Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)

The active chassis control system PDCC is optionally available for the Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo in combination with the air suspension with PASM. This is an active system for stabilizing the vehicle body. For the driver, this means enhanced performance and comfort and also maximum agility and vehicle balance thanks to dynamic roll moment distribution.

This is achieved with the aid of hydraulic swivel motors on the active anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles. The system responds to the current steering angle and lateral acceleration by producing a stabilizing force that counteracts the lateral inclination of the body. The result is an extremely comfortable yet highly sporty driving experience, offering maximum agility at every speed with precise steering and stable load transfer characteristics. The rocker switch in the center console allows the driver to also switch PDCC to a traction-orientated mode by activation of Off-road mode 1. The two halves of the active anti-roll bar can then twist even more with respect to each other. This in turn permits greater axle articulation. The wheels remain in contact with the ground longer as a result and can transfer more power. This ensures even better traction on uneven ground.
