OFF-ROAD button.
Would you like to try roads that aren’t
actually there? A but ton on the centre
console sets your Macan to OFF-ROAD
mode. All relevant systems switch to a
traction- optimised program for off-road
terrain. The optional air suspension
including PASM automatically adjusts to
Terrain Level. In addition, optional
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)
and Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
– integrated as standard – optimally
adapt their set-up for off-road use,
delivering improved driveability and
safety.
PTM, which is also fit ted as standard,
provides a fully variable distribution of
drive force bet ween the front and rear axles – up to 100
% if necessary. This
delivers a crucial increase in traction and
driving safety.
Standard in all Macan models.
Porsche Hill Control (PHC).
A but ton on the centre console enables
you to activate Porsche Hill Control
(PHC), which keeps your speed constant
on downhill gradients. You can set any
speed bet ween 3 and 30 km/ h.
Standard in all Macan models.
Steering.
The steering has been engineered for
sporty and immediate handling. The
tuning of the electromechanical steering
system is what makes the Macan models
so extraordinarily agile. It also contributes to low fuel
consumption. As there is no hydraulic
system constantly drawing power, energy
is consumed only when the steering is
turned.
Power steering Plus.
Optional Power steering Plus is a speed-
sensitive power steering system. At high
speeds, the steering firms up and
responds with greater precision, while
steering comfort remains outstanding. At
low speeds, the steering ratio adjusts for
easy manoeuvring and parking.
On the odd occasion,

even a Porsche doesn’t seem out of place.

Life can’t be truly intense without some twists and turns.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
Sports car makers adore corners. With
our technologies, we are forever fanning
the flames of the relationship. PT V Plus
is an optional system for enhancing both
driving dynamics and stability.
Operating in conjunction with an
electronically regulated rear differential
lock, it works by varying the torque
distribution to the rear wheels. When the
car is driven into a corner, moderate
brake pressure is applied to the inside
rear wheel as the situation demands.
Consequently, a greater amount of drive
force is distributed to the outside rear
wheel, inducing an additional rotational
pulse (yaw movement) around the
vehicle’s vertical axis. The effect is a
direct and sport y steering action. And
considerable driving pleasure at every
t wist and turn. At low and medium vehicle speeds, PT V
Plus significantly increases agilit y and
steering precision. At high speeds on the
straight, and in fast corners where the
wheels threaten to spin, the electronically
controlled rear differential lock provides
added driving stability. Stability is also
improved on road surfaces with varying
grip as well as in the wet and snow.
Optional for all Macan models.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package adds a
stopwatch with an analogue and a digital
display to the cockpit. The performance
display in PCM lets you view a range of
driving stats, including your total driving
time, current lap distance and lap times
recorded so far. The lateral and
longitudinal forces acting on the vehicle
are illustrated by the G -Force graphic on
the colour screen in the instrument
c l u s t e r.The centre console also comes equipped
with the SPORT PLUS but ton, which is
used to activate SPORT PLUS mode. In
this mode, the engine becomes even
more responsive and the rev limiter is
adjusted to a harder set ting. Porsche
Traction Management (PTM) is now tuned
for even sportier performance. For cars
with Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), SPORT PLUS mode
results in harder damping and more
direct steering. In addition, the trigger
threshold for PSM is raised for increased
longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The
shift times of PDK, fit ted as standard,
become even shorter, the gear changes
even sportier. The optional air suspension
automatically drops to Low Level. Launch
Control is primed to deliver optimum
acceleration from a standing start.

Optional for all Macan models.

Even if you take life as it comes, you can still be prepared.

Safety.
Bi-Xenon main headlights including
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Bi-Xenon main headlights feature
automatic and dynamic range control,
which provides uniform illumination of the
road whether dipped or main beam is
selected. The dynamic cornering light
function swivels the headlights towards
the inside of a bend based on the
steering angle and road speed. The
static cornering lights activate the
auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate
more of the road at tight bends and
turns. Put simply, a greater part of the
road ahead is illuminated the moment
you enter a bend. In addition, PDLS adjusts the range of
the dipped beams at higher speeds. An
adverse weather function reduces the
effect of reflection phenomena in poor
visibility conditions.
Standard in the Macan
Turbo. Optional for
all other Macan models.
Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(P D L S+).
Optional PDLS+ offers t wo additional
functions. The dynamic main beam
feature adapts the headlight range to
oncoming traffic and to traffic in front.
Whenever you approach an intersection,
the Intersection Assistant activates the
static cornering lights on the left and right to widen the light cone. This
provides better illumination in the area
immediately around the vehicle, and you
see what ’s going on around you all the
sooner.
Optional for all Macan models.
Daytime running lights.
Daytime running lights are standard on all
models. On cars with halogen headlights,
this function is implemented by the inner
headlight. On cars with Bi-Xenon main
headlights, the stunning light source is
four LED spotlights in each headlight. The
benefit is clear. If other road users can
see you bet ter, day time driving becomes
a safer experience.

Taillights.
The three-dimensional design of the LED
taillights pays homage to the 918 Spyder
super sports car and lends an impressive
appearance of depth. At the same time,
they are especially responsive and
powerful – and that means added safet y.
In the event of panic braking, the
adaptive LED brake lights begin to
pulsate, alerting following traffic more
quickly to a critical situation. The third
brake light is integrated into the roof
spoiler.

You aren’t usually so quick to brake.
Brakes.
At Porsche, we also set ourselves high
standards for braking performance. So it
goes without saying that our brake
systems are super-sized and adapted to
the high power output of the engine.
At the front, the Macan models are
equipped with six-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed brake calipers. The brake
discs are internally vented for consistently
high braking power, even during
continuous use.
To cope with the performance capabilit y
of the Macan models, the brake discs
fit ted to the front axle are up to 360 mm
in diameter. The brake calipers of the Macan S Diesel
and Macan S are silver- coloured. On the
Macan Turbo – red.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
As an option, you can have your Macan
equipped with the track-proven Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).
The cross- drilled ceramic brake discs
have a diameter of 396 mm at the front
axle and a thickness of 38 mm. At the
rear, they are 370 mm in diameter and
30 mm thick.
Their low thermal expansion prevents
deformation under heavy braking.
Furthermore, the ceramic brake discs are
totally resistant to corrosion and offer more favourable noise-damping
properties.
The key advantage is that the brake
discs are approximately 50
% lighter than
standard discs of similar design and size.
Enhanced performance and fuel economy
are not the only noticeable benefits:
above all, it represents a major reduction
in unsprung and rotating masses. The
results are improved handling, bet ter
roadholding and increased ride comfort.
Optional for all Macan models.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM is an electronic control system that
maintains stability – and increases
driving safet y – even at the limits of
sporty performance. Sensors continuously monitor driving
direction, speed, yaw velocit y and lateral
acceleration. PSM
actively intervenes to
stabilise the vehicle when necessary by
strategically applying the brakes at
individual wheels. That ’s not all. If the
driver suddenly releases the accelerator
pedal, PSM primes the brake system for
a higher state of readiness. Maximum
braking power is therefore achieved
much sooner. The integral anti-lock
braking system (ABS) is optimised for
short braking distances.
Standard in all Macan models.

Efficiency.
The basic premise of any Porsche is
power. It ’s been that way ever since
1948. But there has always been another
principle: efficiency. Again, since 1948.
We remain commit ted to both, and we
always will.
In addition to our pursuit of efficient
engine technologies, such as the
turbochargers used across the model
range, we routinely rely on innovative,
lightweight materials, we are constantly
developing our production techniques
and functionalities and, as we do so, we
are continuously refining our concepts.
How does this benefit you as the driver?
Greater agilit y with increased dynamic
performance – and lower fuel
consumption. Now that’s efficiency.
Exhaust emissions.
The Macan once again demonstrates that
even high-performance sports cars can
achieve comparatively moderate
emission values. The state-of-the-art
engines of the Macan model range reach
their optimum operating temperature
soon after start-up, thanks to the rapid
heating of the catalytic converter
system. Emissions are thereby reduced,
while t yres optimised for low rolling
resistance play their part by lowering fuel
consumption. All models in the Macan
range fulfil the Euro 6 emission standard.
The petrol models are equipped with
stereo Lambda control circuits. These
are used by the electronic engine
management system to determine the
optimum amount of fuel for effective
emission control.

Living for today, in the here and now.
But always caring about tomorrow.

Environment.
Emission control in the Macan S Diesel is
realised by the interaction of a diesel
particulate filter and the SCR system.
AdBlue
® technology helps to achieve a
significant reduction in nitrogen oxide
emissions.
Fuel and fuel consumption.
Doing more with comparatively less –
another philosophy that the Macan
models live and breathe. The petrol
models are designed to operate on fuels
with an ethanol content of up to 10%.
Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO
2
balance because this biofuel is
manufactured from plants, which absorb
CO
2 from the atmosphere in order to
grow.
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.

to digital radio stations. The CD/ DVD
drive supports the following formats:
CDs, MP3 files and audio DVDs.
Integrated into PCM, the optional CD/ DVD
autochanger holds up to six CDs or
DVDs. The navigation module with high-speed
hard drive displays maps in 2D or from a
driving perspective. Even 3D rendering is
available in some regions. The route
guidance calculation takes into
consideration official traffic messages
(TMC) and data from traffic flow sensors
(TMC Pro)
1). In addition, speed limits
stored in the navigation database are
displayed in PCM and on the TFT screen
of the instrument cluster. In conjunction
with optional online services, it is
possible to find online destinations and
conveniently transfer them to the

Telephone module.
The optional quadband GSM telephone
module offers convenience and excellent
reception. With a SIM card inserted
directly into PCM’s integral SIM card
reader, calls can be made using the
hands-free facility. For even more
convenience, the Bluetooth
® capability of
a mobile phone can be used to make
calls via the SIM Access Profile (SAP).
Once the Bluetooth
® connection has
been established, the mobile phone’s
aerial is switched off to conserve bat tery
charge and the phone operates via the
car aerial. Depending on the mobile
phone model, this gives access not only
to the numbers on the SIM card, but also
to the phone’s internal memory.
Depending on the phone, it can also be
controlled using PCM, the multifunction
sports steering wheel or the voice
control system.

The telephone module enables you to
establish a Bluetooth
® link with those
mobile phones that only support the
