The 9YA/9YB is the third-generation Porsche Cayenne, introduced for model year 2018 and produced through today’s current line-up (9YA = standard wheelbase, 9YB = long-wheelbase Cayenne Coupe body). It replaced the 958 with a new MLB Evo platform shared with the Audi Q7 and Bentley Bentayga, and brought a fully digital instrument cluster plus the latest-generation PCM infotainment system. The factory owner’s manual below covers every trim from the base Cayenne through Turbo GT.

This is Porsche’s own printed owner’s manual for the 9YA/9YB generation — the same document that ships in the glovebox, covering controls, warning lights, maintenance intervals, and infotainment operation for model year 2017 and later Cayennes.
What’s Inside the 9YA/9YB Manual
- Maintenance schedule — oil, filters, and service-interval specifics for the third-generation Cayenne’s engine range (V6, V6 hybrid, V8 twin-turbo).
- PCM & digital cluster — navigating the 12.3″ touchscreen PCM and the fully digital instrument display, both new for this generation versus the 958’s analogue-plus-screen layout.
- Driving modes & air suspension — how Normal/Sport/Sport+/Offroad modes change ride height and PASM damping.
- Warning lights & what they mean — the full dashboard symbol reference, including the newer driver-assist icons not present on earlier Cayennes.
- Towing & cargo specifications — payload and trailer limits by trim.
9YA vs 9YB: What’s the Difference?
9YA is the standard-wheelbase Cayenne SUV body. 9YB is the Cayenne Coupe — the same platform and interior with a lower, faster-sloping roofline. Both chassis codes share this same owner’s manual, since the mechanical, electrical, and infotainment systems are identical between the two body styles.
