Park Assis t.
Park Assist is standard in all Panamera
models. With four sensors in the rear
end, the system audibly alerts the driver
to the presence of obstacles detected
behind the vehicle. An intermit tent
warning tone increases in rapidity as the
obstacle is approached. An enhanced
version of Park Assist, 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 facilitates
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.
Surround View.
The optionally available Surround View
system supplements the reversing
camera with three more high-resolution
cameras – one in the front apron and one
in each lower trim of the exterior mirrors.
Based on the information supplied by
all four cameras, the system generates a virtual bird’s eye view of the car and
displays it on the PCM screen. This
provides additional assistance to the
driver when parking and manoeuvring

because even low-level obstacles to
the front and side of the vehicle can be
detected. It is also possible to switch
bet ween various camera views to
improve visibility, for example at narrow
exits.
Cruise control.
Cruise control is fit ted as standard for
added driver comfort on long stretches
of road. Cruise control operates in the
30 to 240 km/ h speed range and is
selected using a but ton on the steering
column control stalk.
Adaptive cruise control including
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
Available as an option, this enhanced
version of cruise control regulates the
speed of your vehicle in line with the
speed of the vehicle in front. A radar
sensor inside in the front end scans the
road ahead up to a distance of 200 m.
Imagine you’ve selected a cruising speed
but have begun to gain on the vehicle in
front because it is driving more slowly –
the system reduces the speed of your
vehicle by restricting throt tle or gently
applying the brakes until your chosen
distance from the vehicle in front is
maintained. For safety reasons, the driver
should always be prepared to intervene
manually if heavier braking is required.
If the vehicle ahead slows further,
adaptive cruise control will decelerate
your Panamera accordingly – even down
to a halt. As soon as the road ahead
clears, your vehicle will accelerate back
up to the cruising speed originally set.
Selectable cruising speeds range from
30 to 210 km/ h. To pull away after an
automatic stop, simply press the control
lever or depress the accelerator pedal.

If desired, the driver can enable the
integrated stop -and -go function, which
automates stopping and pulling away in
congested traf fic. Safet y is further improved by Porsche
Active Safe (PAS). If you are approaching
the vehicle in front too quickly, you will

be prompted to take the necessary
action by an audible and visual warning
as well as a jolt of the brakes. The
system may also intervene with targeted
braking applications and act to boost
brake pressure as the situation demands,
even to the point of the maximum braking
force that the system is able to provide.
