How can I tell if the car has PASM?

Im trying to buy a 07 911 Turbo, I see in some pictures a suspension button next to the sport.. Is this PASM?... Anyway I can tell if a car has it, is it listed in the options or is there a button on the dash?

Thanks guys

All 997TT's have PASM standard. There's a button inside for suspension...

I believe it is standard on the Turbo. not 100% sure though. Yes the suspension button will allow you to switch PASM settings independent of sport mode. For example, on normal roads I'll drive with sport mode on and PASM set to normal.

Hope this helps

PSM is standard, PASM is not.

If the car has PASM, it will have 4 buttons, 3 without.

As Alex said...all 997TTs have Bilstein OEM'ed electronically controlled dampers. They all have PASM. They all have PSM. They all have PTM. Any other "P" abbreviations that I'm missing?

Thanks for the clarification. I thought the OP was refering to PASM as outlined in the owner's manual whereby it allows the driver to select between normal and sport modes.

I think PASM came with the Sports Chrono Package. So, if you have this option, you should have 4 buttons below AC/Heater controls:
[sport][pasm] ......... [rear spoiler][psm off].
