Panamera Technical Introduction Booklet

[wwilliams88]

To satiisfy my curiosity, I recently purchased the Panamera Technical Introduction book from Suncoast. Here are some feature highlights. Oil level measurement is electronic. A measurement can be made with just the ignition on, with the engine running and stationary, or while driving. Measurement is made using an ultrasonic level sensor which measures the thickness of the oil level in the pan by bouncing sound waves off of the oil/air interface at the top of the reservoir and computing the time-of-flight. Dry Sump lubrication system with the oil reservoir in the engine for space savings. Saddle shaped fuel tank located under the rear seats. 21 gal capacity for the S and 26 gal capacity for the 4S and Turbo. 3 magnetically coupled fuel sensors within the tank. Engine air filter is rated for 80,000 miles or 4 years. Replacement requires removal of the front bumper cover to access the filter housing. Standard mechanical or optional electrical adjustment of the steering wheel position. Adaptive Air suspension with PASM normal height is 144 mm from ground to bottom of vehicle. In sport mode it lowers to 119 mm. A high mode is available at 164 mm to clear high speed bumps and steep ramps. Car reverts back to normal level once the speed exceeds 20 mph. Pressure reservoir for the air suspension is located next to the rear bumper cover. PDCC is controlled in conjunction with PASM via the one button PASM interface. As discussed before, no spare. Same bottle of goop and air compressor found in the 997 Electronic parking brake will provide controlled deceleration of 0.8g via the PSM when depressed. The rear coolbox can be retrofitted. Button placement for the front center console seems to be deliberately assymetric, with 9 on the drivers side and 8 on the passengers side when fully loaded Battery is located in the trunk area and has a claimed service life of at least 15 years. Fuses are located under the dashboard side panels on both the driver and passenger side. Another set is located in the trunk next to the battery. Generator is liquid cooled and capable of producing 190A nominal, 350A as needed. Rear spoiler deploys ar 56 mph, goes to next position at 127 mph. For non turbo models, the spoiler moves to an intermediate position at 99 mph Adaptive cruise control is radar based operating at 76.5 GHz. Don't drive behind a logging truck with it activated since the cone angle of the transmitter might not detect the overhanging cargo. Speed limit display is available on roads that have the information recorded in the navigation module. Rear turn signals will be amber in Europe and red in the US. Tons of information on the engines and transmission, and lots of info on the subsystems I covered and those I didn't discuss. For the money a nice overview of the car.
