3D Surround View

Four cameras in the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) generate a 3D perspective view of the vehicle's surroundings. The view can be rotated and customised to improve all-round visibility.

Active Parking Assistance

The system recognises suitable parking spaces, measures them and can take over steering and driving forwards and backwards after your confirmation. Longitudinal and perpendicular parking spaces are supported. You monitor the process and can intervene at any time.

Manoeuvring Assist

This helps when manoeuvring in confined spaces. If the system detects an obstacle, it intervenes within the system limits to prevent collisions.

Operation

Surround View is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.

Alternatively, the system can be activated manually via Parking > Show Surroundings.

The desired camera perspective (e.g. front, rear or side view) is selected directly in the central display using the view icons.

Configuration

Settings are made in the PCM via the Parking tile. Among other things, the sound output of the Parking Assistant can be configured here.

All the functions described are subject to system limits and require constant monitoring by the driver In order to maintain the full range of functions of Porsche Surround View incl. Active Parking Support permanently, a chargeable extension or separate map updates are required after the inclusive period of the Connect package has expired (further information on the ninclusive period of the Connect package for your vehicle can be found here: Porsche Connect Store
