Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
Two major objectives of Porsche chassis design are optimal roadholding and precision handling. Both of these can be further enhanced with Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC). This optional aid is available for all new Cayenne models in conjunction with the optional air suspension featuring PASM.
PDCC uses active anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles to significantly reduce lateral body movement during cornering maneuvers. PDCC reads the current steering angle and lateral acceleration forces, and responds by producing a stabilizing counterforce that precisely negates any swaying force acting on the body. The result is optimal traction and occupant comfort in both on and off-road use.
PDCC automatically switches to Off-road mode when the Low-range gearing is selected. Essentially, this allows the two halves of each anti-roll bar to rotate further in opposition to each other, lengthening wheel articulation and improving traction on uneven surfaces. Since each individual wheel has greater contact with the ground, a greater proportion of drive torque is transmitted.
Cayennes equipped with PDCC can be identified by the silver colored chassis controls on the center console.
Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)
Standard on the Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is an electronic control system that adjusts the suspension system to changing driving styles and road conditions. PASM is also available as an option on the Cayenne and Cayenne S and is combined with air suspension.
The PASM system uses a series of sensors to monitor the movement of the body under various forces and continuously adjusts the individual shock dynamics to help maintain an ideal balance of ride and handling.
PASM has three setup modes: “Comfort,” “Normal” and “Sport.”
If Comfort or Normal mode is selected and the PASM-equipped Cayenne is driven assertively, the system automatically switches to a firmer suspension. As the suspension stiffens, the Cayenne becomes more stable and easier to control.
