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.
