Tail Lights
The tail lights on the Cayenne models as of model year 2008 are
designed as a single unit and combine the indicator light, rear fog lights
(left and right), backup light, brake light, marker light and reflector in
one housing.
The following features have been added to further improve func-
tionality and design:
• LED technology
• Side marker light
• New design
The most remarkable feature of the new tail lights is the use of 16 LEDs
for the rear light and brake light as well as four other LEDs for the
marker light. In addition to the visual impact and the long service life,
the advantage of LED technology is above all the short response time.
While the response time of conventional bulbs is approx. 100 ms, the
response time for LEDs is around 0.1 ms.
At a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h), this difference is equivalent to a
distance of approx. 3 feet. Earlier signalling of braking therefore means
that traffic driving behind the vehicle is warned sooner. The tail light also
has a side marker light with LEDs, which is positioned in the lower side
section of the tail light.

Notes

light (4) is darker for the USA/Canadian
market.
