Windows: Description and Operation



Power Windows







As standard equipment, the Cayenne has electric power windows in all four doors. The power windows can operate once the ignition is switched on, and remain operable for 10 minutes after the ignition has been switched off. If any door is opened during this period, power window operation is deactivated.

All four windows may be operated from the drivers position. The switch on each other door will only operate the corresponding window.

Two-stage Switch (driver's side)

The driver's side switches for the front windows have two rocker positions: push forward, "open,and "push back," close." If the switch is only pressed to the first stage, the window will be opened or closed, depending on how the switch is pressed. Releasing the switch stops the action. If a switch is pressed or pulled to the second stage (tap function), the window automatically travels to its upper or lower stop position. operating the switch again stops the window in the desired position.

Push-button Operation (all four doors)

As long as the related button is pressed, the window will open or close. Releasing the switch stops the action.

Pinch Protection

The electric power windows, like those on the 911 /Boxstor sports cars, are equipped with pinch protection. As needed, the widow close cycle is interrupted, and a predefined open cycle starts. Activation of the pinch protection can be identified by the increase in voltage. If the corresponding switch is operated again within 10 seconds, the window will close with normal force.

The One-Touch Function is blocked for 10 seconds.

Convenience Function

The "Porsche Entry & Drive" feature does not offer convenience operation using the remote control.

If the key is continuously held in the lock/unlock position while the vehicle 5 being locked or opened, all four door windows will be closed/opened automatically. The windows will open or close as long as the key is held in position or unit the windows have reached their stop point.

Storing the Window Stop Point

If the battery is disconnected and then reconnected, the stop points are lost. The Onetouch function is deactivated.

Reactivating the function:
1. Open the window completely by pulling the switch.
2. Pull the switch again toward "open" and the lower stop position is stored.
3. Then close the window completely by pushing the switch.
4. Push the switch again toward "close" and the upper stop position is stored.
