Standard equipment on the new Cayenne Turbo S includes Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with a 7-inch high-resolution colour touchscreen display – for intuitive and convenient operation. PCM is the central control system for all information and communication functions, including the navigation module with high-speed hard drive, radio, CD/DVD, sound settings, on-board computer and telephone. Further options available for PCM include online services, which enable access to a variety of content from the internet.

For distinctive sound – even with the engine switched off – the standard BOSE® Surround Sound System delivers 585 watts from a total of 14 loudspeakers. A 200-watt active subwoofer generates impressive bass.

Available as an option, the Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System offers an even more exclusive aural experience. The fully active system has a total output of more than 1,000 watts, 16 loudspeakers and a 16-channel amplifier.

The instrument cluster with high-resolution 4.8-inch TFT colour display shows map data from the navigation system, information from the on-board computer and the Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, as well as the car’s lateral and longitudinal acceleration.

This parking aid uses an acoustic signal and front/rear displays to alert the driver of any obstacles at the front or rear of the car. Its sensors are neatly concealed in the front and rear fascia. The acoustic signal is supplemented by a visual warning in the center console display which provides a graphical representation of the vehicle’s proximity to obstacles.

Standard on the Cayenne Turbo S. Optional for all other Cayenne models.

The optional reversing camera facilitates reverse parking and maneuvering and also assists with hitching a trailer. Help is provided in the form of a high-contrast color image with dynamic

guidelines on the PCM screen, which show the predicted course of the vehicle based on the current position of the steering wheel.

Cruise control automatically regulates the speed of your vehicle for added driver comfort on longer journeys. It can be used at speeds between 20 mph or more and is operated using a button on one of the control stalks.

Standard on all Cayenne models.

Optional on all Cayenne models, adaptive cruise control regulates the speed of your vehicle in line with that of the vehicle in front. To do that, the system uses a radar sensor in the central air intake to monitor the road ahead.

If you approach another vehicle that is traveling slower than your selected cruising speed, the system slows the engine or gently applies the brakes. This continues until the distance that you have preset is maintained. If heavier braking is required, the driver has to actively intervene. Your vehicle will now follow the one in front at a reduced speed.

If the other vehicle decelerates further, adaptive cruise control will continue to reduce your speed – even down to a halt. When the road ahead is free once more, the car automatically returns to your selected cruising speed between 20 mph or more. To pull away after an automatic stop, simply use the control lever or depress the accelerator pedal.

If selected by the driver, the integrated Stop & Go function automatically applies the brakes and

then drives off again in congested traffic.

For added safety, the system also features integrated Porsche Active Safe (PAS). The system visually and audibly alerts the driver in the event of a sudden decrease in distance and briefly tugs on the brakes. It can also intervene in the braking process and apply increased braking pressure through to all-out emergency braking, if required.

Optional for all Cayenne models.
