Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)

Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM)
PASM is a system for the active adjustment of shock
absorbers. The variable shock absorber system indi-
vidually regulates the relevant shock absorber stiff-
ness for each wheel depending on the driving
situation and driving conditions. Driving safety, agil-
ity, and comfort are optimized.
Three different chassis modes can be selected at the
push of a button:
– "Normal"
– "Sport"
– "Sport Plus"
In normal mode, the vehicle is in a comfortable set-
ting. The "Sport" chassis setup offers distinctly
sporty shock absorber control. "Sport Plus" mode
offers uncompromising shock absorber control,
which is optimized for sporty driving (e.g. on the race
circuit). In addition to the manual mode selection,
PASM also adjusts the shock absorber force re-
quirement toward sport or comfort, depending on
the driving situation.
