Driving and Driving Safety
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC)
Function
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) is
a system for roll stabilization of the vehicle body
when driving. Driving comfort and driving safety
are improved by active intervention of the anti-roll
bars on the front and rear axles.
No separate controls are available for the PDCC
system.
After selection of a chassis setup in Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM):
– comfort
– normal
– sport
PDCC automatically activates the corresponding
on-road driving program.

For information on selecting a chassis setup:
Please see the chapter “PORSCHE ACTIVE
SUSPENSION MANAGEMENT (PASM)” on
page 197.
PDCC automatically activates its off-road function
if the off-road driving program is switched on.

the special advantages of your vehicle, allowing
you to arrive at your destination safely every time.
We recommend practicing on less rugged terrain.
Vehicles with SportDesign package
Risk of damage. Front, rear and side member
trims are painted on vehicles with the SportDesign
package.
Off-road driving can seriously damage these trims.
f
When driving off-road, make sure these parts
are not damaged.
f
Make sure there is sufficient clearance
between obstacles and the underside of the
vehicle.
f
Avoid driving through water.

Do not use side member trims or rear wheel
spoilers as a running board.
Information
Please bear in mind that off-road driving subjects
all vehicle components to considerably more wear
than normal driving, making professional
inspection and maintenance after every use vital
preconditions for functioning and safety.
Grains of sand, dirt particles and other abrasive
materials entering the brakes can cause
excessive wear or unpredictable braking action.
