General
Development of the chassis and suspension systems on the new
Cayenne generation had the following goals in order to achieve
typical Porsche driving performance:
• Maximum driving safety.
• Exceptional control.
• High level of driving pleasure and agility.
• Outstanding driving comfort and suitability for everyday driving.
• Outstanding traction.
To achieve these goals, the chassis and suspension systems have been
adapted to suit the increased performance of the new Cayenne models
and their features have been optimized further. For even greater perfor-
mance and improved driving comfort, a new suspension system called
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) is available.
The following chassis types based on this system are available
for the new Cayenne models:
• Steel spring suspension (Cayenne and Cayenne S only).
• Air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
• Air suspension with PASM and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC).
To meet the high requirements with regard to the braking performance
of a Porsche, all new Cayenne models have a brake system that is opti-
mally designed to suit the relevant vehicle features. A higher
performance turbo brake system is used, especially on the Cayenne
Turbo.
All Cayenne models feature enhanced Porsche Stability Manage-
ment (PSM). PSM improves active safety thanks to the following
additional functions:
• Enhanced braking readiness.
• Brake assist function.
• Enhanced Trailer Stability Management.
• New ABS tuning for braking on unpaved surfaces.
The new Tire Pressure Monitoring system (TPM) generation is standard
equipment for all Cayenne models in the North American market.
