Personality | Comfort
In the new Panamera and
Panamera 4 models and in the
Panamera S and 4S, a total out -
put of 235 wat ts is produced
through a combination of 11 loud -
speakers. Fit ted as standard in
the Panamera Turbo, the BOSE
®
Surround Sound System (p. 114)
enables the playing of audio
sources in the Dolby Digital 5.1
format. For an even greater sound
experience, PCM can be combined
with the optional Burmester®
High - End Surround Sound System
(p. 116).
In conjunction with the PCM,
an optionally available universal
audio interface enables you to
connect an iPod® or any other
compatible MP3 player via the
USB port.* An AUX interface for
connecting other audio sources is
also provided. An optional hybrid
T V tuner is capable of receiving
free-to -air analogue and digital
broadcasts. PCM can also be
used to control the performance
display of the optional Sport
Chrono Package Plus (p. 74) or
Sport Chrono Package Turbo
(p. 76). A navigation module with high-
speed hard drive is included with
PCM. For route guidance, it is
possible to select bet ween a 2D
display and a new 3D perspec
-
tive. In some regions, it is even
possible for buildings and terrain
superimposed with a satellite
image overlay to be displayed in
3D. The remaining journey dis -
tance is automatically adapted to
the maximum screen size. Split -
screen mode enables you to view
t wo functions at once, such as
the current navigation map and
list of symbols representing your
next driving instructions.
Voice control system.
Do you require navigation assist -
ance, need to make a phone
call or simply want to listen to the
radio? Then why not just say so?
The optional voice control system
for PCM is at your command with
support for word-by-word input.
You can even browse through lists
by voice command.
Electronic logbook.
An electronic logbook is available
for PCM as an option. It enables
automatic logging on every journey
of mileage, route distance, date,
time, starting location and desti -
nation. The soft ware fulfils all
statutory requirements for auto -
matic logbooks as specified by
the German revenue authorities.
Telephone module.
Available as an option for the
Panamera and Panamera 4 (stand-
ard on Panamera S, Panamera 4S
and Panamera Turbo), the GSM
telephone module offers conven -
ience and excellent reception.
By inserting a SIM card directly
into PCM’s integral SIM card
reader, calls can be made using
either the hands-free facilit y or
the cordless handset. For even
more convenience, the Bluetooth®
capabilit y of a mobile phone can
be used to make calls through the
SIM Access Profile (SAP). Once
automatic pairing is complete, the
mobile phone’s aerial is switched
of f to conserve bat ter y charge
and the phone operates via the car aerial. Depending on the t ype
of mobile phone, this gives access
not only to the numbers on the
SIM card, but also to the phone’s
internal memory. Also, depending
on the phone, it can be controlled
using PCM, the multifunction
steering wheel or the voice con -
trol system, without it ever leaving
your pocket.
In addition, the telephone module
enables you to establish a
Bluetooth® link with those mobile
phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this
case, the GSM connection is
always established through the
aerial of the mobile phone. PCM
acts as a hands-free system and
you can leave the mobile phone
tucked away. Please refer to the
note on page 159.
Stowed in the centre console, the
telephone module has a cordless
Bluetooth
® active handset with
display and keypad so that calls
can be made and received pri -
vately in the presence of other
passengers. However, the handset
cannot be used for Bluetooth
®
links established using the Hands -
free Profile (HFP).

Can it be true that the passengers
in a Porsche actually want to listen
to music rather than the sound
of the engine? We understand your
scepticism, but we do have a
compelling solution: the BOSE®
Surround Sound System.
The BOSE® Surround Sound
System is fit ted as standard in
the Panamera Turbo and optional
across the rest of the Panamera
model range. The system comprises 9 amplifier
channels with a total output of
585 wat ts. Its 14 loudspeakers
and 200 -wat t active subwoofer
deliver a balanced acoustic pat tern
and transform your Panamera into
a concert hall.
In combination with Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM), the BOSE® Surround Sound
System enables playback of audio
DVDs and is thus able to make full use of the impressive sound
spectrum of 5.1 digital recordings.
Of course, you can still play other
audio sources such as CDs and
MP3s. In stereo, or at the push of
a but ton, in one of the virtual sur -
round modes generated by BOSE
®
Centerpoint
® 2.
The BOSE
®- patented AudioPilot®
Noise Compensation Technology
uses a microphone to continuously
measure the ambient noise inside
the vehicle and adapts music
playback automatically so that a
consistent sound is maintained –
whatever the driving conditions.
As an innovator in the field,
BOSE® has used its considerable
experience to adapt the system
specifically to the passenger
compartment of the Panamera.
Thanks to signal processing
technologies developed by BOSE®
for the automotive industry, it
has been possible to achieve opti -
mum acoustics by tailoring the system to suit the layout of the
vehicle interior.
The result is a balanced, faithfully
reproduced sound and captivating
360° acoustic experience deliv
-
ered to all four seat positions. It ’s just a pit y that, as the driver,
leaning back and closing your
eyes is not an option.
Your image of the world is also 360°.

The sound developed by our
research centre in Weissach is
amplified by a sound from Berlin.
We’re talking about Burmester
®,
a bespoke manufacturer based
in Berlin and one of the most re -
spected premium audio manufac -
turers worldwide. The Burmester
®
High - End Surround Sound System
is available as an option for all
Panamera models.
The technologies behind the
system are from the finest of
Burmester’s® premium home audio systems. State- of-the-art
and featured like this in a Porsche
for the first time. The extravagance
is uncompromising, the craf ts-
manship excellent, the sound
phenomenal. The system owes its
eminence to countless details,
and one goal: perfection in sound.
As early as the Panamera concept
phase, Porsche and Burmester
®
had already embarked on a close
collaboration in order to determine
the optimum installation locations
for the special loudspeakers.
Never before has such a large and
acoustically powerful total dia -
phragm surface area been used in
a production vehicle and integrated
to such perfection.
The system has 16 amplifier chan -
nels with a total output of more
than 1,000 wat ts, 16 loudspeakers
including an active subwoofer
with 300 -wat t class D amplifier,
a total diaphragm surface area of
more than 2,400 cm², and a
frequency response of 30 Hz to
20 kHz.
Conceptually, we have broken
en tire ly new ground. Typically
Porsche. Crossover technology
has been carried over more or
less unmodified from the home
audio sector. Analogue and digital
filters have been optimally defined
for their new installation location
and finely tuned af ter extensive
in-car audio testing.
The t weeters are ribbon -based
air motion transformers (AMT) that have been designed specifically
for the Panamera. For unmistak
-
ably fine, clear and undistorted
high-frequency sound reproduction
with excellent level stabilit y.
All loudspeaker housings are
perfectly matched and deliver
superior bass foundation, defini -
tion and impulse accuracy. As
yet unequalled, the result is a nat -ural and richly textured spatial
sound. All of which is achieved,
despite the system’s remarkably
low overall weight, thanks to

intelligent Burmester® light weight
technology.
The elegantly pure design with
galvanised surrounds and
Burmester® logos on selected loudspeakers make it clear that
the appeal of the Burmester
®
High - End Surround Sound System
is as much about the visual as it
is the audio.
‘Made in Germany’ is a sign of quality.
But, not just when it comes to sportscars.

® High-End Surround Sound System.

Climate control.
Climate control, with zonal regula -
tion in the front compartment, is
standard in all models. Tempera -
ture and airflow volume, speed
and direction can therefore be set
individually for the driver and front
passenger seat positions. An
active carbon filter traps particles,
pollen and odours and an auto -
matic air- recirculation function permanently monitors air qualit y,
reduces humidit y and switches
from fresh to recirculated air
when required. Even the glove
compartment is actively cooled
when necessary. With the ignition
switched of f, it is also possible
to use the residual heat of the
engine to heat the passenger
compartment for up to 20 min
-
utes. Four-zone climate control is avail
-
able for all models on request.
With this option, the driver has
access to separate controls for
both seat positions in the rear.
A control panel on the rear centre
console also enables the rear
passengers to select their own
climate control set tings for their
respective seat position, inde -
pendently of the set tings in the
front compartment.
Thermally and noise insulated
glass.
All Panamera models are equipped
as standard with tinted heat- insu -
lated glass and a grey top -tint
on the windscreen. Available as
an option is a thermally and noise
insulated glass for all round more
ef ficient reflection of infrared
radiation. Enjoy an even more pleasant climate and peace

and quiet in the passenger com -
partment.
Water-repellent side windows.
The front side windows of the
Panamera model range have been
treated with a water- repellent
coating so that not only water but also dirt runs away more easily,
thereby providing optimum visibil
-
it y even in poor weather. (Note:
surface finish requires occasional
renewal depending on vehicle
usage.)
You don’t need us to reiterate the correlation
between comfort and convenience.
Additional comfort and convenience features go hand in hand.

Wiper system with rain sensor.
The windscreen wiper system has
t wo wiper speeds with an inter-
mit tent wipe. A rain sensor fit ted
as standard controls the wipers automatically and with adjustable
sensitivit y. Three washer jets
spray washer fluid uniformly onto
the windscreen. A rear wiper is
available as an option.
HomeLink® (programmable
garage door opener).
As an option, it is possible to have
a programmable garage door
opener integrated into the over-
head console. At the push of a
but ton, it controls up to three
dif ferent garage doors, lighting
systems or alarm systems.
ParkAssist.
Park Assist is standard in all
Panamera models. With four
inconspicuous sensors in the rear
end, it audibly alerts the driver
when detecting an obstacle
behind the vehicle. An intermit tent
warning tone increases in rapidit y
as the obstacle is approached.
Convenient and safe.
An enhanced version of ParkAssist,
which includes six sensors in the
front end, is fit ted as standard in
the Panamera Turbo and available as an option in the other models.
The audible alert is supplemented
by a visual warning in the central
display screen which provides
a graphical representation of the
vehicle’s proximit y to obstacles.
Reversing camera.
The optional reversing camera
(only in conjunction with PCM and
Park Assist (front and rear)) facili
-
tates precise reverse parking and
manoeuvring and also assists in
hitching a trailer. Help is provided
in the form of the camera image
and the dynamic, superimposed
guidelines on the PCM screen,
which illustrate the predicted
course of the vehicle given the
current position of the steering
wheel.

Cruise control.
Cruise control is fit ted as stand -
ard for added driver comfort on
long stretches of road. Cruise
control operates in the 30 to
240 km/ h (20 –150 mph) speed
range and is selected using a
but ton on the steering column
control stalk.
Adaptive cruise control.
Available as an option, this en -
hanced version of cruise control
regulates the speed of your vehicle in line with the speed of
the vehicle in front. How does it
work? A radar sensor inside the
front centre air intake scans the
road ahead up to a distance of
200 m.
If you’ve selected a cruis
-
ing
speed but have begun to gain
on
the vehicle in front because
it is driving more slowly, this is
detected by the radar sensor.
The system now reduces the
speed of your vehicle at a maxi -
mum rate of 3.5 m/s² by restrict -
ing the throt tle or gently applying
the brakes. This continues until
the distance that you have preset
is maintained. Your vehicle will now
follow the one in front at a re -
duced speed. If the other vehicle
decelerates further, adaptive
cruise control will continue to
reduce your cruising speed –
even down to a halt. For increased
safet y, the system also readies
the brakes whenever a decreasing
distance to the vehicle in front is
detected. Adaptive cruise control
and PSM interact to precharge
the braking system. If heavier
braking is required, the driver will
have to intervene manually.
As soon as the road ahead clears,
your vehicle will accelerate back
up to the cruising speed originally
set. To pull away af ter an auto -
matic stop, simply press the con -
trol lever or depress the accelera -
tor pedal.
Slide/tilt sunroof.
The slide/tilt sunroof is available
as an option for all Panamera
models. It is made from tinted
toughened safet y glass and fea -
tures a manually adjustable sliding
sunscreen and remote closing
function.

Porsche Entry & Drive.
Standard in the Panamera Turbo
and optional for all other Panamera
models, Porsche Entry & Drive is recognisable from the chrome
surfaces on the door handles.
Fumbling for your key is now a
thing of the past.
Why? As soon as you touch the
door handle, the system auto
-
matically checks the encr ypted
access code on the key in your
pocket. Once the key is validated,
the door unlocks. The engine
can then be started and switched
of f using the electronic ignition
switch. To lock the vehicle, you simply
press a but ton on the outside of
the door handle. Porsche Entry &
Drive then locks the vehicle and
activates the engine immobiliser
and steering column lock.
Anti-theft protection.
As standard, the entire Panamera
model range is protected by

an immobiliser with in-key trans -
ponder, t wo -stage locking and
an alarm system with ultrasonic
interior surveillance. The system
secures all four doors, the bonnet,
the rear lid, the passenger
compartment, the ignition and
any trailer that may be at tached.
The immobiliser is activated and
deactivated following validation of
the key by the vehicle electronics.
If the key is approved, the engine
electronics authorise the engine
to start.
For additional securit y, as soon
as you remove the key, an electro -
mechanical lock engages the
steering column.

Four adults, luggage for four, one
sportscar. It really does work.
The luggage compartments in the
Panamera, Panamera 4, Panamera S
and Panamera 4S models have
a capacit y of 445 litres. In con -junction with the BOSE
® Surround
Sound System or Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System,
they of fer 432 litres of luggage
space, equal to the luggage
capacit y of the Panamera Turbo.
Ample space for four suitcases from the Porsche Design Driver’s
Selection range, for example.
What makes the storage space
special is that the four suitcases
can be stowed in such a way
that you can remove whichever
one you choose with ease – no reshuf fling required. They can
then be concealed using the
retractable
luggage compartment
cover (fitted
as standard) or
the optional re movable luggage
compartment cover.
The key to this solution is the
extraordinary height of the
luggage compartment achieved
through the special geometry
of the rear lid and the large rear
screen. The wide opening angle of
the rear lid facilitates convenient
loading.
A rarely encountered feature
in this vehicle class is the fully
or split-folding rear seats. In the
cargo position, the available
luggage capacit y in the new
Panamera and Panamera 4 mod -
els and in the Panamera S and 4S
increases to 1,263 litres. In con -
junction with the BOSE
® Surround
Sound System or Burmester®
High-End Surround Sound System,
the luggage compartment has a
capacit y of 1,250 litres, equal to
that of the Panamera Turbo. The
Panamera and Panamera S have a
total payload of up to 605 kg, the
Panamera 4 and 4S 580 kg and
the Panamera Turbo 530 kg.

Perhaps even more important than
its capacit y alone is the luggage
compartment ’s versatilit y. The rear
seats fold independently, allowing
various transport configurations
– even if one of the rear seats is
occupied. Stowage nets in the
side trim panels are provided
for smaller items. A ski bag is available as an option and, to
accommodate it, the centre
section bet ween the rear seats
folds separately.
In the back: lots of room.
Right at the back: even more.
