Get Comfort and infotainment Guide for Porsche 911 2 Door Eighth Generation (2018-2026)

Comfort

and infotainment

Comfort 79

The driver must always know how to get

ahead, without ever losing sight of the

bigger picture. For this reason, everything

in the interior is geared towards looking

forward: to the car in front, to the next

corner, to the next driving manoeuvre.

That’s possible only when synergies are

created between engineering and design,

and sportiness and comfort. Proof: the

new sports steering wheel with its puristic

design and excellent ergonomics. More

proof: the ascending centre console. The

principle they share: putting the driver

first. The same applies to the suspension

settings and the two-zone air conditioning

system. There shouldn’t be any need to

spend too long browsing one submenu

after another. You should instead be able

to concentrateon what’s important:

driving pleasure.

Five round instruments make a sporty

contribution. Their primary purpose is to

provide information. They do so efficiently

andaccurately. And their styling is

typically Porsche, with the rev counter

exactly where you would expect it to be:

in the middle.

Technology to help you along the way is

integrated asstandard: new Porsche

Communication Management (PCM)

including online navigation module plus

7-inch multi-touchscreen. Thanks to the

Connect Plus module, PCM is also your

gateway to the digital world.

The instrument cluster with 4.6-inch

colour screen provides you with a

continuous stream of data from the on-

board computer, such as trip mileage,

journey time or average fuel consumption.

It also displays themap of the navigation

system together with real-time traffic

information, delivers various warnings

and reminds you of your chosen

communication and audio settings.

From pioneering technology to sporty

comfort. Whether it’s leather or Alcantara

all the materials we use are exquisite

and puristic.

In addition to the choice of Agate Grey,

Black and Luxor Beige for the interior,

there is a wide range of other

Interior.

personalisation options available,

including two-tone colour combinations

or special colours and materials such as

carbon, aluminium and high-quality wood.

Available for the 911 models for the first

time: the Sport-Tex leather interior, in

black or a two-tone combination of

Graphite Blue and Crayon. Sport-Tex

offersexcellent breathability and support

and is distinguished by its expressive

appearance. The newly styled seam

pattern of the Sports seats Plus,

withselected decorative stitching in a

contrasting colour, adds another sporty

detail.

Comfort 81

Sports steering wheel.

Fitted as standard, the sports steering

wheel with spoked design is lightweight

and functional. The small centre pad

andthe chrome ring encircling the

Porsche Crest – both derived from

thesteering wheel of the 918 Spyder –

reinforce its sporty character.

In conjunction with PDK, the sports

steering wheel features two alloyed

gearshift paddles. The shift throw of the

paddles has been reduced, gearshifts

are even crisper. Available as an option

is the new GT sports steering wheel. This

has a smaller diameter. The decorative

ring and the paddles are finished in

Galvano Silver, while the spoke trims are

screw-fastened. For a motorsport-derived

design? Definitely. Above all, though, to

emulate a motorsport driving feel.

Heating and multifunction controls are

optionally available for all steering wheels.

These give you fingertip access to the

colour display, the on-board computer

and many audio, telephone and navigation

functions.

Light design package.

The optional light design package is both

practical and aesthetically appealing. It

comprises dimmable LEDs in the overhead

console and in the areas of the door

handles, door storage compartments,

front footwells and rear seats.

Porsche Entry & Drive.

With the optional Porsche Entry & Drive,

you can leave your car key in your pocket.

As soon as you grab the door handle, or

your hand nears the Porsche Crest on the

luggage compartment lid, the system

automatically checks the encrypted

access code on the key. Once the key

isvalidated, the door or the luggage

compartment lid unlocks. The engine

canthen be started and switched off

using the electronic ignition switch.

Comfort 83

Sports seats.

The Sports seats are comfortable and

provide support even during performance

driving. They are equipped as standard

with electric seat height and backrest

adjustment and mechanical fore/aft

adjustment.

Optional fully electric Sports seats offer

a wider range of powered adjustments,

such aslumbar support and seat squab

angle anddepth. A comprehensive

memory function and electric steering

column adjustment are also included.

Sports seats Plus.

Available as an option are Sports seats

Plus in leather with electric seat height

and backrest adjustment as well as

mechanical fore/aft adjustment. The side

bolsters on the squab and backrest have

a firmer, sportier padding and offer even

better lateral support.

Adaptive Sports seats Plus in leather are

available on request. Featuring 18-way

electric adjustment of seat positions,

including side bolsters, they also come

with a comprehensive memory function

and electric steering column adjustment.

Sports bucket seats.*

Sports bucket seats featuring a folding

backrest, integral thorax airbag and

manual fore/aft adjustment are available

as optional equipment. The seat shells

are made from glass- and carbon-fibre

reinforced plastic with a carbon surface

finish.

Seat heating and ventilation.

Seat heating is available as an option for

all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,

the backrest and, for the front seats, the

side bolsters. Seat ventilation is also

available on request (not with Sports

bucket seats or Sport-Tex leather

interior) – for a pleasant and dry seating

environment, even in hot weather.

Rear seats.

The rear seats are remarkably

comfortable for a sports car and the

shelf behind offers additional storage

space. With the backrests folded down,

the luggage compartment volume in the

rear of the 911

Carrera models increases

to 260litres and, with a capacity of

160litres, the 911

Carrera Cabriolet and

911

Targa models offer plenty of space

for luggage, too.

We’ve been on a journey to new destinations for over 60 years.

So we’ve learnt the value of sitting comfortably.

Comfort.

Child seat preparation.*

ISOFIX child seat preparation including

top tether (Coupé models only) is

available on the rear seats as standard.

On request, we can equip the front

passenger seat with ISOFIX child seat

preparation and integrate an airbag

deactivation feature.

* Child seats are not compatible with the Sports

bucket seats.

Luggage compartment.

The luggage compartment volume in the

911

models is 145litres – 125litres in

t he 911

all-wheel drive models. The

luggage compartment is fully trimmed in

scratch-resistant materials.

Climate control.

All models feature two-zone automatic

climate control as standard, offering an

enhanced ventilation effect and separate

temperature controls for the driver and

front passenger.

An active carbon filter traps particles,

pollen and odours and an automatic air-

recirculation function permanently

monitors air quality, reduces humidity

and switches from fresh to recirculated

air when required. A demister function

keeps the windows clear in cold weather.

In warmer weather, strong sunlight is

detected by a solar sensor, for which the

air conditioning system automatically

compensates in order to maintain the

comfort of both the driver and front

passenger.

Slide/tilt sunroof.

The electrically adjustable slide/tilt

sunroof is available as an option for the

911

Coupé models. It opens outwards so

that it does not interfere with headroom.

Another advantage of this innovative

design is the particularly large aperture

forincreased driving pleasure under the

open sky. The net-type wind deflector

protects against draught and further

reduces wind noise.

Slide/tilt glass sunroof.

On request, the electrically adjustable

slide/tilt sunroof is available in tinted

toughened safety glass. An integral

electric roll-up sunblind provides shade

from unwanted bright light. The build,

headroom and aperture specifications of

the glass sunroof are otherwise identical

to those of the regular slide/tilt sunroof.

A fresh wind blowing through the sports car segment

has some decidedly pleasant side effects.

Air conditioning and glazing.

Comfort 87

Adaptive cruise control including

Porsche Active Safe (PAS).

Available as an option in conjunction

with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),

this enhanced version of cruise control

actively regulates the speed of your

vehicle in line with the speed of the

vehicle in front. A radar sensor scans the

road ahead up to a distance of 200 m.

If Porsche Active Safe (PAS) detects that

your vehicle is approaching the vehicle in

front too quickly, the system issues an

audible and a visual warning. Where

necessary, this may beaccompanied by

a brief jolt of the brakes and the initiation

of targeted braking. During this process,

any braking by the driver is boosted to

achieve the maximum braking force that

the system is able to provide.

With the new 911, coasting is now

possible even while adaptive cruise

control is active.

Lane Change Assist.

New Lane Change Assist, available as an

option, uses radar sensors to monitor

the areas to the rear of the vehicle and

the blind spots on either side. Above a

speed of 15km/h, the system issues a

visual warning signal in the door mirror

panel whenever a vehicle rapidly

approaches your vehicle from behind

or enters one of your blind spots. In

this way, Lane Change Assist improves

comfort and safety, particularly on

motorways. However, the system does

not actively intervene to control the

vehicle and can be deactivated at any

time.

ParkAssist.

Featuring four inconspicuous sensors

inthe rear end, the system audibly

alertsthe driver to the presence of

obstacles detected behind the vehicle.

An intermittent warning tone increases

inrapidity as the obstacle is approached.

ParkAssist can be optionally upgraded to

include monitoring of the front end with

four additional sensors. The audible alert

is supplemented by a visual warning in

the central display screen, which shows

a graphical representation of thevehicle

from overhead.

The optional reversing camera facilitates

precise reverse parking and manoeuvring.

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

Speed limit indicator.

The camera-based speed limit indicator

informs you of speed restrictions and

Notifications appear on the display in the

instrument cluster and on the screen of

PCM.

Infotainment 89

Infotainment for a new generation:

enhanced Porsche Communication

Management (PCM) including online

navigation module with real-time traffic

information

is your control centre for

audio, navigation

and communication

functions – and it’s standard in every

model.

PCM is operated by means of the new

7-inch multi-touchscreen or by voice

control. Alternatively, you can use the

conventional rotary pushbutton controls.

In response to hand movement, an

integral proximity sensor activates the

screen to displaythe relevant menu

contents, which you can then operate

easily using multi-touchgestures. With

its high-quality glass surface, PCM is the

aesthetically perfect addition to the

centre console.

Equally user-friendly is the new navigation

system with real-time traffic information.

Based on this information, roads in map

view are highlighted green, yellow or red,

depending on the volume of traffic. In

addition, the traffic information is

continuously updated and your route is

dynamically adapted accordingly. A

three-year subscription to map updates

is included.

Infotainment begins the moment you

connect and charge your smartphone or

link up any other audiosource of your

choice. Simply use the iPhone

interface

in the centre console, the universal audio

interface or the AUX input in the glove

compartment.

Your iPhone

or USB stick can be

operated conveniently via PCM, the

multifunction controls, or using the voice

control system. What’s more, the USB

connection enables you to download data

from the performance display of the

optional Sport Chrono Package.

For your personal music collection, the

CD/DVD drive is supplemented by an

internal hard drive (‘jukebox’) and two SD

card readers. Once you have inserted a

card containing your audio files, you can

play them using the music player in PCM.

Mobile phone preparation.

With mobile phone preparation, a

Bluetooth

connection can be

established automatically with mobile

phones that support the Handsfree

Profile (HFP); so you can leave your

mobile phone tucked away. PCM

enablesyou to operate thephone’s

basicfunctions. The GSM connection

isalways established through the

aerialof the mobile phone.

Sound Package Plus.

Sound Package Plus, with eight

loudspeakers and a total output of

150 watts, delivers excellent sound. The

amplifier integrated into PCM optimally

adapts the acoustic pattern in the vehicle

interior to the driver and front passenger.

Infotainment 91

Connect Plus.

Always on-board: the Connect Plus module,

for making the optimum connection

between your smartphone and your

Porsche.

The centre console contains a special

smartphone tray, which hands overthe

function of the mobile phone aerial to the

external aerial of the car, sparing the

mobile phone battery and providing

optimum reception. At the same time,

you canconnect your smartphone by

USB cable for recharging.

Online navigation.

The Connect Plus module delivers real-

time traffic information to the 911

for the

first time ever. Now you can find out

even before you set off which routes are

best avoided if you wish to arrive at

your destination sooner. Throughout

the journey, the optimum route is

dynamically recalculated based on

regular updating of traffic data.

The online navigation package also

includes the GOOGLE

Street View and

GOOGLE

Earth services. Their 360°

views and satellite imagery help you

toidentify your surroundings at your

destination and along the way.

Apple

CarPlay.

With Apple

CarPlay, you can use the

apps of youriPhone

even when you’re

on the move – via PCM or with the aid

ofSiri

, theApple

voice recognition

interface. In this way, for example, you

can send text messages or have

incoming SMS read out to you – all the

while keeping your full concentration on

the road.

Telephone module.

Connect Plus also includes the telephone

module, which offers convenience,

excellent reception and optimised voice

quality. You can simply insert your SIM

card into the SIM card reader and make

calls using the hands-free facility. If your

smartphone supports the SIM Access

Profile (SAP), you can make calls via

Bluetooth

for even more convenience.

Once the link has been established

automatically, the mobile phone’s aerial

is switched off to conserve battery

charge and the phone operates via the

car aerial.

Do you feel there’s a special connection between you and your Porsche?

It does, too.

access to a range of statisticsrecorded

by your car, including distance covered,

average speed and fuel consumed during

the last drive.

Particularly practical: using Porsche Car

Connect, you can make a breakdown

callat any time. You can even check

thestatus of the alarmsystem whenever

youwant, wherever you are. Your

smartphone can also be used to control

door locking and folding of the optional

electric exterior mirrors. Another feature

of Porsche Car Connect is the Porsche
