Foreword
With the launch of the first generation of Cayenne model in model year 2003,
Porsche advanced into the market segment of premium SUVs with great
success. Since then, the idea of a genuine Sports Car in the SUV segment
offering superior performance both on and off the road has established itself
so impressively that more than half a million vehicles in the 3rd model range
had left the assembly line by the end of 2013.
The new Cayenne models (model year 2015) will be launched in North America
beginning in November 2014. There is no doubt that these vehicles will
possess all the characteristics necessary to continue this success story. It
goes without saying for Porsche that it also occupies the leading position in the
areas of performance, design and driving dynamics in the SUV segment. At the
same time, Porsche has succeeded in significantly increasing social accep-
cardiagn.com
tance through continuous reduction of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. An
important contribution here is made by the first plug-in hybrid drive in the
premium C-SUV segment, the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid. Having said this, other
derivative models also offer more power with lower fuel consumption and
improved performance.
The top-of-the-range model, the Cayenne Turbo, now delivers 520 hp (+20 hp
compared with the predecessor). This permits acceleration from 0 to 62 mph
(100 km/h) in 4.5 sec, which represents an improvement of 0.2 s. At the same Fuel consumption numbers shown are
time, the fuel consumption was reduced by 0.2 l to 11.3 l/100 km. The according to the NEDC. US EPA ratings
Cayenne Diesel sets new standards in terms of exhaust emissions and now were not available at the time of print.
For the new Cayenne also, customer enthusiasm can be maintained only if all
AfterSales employees service and repair the vehicles in a highly professional
way right from the start. A high level of qualification in the entire AfterSales
organization is an important prerequisite for ensuring that this can be guaran-
teed in spite of the increasingly complex technology in our vehicles and the net-
worked world.

For the market launch, the Cayenne model year 2015 is available in the
variants:
• Cayenne Diesel,
• Cayenne S,
• Cayenne Turbo.
Thanks to software optimizations, the engines familiar from the predecessor are avail-
able for the Cayenne MY 2105 with slightly improved power and fuel consumption val-
ues. The 3.6 l V6 biturbo engine familiar from the Macan is used for the first time in this
model range in the Cayenne S. This replaces the 4.8 l V8 naturally-aspirated engine in
these models.

3.6 liter V6 biturbo engine 1_03_15
The Cayenne S is powered by the 3.6 l V6 biturbo engine introduced for the first time in
the Macan Turbo. This replaces the previously used 4.8 l V8 naturally-aspirated engine.
Due to its 90° V arrangement and a very compact design, the Cayenne S MY 2015 has a
lower center of gravity which is also located further to the rear in comparison with its
predecessors.
The familiar lively engine characteristics are produced from a bore of 96 mm and a short
stroke of 83 mm. High power values are achieved in combination with the two turbo-
chargers, which are installed in compact design on the left and right and deliver a boost
pressure of up to 17.4 psi (1.2 bar). Compared with the 4.8 l V8 engine, the power output
per liter of the engine was thus increased from 83 hp/l to 117 hp/l.

3.6 liter V6 biturbo engine 1_07_15
The Cayenne S is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 biturbo engine. Apart from a small number of
modifications, this engine is the same as the 3.6-liter V6 biturbo engine of the Macan
Turbo. In the Cayenne S MY 2015, the engine delivers 420 hp (309 kW) at 6,000 rpm.
The new 3.6-liter V6 biturbo engine makes consistent use of downsizing and impresses
through outstanding performance combined with particularly high efficiency. Particular
attention was paid during the development of this engine to achieving the highest specific
output combined with outstanding emission and fuel consumption values.

Cayenne
Objective
When developing the engine block, the focus was on lightweight construction, stability
under load and reliability as well as downsizing. It was possible to achieve these
apparently contradictory goals by constructing the engine block from several parts with
Engine
1
materials selected according to the different loads in each case. The engine block
consists of a two-part crankcase, the oil sump and the timing-case cover.
Crankcase
The crankcase of the Porsche Cayenne S is designed as a two-part “closed deck” alloy
construction (AlSi17Cu4Mg). In the closed-deck design, the sealing surface of the
crankcase to the cylinder head is largely closed. There are bores and channels for oil and
coolant. The entire structure is additionally strengthened as a result of this design. This
leads to less cylinder distortion and helps to reduce oil consumption.
cardiagn.com
Crankcase 1_09_15
The alloy used for the crankcase is a hypereutectic alloy in which silicon crystals form in
order to create a wear-resistant surface. The cylinder lining is machined by multiple
special honing operations (spiral slide honing).

2015 Cayenne Section 1_TOC.qxd 9/30/14 9:36 AM Page 10
Cayenne
Engine
1 The crankcase lower part is machined together with the upper part and paired. To keep
the weight as low as possible, inserts made from spheroidal graphite cast iron have been
dispensed with and the wall thickness reduced.
cardiagn.com
1_10_15
The crankcase lower part also acts as a ladder frame and the main bearing pedestals are
therefore integrated in it. A low-pressure chill-casting procedure is used to produce the
upper and lower parts of the crankcase.

Crankshaft
The drop-forged crankshaft runs in four bearings and has six balancing weights.
Crankshaft bearings
Main bearing 3 is designed as a thrust bearing. Axial play is determined by two thrust
Engine

washers, which are inserted into the bearing halves. The main bearings are binary
bearings with a diameter of 64 mm. Since the lower part of the crankcase is made of an
all-aluminum alloy, the main bearings are reinforced and the retaining lugs have been
changed to avoid confusion.
Connecting rod
cardiagn.com
In order to prevent incorrect assembly of
the connecting rods, matching numbers
are additionally provided on the rods and
the bores for the fastening screws are
offset.
1_12_15
A predetermined breaking point is produced on the big end of the forged connecting rods
with a length of 155.4 mm by way of a laser beam. The connecting rod is then broken
(cracked) at this point. The two parts are aligned with one another via the fractured
surface created in this way.
Connecting-rod bearings
The connecting-rod bearings are designed as binary bearings at the cap end and ternary
bearings at the rod end. The diameter is 54 mm. The connecting-rod bearings are
supplied with oil via bores in the crankshaft.

Pistons
Engine
1 The forged pistons are designed as recessed-head type pistons and made of an aluminum
alloy. A special lightweight design is used to reduce the piston weight and therefore
increase engine liveliness. A plastic coating permeated with iron particles applied by
screen printing (Ferroprint) to improve the running-in characteristics and increase
resistance to seizing.
cardiagn.com
1_13_15
The pistons of cylinder banks 1 and 2 are different. The position and shape of the piston
recess allows the injected fuel to be swirled and mixed with the air that is drawn in.
Piston rings
The pistons of the 3.6-liter V6 biturbo engines have two compression rings and an oil
scraper ring. The engine friction is reduced by the DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating of
the piston rings.

Vacuum pump
Increased engine dethrottling means that the vacuum supply is no longer sufficient under
unfavorable conditions, e.g. low external air pressure at high altitudes and highly dynamic

Diagnosis
Correct operation of the vacuum pump can be checked with a vacuum tester. In this
check, mainly the secondary load connection is tested due to anomalies. The main
connection (brake booster) is not checked. Defects in the main connection would be
apparent immediately due to increasing pedal forces during braking (similar to a defective
brake booster).
Repairs
A fault in the vacuum pump can lead to engine oil entering the vacuum system. In this
case, the lines and switching valves must therefore be checked visually and replaced if
necessary or cleaned with solvent naphtha.

Objective
Use of VarioCam plus means that the valve drive in the 3.6-liter V6 biturbo engine is fully
variable. In other words, both the timing of the intake and exhaust camshafts and also the
valve lift of one intake valve per cylinder are optimally adapted by the DME to the respec-

tive operating condition. This increases the efficiency of the engine. Lightweight camshafts
and friction-optimized camshaft bearings and valve guides contribute to a further increase
in efficiency.

Valves
Engine
1 The intake and exhaust valves of the V6 biturbo engines have a stem diameter of 6 mm.
Intake valves
The intake valves are monometallic valves, whereby the intake valve with constant lift is
additionally nitrided.
Exhaust valves
The exhaust valves are bimetallic. This means that different material are used for the valve
disc and the bottom part of the valve stem and for the upper valve stem. The exhaust
valves are additionally filled with sodium.
Valve springs

3 Valve springs, exhaust valves
1_21_15
The intake valve springs for the switchable intake valve are designed as a conical double
spring set. This permits realization of a very compact design. A single beehive-shaped
spring is used for the intake valve with constant lift. This allows generation of very low
spring forces with good intrinsic damping. Cylindrical double valve spring sets are installed
to ensure that the exhaust valves close even at high pressures in the exhaust system.

Engine
1 Objective
Due to the high power requirements, VarioCam vane adjusters are used on the intake and
exhaust camshafts of the 3.6-liter V6 biturbo engine.
Design
The exhaust adjuster is equipped with a torsion spring since this adjuster must perform
adjustment against the engine’s direction of rotation when the engine is switched off.
VarioCam adjusting units
cardiagn.com
2 Camshaft actuator
3 Cylinder head
Function
Both vane adjusters are continuously adjusted by map control. VarioCam adjustment
ranges:
The central bolt establishes a frictional connection between the VarioCam adjustment
device and the camshaft. In addition to the function of connecting the VarioCam system
and camshaft, the central bolt also performs the function of adjustment as initiated by the
actuator. The 4-way proportional control valve is supplied via camshaft bearing 1. An
actuator (electromechanical solenoid) aligned axially with respect to the camshaft axis is
responsible for controlling the valve and therefore also adjustment.
The advantages of the central valve concept include the increased adjustment speed and
higher control accuracy of the adjustment system. This is achieved by very short oil ducts
and the resultant short control distances. A further advantage is provided by the very
compact installation dimensions due to the central arrangement in the camshafts and vane
adjusters.

Objective
VarioCam plus allows switching of the valve lift in two stages. On the 3.6-liter V6 biturbo
engine, one of the two intake valves is opened with a constant lift, while the second intake
valve is opened with small or full lift depending on engine speed and load. The different

Timing drive mechanism 1_26_15
The chain drive in the 3.6-liter V6 biturbo engine consists of two drive chains. The crank-
shaft drives all four camshafts via a timing chain. The oil pump and balance shaft are
driven via a second chain.
Balance shaft
Oil pump drive 1_27_15 A free first-order moment of inertia is produced in the 90° V6 biturbo engine which is
compensated by balancing weights on the crankshaft and masses on the balance shaft.
Since the balance shaft should be installed as centrally as possible under the middle of the
engine, it is installed directly next to the oil pump housing.

Objective
To guarantee a reliable oil supply in all driving situations, the V6 biturbo engine of the
Cayenne S is equipped with an integrated dry-sump lubrication system. The oil pan is
designed in two parts and has an upper and lower part. The oil-water heat exchanger and
Engine

Engine
1 The V6 biturbo engines are also equipped with an electronic demand-controlled oil pump in
order to reduce drive losses and therefore increase the efficiency of the engine while at
the same time reducing the fuel consumption.
Design
The oil pump is accommodated in a common housing with the balance shaft and installed
in the oil pan. It is driven by the crankshaft via a chain.
cardiagn.com
6 Drive sprocket
7 Turbocharger oil extraction line for
cylinder bank 4 – 6
Like the V8 biturbo engines, the V6 biturbo engines also have an additional pressure oil
line for lubricating the turbochargers. A turbocharger suction pump is integrated in the
main oil pump for extraction of the lubricating oil.
Function
The delivery rate of the engine oil pump is pressure- and volume-controlled over the entire
engine map. In other words, a demand-based engine oil pressure is set with a defined oil
volume for each engine operating state, e.g. different engine speeds and loads.
Depending on the input values for engine speed, engine load, engine oil temperature and
the expected change in engine speed, a specific control valve position is defined using a
map in the DME control unit. The control valve position regulates the oil pressure for the
control piston on the gear wheel, which can be displaced in axial direction. No oil pressure
is present on the other side (spring piston) and only the spring force acts here. The control
valve is open fully in non-energized state, there is no oil pressure at the control piston
(path B), and there is therefore no displacement of the gear wheel.
24
2015 Cayenne Section 1_TOC.qxd 9/30/14 9:36 AM Page 25
Cayenne
In contrast, the control piston side is pressurized with oil pressure in energized state (path
1
A), and this displaces the gear wheel against the acting spring force. The teeth are then
only partially engaged as a result of gear wheel displacement. The power and friction and

Objective
Oil spray nozzles are installed on the upper part of the crankcase in order to reduce the

improved lubrication of the cylinder lining. In order to ensure the necessary engine oil

The 3.6 l V6 biturbo engines are also equipped with a PULS (packaged ultrasonic level
sensor) oil level sensor for oil level measurement. This sensor measures the oil level and
the oil temperature.
Function
The transmitted ultrasonic impulses form a virtual cylinder above the oil level and oil
temperature sensor. The ultrasonic impulses are reflected at the oil/air boundary layer.
The sensor calculates the height of this virtual cylinder and therefore the oil level from the
time between transmitting and receiving the impulses.

Determination of the oil level
The oil level measurement is performed while driving over a distance of 31 miles (50 km)

as well as with warm engine (oil temperature > 149° F/65° C) and horizontally parked
vehicle (engine off > 120 seconds) and ignition on.
The oil level is reset after the bonnet is opened. The oil level can be measured immediately
when the hood is closed. Preconditions: Oil temperature > 149° F (65° C) and engine is
off for longer than 120 seconds. If the preconditions are not met, the message “Oil level
available only after short time/distance” appears in the multifunction display. If the vehicle
is driven off immediately after opening the hood without the conditions being met, it is
necessary either to drive for a minimum of 9 miles (15 km) or the vehicle must be
stopped with the engine at operating temperature (oil temperature > 158° F/70° C) for
two minutes with the engine off and ignition on in order to view the oil level in the multi-
function display.
The quantity difference between the minimum and maximum markings is 1.6 qts (1.5 l). If
the oil level indication function fails, the message “Failure Oil level measurement” is shown
on the multi-function display.
The oil level indicator no longer displays segments. A continuous bar is displayed instead.
In the event of a MIN warning, the warning also includes indication of the maximum oil
quantity that can be topped up.

The intelligent thermal management system in the Cayenne models regulates the tempera-

The fuel low-pressure system is identical to the previous model. The SIT Cayenne MY
2011 contains information on the fuel low-pressure system.
The use of direct fuel injection for gasoline engines created a fuel high-pressure side in
addition to the fuel low-pressure side. Injection pressures of up to 2,900 psi (200 bar) are
realized on the fuel high-pressure side.

Function
The high fuel pressure of the Cayenne S V6 biturbo engine required for DFI is generated by
two fuel high-pressure pumps. The fuel high-pressure system operates with fuel pressures
of approximately 1,740 psi (120 bar) at idle speed up to 2,900 psi (200 bar) at full throt-
tle. Multihole injectors are used to guarantee optimum fuel injection.
35
2015 Cayenne Section 2_TOC.qxd 9/30/14 9:37 AM Page 36
Cayenne
Diagnosis
The quantity control valves of the fuel high-pressure pumps regulate the fuel pressure
based on demand in accordance with a map in order to achieve optimum combustion at
low loads for optimum fuel consumption as well at high power or high torque. The quantity
control valve is located directly on the fuel high-pressure pump.
Function
The fuel high pressure is regulated to the required value by the pulse-width-modulated
(PWM) signal of the quantity control valves, which are installed on the fuel high-pressure
cardiagn.com
pumps. If there is no PWM signal present at the quantity control valve, the valve is deener-
gized and fully open. The fuel pressure is then reduced to the minimum value.
Objective
Important tasks of the fuel distribution pipe are ensuring a uniform supply of fuel to the
fuel injectors and maintaining the fuel pressure after the engine is switched off. Like on the
diesel engine, this pipe is also referred to as a rail.
Cayenne
Function
The fuel that has been pressurized by the two high-pressure pumps is supplied via con-
necting lines to the two rails of cylinder banks 1 and 2. These are connected with each
other via a line. This means that the same pressure is present throughout the entire fuel
distribution pipe. The six fuel injectors are supplied with fuel directly by these fuel distribu-
tion pipes.

Function
Since the rails are connected via a line, measurement of the fuel high-pressure is neces-

sary at only one of the two rails.
Injectors
The V6 biturbo engine uses new 6-hole injectors. In addition to improved fuel distribution in
the combustion chamber, multi-hole injectors allow better swirling of the fuel and thus
ensure an optimized combustion process for lower emissions combined with increased
efficiency and power. It was possible to significantly improve the running smoothness of
the engine through the combination of a higher fuel injection pressure (2,900 psi /200
bar) and the 6-hole injector. The figures 2_06_15 and 2_07_15 show the spray patterns
of the multi-hole injectors.

Turbocharger
Objective
A turbocharger serves to increase the power and efficiency of combustion engines. The
turbocharger uses the residual energy in the exhaust gas in the form of kinetic energy on
the turbine side and thus creates an overpressure on the intake side. This boost pressure
DME engine electronics
2
results in improved cylinder charging and it is not necessary to use energy to suck air into
the cylinder.
Design
cardiagn.com
Turbocharger, bank 1 2_09_15 Turbocharger, bank 2 2_10_15
The turbocharging system in the Cayenne S was realized by two wastegate turbochargers
in a parallel configuration. The exhaust side of the turbocharger consists of a one-piece
housing in integral cast steel design from the manifold to the exhaust turbine and is joined
to the fresh-air compressor side at the turbocharger by a clamped connection. The tur-
bocharger has a lubricating oil supply and a water cooling system connected to the engine
cooling system. The connecting shaft of the turbocharger establishes a mechanical con-
nection between the exhaust turbine and fresh-air compressor and rotates at speeds of up
to 195,000 rpm.
Function
The boost pressure is controlled via wastegate valves or in deceleration mode by diverter
valves. At boost pressure, ventilation of the crankcase and of the active carbon filter also
takes place via the intake side of the turbocharger.

Design
The vacuum unit is bolted directly onto the turbocharger and closes and opens the waste-
gate valve by way of a push/pull rod.
Function
Wastegate control takes place via vacuum. A cycle valve closes the wastegate valve with
the push/pull rod by applying a vacuum to the unit. The wastegate valve is opened again
by allowing atmospheric pressure into the vacuum unit.
Diagnosis
cardiagn.com
In the event of leaks in the vacuum system for controlling the two wastegate valves, the
wastegate valves open and it is not possible to build up boost pressure. The engine then
switches to emergency operating mode and is operated with low boost pressure (close to
ambient pressure).

Cayenne
Function
If the throttle valve is closed by the electronic throttle actuator after a change from trac-
tion to deceleration mode, the compressor has to work against the closed throttle valve. A
bypass is opened between the suction side and pressure side of the compressor in order
to maintain the boost pressure, thereby allowing compressed air to pass from the charge
air cooler to the suction side of the turbocharger. The compressor then runs practically in
DME engine electronics
2
freewheel mode and can maintain its speed for longer. As a result, the turbine speed is
higher after deceleration operation and the engine offers better responsiveness for accel-
eration.
The electropneumatic switching valve for deceleration air is located under the intake mani-
fold in the area of the vacuum reservoir. In order to prevent the valve from opening inde-
pendently, it is necessary to tap the pressure supply upstream of the throttle valve. As a
result, an overpressure is present at the diverter valve in partial load operation with boost
pressure.

Diagnosis
Design
There are two charge air coolers (air/air heat exchangers) on the left and right in the
engine compartment downstream of the turbocharger compressor; the intake air flows
through these charge air coolers. The integration of the charge air coolers in the intake
system is shown in Figure 2_08_15.
Function
The charge air coolers reduce the intake air temperature in order to reduce the combus-
tion temperature and improve the cylinder charging. The intake air flows through the
respective charge air cooler from the bottom to the top.
The digital pressure sensor for detecting the boost pressure is located upstream of the
throttle valve.

Intake system
The Cayenne S has a twin-branch expansion intake manifold. In addition to air flow, air
oscillations are also produced by opening of the intake valves. These oscillations comprise
a compression phase (air compression) when the intake valves are closed and an expan-
sion phase (air expansion) when the intake valves open. In an expansion intake manifold,
the air ahead of the combustion chamber is used and routed into the combustion chamber
in its expansion phase. This means, however, that less air is supplied into the cylinders.
This is compensated by a slightly increased boost pressure of the turbochargers.
The higher charge-air temperature that results from the increased boost pressure is in turn
compensated for by optimized charge air coolers. The fresh air cooled down by the
charge air cooler is additionally cooled again by further expansion in the expansion intake
manifold. Since air cools down when it expands, the air charge has a lower temperature
before entering the combustion chamber. The cooler fuel-air mixture can be ignited with
optimum power development, thereby achieving a further enhancement in efficiency.
44

cardiagn.com
Function
The expansion intake manifold requires short distances over the intake valve for optimum
operation. This was realized by two separate chambers for the left and right cylinder
banks. The expansion intake manifold has a separator element after the throttle valve
(electronic throttle) which separates the two chambers. In order to ensure optimum mix-
ture control, the intake ports for tank ventilation and crankcase ventilation were also
designed so that uniform supply into both chambers is possible behind the throttle valve.
Function
Use of a digital pressure sensor to detect the engine load dethrottles the intake path com-

The crankcase ventilation system consists of two pressure regulators with a pair of lines,
each. Per side, one line leads to the expansion intake manifold and one to the intake side
of the turbocharger. For the positive crankcase ventilation system, there is also one air
tube which runs from the intake Y pipe to the right side of the crankcase (see Figure
2_08_15).
46
2015 Cayenne Section 2_TOC.qxd 9/30/14 9:37 AM Page 47
Cayenne
Function
The ventilation channels are controlled by means of two pressure-regulating valves which
are mounted on the cylinder banks. Crankcase ventilation on the Cayenne S always takes
place on a cylinder bank-specific basis. At idle speed, for example, a vacuum is present in
the expansion intake manifold due to the lack of boost pressure and low air throughput of
the turbochargers. The crankcase is vented via the intake pipe. This takes place individual-
DME engine electronics
2
ly for each bank side. For this reason, there are two infeed points on the expansion intake
manifold. To prevent the crankcase ventilation system from freezing during the winter, the
blow-by gases are supplied to the combustion air through a heatable connector on the
expansion intake manifold (2_14_15).
If boost pressure is present so that there is an overpressure in the expansion intake mani-
fold, venting then takes place via the intake side of the turbochargers. The positive
crankcase ventilation system takes fresh air from the Y pipe upstream of the throttle valve
and feeds it via a line to the crankcase. The pressure gradient that exists at all times
between the tapping location and the crankcase causes a steady flow of fresh air through
cardiagn.com
the crankcase at all map points. The vacuum in the intake pipe is used in the partial load
range to ensure the legally required vacuum in the crankcase under all driving conditions.
A pressure-regulating valve regulates this vacuum until the required value is reached. The
vacuum ahead of the compressor is used in the operating range with built-up charge pres-
sure (full load) in which no vacuum is present in the intake pipe.

Crankshaft position sensor with multi-pole sensor wheel 2_16_15
The crankshaft position sensor is routed through a T-groove in the bottom part of the
crankcase and is screwed to the oil guide housing. The most important new feature is the
multi-pole sensor wheel with 60 – 2 teeth which is pressed onto the crankshaft in the cor-
rect position (the sensor wheel actually has 60 teeth, however 2 teeth were removed by
milling).
Function
The crankshaft position sensor is a newly developed position sensor which works accord-
ing to the differential Hall-effect sensor principle. This performs several functions com-
pared with the inductive crankshaft sensor. With the differential Hall-effect sensor, the
direction of rotation of the crankshaft can be detected in addition to the engine speed. The
DME control unit needs the engine speed and crankshaft position in order to calculate the
injection timing and the injection quantity. In addition to an installation position that reduces
the required installation space, detection of the crankshaft position at the transmission-
side crankshaft journal has the advantage that the sensing accuracy can be further
improved by a smaller number of components in the tolerance chain compared with sens-
ing at the outer edge of the flywheel. Detection of the direction of rotation is an important
feature for vehicles with Auto Start Stop function and allows detection of the exact crank-
shaft position for an accelerated restart.

Camshaft adjustment device, bank 2 2_18_15
Objective
Adaptation of the valve opening times enables the engine efficiency to be increased,
depending on the respective load behavior. This increase has the effect of enhancing pow-
er output and torque, and saving fuel. VarioCam vane adjusters are used on the intake and
exhaust camshafts of the V6 biturbo engine. Both vane adjusters can be continuously
adjusted by map control.
Function
The engine control unit determines the current position of the camshafts relative to the
crankshaft from the camshaft position sensors and the crankshaft signal. The position
control receives the desired setpoint angle stored in the control unit via the programmed
maps (rpm, load, engine speed, etc.). A controller activates the solenoids to realize the
required adjustment when there is a difference between the setpoint angle and actual
angle. The maximum adjustment angle is 50° crank angle on the intake side and 55°
crank angle on the exhaust side.
50
2015 Cayenne Section 2_TOC.qxd 9/30/14 9:37 AM Page 51
Cayenne
The available adjustment range of the camshafts also enables intentional valve overlap of
2
the intake and exhaust valves. The goal is to realize a slightly positive pressure gradient
across the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is flushed with fresh air and
DME engine electronics
cooled. This has the advantage of reducing the combustion chamber temperature. At the
same time, the remaining hydrocarbon fractions are flushed out and the knock sensitivity
of the engine is reduced. The result is a better center of combustion with lower combus-
tion fluctuations and reduced soot emissions. This enables a further reduction in the fuel
consumption.
This process, also called scavenging, is used at low engine speed and under correspond-
ing load conditions. Due to the higher air throughput through the turbine of the turbocharg-
er, it is possible to increase the speed of the turbine and therefore of the compressor.
Higher turbocharger speeds result in an increase in the boost pressure, which in turn
means increased torque and faster responsiveness of the turbocharger. The air concentra-
tion in the exhaust tract increases when scavenging is activated. The oxygen sensor mea-
sures a lambda value greater than 1 in the exhaust gas. In the combustion chamber, how-
ever, the lambda value is 1 for optimum combustion.

switching valve include the higher adjustment speeds due to the lower pressure losses in
the oil supply, which was realized by very short oil ducts. The omission of further oil ducts
in the cylinder head as well as simpler oil transfer between cylinder head and camshaft
bearing are design modifications and optimizations in the cylinder head. A significant
advantage of the axial arrangement of the switching valve compared with the decentral-
ized switching valve is increased switching performance, i.e. increased adjustment speed
and the associated reduced installation space. It was also possible to therefore improve
the hot idle behavior.
Design
Adjustment of the intake and exhaust camshafts is based on the principle of a vane
adjuster. The adjusters used are made entirely of aluminum in order to reduce the rotating
masses at high engine speeds and the gross engine weight. As an enhancement to the
existing system, the adjuster is controlled via a central valve that is also used for screw
connection of the camshaft. The valve is actuated via a solenoid arranged along the
camshaft axis. This concept permits a significant improvement in control quality and speed
of adjustment compared with the decentralized valve.

The intake camshaft has an innovative design with just one intake valve with adjustable lift.
The lift of the second intake valve is fixed; this is called asymmetric valve control. This
asymmetric valve control results in strong swirl generation for efficient ignition of the fuel-
air mixture.
Function
The intake camshaft has a total of four different cam profiles. Three of the four cam pro-
files are responsible for the intake valves. One cam profile is designed with a constant lift
of 2.5 mm. Two other cam profiles for the variable valve lift switchover are designed with
a valve lift of 3.6 mm and 10.3 mm. The fourth cam profile is responsible for driving the
fuel high-pressure pump.

Design
There is a switching valve located in the end of each cylinder head (near cylinders 3 and
6). The switching valve is shown in Figure 2_17_15.
Swirl produces a vortex along the cylinder The distribution of the fuel in the combustion chamber can be determined on the one hand
axis. Tumble produces a vortex at right by the position and spray angles of the multi-hole injectors and on the other by the swirl
angles to the axial direction of the piston. and tumble of the fresh air flowing into the chamber. For this purpose, the intake side on
the V6 biturbo engine was designed for optimum air swirl with respect to valve lift and
intake port geometry. The geometric design of the piston crown additionally contributes to
optimizing charge motion in the combustion chamber.
Function
In order to meet the requirements with respect to reduction of fuel consumption and run-
ning smoothness while at the same time increasing the mean pressures, it is necessary to
increase the charge motion in the cylinder. To achieve this, the intake valves on the new
Cayenne S V6 turbo engine feature asymmetric valve lift. When the intake valves are
opened, the asymmetry causes a swirl-shaped flow to build up. The swirl effect is ampli-
fied after the small lift intake valve closes.

Tank ventilation
Objective
Modern vehicles must not discharge any fuel vapors from the tank system into the environ-
ment. These vapors are harmful to the environment and to health. The fuel vapors must
therefore be temporarily stored and supplied to the engine by the tank ventilation system
at an appropriate time.
Function
Tank ventilation in the Cayenne S takes place either into the expansion intake manifold or
into the intake side of the left turbocharger, depending on the vacuum or boost pressure
present. The system is controlled by interconnection of two check valves. The goal of both
methods of tank ventilation is to achieve homogeneous distribution of the gases extracted
from the carbon canister to both cylinder banks under all load conditions.
Cayenne

Complete fuel tank ventilation system 2_20_15
Ventilation takes place into the expansion intake manifold in the near-idle range where
there is therefore a vacuum downstream of the throttle valve. The gases are distributed
directly into both chambers of the expansion intake manifold. Homogeneous distribution of
the fuel gases extracted from the carbon canister to both cylinder banks is advantageous.
The connection point of the tank ventilation system at the expansion intake manifold is
also shown in Figure 2_14_15.
Tank ventilation takes place according to the Venturi principle into the intake side of the
left turbocharger for faster scavenging of the carbon canister under full load, i.e. with
open throttle and boost pressure in the expansion intake manifold. There is an air flow
through the bypass line between the pressure side of the turbocharger (downstream of the
compressor) and the suction side due to the pressure difference. This volume flow
attempts to compensate for the pressure difference.

There is a Venturi nozzle integrated in the bypass line. The volume flow creates a vacuum
at the connecting line of the Venturi nozzle for the tank ventilation. The check valve opens,
the gases flow through the Venturi nozzle into the fresh intake air and are then com-

Ignition coil
New ignition coils with captive steel screws are used in the V6 biturbo engines. The newly
developed ignition coils generate a higher ignition voltage and are realized in “plug top”
design. Ignition voltages of up to 25 kV were normal in the past.
Diodes on the secondary side prevent an ignition spark from arcing over due to induction
and thus initiating undesired combustion when the magnetic field is switched on. A resis-
tance measurement is therefore not possible.

Spark plugs
Single-spark ignition coil 2_23_15
The spark plugs in the V6 biturbo engine can be visually distinguished from the previous
spark plugs by the modified high-voltage terminal. These spark plugs no longer have a ter-
minal stud but instead have a contact plate for contacting. The connection point between
the secondary winding and spring for contacting the spark plug in the ignition coil can be
aligned if necessary. A further distinguishing feature of the new spark plugs is the smooth
insulator design, which permits air-gap-free contact of the silicone sheath on the ignition
coil.
Important!
Maintenance-related features
Slight coating of the silicone sheath with
talcum powder is permitted to facilitate
reinstallation and above all removal of the
ignition coil. Other lubricants must not be
used as they can negatively influence the
insulation capability of the ignition system.

the related modified winding of the contacting spring. These two measures significantly
increase the insulation capacity of the ignition system and therefore allow the required igni-
tion energy to be directed safely into the combustion chamber.

Objective
Targeted heating of the catalytic converters is required in order to reach the conversion
temperature and achieve compliance with the emission limits. The use of the chemical
energy in the exhaust gas requires the introduction of secondary air into the exhaust tract
upstream of the catalytic converters.
Function
A check valve allows additional air to be injected into the exhaust system upstream of the
catalytic converter for a defined period by means of the secondary-air pump under corre-
sponding conditions during the warm-up phase. The rich engine operation in this operating
state produces a higher level of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) in the
exhaust gas, which is combusted using the secondary air injected immediately behind the
exhaust valves. The heat that is released during post-combustion means that the optimum
operating temperature of the catalytic converter for optimum exhaust aftertreatment is
reached more quickly.

The air flow generated by the secondary air pump is delivered to the two secondary air

Function
The secondary air valves are opened by positive pressure when the pump is turned on.
The pathway in the cylinder heads connects to the exhaust ports downstream of the
exhaust valves. The air flows from there into the exhaust manifold, and on to the catalytic
converters.

Catalytic converters
The emissions limits for gasoline engines are becoming ever more stringent and therefore
require optimized exhaust aftertreatment by catalytic converters. Since the conversion
rate of catalytic converters depends greatly on the temperature of the catalytic converter,
ways must be found to reduce the cold-start phase of the engine and in this way reach the
catalytic converter temperature as quickly as possible.
Function
The purpose of the main and underbody catalytic converter is to ensure the chemical con-
version of hazardous exhaust gas components produced during the combustion process
into harmless substances. Unburnt hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen
oxide (NOx) are converted into carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and nitrogen (N2).
cardiagn.com
Design
The broadband oxygen sensor upstream of the catalytic converter (LSU) is located just
behind the turbocharger flange. The step-change oxygen sensor downstream of the cat-
alytic converter (LSF) is located between the main and underfloor catalytic converter.
Function
The LSU compares the residual oxygen content in the exhaust gas and the oxygen content
of the air and forwards this value to the DME control unit so that the mixture composition
in the control circuit can be adjusted. The LSF monitors the function of the main catalytic
converter. Since a certain percentage of the residual oxygen content is used to convert
the pollutant material in the exhaust gas with a fully functioning main catalytic converter,
this must measure a lower oxygen content than the LSU. As well as monitoring the conver-
sion rate of the catalytic converter, the LSF can also be used to improve the accuracy of
the lambda control and to check the plausibility of the first sensor during self-diagnosis.
Diagnosis

the small heating circuit and large cooling circuit are closed.
The thermostat has the following opening temperatures without electrical auxil-
iary heater:
In order to quickly achieve circulation in the heating circuit (bypass) in the warm-up phase,
a large electrical heating current is required after a cold start. The heating current for the
electric heating element in the thermostat is reduced above an engine temperature of
approximately 158° F (70° C) so that the thermostat does not immediately open the large

cooling circuit.
Thermostat closed 2_39_15
If an engine temperature of approximately 194° F (90° C) and an oil temperature of 104° F
(40° C) are exceeded, the engine setpoint temperature is increased to 221° F (105° C). At
the same time, the heating current is reduced again significantly so that the coolant in the
small circuit is heated as quickly as possible to 221° F (105° C) (the large circuit remains
closed).
Both thermostat states (heating circuit and cooling circuit) are open when the engine is at
operating temperature; the coolant can thus circulate in both circuits. At an engine temper-
ature of approximately 221° F (105° C), the heating current is adjusted correspondingly so
that the engine setpoint temperature is maintained when the large cooling circuit is
opened. When the Sport button is pressed or in the case of a very dynamic driving style,

the engine setpoint temperature is reduced to 201° F (94° C). For this purpose, the heat-

further. The temperature at the radiator outlet increases when the large cooling circuit is
opened.

To ensure compliance with the increasingly stringent emissions limits, a pressure sensor
for measuring the combustion pressure is installed in the BIN5 exhaust gas variant. This
pressure sensor is integrated in the glow element and only installed on the second cylin-
der. The signals from the combustion chamber pressure sensor are transmitted directly to
the DME control unit.

used to determine several data items. The center of combustion as a measure for the igni-
tion delay and the maximum pressure increase as a measure for the EGR rate were identi-

fied as meaningful control variables. Since the cetane number influences the ignition delay,
the signals from the combustion chamber pressure sensor are used to compensate differ-
ent ignition delays with cylinder pressure-based combustion position control. With low
cetane ratings, the start of injection must be advanced. If the position of the center of
combustion is the same, there are no differences in fuel consumption and NOx emissions.

The pressure provided by the fuel low-pressure system is not sufficient for the injectors
connected to the fuel distribution pipe. The fuel is therefore delivered by the fuel high-pres-

The high-pressure pump is located on the transmission side in the inner V of the cylinder
block below the turbocharger. It is driven directly by the crankshaft by the drive chain for

A ratio of 1:0.75 with respect to the crankshaft was chosen to ensure that delivery is syn-

6 Actuator for turbocharger
Function
As well as using an air gap-insulated exhaust manifold, the exhaust turbine housing of the
VTG turbocharger is enclosed with a heat-insulating aluminum shell (integral insulation) in
order to reduce the heat emitted by the exhaust gases into the engine compartment and
to effectively transfer the exhaust-gas temperature to the oxidation catalytic converter and
the diesel particle filter. The operating temperature of the catalytic converter and the nec-
essary ignition temperature for the soot particles deposited in the diesel particle filter are
reached even more quickly and emissions are reduced.
The exhaust-gas temperature sensor mounted on the exhaust side serves the purpose of
component protection. If the turbocharger becomes too hot, the maximum boost pressure
is reduced until the temperature of the component is back within the required range. The
engine oil lubrication supply and return lines at the turbocharger are integrated in the bear-
ing pedestal and therefore in the turbocharger housing. The design keeps the number of
individual components and interfaces small and reduces the risk of oil leaks.

Downstream of the central swirl flap, the intake manifold is realized in twin branches up to
the intake sides of the two cylinder heads. The upper half routes the air into the filling
ports and the lower half routes the air into the swirl ports. If the swirl flap closes the filling
ports in the lower rpm range, for example, the cylinders are filled with air only via the swirl
ports. The gas speed increases and therefore also the swirl effect. This results in better
filling of the cylinders and more effective combustion.

After the exhaust gases have left the VTG turbocharger, they first flow through the oxida-
tion catalytic converter. In order to reach the operating temperature as quickly as possi-
ble, the oxidation catalytic converter is close-coupled. The integration of the oxidation cat-
alytic converter in the exhaust system is illustrated in figure 2_61_15.
Function
cardiagn.com
Here, carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2)
and water vapor (H2O). Due to the oxygen surplus during the combustion of diesel, it is not
yet possible here to reduce the nitrogen oxides (NOX).
Objective
In order to guarantee optimal exhaust gas aftertreatment, the exhaust system includes a
diesel particle filter. This is in addition to the close-coupled oxidation catalytic converter
and SCR system. This filter has the task of reducing the amount of particulate matter in
the exhaust gas.
Function
The particles that result from combustion in the diesel engine are stored in the particle fil-
ter before being burned during regeneration.
Function
This filters the exhaust gases and stores the particulate matter until the diesel particle fil-
ter load reaches the regeneration limit. The particle load is determined via the exhaust
backpressure. Regeneration takes place by achieving the combustion temperature in the
diesel particle filter.
When driving at full throttle, the temperature in the exhaust gas and thus in the particle fil-
ter rises so that passive regeneration can take place. If the combustion temperature in the
diesel particle filter cannot be achieved, active regeneration is initiated through a modified
injection strategy. As a result, the exhaust-gas temperature rises and the particulate mat-
ter is burned.

The differential pressure sensor uses a piezo-resistive sensor element to monitor the pres-
sure difference of the exhaust gas across the particle filter. This enables the load condi-
tion of the filter to be calculated.

Particle sensor
The particle sensor installed downstream of the diesel particle filter in the exhaust flow
enables the diagnosis of the particle filter. The function of the sensor element is based on
a resistance measurement: deposited soot particles form electrical paths between the cur-
rent-carrying electrode combs. The sensor element is regularly regenerated by way of
heating up. The proper functioning of the DPF can be determined on the basis of the mea-
sured current.
SCR system

Properties of the reducing agent
Design
The reducing agent tank is located underneath the luggage tray in the spare wheel well in
the luggage compartment and is screwed to the body from underneath. It has a capacity
of approximately 5.28 gallons (20 liter) and includes anti-slosh elements in order to reduce
noises created by the movement of the AdBlue® liquid. The supply module is located on
the upper side of the supply tank. The heating chamber module is integrated inside the
supply tank. In addition to the heating device, this heating chamber module also has a fil-
ter device and sensors which monitor the fill level and the temperature.

The consumption is approximately 1.06 quarts (1 liter) AdBlue® per 621.37 miles (1,000
km). Deviations are possible depending on the driving style. A corresponding message in
the on-board computer will indicate in good time when more AdBlue® must be added to
the Cayenne Diesel system.
SCR injector
The metering device for the reducing agent, AdBlue®, in the exhaust system comprises,
among other things, a control valve, a metering valve and a cooling device.
Design
In the BIN5 version, the urea solution is injected into the exhaust tract downstream of the
diesel particle filter. The SCR injector for the BIN5 variant is air-cooled as in the previous
model.
Function
The urea solution in the AdBlue® supply tank is metered by means of an injector into the
exhaust flow and creates a chemical reaction in the SCR catalytic converter. In this
process, the nitrogen oxides (NOX) are converted into nitrogen (N2) and water vapor (H2O).
Design
The SCR catalytic converter in the Cayenne Diesel in the BIN5 version is located as a sep-
arate component downstream of the diesel particle filter in the exhaust tract.
Function
In the BIN5 version, the urea solution (AdBlue®) is injected into the exhaust tract after the
diesel particle filter. The ammonia produced during hydrolysis can then react with the nitro-
gen oxides at corresponding temperatures in the SCR system. Through the chemical-cat-
86 alytic reaction, the nitrogen oxides (NOX) are converted into nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O).

NOx sensors
Objective
The purpose of the NOX sensor is to ensure demand-based control of the quantity of urea
injected into SCR systems for the reduction of NOX and also monitoring (OBD) of the SCR
components. The core of the sensor is a ceramic sensor element that works according to
the amperometric dual chamber principle and determines the NOX content in exhaust gas.
Function
After exiting the SCR catalytic converter, the nitrogen oxide-oxygen mixture passes
through two chambers in the NOX sensor. As the oxygen influences the nitrogen oxide
measurement, this must first be removed. This is done via an electrical voltage in the first
chamber. In the second chamber, the remaining nitrogen oxide (NOX) is split into nitrogen
(N2) and oxygen (O2). A current flows here that is proportional to the concentration of nitro-
gen oxide in the exhaust gas.

Cayenne Diesel (BIN5) 2_72_15
Objective
Diesel engines require more time to reach the required operating temperature than gaso-
line engines. The reason for this is the higher compression in the diesel engine. The
exhaust gases can cool more during expansion in the power stroke due to the larger cylin-
der volume. Because of the lower temperature level in the cylinder and the exhaust-gas
temperature in the manifold, the diesel engine gives off less heat to the cooling system.
Getting the engine to warm up as quickly as possible offers great additional fuel-saving
potential. In order to accelerate this process, the Cayenne Diesel is equipped with a com-
prehensive thermal management system. In addition, as of model year 2015, the Cayenne
models will feature a radiator-shutter control which will also contribute to optimized ther-
mal management. The modern thermal management system increases efficiency.

The cylinder block can be supplied with coolant on the outer sides of the cylinder banks
via one check valve on each side. The coolant shut-off valve is activated by the DME con-
trol unit as a function of the temperature signal from the coolant temperature sensor for
thermal management. The coolant can only flow through the cylinder block when the
coolant shut-off valve is open. The coolant flows from the cylinder block to the coolant
radiator when the coolant shut-off valve is open. When the thermostat is closed the
coolant flows from there into the expansion tank, otherwise it flows back to the coolant

The thermal management system attempts to keep the temperature in the cylinder head
cooling system at 149° F (65° C), but no more than 194° F (90° C), to achieve:
DME engine electronics

• sufficient valve cooling,
• optimum charging of the cylinders with oxygen,
• good cooling of the exhaust gases in the EGR cooler.
The thermostat is de-energized during the warm-up phase and remains closed with coolant
temperatures < 149° F (65° C) in the cylinder heads; no heat energy is dissipated to the
main coolant radiator. The coolant is circulated uncooled in the cylinder heads by the
mechanical coolant pump. The coolant permanently flows through the oil cooler, even if
the oil cooler bypass is active. The coolant shut-off valves upstream of the heat exchang-
ers are opened when necessary to warm up the ATF faster and to heat the passenger
cardiagn.com
compartment.
The vacuum-controlled shut-off valve for coolant positioned in the coolant outlet of the
cylinder block is closed; there is no circulation of coolant in the engine block. The coolant
warms up faster as a result. The setpoint temperature in the engine block is 221° F
(105° C). It is detected by the coolant temperature sensor for thermal management. The
higher coolant temperature in the engine block shortens the engine’s warm-up phase and
reduces friction in the engine. The result is less engine wear and reduced fuel consump-
tion.
The thermostat is energized above 149° F (65° C) and starts to open. If the heating ele-
ment in the thermostat is faulty, it will open even without being energized once the temper-
ature exceeds approximately 194° F (90° C). The open thermostat establishes the connec-
tion between the cylinder head cooling circuit and coolant radiator. The coolant tempera-
ture in the cylinder heads is maintained at 149° F (65° C) for as long as possible. If the
temperature can no longer be maintained, the DME control unit assumes 194° F (90° C)
as the new setpoint temperature for the cylinder heads. A thermostat located in the engine
oil cooling system opens from approximately 217.4° F (103° C) and releases the engine
oil flow so that the oil can be cooled by passing through the oil cooler.
The shut-off valve remains closed, the coolant in the engine block is standing as long as
the coolant temperature is < 221° F (105° C).

When the engine is fully warm, the temperature level of the cylinder block cooling system
is regulated to approximately 221° F (105° C) by opening and closing the vacuum-con-
trolled ball valve. The ball valve is electropneumatically actuated by the DME control unit.
The open shut-off valve for coolant establishes a link between the engine block and the
cylinder head cooling system. The warm coolant from the cylinder head and cylinder block
cooling circuits is mixed before being routed into the coolant radiator and cooled there.
The radiator fans are additionally activated if necessary. The cooled coolant is routed from
the coolant radiator via the open thermostat to the coolant pump. The coolant pump
pumps the cooled coolant back into the cylinder block and the cylinder heads; the circuit
is closed.

Radiator shutter
The radiator shutter is located centrally behind the central air intake and is controlled by
the engine management system. It opens and closes based on the driving situation and
cooling requirement, thus managing the air flow available for cooling.

ment. The shutter slats are always closed when the engine is off.

The new control strategy of the auto start/stop function makes it possible, under certain
conditions, to already switch off the engine when it is coasting to a stop. When the vehi-

are met, e.g. brake is pressed, the gear wheel set clutch engaged in the selected gear
is opened and the engine is switched off. No mechanical changes to the 8-speed

tronic S in combination with the Sport Chrono package, which is available as an option,
features a “Performance Start” function.
Function
The message “Performance start activated” appears in the instrument cluster. Then
release the brake within a few seconds. Given the high component loads during a “per-
formance start”, this should only be done when the engine and transmission are at the
operating temperature. Remaining stationary for a prolonged time with “Performance
Start” active can lead to high thermal loads on the transmission. To avoid damage,
therefore, the engine performance is automatically reduced when a limit temperature is
reached and the “Performance Start” is cancelled.

own specific transponder ID from the rotating wheel.
The TPM control unit determines the relevant transponder position automatically via a

cal, protocols regarding direction of rotation and axle position are detected, the relevant
transponders are assigned. In exceptional cases (e.g. when driving off sharply with wheel
circumferential speeds > 16 mph (25 km/h) and then braking hard), the teaching process
slows down to maximum eight minutes because the transmission intervals of the transpon-
ders are increased to 30 seconds at higher wheel speeds. Once the teaching process has
been completed successfully, the actual pressures are displayed in the instrument cluster.
Since the 3rd generation TPM transponders only transmit data when the wheels are mov-
ing plus a run-on time of five minutes, the tire pressures that were transmitted last are
always displayed during extended idle periods. The display is only updated again when the
ignition is switched off and on again or at wheel circumferential speeds > 16 mph (25
118 km/h).

HOLD function
Objective
Chassis
4
The HOLD function previously assisted the driver only when holding the vehicle and driving
off on an uphill gradient. It automatically prevents the vehicle from rolling back on a detect-
ed uphill gradient by maintaining the pressure in the brake system.
Function
On the model year 2015 Cayenne, the HOLD function can also be activated while the vehi-
cle is stationary, irrespective of a detected uphill gradient, by quickly flooring the already
pressed brake pedal. The advantage of this is that it prevents the vehicle from moving
without having to keep the brake pedal pressed, e.g. when traffic lights are red.

Multi-collision braking
A quarter of all accidents resulting in personal injury are so-called multi-collision accidents.
This means that one or more further collisions occur after the first collision.
Objective
The PSM system used on the model year 2015 Cayenne features multi-collision braking as
standard. Multi-collision braking can help the driver to reduce the risk of skidding and the
danger of further collisions during the accident by initiating braking automatically if neces-
sary.
Function
The vehicle is braked automatically if a crash is detected by the airbag control unit. Pres-
sure is built up in the vehicle’s hydraulic brake system provided the hydraulic brake system
and PSM are still working after the accident (no faults must be stored in PSM).

Chassis
4 • Front, side or rear-end collision
• Airbag control unit detects a corresponding activation threshold during the accident
• Vehicle speed > 6 mph (10 km/h)
Automatic braking occurs with maximum deceleration of 0.6 g (5.9 m/s2) up to a vehicle
speed of 6 mph (10 km/h). Control intervention by the PSM system occurs as required
during braking. If the accelerator pedal is detected as having been pressed during the
accident or if any brake pressure that is applied by pressing the brake pedal exceeds the
brake pressure built up by the system, multi-collision braking is switched off.
On vehicles with the optional Sport Chrono package, PSM intervention is delayed when the
SPORT PLUS button is pressed. As a result, braking in bends is even more agile.

4.9.2 Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)
Objective
Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) has been re-adapted and now offers a
wider spectrum between extreme comfort and sportiness than the PASM system used in
the previous model.
The names of some of the PASM chassis control programs have been changed:
PASM buttons 4_17_15
• comfort
• sport (previously “normal”)
• sport plus (previously “sport”)
When used in conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono package and the other associat-
ed Sport Plus button, the driver can configure PASM with even sportier settings. PASM
comes as standard on the Cayenne S E-Hybrid and Cayenne Turbo. It is optional for all oth-
er Cayenne models.

The most striking and most important feature of the new design is the aluminum front
hood. The joint (apex joint) was moved towards the outside, onto the fender, and clearly
differentiates the new model generation from the previous models. The effect is visible
at first glance: The Cayenne models have a sporty, aggressive look - ready to conquer
any road. 5_04_15

The new shape of the tail lights is picked up on the aluminum tailgate and is continued
using a horizontal contour edge. This emphasizes the vehicle’s width, just like the
changes to the front. The license plate recess, including the handle strip and light have
been integrated elegantly into the tailgate. This was possible by using a two-piece tail-
gate and a laser-welded seam. A trim is no longer used between the end of the tailgate
and the bumper. The new tailgate design will be the same for all markets, which means
that a separate design in the license plate area is not needed for North America.

General information
The body is not just a metal shell: it is the vehicle’s skeleton. This structure determines
how light, how safe and how sporty the model is. By reworking parts and functions we
have been able to improve and enhance these decisive characteristics significantly for

the next generation of the Cayenne. What’s more, the additional design changes to the
whole vehicle demonstrate that Porsche regards exterior design as a high priority. The
completely reworked front and rear end shapes and the many changes to points of detail
play equally important roles in this. The innovative design of all the Cayenne models is
immediately apparent: from every angle, the consistent application of the Porsche quin-
tessential design language triggers the kind of emotions that only a Sports Car can.
6.1 Design
Front view
cardiagn.com
Objective
The main focus during development was on further emphasizing the Cayenne’s close-
ness to the road, thereby reinforcing its Sports Car character. Since the front of the vehi-
cle essentially determines its overall appearance, practically every line and contour of
the front apron, fenders and hood were changed. When looking at the vehicle, all the
main design contours no longer run to the center, but towards the outside. This makes
the Cayenne look much wider and more muscular.

6.2 Aerodynamics
Objective
In terms of aerodynamics, the new Cayenne models were developed on the principle that
“form follows function”. Minor optimizations to the geometry at both the front and rear of
the vehicles have improved their aerodynamic efficiency.

Highlights include the air blades and air duct in the outer air intakes as well as the opti-
mizations at the rear, which include a redesigned, enlarged roof spoiler that helps to
reduce disturbance from air turbulence.

els. To meet the increased cooling air requirement and help make the hood look wider,
the air intakes are not only larger than on previous models but have also been moved
further towards the outside.

The elevated center console, which characterizes the interior design of all Porsche mod-
el ranges, also defines the distinctive character of the Cayenne models. The cockpit
atmosphere that this creates and the typical Porsche low seat position provide a genuine
Sports Car feel and represent a unique selling point compared with competitor vehicles.
The vehicles have the customary high level of quality, functionality and personalization.
The level of comfort has been improved thanks to enhanced standard equipment and
new options.

Objective
The design of the current multi-function sports steering wheel with shift paddles used in
the Cayenne models as of model year 2015 was adopted from the 918 Spyder. It is the
highlight of the interior and raises the bar in terms of passenger compartment quality
and functionality compared with previous models with its multi-function operation, which
is now standard.

Cayenne models in the usual manner. These settings in each air-conditioning zone can
be selected manually based on individual needs or can also be controlled quite simply
using the automatic controls.
New features include, in particular, the new windshield heating system and optional seat
ventilation for the rear area, in combination with seat heating.

The design and relevant functions, which were familiar from the system used in the previ-
ous model, have been adopted and combined with the operating concept used in the
Panamera (e.g. integration of the “extended ventilation panel” in the dashboard). Cus-
tomers can recognize this new direction for the Cayenne models – which is also imple-
mented across the model ranges – by the control concept used for the operating and
air-conditioning units (BKE).

Beginning with MY 2011, the Cayenne air conditioning circuit has been equipped with an
internal heat exchanger (IHE). Information about the IHE was left out of the 2011
Cayenne SIT. The familiar refrigerant R134a is currently used in the Cayenne for all mod-
Heating and air conditioning

els. The function and type of most of the components in the refrigerant circuit are there-
fore familiar. As can be seen in the following illustration from PET, the Cayenne also fea-
tures an internal heat exchanger (IHE) integrated in the lines of the refrigerant circuit.
See item 1.
cardiagn.com
The lines containing the IHE are screwed to the expansion valve and positioned in the
plenum panel. Comparable with the expansion valve, the IHE is a component in which
high pressure and low pressure is simultaneously present.
139
2015 Cayenne Section 8_TOC.qxd 9/30/14 9:59 AM Page 140
Cayenne
Operating principle
cardiagn.com
The internal heat exchanger (IHE) transfers heat from the refrigerant on the high-pressure
side to the “intake gas” (LP). The refrigerant on the pressure side (HP) is cooled to below
the ambient temperature and superheated on the intake side (LP) of the compressor.
The Cayenne uses an IHE made of aluminum integrated into the lines of the refrigerant
circuit. In the double-pipe heat exchanger version, there is an outer pipe arranged
around the inner pipe. The warmer refrigerant from the high-pressure side passes
through the inner pipe in the opposite direction to the colder refrigerant from the low-
pressure side flowing through the annular gap. Unlike the Macan, this is not available
separately from the other AC lines.

Positive effects:
• The IHE improves the efficiency and performance of the R134 system, particularly at
high ambient temperatures.
• The evaporator is protected against “wet operation”. The position of the IHE means
Heating and air conditioning

that drops of liquid are re-evaporated in the IHE low-pressure line before the drops can
reach the compressor.
• The IHE evaporates all the R134a from the oil before the refrigerant reaches the com-
pressor (improvement of lubricity).
Negative effects:
• The IHE increases the intake temperature and therefore also the compression tempera-
ture at the compressor outlet.
• The IHE is an additional component (increased weight, increased assembly and space
requirement, additional costs).

in order to check this.
If the available energy does not exclude the possibility of using seat heating or seat ven-
tilation, the gateway sends corresponding information (bit) on the CANMMI. As soon as
this information is detected by the individual operating and air-conditioning units, the
desired function or setting is activated directly by the air-conditioning system control unit
(operating and air-conditioning unit). 141

Cayenne
In the case of heating, the heating elements in the seat cushion and seat backrest are
8
activated directly by the relevant operating and air-conditioning unit (front or rear).
Use of seat ventilation can be combined with temperature control for seat heating. This
ensures the continuous removal of moisture while maintaining a pleasant seat surface
temperature.
Design
The ventilation system, which can be ordered as an option together with seat
heating, comprises the following main components:
• Separate three-stage operating button in the operating and air-conditioning unit (cli-
mate control panel),
• Fan modules for the seat surface and backrest,
• Air ducts in the seat cushion and backrest (see arrows for air routing),
cardiagn.com
• Air-permeable padded mats,
• Wiring harness.
8_02_15
1 Fan module in seat surface
2 Fan module in backrest
Function
When seat ventilation is activated, the seat is ventilated evenly by a fan integrated in
both the seat and backrest in each case which is controlled by the climate control panel.
The PWM signal used for this purpose has a frequency of 100 Hz. The three possible
settings are 100%, 78% and 68%. The efficient and acoustically discreet fans draw off
perspiration between the passenger and the surface of the seat through the perforated
center strip in the seat cushion and backrest. The intake air flows through an air-perme-
able padded mat, is transported off via special air ducts arranged in the seat and is
directed into the interior of the vehicle. In this way, the seat surfaces heated by the sun
cool down quickly and prevent perspiration.

Objective
The optional windshield heating system with “no heating wire” for the model year 2015
Cayenne provides greater comfort during the cold season. The fine heating wires, which
were used previously for heating and were sometimes perceived as disturbing, have
Heating and air conditioning
8
been replaced by film technology. The omission of the heating wires has also eliminated
existing restrictions on the availability of certain functions.
cardiagn.com
The film, which is integrated in the windshield, also helps to reduce noise in the passen- 4 Inner glass
ger compartment and minimizes the heating effect of sunlight in the passenger compart-
ment.
Design
Function
If there is a voltage of approximately 14 volts on the silver-coated film, this acts as high
resistance and generates the heat required to defrost the windshield if necessary. A
slightly iced-up windshield can therefore be defrosted and prevented from freezing again.
The heated windshield is operated by activating rear window heating.

and convenient manoeuvring, even in areas with limited visibility. The Surround View sys-
tem supplements the reversing camera with three additional high-resolution cameras in
the front apron and in the exterior mirror housings. The system uses the information
from all four cameras to calculate a virtual bird’s-eye view of the vehicle and shows it on
the PCM display. This helps the driver when parking and manoeuvring, as it can detect
low-level obstacles in front of and alongside the vehicle. It is also possible to switch

in front of the vehicle. The static cornering light is activated automatically when the dri-
ver turns the steering wheel when travelling at a speed of between 0 and 81 mph (0 and
130 km/h) (highway light). Together with the swivelled dipped beam, this improves the

As a optional feature - and standard for the Cayenne S E-Hybrid – the Porsche Car Con-
nect app provides fast and easy access to useful vehicle information and can be used to
control various functions. The Porsche Car Connect app offers services in three different
categories: Remote services, Porsche Vehicle Tracking services and E-Mobility services.
Remote services can be used to display vehicle information, e.g. mileage, vehicle posi-
tion, etc. Another highlight is the fact that various vehicle functions, e.g. folding in exteri-
or mirrors or locking the vehicle, can be controlled using these services.

The camera records a digital image, in which sharp jumps in grey-scale values are identi-
fied. In the example shown, the white center strips on dark asphalt are evaluated in a
selection of image strips. This optimizes processing power so that data volumes can be
managed at higher speeds.

The detected jumps in grey-scale values are indicated by dots and are joined up to
form a virtual line. The road markings at the left and right are detected and the available
driving area is calculated. 161
