Adaptive air suspension.
The Panamera Turbo is equipped
with adaptive air suspension and
PASM as standard. This combined
system enhances both driving
dynamics and comfort at the
same time. For all other Panamera
models, adaptive air suspension
is available as an option.
It comprises a levelling system,
a manual lift function, ride-height
adjustment capability and the
ability to vary the spring rate.
The purpose of the levelling
system is to automatically keep
the vehicle level constant,
re gardless of load distribution.
For manoeuvring, the manual
lift function enables you to raise
the vehicle body by 20 mm to
minimise the risk of grounding,
e. g. when entering garages.*
When you select the ‘SPORT
PLUS’ chassis programme, the
height of the body automatically
drops to Low Level (–25 mm). At
the same time, a harder spring
rating is achieved through a
reduction in the amount of air
stored in the air suspension.
In simple terms, it’s a sports
chassis at the push of a button.
High Level.
At 20 mm above Normal Level,
this is intended for driving over
ramps and into garage entrances.
The chassis automatically reverts
to Normal Level as soon as
the vehicle reaches a speed of
18 mph (30 km/h).
Normal Level.
The usual height for the system
with a maximum ground clearance
of 144 mm above DIN unladen
weight.
Low Level.
This is 25 mm below Normal
Level with a maximum ground
clearance of 119 mm. In ‘SPORT
PLUS’ mode, the vehicle body
drops to Low Level and a harder
spring rate is set. This assures
optimum roadholding with a
sporty driving style.

* The vehicle must not be driven at High
Level on public roads as the maximum
permissible installation height of the
reflector units may then be exceeded.
