Driving and Driving Safety

189

Despite the advantages of transmission and

chassis control systems, it is still the driver’s

responsibility to adapt his driving style and

maneuvers in line with road and weather

conditions, as well as the traffic situation.
The increased safety that is provided should not

induce you to take greater risks with your safety.

The limits set by the physics of driving cannot be

overcome.

These systems cannot reduce the risk of

accidents due to inappropriate speed.

Adapt your driving style, maneuvers and speed

to the road and weather conditions, as well as

the traffic situation.

Porsche Traction Management (PTM)

Porsche Traction Management (PTM) ensures the

best possible power distribution to the four driven

wheels on the front and rear axles. The system

always controls power distribution in such a way

that optimal propulsion is achieved, even on an

unfavorable road surface.
PTM is active at all times and, unlike PSM,

cannot be switched off.

Advantages of PTM

– Clearly perceptible improvement in traction,

driving stability and steering ability of the

vehicle.

– Better control of the vehicle when driven at its

performance limits.

– Improved straight-ahead tracking and stability.

– The above features allow for a sportier chassis

setup.

– Optimal drive torque distribution on all four

wheels, depending on the driving program.

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)

PTV Plus is a control system for lateral dynamic

braking intervention for sportier and more agile

cornering and features an electronically controlled

rear differential lock.
PTV Plus improves steering behavior and steering

precision with gentle braking interventions - which

are not even noticed by the driver - on the inside

rear wheel when cornering. The vehicle follows the

steering angle of the front wheels more precisely.

Understeering at the stability limit is almost fully

prevented. This in turn enhances the lateral-

acceleration potential. Higher cornering speeds

are then possible.
The electronically controlled rear differential lock

continuously checks the driving situation of the

vehicle and distributes the drive torque to the rear

axle as required. This has the following

advantages:

– Improved traction

– Reduced load change responses when

cornering at speed

– Improved driving stability at higher speeds

– Off-road traction is also significantly improved

due to the possibility of locking the rear

axle fully.

Please see the chapter “DRIVING PROGRAMS

FOR ON-ROAD AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING” on

page 184.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM)

PSM is an active control system for stabilization of

the vehicle during extreme driving maneuvers.

Advantages of PSM

– Best possible traction and lane-holding ability

in all driving situations – even on road surfaces

with varying friction.

– The system compensates for undesired

vehicle reactions (load-alteration effect) when

the driver releases the accelerator pedal or

brakes on corners. This compensation

functions up to the maximum lateral

acceleration.

– PSM actively stabilizes the vehicle as required

during dynamic driving maneuvers (e.g. rapid

steering movements, during lane changes or

on alternating corners).

– Improved braking stability on corners and on

different or varying road surfaces.

– Improved brake function and shorter stopping

distance in the event of emergency braking.

Operational readiness

PSM is switched on automatically every time you

start the engine.
