3 Answers
The method to start a Porsche Cayenne is: 1. Insert the key; 2. Press the brake pedal; 3. Turn the start knob clockwise. The Porsche Cayenne is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under the Porsche brand, with a wheelbase of 2895mm, and dimensions of 4918mm in length, 1983mm in width, and 1696mm in height. The Porsche Cayenne uses three types of engines: a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged engine, and a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine. The 3.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 250kW, a maximum torque of 450Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5300 to 6400 rpm and the maximum torque at 1340 to 5300 rpm. The 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 324kW and a maximum torque of 550Nm, with the maximum power at 5700 to 6600 rpm and the maximum torque at 1800 to 5500 rpm. The 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine boasts a maximum power of 404kW and a maximum torque of 770Nm, achieving maximum power at 5750 to 6000 rpm and maximum torque at 1960 to 4500 rpm.
When I first drove the Cayenne, it took me a while to figure it out. Keyless start cars are different from regular ones. With the key on you, sit in the driver's seat, but don't rush to press the button. First, step on the brake pedal, then press the silver start button on the left side of the center console. At this point, the dashboard will light up, and the engine will roar to life. The electronic gear shifter on the right side of the steering wheel requires you to press the side unlock button to shift gears. Remember to check if the auto-hold is engaged before shifting to D, or else rolling backward would be awkward. In winter, it's best to wait for the tachometer to stabilize at 800 rpm before driving off—it's better for the engine. The steering wheel heater button is right next to the start button; don't forget to turn it on when driving in cold weather.
Attention all Cayenne owners, don't use brute force when starting the car. Just keep the key in your pocket, sit in the driver's seat and fasten your seatbelt first, then press the brake pedal all the way down with your right foot, and use your index finger to press the start button for about two seconds. Release when you hear the engine sound, at which point the electronic gear lever will vibrate slightly. Before shifting gears, remember to glance at the dashboard to ensure the 'Ready' message appears. The hybrid version starts even quieter, possibly with only a slight electric hum, so don't mistake it for not starting. It's recommended to turn off the air conditioning compressor before shutting down to extend battery life. By the way, if the start button doesn't work, it's probably due to low key battery, try replacing the coin cell battery.
