Available on the Panamera, PASM enhances driving dynamics without compromising luxury, making every journey smooth and controlled.
How PASM Works in the Panamera
PASM uses electronic sensors to monitor road conditions, speed, and driving style. It then adjusts the shock absorbers in real time to provide the ideal balance between comfort and sportiness. Whether cruising on the highway or navigating winding roads, PASM ensures optimal stability and responsiveness.

Operating PASM in the Panamera is straightforward. Drivers can select different modes to tailor the suspension settings according to their preferences or driving conditions:
- Normal Mode: Prioritizes comfort for everyday driving.
- Sport Mode: Firms up the suspension for a more dynamic and engaging experience.

Switch between modes using the dedicated PASM button on the center console or via the infotainment system. The system instantly adapts, giving you an immediate feel of the new suspension setting.
