Making headway without getting in a spin.
An approach we thoroughly support.
Chassis.
In of f­road terrain, PT V Plus
reduces wheel spin on the rear
wheels – even when towing heav y
trailer loads. The electronically
controlled rear dif ferential can
be fully locked using the of f ­road
control on the centre console.
Optional for the new Cayenne,
new Cayenne S and new
Cayenne Turbo.
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping
control system. It of fers con­
tinuous adjustment of individual
damping forces based on current
road conditions and driving st yle.
During performance driving or
heav y of f ­road use, there is an
increased tendency for the body
to sway. PASM prevents this from
happening, thereby improving
stabilit y and occupant comfort. PASM has three setup modes:
‘Comfort ’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport ’.
Whichever one you select, the
system uses a series of sensors
to monitor the movement of the
body. It also gathers data on
lateral acceleration, steering
angle, brake pressure and engine
torque and modifies the damping
force on each individual wheel

in accordance with the selected
mode. PASM remains active at all times.
It automatically adapts to the
prevailing driving conditions,

enabling greater car control and
improving comfort and safet y.
Optional for the new Cayenne,
new Cayenne Diesel, new
Cayenne S and new Cayenne S
Hybrid. Standard on the new
Cayenne Turbo: air suspension
with PASM.
This transfers drive torque to the
outside rear wheel which supports
the steering motion of the car,
thereby improving its cornering
dynamics.
At slow and medium speeds, PT V
Plus considerably enhances agilit y
and steering precision. At high
speeds, during fast cornering and
under wheel spin, the mechanical
limited ­slip rear differential
ensures additional stabilit y. Also
on variable ­grip surfaces, in the
wet and on snow, PT V Plus –
combined with Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) and Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM) –
provides a major contribution to
active safety.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
A new system for enhancing
driving dynamics and stabilit y,
PT V Plus offers variable distribu ­
tion of engine torque to the rear
wheels and mechanical limited ­
slip rear dif ferential. Depending
on the steering angle, steering
speed, throt tle pedal position,
yaw velocit y and vehicle speed,
PT V Plus optimises steering re ­
sponse and precision by applying
brake pressure to the left or right
rear wheel, as required.
Specifically, this means that when
entering a corner at high speed,
moderate brake pressure is
applied to the inside rear wheel.

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.

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.

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,
yaw velocit y and lateral

the doors are unlocked and
you can step inside. To start or
stop the engine, simply push
the ignition but ton.
When you leave the car, all you
have to do is press a but ton on
the outside of the door handle.
Porsche Entry & Drive then locks
the car, arms the immobiliser
and locks the steering column.
Optional for all new Cayenne
models.
Anti-theft protection.
The new Cayenne models are all
equipped as standard with an
engine immobiliser and anti ­thef t
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 approved, the engine can be
started as normal.
Washer fluid is delivered via t wo
heated jets, ensuring uniform
coverage of the entire windscreen
area.
The rear wiper system is designed
for maximum visibilit y in all
conditions.

Preparation for vehicle
tracking system.
This preparation enables future
installation of a vehicle tracking
system obtainable from Porsche
Tequipment. The system can
be used to locate a stolen vehicle
in 25 EU countries as well as
Norway, Switzerland and Russia –
irrespective of where you live. The vehicle is not tracked con­
tinually, only when the alarm is
triggered. In the event of vehicle
thef t or manipulation, or if the
loss of the vehicle is reported by
the owner, a silent alarm is auto
­
matically triggered. The package
includes a special wiring loom,
higher capacit y bat tery (depend ­
ing on vehicle specification) and
tilt sensor for the alarm system.
