Porsches are beloved for their power, impressive handling, and luxurious style. However, an often overlooked feature of these luxurious vehicles is safety. Today, we’re discussing six innovative safety features you can expect to find in today’s Porsche vehicles at your Fairfield, CT Porsche dealer.
Security System
One of the most innovative features that Porsches have to keep them safe is the security system. This highly intelligent system can predict when someone unwanted is trying to enter the vehicle. If it detects an unwanted intrusion, it will lock the ignition and not turn over the motor unless the original manufacturer key is inserted into the ignition.
Anti-Lock Brakes
Anti-lock brakes are another incredible safety feature you can expect to see in a Porsche. This safety feature detects automatically when you are braking so hard that the tire stops rotating. In response, your brake pressure will be modulated automatically so your tires can rotate once again and your vehicle can turn if necessary.
Stability Control
Stability control, like the anti-lock brakes, is a very important safety feature designed to mitigate the risk of a collision. When your Porsche detects that its handling limits have been exceeded, it will reduce the chance that you lose control by reducing engine power. Also, it can apply your brakes if necessary.
Traction Management
The traction management safety feature also reduces the likelihood that you are involved in a collision. For example, Porsche’s traction management system with active 4WD includes anti-slip regulation to increase handling capabilities regardless of road conditions, a map-controlled, electronically variable multi-plate clutch, and ABD.
Adaptive Cruise Control
If you go on road trips regularly or have a commute that includes a long drive down the interstate, you’ll love the Adaptive Cruise Control in your Porsche. With this innovative safety feature, you don’t have to brake every time the vehicle in front of you slows down, accelerate when it is safe to do so, and reset your cruise control.
Instead, the adaptive cruise control system considers the vehicle’s speed and distance from the vehicle in front of it. This system automatically reduces speed to maintain a safe distance between your Porsche and the vehicle in front of it. As soon as it is safe to do so, the system will accelerate until it reaches your desired cruising speed again.
Collision and Brake Assist
The collision and brake assist feature will give you both an audible and visual alert when there is an elevated risk of colliding with a vehicle, cyclist, or pedestrian. If you are heading towards an object in front of you too quickly, your Porsche will apply your brakes automatically.
Porsches come standard with a number of features that make your vehicle ownership and driving experience safer. Among them is a security system to protect against theft, anti-lock brakes, and stability control. To learn more, visit us today at Porsche Fairfield on Commerce Dr.
