Seats: Description and Operation
70 Front Seats
A new generation of seating was developed for the Cayenne according to the following principles:
- Adaptation of the well-known seating comfort of the sports car to the specific environment of the Cayenne, taking into consideration the latest ergonomic findings
- Highly adjustable seats so that people of all sizes can sit comfortably
- Compliance will all specific standards above and beyond those minimally require by law
- Achievement of the highest quality goals
- Extensive weight savings
Like the Carrera and Boxster, various additional seating options are available to provide optimal comfort. A removable drawer (standard) is located below the front passenger seat to provide additional storage.
Electric 12-position seating
The font seats of the Cayenne S are equipped with electric 12-position adjustable seats. The 12-way seats offer the following functions:
- Electric forward and backward adjustment
- Electric height adjustment
- Electric seatback adjustment
- Electric seat tilt adjustment
- Electric 4-way adjustable lumbar support
- Mechanical head support height adjustment
Convenience seating system
As standard equipment, the Cayenne Turbo has a convenience seating system with extended memory, which is also optionally available for the Cayenne S.
The convenience seating system is based upon the standard electric 12-way seat and additionally includes electric seat belt height and steering column adjustments. Three personalized settings can be stored in the driver's side memory function and include settings for the following features:
- Seat adjustment
- Rear-view mirror
- Steering column
- Side mirrors
- Seat belt height
- Position of the front passenger seat
Sport Seats
Optional sport seats are available with driver and front passenger memory. Like the standard comfort seats, they are 12-way seats, but offer improved side support. The sport seat also has raised side bolsters, a highly contoured seatback and different upholstery in the mid-seat area.
All Cayenne seats have:
- Front and rear multi-stage heated seats (Cayenne Turbo) and heated steering wheel.
- Leather seats.
- The driver's seat can be folded over to allow access to the battery.
- Side airbags are integrated into all seats so that they will be correctly positioned no matter how the seat is adjusted.
- The adjustable head supports on the front seats and the head supports on the right and left rear seat can accommodate people of various sizes.
- The seatbelt buckle is bolted into the seat so that the belt can easily adjust to any body size.
- Controls were laid out to provide optimal ergonomics, comfort and convenience.
- The back side of the front seats are covered with leatherette and have integrated pockets.
Rear Seating
The rear bench has two comfortable outer seats as well as an adequate center seat. The rear seatbacks can be folded down completely or separately in a 60% /40% asymmetrical arrangement. The center seat has an integrated three-point seatbelt and third head restraint.
Folding down the rear seat bench completely provides maximum cargo space with a flat floor. The head supports must be removed from the backrest, and the seat cushions must be folded upright. The head supports are then placed into the receptacles provided in the seat cushions and the backrest is folded forward. The backrest uses a rotary safety latch to provide solid and secure positioning. This ensures proper locking of the seatback and displays a visual verification when the catch is engaged.
In the standard version, the rear bench has a center armrest with a storage compartment as well as a ski sack.
The USA / Canada Cayenne has two UCRA child safety seat attachments (UCRA = Universal Child Restraint Anchorage) are in the two outer seats and top-tether receptacles are integrated into all three places on the seat bench.
In conjunction with UCRA receptacles and top4ether connectors above, two LATCH systems (Lower Anchorage with Tether for Child) are available on the rear bench.
7019 Instrument Panel
Combining traditional Porsche form with off-road specific design led to a distinctive instrument panel reminiscent of the sports cars. The following typical Porsche elements can be found in the Cayenne's interior:
- Ignition on the left
- Circular instruments with a central multi-function display Three-spoke steering wheel with Porsche emblem
NOTE: Currently it is not recommended to install a child safety seat in the front passenger seat.
The lower section of the instrument panel consists of the support frame to which areattachedd assemblies such as air vents, steering column lever, fans, etc.
The support frame is bolted onto the side to the vehicle body.
