segment
3 (above rear seats) to provide
additional ventilation. In all, there
are 15 roof settings to choose
from.
An electrically operated sunscreen
protects the interior against direct
sunlight.
The roof settings are
selected using a single illuminated
rotary control located on the roof
console. When the car is stationary,
it can also be operated using the
ignition key in the door lock.

The Cayenne, Cayenne S and the
Cayenne GTS are equipped with
the CDR-30 CD radio as standard.
The Cayenne Turbo has Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM – see page 132) and the
BOSE
® Surround Sound System
(see page 136).
The new CDR-30 CD radio.
Standard equipment in the Cayenne,
Cayenne S and Cayenne GTS,
the new 2-DIN CDR-30 CD radio
combines excellent sound with
exceptional ease of use. The
package includes an MP3-compatible
CD drive, 12 loudspeakers and
4 x 25-Watt internal amplifiers. The
5-inch monochrome display offers
excellent visibility and a clear layout –
especially when operating a con-
nected Bluetooth
®mobile phone
(telephone preparation available
as option). Other options available
in conjunction with the CDR-30
include an integrated six-disc
CD autochanger (easily accessible
from either front seat) and an
Aux-In port in the lower storage
compartment in the centre console
for connecting an external audio
source. The CDR-30 can also be
combined with the BOSE®
Surround Sound System for the
ultimate in sound performance.
Mobile phone preparation.
With this optional preparation,
you can connect a Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Profile (HFP)-compatible
mobile phone* and use PCM
or the CDR-30 CD radio as a
hands-free system. As a Bluetooth®-
based solution, you can connect
your handset without even taking
it from your pocket. The basic
phone functions are accessible via
the PCM/CDR-30 head unit, multi-
function steering
wheel or voice
control. Connection to the mobile
phone network is via
the handset
antenna.**

CD/DVD autochanger.
This optional integrated CD/DVD
autochanger replaces the standard
single-disc drive in the CDR-30
CD radio or PCM (DVDs playable
only in PCM). The front-loading
device holds up to six CDs/DVDs
and is easily accessible from
either front seat. Operated using
the standard head unit controls.

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

The Cayenne models use power
and performance for more than
just driving pleasure. All four cars
have a large and variable rear
luggage compartment with power
closing tailgate as standard.
An automatic tailgate is available
as an option. The luggage
compartment has a total volume
of 540 litres (VDA), i.e., more than
enough space for up to four large
suitcases. The loadspace floor is
completely flat and the tailgate
sill is low. When the rear seats
are folded flat on vehicles with
sports seats (featuring comfort
memory package), the larger side
bolsters create a slope of approx.
15º relative to the loadspace floor.
Even when the car is fully laden
(see page 188), the self-levelling
air suspension (standard on
Cayenne Turbo; optional on other
models) maintains a constant
ground clearance at front and
rear.
The air suspension package
includes ride-height adjustment,
enabling the car to be lowered
by approximately 54 mm* below
the normal ride level for easier
loading of heavy items. When
moving off, the suspension
automatically reverts to the
standard ride-height setting
(Normal Level).
When the rear backrest is folded
forward, the loadspace expands
to as much as 1,770 litres**
(VDA). Items can be stored out
of view and protected from the
sun using a retractable cover in
a detachable storage cassette.
Two additional storage spaces
(one on vehicles with four-zone
air conditioning) are discreetly
concealed behind the side trim
panels in the luggage compart-
ment (volume may vary depending
on optional equipment).
Even when loaded to the
maximum weight, each Cayenne
model remains agile, responsive
and easy to control.
