Engines

At Porsche, there are no conventions, no barriers to thinking. They are banned. What matters alone, is this question: how can we further improve? Or in other words: can we redefine the limits of technology? Can we absolve apparent controversies? We can: with intelligent performance.

The 911 is the answer to the question about the future of the sports car with performance. With efficiency. And with emotions. A principle that has changed everything once already: in 1974, with the first 911 Turbo.

The 6-cylinder, twin-turbo engines of the 911 Carrera and Targa 4 models with 3.0-litre cylinder capacity pick up this principle and perfect it in a forward-looking manner. More precisely: with the huge power of acceleration already at low speeds, with the addition of the high-speed engines of a 911 Carrera, typical for sports cars. I.e. high pressure, high speed, with a great controllability of performance and stunningly low consumption, thanks to the reduction in cubic capacity.

In numbers: 272 kW (370 hp), speeds up to 7,500 rpm and a top torque of 450 Nm, that already occurs at 1,700 rpm.

With the Porsche Doppelkuppung (PDK), the 911 Carrera can accelerate 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds, with a top speed of 293 km/h.

The engine of the S-models with larger turbochargers and separate exhaust system results in an even more impressive drive; its engine capacity is 309 kW (420 hp) and its top torque a healthy 500 Nm. It kicks in already at 1,700 rpm. With the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Launch Control, the 911 Carrera S sprints to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. The speed goes up to 306 km/h.

Something numbers cannot express: the legendary sound of the 911 6-cylinder horizontally opposed engine. This, you can now feel even more.

Rear-wheel and all-wheel drive

For 911 fans it’s a question of faith, for tech lovers it’s an issue of performance: rear or all-wheel drive?

The answer may turn out differently on either side, but neither would be wrong. Those who recognise the rear-driven variant as being the one true 911 should consider that the all-wheel drive setup goes back to the legendary Paris–Dakar Rally of 1984, when the Porsche 953 based on the 911 wrote its own chapter in sport – and engineering – history. Fun in the corners, by the way, is guaranteed by both drive layouts.

Two irreconcilable philosophies? Let’s discuss a third: the design. The all-wheel drive 911 models have a 44 mm wider body, letting it rest more firmly on the road. The impression that is emphasised mainly when it is dark, by the continuous light strip.

Another hallmark of the all-wheel drive models: sheer supremacy. In every corner and at any time of year. Porsche Traction Management (PTM), the active all-wheel drive system, varies the drive force transmitted to all four wheels as the situation demands. This helps to ensure solid roadholding and even better performance. Simultaneously, of course. In winter. Day in, day out. At the limits of dynamic driving performance.

Fair-weather cars? The 911 Targa 4 models are anything but. Here, the all-wheel drive marries excellent traction with excellent aesthetics.

Rear or all-wheel drive? Whatever stance you take, the most fascinating philosophy of life is and shall remain the practical one. At Porsche, this philosophy has been about the road for well over 60 years.

Turbochargers

To reduce consumption, the cylinder capacity was significantly lowered compared to the previous generations. Because, as sports car manufacturers, we carry considerable responsibility. Even so, the engine’s performance increases significantly, provided by the turbocharger of the 911.

The 911 offers a twin-turbo drive and it has two chargers with charge-air cooling, one for each cylinder bench. Two especially compact turbochargers come into action, optimally adjusted to the cylinder capacity and the performance of the engine. With this construction, the inertia moment of the drive is minimised and provides improved throttle response. What the turbochargers leave behind: prejudices. What they achieve instead: very high torque values.

It has a technical ring to it, that unmistakeable throaty sound. The sound of a 911. And a performance that is experienced by the driver immediately. As direct acceleration. As unrestrained forward thrust. Almost a “hit” on the back, when the engine unleashes its raw power.

7-speed manual transmission

Pure, direct, precise. Short shift movements and an optimum transition from one gear to the next. The 7-speed manual transmission combines a high level of sporty performance with fast gear changes. In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package, selecting SPORT or SPORT PLUS mode activates the dynamic throttle-blip function, which ensures the optimum engine speed for every downshift, a more emotional driving experience and an impressive sound.

A gear indicator in the rev counter reminds you which gear has been selected. The upshift indicator in the instrument cluster helps you actively to conserve fuel.

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)

The optimised 7-speed PDK with manual and automatic mode is available as an optional extra. For extremely fast gear changes, without disrupting the traction. All this with even better acceleration values and further reduced consumption.

In manual mode, the shift direction is set up like it is in race cars – shifting up backwards, shifting down forward. It will feel like driving on the circuit.

The gears 1 to 6 have a sporty feel and the highest speed is reached in gear 6. The 7th gear has been developed with the focus on consumption.

The PDK consists of two half gearboxes installed in the same casing. The Doppelkupplung connects these half gearboxes with the engine via two alternating, separate input shafts. The flow of power from the engine therefore goes via a half gearbox and a clutch, while the next gear is already set in the second half gearbox. When changing gear, one of the clutches is opened and the other simultaneously closed - for gear changes in milliseconds.

Sports exhaust system

The sport exhaust system available as an optional extra for the 911, comes with two catalytic converters and rear silencers, flowing into two tailpipes, that are arranged centrally. Manufactured in stainless steel, available in high-gloss black or silver colour. An appearance usually seen on the circuit. Delivering an impressive resonance and an intensive sports car sound, typical for the 911. For 100 % Porsche. For goosebumps at the press of a button.

Efficiency-enhancing technologies

Auto start/stop switches off the engine when the driving speed falls below 7 km/h under moderate deceleration, such as when you are approaching a red light. As soon as you release the clutch or, with PDK, depress the accelerator pedal, the engine restarts – swiftly and smoothly.

In conjunction with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), a coasting function becomes available where the situation allows. The engine is decoupled from the transmission to avoid deceleration caused by engine braking. In this way, optimum use is made of the vehicle’s momentum, enabling it to coast for longer distances.

Active air intake flaps

The active air intake flaps in the front air intakes act to reduce fuel consumption during everyday trips and to achieve superlative performance on sporty drives. Already proven on the 918 Spyder, the flaps close automatically while the car is in motion and thereby reduce drag.

On demand or in SPORT or SPORT PLUS mode, the flaps open and help to provide optimum engine cooling.

This means that cooling air is supplied only to the extent that it is actually needed. That’s efficiency. Of the intelligent kind.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)

PASM is fitted as standard in all 911 models for the first time. This electronic damping control system continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on current road conditions and driving style.

PASM has two modes, which can be selected using a separate button on the centre console: ‘Normal’, which is a blend of performance and comfort, and ‘Sport’ where the setup is much firmer.

The results are tangible: increased driving stability, improved comfort and enhanced performance.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM)

All 911 models come fitted with Porsche Stability Management (PSM) as standard. PSM maintains stability even at the limits of dynamic driving performance. Sensors continuously monitor the direction, speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration of the car. Using this information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction of travel at any given moment and initiates strategic braking of individual wheels to prevent you from deviating from your intended line.

Under acceleration on inconsistent surfaces, PSM improves traction using the automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR) functions. The result is a high level of driving stability and safety – and extraordinary agility at the same time.

Sport Chrono Package

Adrenalin at the press of a button. Goosebumps included: the optional Sport Chrono Package including the Porsche Track Precision App (PTPA) and the mode switch on the steering wheel. Its functions provide an even sportier definition of chassis, engine and gears.

Without having to move your hand completely from the steering wheel, you can choose between four settings: Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS and the Individual, which enables you to adjust your car even more to your individual driving style.

With the SPORT PLUS mode activated, the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and the optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) for the S-models as well as the optional rear-axle steering, provide a sportier absorption and direct shifting in corners.

In connection with the PDK, the Sport Chrono Package comes with three additional functions. The first function: Launch Control. This allows for the best possible starting acceleration, a race start. The second function: race track gear change strategy. Here, the PDK uses extremely short shift times and optimum shift points to achieve the maximum acceleration.

For uncompromising racetrack performance with active gear changes.

The third function – SPORT Response – activated by the button in the middle of the mode switch. Engine and gears are then prepared to deliver the fastest possible performance. In other words: maximum throttle response – for about 20 seconds. A graphic timer in the instrument cluster shows the function that is still available.

The stop watch on the dashboard is part of the Sport Chrono Package. To display, save and evaluate circuit times and times of alternative routes, PCM is supplied with a performance indicator. And a further part of the Sport Chrono Package: the dynamic engine mounts. The electronically controlled system reduces the perceptible oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, especially of the engine. It also combines the advantages of hard and soft engine mounting. In summary: it enhances the drive stability as well as the drive comfort. In addition, the Sport Chrono Package includes as of now: the Porsche Track Precision App to measure lap times and drive data. These can be recorded, managed, shared and compared with other drivers via a smartphone. Graphic analysis as well as video analysis show that each millisecond provides a potential for improvement, circuit by circuit.

PSM Sport
Together with the optional Sport Chrono Package, PSM is extended by a sport mode. It allows for a significantly sportier driving style, while PSM remains active in the background. For an even more enhanced driving experience.

PASM sports suspension
The PASM sports suspension is an optional extra for the S-models of the Coupé: the PASM sports suspension.

The body is lowered by a further 10 mm compared to PASM. The springs are harder and shorter and the cross stabilisers at the front and rear axle are torsion-resistant. The front spoiler lip has an even sportier design, the rear spoiler extends even further. This provides even less impetus at the front axle as well as downforce at the rear axle. The result is enhanced performance once again – simultaneously providing stunningly high comfort.

SPORT button

The SPORT button enables you to select a suspension setup where the emphasis is on either comfort or sporty performance. At the push of a button, the electronic engine management system switches the engine mapping to offer an even sharper response and engine dynamics that are more direct.

In vehicles with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), upshifts take place at higher engine speeds and downshifts happen sooner. In addition, the optional sports exhaust system is activated automatically while certain functions, such as auto start/stop, are deactivated.

Front-axle lift system

Particularly practical: the lift system, available as an option for all 911 models, raises the front end by approximately 40 mm – and keeps it there up to a speed of roughly 35 km/h. With this system, kerbs, ramps and car park entrances are a sporting challenge of the past.

Electromechanical power steering

Statistically, a car drives in a straight line 90 % of the time. In light of this, our engineers identified potential for energy savings. Unlike the hydraulic pumps of conventional power steering systems, the electric motor of the electromechanical arrangement uses energy only when the steering wheel is actually turned.

That isn’t to say that you aren’t ideally prepared for the other 10 %. After all, this steering system is typically Porsche. It features a variable steering ratio and responds sensitively and directly while providing customary agility, a high level of comfort and precisely selected feedback from the road. Our definition of efficient.

Power steering Plus
The comfort-oriented Power steering Plus is available as an option. At low speeds, it adjusts for much easier manoeuvring and parking.

Wheels

The 911 Carrera models and the 911 Targa 4 are equipped with 19-inch wheels. These are lightweight alloys featuring a classic sporty design.

All S models are equipped with 20-inch alloy wheels. The visual effect is sporty and dynamic. The tyres are wider to cope with the increased power output of these models.

The large wheel size improves traction and track performance. Rolling resistance and tyre weight are comparatively low, which helps to reduce fuel consumption.

A selection of 20-inch wheels is available in our range of options.

Brakes

We would like to speed up everything. Even development. This applies also to negative acceleration. As even in a topic like braking, there is potential.

This is why we adjusted in the 911 the dimensioning of the brake system to the engine performance. The basic 911 models are installed with four-piston monobloc aluminium fixed calipers with black anodised finished. The disc brake diameter front and back is 330 mm.

The S-models are supplied with red six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed calipers at the front and four-piston monobloc aluminium fixed calipers at the rear. The brake covers at the front axle are manufactured in aluminium. The brake disc diameter is 350 mm at the front and 330 mm at the back. For improved brake performance and stability.

The calipers are locked in all models. The advantages:
higher inherent stability, better pressure point behaviour even with extreme loads, and low weight. The pedal travel is short, the pressure points accurate. The brake discs are cross-drilled to provide better brake reaction even in wet conditions, as well as optimal cooling.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)

Proven in motorsport, the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is available as an option. On the new 911, the cross-drilled ceramic brake discs of PCCB now have a diameter of 410 mm at the front and 390 mm at the rear – for even more formidable braking performance.

Originating from the 911 Turbo S, PCCB features six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers on the front axle and four-piston units at the rear – all painted in yellow – to provide braking forces that are considerably more powerful and, crucially, are exceptionally consistent.

PCCB enables shorter braking distances in even the toughest road and race conditions. Safety under high-speed braking is also improved thanks to its excellent fade resistance.

Another advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are approximately 50 % lighter than standard discs of a similar design and size. This results in better roadholding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and a further improvement in handling.

Airbags and Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP)

The 911 models offer advanced airbag technology in the form of full-size driver and front passenger airbags, which are inflated in two stages depending on the severity and type of accident.

All 911 models are also equipped as standard with the Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP). It comprises side impact protection elements in the doors and two airbags on each side. An integral thorax airbag is located in each seat side bolster, while the door panels each contain an upwards-inflating head airbag. Each thorax airbag has a volume of 10 litres and each head airbag 15 litres, ensuring excellent protection in the event of a side impact.

Lights

Innovative technical features and simultaneous personality traits: the standard Bi-Xenon main headlights with integrated four-point LED daytime running lights. The characteristic light design lends the elevener its unmistakeable face.

LED technology is used in all functions of the taillights too. For triggering a quick response as well as for high illuminating power. The LED brake lights are designed the same way as the daytime running lights, with four-point look.

Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)

The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) is available as an option. Its dynamic cornering light function swivels the main headlights towards the inside of a bend, based on steering angle and road speed, so as to light up more of the road at bends and turns. Put simply, the road ahead is illuminated the moment you start to corner. PDLS also features speed-sensitive headlight range control and the adverse weather function.

LED main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus)

High safety levels with a sporty design: LED main headlights including PDLS Plus are available as an optional extra. Efficient and with a long operating life, the LED technology with its daylight-like colour contributes to a fatigue-free driving experience. A bonus.

A speciality of PDLS Plus: the dynamic main beam control. The camera recognises the light of the cars in front and of the oncoming vehicles. The dynamic main beam control then appropriately adjusts smoothly and continuously, ensuring that you recognise in time what is happening on the road, spot pedestrians and any sources of danger, without disabling the other road users.

Interior

The driver must always know what´s coming up next. They must not lose their overview. This is why everything in the interior is directed front-wards: to the person in front, to the next curve, and the next manoeuvre.

This only works if engineering and design, sportiness and comfort create synergies. A proof: the Sports steering wheel in minimalist design and high level of ergonomics. A second feature: the ascending centre console. The principle for both: the direction of travel. It also applies to the chassis or the separately controllable two-zone air conditioning system. You don’t have to search through endless menus and submenus, instead you can concentrate on the essential: the joy of driving.

The five round instruments contribute to the sporty feel. They provide primarily one thing: information. Quickly and accurately. With an appearance that you have come to expect from Porsche. And with a rev counter, that is, of course, in the centre.

Technology that takes you further, even as a standard feature: Porsche Communication Management (PCM) including online-navigation und 7-inch touchscreen display. Additionally, PCM connects you with the digital world via the Connect Plus module.

The combined instrument with 4.6-inch colour screen provides you continuously with information from the on-board computer, such as the daily mileage, travel time or average consumption. In addition, it also displays the map of the navigation system with real-time traffic information, it also gives warning information and informs you about communication and audio settings.

From pioneering technology to sporty comfort. High-grade, puristic materials, such as leather and Alcantara®, are used.

Apart from the interior colours of Agate Grey and Black, you have further options to customise its features with two-tone and special colours, or which materials such as carbon, aluminium and high-quality wood.

Also available for the 911 models: leather interior Sport-Tex, in black or in the two-tone combination. Sport-Tex provides excellent breathability, great support and expressive appearance. The pronounced stitching of the Sports seats Plus provides a sporty edge with decorative stitching in colour.

Sports steering wheel

Light, functional, in spoke design: the standard Sports steering wheel. Derived from the steering wheel of the 918 Spyder, the small steering wheel centre pad and the decorative ring around the Porsche Crest further enhance the sporty character.

The Sports steering wheel has two alloy gearshift paddles connected to PDK. The shift paths on the paddles are shortened, the gear changes even crisper. Optional: the GT sports steering wheel with black spokes and a smaller diameter. Decorative ring and paddles are kept in silver colour, the spoke trims are screwed together. Surely, a motorsport-derived design at its best!

Yes, but more importantly, the driving experience will make you feel like you are on a circuit.

Optionally available for all steering wheels: multifunction and heated. Several audio, telephone and navigation systems as well as the colour display and the on-board computer can be operated from here.

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.

Seats

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 (excluding Sports bucket seats) – 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.

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.

Luggage compartment

The luggage compartment volume in the 911 models is 145 litres – 125 litres in the 911 all-wheel drive models. The luggage compartment is fully trimmed in scratch-resistant materials.

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.

Climate control

Standard in all models: the two-zone automatic climate control with wide ventilation field and separate temperature control for driver and front passenger.

The active carbon fine dust filter prevents particles, pollen and external air smells from entering the interior. The automatic air-recirculation function constantly measures the air quality, reduces humidity and switches from external to internal ventilation system if necessary. Two further functions: if the ambient temperature is cold, the system ensures that the windows are demisted. Using a solar sensor, the air conditioning system recognises and compensates automatically for strong sun effects for both the driver and front passenger.

Adaptive cruise control including Porsche Active Safe (PAS)

It is available as an optional extra in connection with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). The system regulates the speed of your 911 automatically, depending on the distance to the car in front, by the radar sensor monitoring the area in front of your car. If you have set a certain speed and you are getting closer to a car in front of you that is travelling slower, then your system will reduce your speed by taking away some acceleration and careful braking, until the preset distance has been achieved. Your 911 now keeps that distance from the car travelling in front of you. If it applies the brakes, then the adaptive cruise control also reduces the speed, until the vehicle reaches a standstill.

The system also prepares for braking, if the distance to the car in front is decreasing. It will warn you with sound and visual signals if it recognises the situation as a potential accident risk. In addition, the brake is briefly engaged. If the driver carries out emergency braking, then the started brake action is reinforced within certain system limits by the brake power support.

Lane Change Assist

The optional Lane Change Assist uses radar sensors to monitor the area behind the car and the blind spot. From a speed of 15 km/h, the system provides information about cars approaching from behind, or in the blind spot, via an optical signal in the window triangle. On the motorway especially, the Lane Change Assist provides extra comfort and safety, but it does not interfere with the driving and it can be deactivated 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 steering wheel.

Speed limit indicator

The camera-based speed limit indicator informs you of speed restrictions and ‘no overtaking’ zones (start and end). Notifications appear on the display in the instrument cluster and on the screen of PCM.

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.

BOSE® Surround Sound System

The optional BOSE® Surround Sound System has been specially developed for the 911 models and is optimally tuned to the specific interior acoustics of these particular vehicles. The audio system features 12 fully active loudspeakers and amplifier channels including a patented 100-watt active subwoofer integral to the vehicle bodyshell. This fully active system setup enables each individual loudspeaker to be optimally adapted to the vehicle interior and transforms the 911 into a fast-moving concert hall. Total output 555 watts.

Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System

The road is perhaps the last place in the world in which you can still listen to music without disturbance. Reason enough, then, to upgrade your enjoyment the Porsche way – together with the most important manufacturer of premium quality sound systems in Germany.

The result is a sound performance of the highest level, specially matched to your 911. The system has 12 amplifier channels with a total output of 821 watts, 12 loudspeakers including an active subwoofer with 300-watt class D amplifier, a total diaphragm surface area of more than 1,340 cm², and a frequency response of 35 Hz to 20 kHz.

The Burmester® system uses the patented integral subwoofer, which replaces the familiar separate subwoofer and loudspeaker arrangement of other systems. Analogue and digital filters have been optimally defined for their specific installation location. Ribbon tweeters (air motion transformers, AMT) have been used for unmistakably fine, clear and undistorted high-frequency sound reproduction with excellent level stability.

All loudspeaker housings are perfectly matched and deliver a natural and richly textured spatial sound, even at top volume.

The new Porsche Communication Management (PCM)

The enhanced Porsche Communication Management (PCM) is your central control unit for all infotainment applications and is standard equipment in all models. The PCM features a high-resolution touch display with integrated proximity sensor which allows simple and convenient operation.

Infotainment already starts when you charge and connect your iPhone® or any other audio source. You can connect your device easily using either the USB port or AUX input.
