Seeing as there isn't alot of information available through Bentley, Service Manuals or online for Cayennes. Here's Cayenne specific information I did for bleeding the brakes.

Tools: Lug nut socket, wheel lock socket, 10mm wrench, us quarter

Fluid: I used ATE Gold

The brake fluid resevoir is located on the drivers side rear of the engine compartment, it is a louvered plastic cover with two quarter turn twist lock fittings. Use your us quarter to quarter turn and pop up the retainer. Gently remove panel and you may need to pry engine compartment weatherstrip back a little. Unclip fluid level sensor from brake fluid cap.

Raise car on four jackstands, remove wheels, mark the wheel/lugbolt orientation/indexing with a piece of chalk if you aren't rotating the tires. The Cayenne S has two 10mm bleed bolts for each wheel. Carefully using a thin screwdriver remove the rubber caps. The rest of the procedure is the same as bleeding any European car with many options for pressure, manual or vacuum bleeding which I won't go into.

Good luck!
