The Porsche Cayenne: Safe on the Road

September 1st, 2016 by

With such busy lifestyles, everyone seems to always be on the go. You may even spend most of your time in your vehicle going to and from work or elsewhere. The Porsche Cayenne could make your daily commute more comfortable and easier than ever. With a sophisticated and sharp look, Porsche has kept its iconic muscular, sporty design in the build of the Cayenne. The Cayenne has more than looks, though. It also includes some of the best safety features that Porsche has to offer.

The Porsche Stability Management feature has the ability to stabilize the vehicle in any hazardous road conditions.

The Electronic Control System uses sensors to continuously monitor the direction, speed, velocity, and lateral acceleration of the car.

The Porsche Dynamic Light System adjusts the range of the dipped beam based on the driving speed.

The Dynamic Cornering Light swivels the main headlights toward the inside of a bend based on the current steering angle and speed.

The Static Cornering Lights activate the auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate more of the road in tight bends and turns.

The Automatic Hold function allows drivers to take off on a sloped surface without ever rolling backwards.

Some of the car’s safety features, like its advanced braking system, require special maintenance and care. Victor Salgado, Service Manager at Baker Motor Company, describes, “High performance braking system components are developed to provide maximum stopping power and efficiency. The materials used are very specific and are engineered to meet very stringent criteria. In the case of Porsche brakes, for example, the pad and rotor materials are designed to wear together to provide the desired performance and trouble-free operation. Therefore, they must always be replaced together (as well as the wear sensors and specially coated caliper bolts).  Failure to do so results in premature brake wear, decreased braking quality, and excessive noise.”

All features of the Porsche Cayenne work together to keep you and your passengers safe on the road. To test drive a Cayenne, stop by Baker Motor Company in West Ashley.
