PSM - Porsche Stability Management
While it can’t overcome the laws of physics, the revolutionary Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system does lend an added degree of balance and control to the Cayman’s mid-engine driving dynamics, inspiring surefooted confidence in corners and extreme situations.
A standard feature on the Cayman and Cayman S, PSM continuously monitors steering input, road speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration to calculate the actual direction of travel. If the car begins to steer off line, PSM instantly intervenes with precision brake inputs on individual wheels to help bring the car back onto the driver’s intended path.
If braking alone isn’t enough to correct the vehicle’s cornering line, PSM then calls on the Cayman’s engine management system, adjusting engine output as needed to help stabilize handling. PSM can also compensate in an instant for mid-corner changes in load resulting from deceleration or braking. When Sport mode is selected with the optional Sport Chrono Package, PSM’s threshold for intervention is raised, allowing for greater driver involvement. If you prefer driving without automatic PSM assistance, the system can be set to standby at any time. In this case, it will only intervene under heavy braking, where both front wheels exceed the ABS threshold.
For all of its technical ability, PSM goes virtually unnoticed in everyday driving situations, preserving the Cayman’s natural agility.
Congrats, the car looks fab in Guards Red and I took along time to decide between it and the SY. Yes, also found car the car needs to be driven with revs above 5000. She only really gets going at 5500. Would have loved the 6-speed! Enjoy
kwaaiman,
Where is that pictures from in your signature line? It almost looks like a scale model car of the base Cayman, if so, who has that for sale? I was going to paint a Cayman S model speed yellow but if they make a base one I'll just get it and swap wheels and stickers and I'm done!
hi john h.
was told by dealer best way to run motor in was drive it as normal.
no running in required.
helps bed everything in. (so they said).
they were told this by a porsche engineer.
Come to think of it, I don't recall getting any advice from the dealer, and the handbook isn't much help either. I recall reading on this forum somehwere that you should run it in progressively over 3,000 km, so I guess you takes your pick of whatever advice you get.
Mine has loosened off noticeably in 1600 miles, and I'm sure there is a lot more to come. My VW didn't feel really right until it had done over 20,000 miles (8v 2.0 GTi engine). My Harley was still running in at 8 years old and 25k miles when I sold it, but then they last forever.
Congratulations. Nice car. Very similar to mine, except I have leather sports seats. I think the sports seats are more firm and offer more support. My Cayman has 550 miles on it. I am waiting till 2000 miles before I really drive it. Enjoy!
