brake light PORSCHE CAYNNE 2010 1.G Information Manual

When we launched the first
Cayenne in 2002, it was met with
great scepticism. Can it still be
considered a Porsche at all? Our
reply: never before in the history
of the company, has a model
gone from 0 to 100,000 sold
units so quickly. And even more
importantly, the Cayenne has
conquered the SUV market by
demonstrating that exceptional
sportscar performance is not
just restricted to the road.
The basic concept is therefore
the same. We’ve just continued to
improve it: the new Cayenne is
now lighter – up to 165 kg1) depend­
ing
on the specification – and also
more dynamic, more comfortable,
and closer to the road than ever
before. Without detracting from
the
qualities required for off ­road
driving or towing heav y loads.
Its naturally aspirated 3.6 ­litre
V6 engine features direct fuel
injection (DFI, p. 38), variable
valve timing on both inlet and
exhaust, and a variable resonance
intake manifold – for a generous
output and excellent fuel
economy. In other words: we have enhanced the performance,
while significantly lowering the
weight, fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions. The figures speak for
themselves: maximum torque of
400 Nm, 220 kW (300 hp), a top
speed of 230 km/ h (143 mph)
and the abilit y to accelerate from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) in
7.5 se conds. With both fuel con­
sumption and CO
2 emissions

reduced by 20 %.
1), 2) Delivering
this power to the road efficiently,
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 44) combines active all ­
wheel drive
with an electron ically
variable

multi ­plate clutch, auto ­
matic brake dif ferential (ABD) and
anti ­slip regulation (ASR). PTM
ensures the perfect distribution of
drive torque to all four wheels,
whether on long straights, through
tight corners or on surfaces with
dif ferent friction coef ficients: for
dynamic handling
and increased
traction. Drive is transmit ted
through a high ­performance

six ­speed manual gearbox (p. 42),
which ensures optimum progres ­
sion through the gears. The gear
lever throw is short and precise,
with only minimal driver ef fort
required. In addition to the standard
18
­inch Cayenne wheels and
new larger brakes, the Cayenne
can be fit ted with the optional
Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB, p. 64) – for out ­
standing brake performance.
Another key advantage: a total
weight saving of approximately
50 % compared with equivalent
cast ­iron discs.
The generous standard equipment
includes partial ­leather seats,
climate control, the CDR ­31 audio
system with touchscreen, cruise
control and automatic headlight
activation. For added comfort,
there’s also a ‘Welcome Home’
lighting function. When you arrive
at a destination af ter dark, the
headlights remain illuminated for
a user ­defined period, lighting
your path from the car.
In terms of enhancing the
agility
and practicalit y of the
new
Cayenne, the goal we set

ourselves was very clear: even
more Porsche. Let ’s be honest,
would you have expected any ­
thing else?
Everything has changed. Apart from the concept.

Standard on the new Cayenne
Diesel, new Cayenne S, new
Cayenne S Hybrid and new

Cayenne Turbo. Available as an
option for the new Cayenne
in conjunction with the optional
Tiptronic S.
VarioCam Plus.
VarioCam Plus creates t wo en ­
gines out of one by steplessly
adjusting the inlet valve timing
and lift.
The system dif ferentiates
bet ween normal road usage and
performance driving, adapting
seamlessly as driver inputs
change. All functions are auto ­
matically controlled by the

engine management system.
All you experience is responsive
acceleration and ultra ­smooth
running characteristics. Inlet valve
timing is steplessly adjusted. To
improve response when starting
from cold, for example, VarioCam
Plus selects the higher lif t set ting
and retards valve timing.
At medium revs and minimal
load, the valve lif t is lowered and
timing advanced to minimise fuel
consumption and emissions. At
low engine speeds in particular,
VarioCam Plus significantly im ­
proves fuel economy. To achieve maximum power and torque, the
valve lif t is raised and the timing
advanced.
Overall, the system provides
greater performance with rela­
tively modest fuel consumption.
Standard on the new Cayenne S
and new Cayenne Turbo.
Variable valve timing.
The V6 engine in the Cayenne
features variable valve timing
on both inlet and exhaust. The camshaft phase angles

are continuously varied by

the engine management system
via rotary ­vane adjusters.
On the new Cayenne S Hybrid, the
inlet valve timing is continuously
adjusted.
The key benefits include bet ter
fuel economy and lower emis ­
sions. It also helps to generate
greater power and torque –
even at low engine speeds.
Standard on the new Cayenne
and new Cayenne S Hybrid.
The starter motor has been re
­
vised to cope with the additional
demands of the system, and
the bat tery charge and life are
continuously monitored. The
bat tery and starter motor are
replacement parts that are
subject to greater wear and
tear with frequent use of the
auto start /stop function.

systems remain switched on and
the standard climate control

continues to maintain the selected
temperature. The only changes
you’ll perceive: peace and quiet
and – thanks to greater fuel
economy – also peace of mind.
The system is deactivated in
certain situations, e.g. if the
outside temperature is very

high or the bat tery charge is low.
Auto start/stop function.
The new Cayenne models that
are equipped with the new eight ­
speed Tiptronic S also feature an
auto start /stop function. If, for
example, you stop at traf fic lights
with your foot on the brake pedal,
the auto start /stop function will
automatically cut the engine.

headlights provide more uniform
illumination of the road in both
dipped and high ­beam mode.
The dynamic cornering light
function swivels the headlights
towards the inside of a bend
based on the current steering
angle and road speed. The static
cornering lights activate the
auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate more of the road in
tight bends and turns.
PDLS also features speed
­
sensitive headlight control and
an adverse weather function,

which is activated in conjunction
with the rear foglight – for even
greater safet y, not just at night
and during cornering.
Standard on the new Cayenne
Turbo. Optional for all other
new Cayenne models.
Daytime running lights.
Fit ted as standard on all new
Cayenne models: LED day time
running lights. On the new
Cayenne, Cayenne Diesel,
Cayenne S and Cayenne S
Hybrid, these are arranged hori ­
zontally in the front light units, whereas on the Cayenne Turbo
each headlight unit has four

LED spotlights. Day time running
lights improve safet y in the
day time as they make you more
visible to other road users.
Taillights.
LED technology is used for
all functions on the new rear
light modules. For an ultra ­fast
response and greater luminance.
In short: for greater safet y.
In an emergency stop, the
adaptive LED brake lights on
the new Cayenne models pulsate
to alert the traf fic behind more
quickly to a critical situation.
The high ­level third brake light is
integrated into the roof spoiler.
Automatic headlight activation.
The headlights are automatically
switched on when darkness sets
in or when driving through a tun ­
nel in the day time. Other features
include an automatic switch ­of f
and ‘Welcome Home’ function –
when you arrive at a destination
after dark, the headlights remain
illuminated for a user ­defined
period, lighting your path from
the car.
It ’s always a pleasure taking
corners in a Porsche. Especially
when they’re now so visible
at night. The striking lighting
arrangement is also instantly
recog
nisable. The lights on the
new Cayenne Turbo feature a
unique design that differs signifi ­
cantly from all other models.

All Cayenne models have internal­
ly vented discs all round, ensuring
consistent performance during
heav y use. The front disc dimen ­
sions (diameter/thickness) are
350 mm/34 mm on the new

Cayenne and new Cayenne Diesel,
360 mm/36 mm on the new
Cayenne S and new Cayenne S
Hybrid, and 390 mm/38 mm on
the new Cayenne Turbo. All models have six
­piston
monobloc aluminium brake
calipers at the front and four ­
piston equivalents at the rear.
The calipers are black on the new
Cayenne and new Cayenne Diesel
and silver on the new Cayenne S
and new Cayenne S Hybrid. On
the new Cayenne Turbo, they
feature a striking red paint finish. Braking is assisted by a tandem
booster and large brake master
cylinder. Further assistance is
provided by PSM (p. 66).
The pads are equipped with
individual wear sensors. When
new pads are required, a
warning light is illuminated in
the instrument cluster.
Electric parking brake.
Manually activated and deactivat ­
ed, the electric parking brake
releases automatically as you drive
off.
Automatic hold function.
With the automatic hold function,
you can pull away on the flat or a
slope without ever rolling back.
The system automatically detects
when the vehicle has come to a
halt on an uphill gradient. PSM then
maintains the brake pressure at all
four wheels for a brief period to
prevent the vehicle from moving in
the opposite direction.
Braking systems.
Porsche brakes are renowned
worldwide as the benchmark in
performance
and durabilit y.
Equipped with new braking
systems, the new Cayenne
models continue this tradition.
The larger brakes of fer excellent
deceleration – even when the
car is fully laden with five adult
occupants, a full complement
of luggage and a braked trailer
load of up to 3,500 kg (Cayenne
with manual gearbox: 2,700 kg).
Outstanding brake performance.
To the point.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
To do this, the engine manage­
ment system adjusts the gener­
ator current depending on the
brake pedal position, recovers
part of the kinetic energy and
stores it in the bat tery. When

the pressure on the brake pedal
exceeds a certain threshold, the
brakes are applied.
Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB).
Available as an option on all new
Cayenne models, the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
has already proven its abilit y to
cope with the harshest require ­
ments of the racetrack. It is
available in conjunction with
20 ­inch wheels or larger for the
Cayenne Turbo and with 19 ­inch
wheels or larger for all other
Cayenne models.
The cross ­drilled discs are
generously proportioned: on
the Cayenne Turbo they have
a diameter of 410 mm at the

front and 370 mm at the rear,
while on all other models they
measure 390 mm and 370 mm,
respectively.
The discs are made from a
specially treated carbon ­fibre
compound that is silicated
in a high ­vacuum process at
approximately 1,700 °C. The
resulting material is not only

much harder than cast iron, it
is also more resistant to heat. Even at high temperatures, the
thermal resistance of the PCCB
disc ensures outstanding dimen
­
sional stabilit y. The ceramic
material is totally resistant to
corrosion and offers excellent
acoustic damping properties.
PCCB enables shorter braking
distances – no mat ter how tough
the driving conditions. The pedal
response is fast and precise with
only moderate input required. Excellent fade resistance ensures
greater balance when slowing
from high speed.
The key advantage of PCCB is

a total weight saving of approxi ­
mately 50% compared with
equivalent cast ­iron discs. As well
as enhancing performance and
fuel economy, the unsprung and
rotating masses are lightened.
The results: greater comfort
and road ­holding on uneven road surfaces plus bet ter handling
and agility.
Optional for all new Cayenne
models.
Recuperation.
The electronic engine manage ­
ment system on the new Cayenne S
Hybrid controls the braking
process so that, when the brake
pedal is actuated, as much
expended energy as possible
can be harnessed by the electric
machine’s generator and stored
in the 288 ­Volt nickel metal
hydride (NiMH) bat tery. This is
referred to as recuperation.

PSM has three additional func­
tions that help reduce braking
distances. If the throt tle pedal
is released suddenly, PSM

automatically readies the braking
system. The pressure in the
brake lines is marginally increased,
bringing each of the pads into
light contact with the correspond ­
ing disc. If the driver goes on
to apply the brakes, the calipers
respond more quickly and the
braking distance is reduced. In an emergency stop – i.e. when
the pressure on the brake pedal
exceeds a certain threshold –
the brake assist function uses the
PSM hydraulics to apply maximum
braking force at all four wheels.
For added safet y, the system
also readies the brakes whenever
a decreasing distance to the
vehicle in front is detected. The
optional adaptive cruise control
and PSM interact to prefill the
brakes.
Even if adaptive cruise control is
inactive, the system registers the
speed of the vehicle in front and
automatically readies the braking
system. In addition, the system
alerts the driver to the decreasing distance by briefly tugging on
the brakes.
PSM also features a trailer
stabilisation function – for a
significant contribution to car
and trailer safet y.
Within the laws of physics, it
compensates for load transfer
caused by throt tle and brake

inputs up to the maximum degree
of lateral acceleration. It also en ­
hances the car’s driving dynamics
and directional stabilit y when
accelerating on inconsistent road
surfaces.
Other features include a special
control strategy in the ABS
for braking on loose surfaces.
By briefly locking the wheels, a wedge is formed ahead of each
t yre which provides additional
purchase to help slow the car,
e.g. on gravel or snow.
For a more involving driving

experience, PSM can also be
disabled, but remains active in
the background.
Standard on all new Cayenne
models.
accele

ration of the car. Using
this information, it is possible to
calculate the actual direction of
travel at any given moment. If
the car begins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective
braking on individual wheels to
restore stabilit y. If necessar y,
PSM can also intervene in the
engine management system to
temporarily modif y the amount of
drive transmit ted to the wheels.
Porsche Stability Management
(PSM).
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM) is an electronic control
system that uses a range of
functions – including anti ­lock
braking (ABS) – to help stabilise
the vehicle (and trailer, if fit ted)
in hazardous road scenarios.
Throughout each journey, sensors
monitor the direction, speed,
