Adaptive cruise control
Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with navigation module
Cruise control comes as standard
in all models, while adaptive cruise
control is available as an option
(p. 122). In order to maintain a
safe distance from the vehicle in
front, adaptive cruise control reg -
ulates the speed of your vehicle
in line with the distance bet ween
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead,
even down to a complete stop,
thereby relieving the strain on the
driver during long journeys.
Cut ting edge technology is also
featured in the Porsche Communi -
cation Management System (PCM, p. 108), which is fit ted as stand
-
ard on all models. It includes a
navigation
module with high-speed
hard drive,
high-resolution 7-inch
touchscreen,
optional voice con -
trol system with word-by-word
input, and a CD/ DVD-audio drive.
The sound of a Porsche is unique.
The audio systems must therefore
meet the highest standards.
The optional BOSE® Surround
Sound System (standard in the
Panamera Turbo, p. 114) offers
excellent sound qualit y. Available
as an option for all models is the High-End Surround Sound System
from Burmester® (p. 116), one

of the most respected premium
audio manufacturers worldwide.
Comfort and sportscar technol -
ogy side by side. Surprising
for many, perhaps. For you, it ’s
simply
Porsche.

SPORT button.
All Panamera models are
equipped with the SPORT but ton
as standard. This feature enables
the driver to vary the engine
characteristics and, in vehicles
with PASM, the suspension setup.
In vehicles with Porsche Doppel-
kupplung (PDK), the SPORT
but ton can be used to select a
sportier gearshif t strategy. For
more information, please refer
to page 74.
Auto start/stop function (only
in conjunction with Porsche
Doppelkupplung, PDK).
Silence: the t ypical stationary
noise. If, for example, you stop at
traf fic lights with your foot on
the brake pedal, the Auto start /
stop function will automatically
stop the engine. This fuel -saving
system restarts the engine as
soon as you release the brakes.
A key advantage is that there is
no need for you to change your
driving habits. You can simply
carry on as normal. All audio and
communication systems remain
switched on and the climate
control continues to maintain your
selected temperature, despite the
engine being switched of f. The
engine restarts if more power or
extra cooling output is required.
The Auto start /stop function
can be activated and deactivated
using a separate but ton. The
function may remain inactive under
particular circumstances, e.g.
very high outside temperatures,
on extreme uphill gradients, or if
bat tery charge is low.
The starter has been modified to
meet the increased requirements
demanded by this function and the bat tery is continuously moni
-
tored for the level of charge and
condition. The bat tery and starter
are consumable components and
are subject to an increased rate
of wear in the event of frequent
engine stopping.
Fuel economy is further improved
by electrical system recuperation,
whereby the bat tery is charged
predominantly under braking.
Under acceleration, on the other
hand, the alternator’s charging
current is reduced so that the
engine does not need to work as
hard to charge the bat tery.
Performance | Engines
With millisecond precision, DFI
injects fuel at up to 120 bar di rect -
l y
into the combustion chamber
by means of electromagnetically
actuated injection valves.
The spray and cone angles have
been optimised for torque, power
output, fuel consumption and
emissions by enabling a homoge -
neous distribution of the air/fuel
mixture, and, therefore, ef fective combustion. At up to 3,500 rpm,
the engine operates with dual
injection for faster heating of the
cataly tic converters af ter a cold
start and for greater torque in the
upper load range.
DFI improves the internal cooling
of the combustion chamber by
having the mixture prepared
direct
ly in the cylinder. This allows
for a higher compression ratio, which helps to deliver more out
-
put at the same time as enhanced
engine ef ficiency. Injection is
regulated by the electronic engine
management system and emis-
sions are monitored by the stereo
Lambda sensors, thus helping to
protect the environment.
A sense of relaxation is felt especially
after a period of intense pressure.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).

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

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

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°.

® Surround Sound System.

Personality | Comfort
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.
The Burmester
® High-End Surround Sound System.
