Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM)
The PASM system actively adjusts the shock
absorbers. The adjustable damper system selects
the appropriate damping level for each wheel
according to the driving situation and driving
conditions. Driving safety, agility and comfort are
optimised.
Two different chassis setups can be selected at
the push of a button:
– “Chassis Normal”
– “Chassis Sport”
In Normal mode the vehicle is in a sporty and
comfortable setup.
Sport mode offers very sporty shock absorber
tuning (e.g. for driving on the race circuit).
In addition to manual mode selection, PASM also
adjusts shock absorber tuning for either “Sport”
or “Comfort” driving, depending on the driving
situation.

On the button:

the multi-function display in the instrument panel
for approx. 4 seconds.
Information
The last selected chassis setup is stored in the
memory after the ignition is switched off.
