Cruise Control: Description and Operation

Cruise Control (Standard for USA vehicle, ID-Number RoW)

Cruise control in the Cayenne is operated using the lower left steering column lever. When this function is active, a ready light appears in the instrument cluster. In order to regulate speed, the vehicle speed must be set between 25 mph (40 km/h) and 130 mph (210 km/h).

When this function is active, vehicle speed can be set using the steering column lever.
- Each time the switch is pressed upwards + 2 km/h (1 mph)
- Each time the switch is pressed downwards -2 km/h (-1 mph)

The speed can be continuously increased or decreased by pushing the steering column lever up or down.

Cruise control operation is automatically interrupted if the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by more than 25 km/h (15 mph) for longer than 20 seconds, or if the vehicle speed falls short of the set speed by 10 km/b (6 mph) for longer than 5 seconds.

For safety reasons the cruise control deactivates if the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) controls driving dynamics for longer than 0.2 seconds.

The system is temporarily switched off if the driver presses the brake pedal. Manual acceleration can exceed the set speed without canceling active operation. If the driver removes his foot from the gas pedal, the cruise control immediately resumes the set speed.

The cruise control function is not available in Low Range mode. When Low Range mode is switched off, the cruise control returns to ready status.
