Porsche Active Safe: Confidence with Speed
At Porsche of Ocala, we know you didn’t choose a Porsche to blend in. These are performance machines built to move – and Porsche Active Safe is here to help you do just that, with more awareness, quicker reaction time, and added peace of mind. Whether you're carving through twisty Florida backroads or merging onto I-75, this system works in the background to help you stay ahead of trouble.
What Is Porsche Active Safe?
Porsche Active Safe (PAS) is an advanced driver-assistance feature designed to support you at higher speeds. Using a forward-facing radar sensor, PAS monitors the traffic ahead. If it detects that you're rapidly closing in on a slower vehicle or one that has suddenly braked, the system prepares your Porsche to respond.
It starts by priming the braking system. If you don't react, PAS will alert you visually and audibly – and if needed, it can apply the brakes automatically to reduce your speed or avoid a potential collision altogether.
When Does Porsche Active Safe Begin?
Porsche Active Safe is designed to work effectively at speed, on the highway, or on most major roads where an error at high speed has little room for mitigation. Porsche Active Safe is always working, but it certainly earns its keep for those moments of distraction when the car in front of you brakes unexpectedly or traffic disturbances happen without warning.
It may not take control away from you, but it offers you an extended reaction time, applies assistance to your decisions, and returns your attention to driving.
Key Features of Porsche Active Safe
- Radar-Based Monitoring: The radar sensor tracks vehicles ahead in real time, even in poor visibility or heavy rain.
- Advance Warning System: If the system senses a rapid closing speed, it alerts you with a tone and dashboard warning.
- Brake Readiness: If you're approaching too quickly, PAS preconditions the braking system for immediate response.
- Automatic Braking: If you don’t react in time, the system applies the brakes to reduce the impact or avoid it entirely.
- Adaptive Cruise Control Pairing: When combined with Adaptive Cruise Control, PAS can help maintain a safe following distance without constant manual adjustments.
