Lighting concept.
Standard in all new Panamera models:
Bi-Xenon headlights featuring automatic
and dynamic range adjustment, a
headlight cleaning system and integral
day time running lights with four LED
spotlights in each headlight. On the
new Panamera GTS, the headlight units
are finished in black.

The Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS) is standard in the Panamera Turbo
and Panamera GTS, and available on
request for all other models. Its dynamic cornering light function
swivels the headlights towards the inside
of the bend, based on the steering angle
and driving speed. The static cornering
lights activate the auxiliary headlights

in order to illuminate more of the road
at tight bends and turns. In addition,
beam distribution is continuously adapted
in line with driving speed and prevailing
light conditions. Another function is
the adverse weather function. This is
activated whenever the rear fog light
is switched on and improves safet y
by reducing the dazzle to which you
are exposed and by providing bet ter
illumination of the kerbside.
Automatic headlight activation is standard
in all models and switches the lights on
automatically when it gets dark. The
lighting system also includes an auto matic
switch- off feature and the ‘Welcome
Home’ function – a customi sable delayed
switch- off timer that keeps the day time
running lights and the taillights switched
on until you reach your front door.


Adaptive LED brake lights are fit ted as
standard and pulsate in the event of panic
braking, thereby alerting following traffic
more quickly to a critical situation.
Sometimes, looking ahead also means thinking about
what’s around the next corner.

LED main headlights including
Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(PDLS Plus).
A new development is available on
request for every Panamera model: LED
main headlights including Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).
The inner workings of each headlight
comprise t wo light units in a stepped
arrangement – a design feature that
reinforces the imposing appearance of
the new Panamera models.

The LED beam is remarkably powerful
and provides excellent illumination of the
road. Thanks to the optimum balance bet ween short and long distance lighting
with side illumination, the similarity in
colour with the day time running lights
and low light scat ter, the driver’s eyes
tire less quickly than with other systems.


The Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(PDLS Plus) has been combined with the
LED main headlights. Not only does PDLS
Plus offer all the functions of PDLS,
it also features a dynamic main beam
and an intersection assistant function.

The dynamic main beam is activated
from a speed of 65 km/ h and detects
vehicles driving in front as well as oncoming traffic. The intensity and

range of the light cone can therefore
be adapted to the prevailing situation.
With the intersection assistant function,
intersections and T junctions are
recognised based on the navigation data
of PCM. For optimum illumination of
intersections, the system automatically
switches on the left and right cornering
lights. At a T junction, only the static
cornering light on the same side as the
emerging traffic is switched on.
