Display and measurement of the engine oil level
Risk of engine damage due to inadequate lubrication.fRegularly check the oil level each time before refueling.fDo not allow the oil level to fall below the minimum mark.
Prerequisites for the oil-level gauge:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Switch off engine, which is at operating temperature.3. Wait for approx. 1 minute. 4. Select the “Oil measurement” function on the multi-function display.
Selecting the Oil measurement function on the multi-function display
fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Example displays for oil level A - Maximum oil level reached B - Minimum oil level reached C - Oil level below minimum D - Oil level above maximum
Measured oil level
The oil level reading is shown on the segment display in the Oil measurement menu.
If the segments are filled in green up to the top line (illustration A), the oil level has reached the maximum mark.fUnder no circumstances add engine oil.
If the bottom segment is shown in yellow (illustration B), the oil level has reached the minimum mark.
The message “ Oil level minimum reached Refill oil ” appears on the multi-function display.fAdd engine oil immediately.
If the bottom segment is red (illustration C), the oil level has dropped below the minimum mark.
The message “ Oil level below min. Refill oil at once Do not drive on ” appears on the multi- function display.fAdd engine oil immediately.
Top-up quantity
The difference between the minimum and maximum marks on the segment display is approx. 1.8 quarts (1.7 liters).fNever add more engine oil than required to reach the maximum mark.
If the segments are shown in yellow up to the top edge (illustration D), this indicates that the maximum engine filling capacity has been exceeded. Exceeding the maximum capacity may result in blue smoke formation and cause long-term damage to the catalytic converters depending on the overfill quantity and various external influences.
If too much engine oil was added, the message “ Oil level above maximum Consult a workshop Driving permitted ” appears on the multi-function display.fHave the oil quantity corrected at the next opportunity.Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.

Measuring the oil level after topping up engine oil or opening the engine compartment lid
The oil level can be checked after waiting for approx. 1 minute with the vehicle parked on a level surface and the engine at operating temperature.
If the engine compartment lid is opened when the engine is cold (e.g. in order to top up engine oil), the oil level cannot be displayed for a certain time.The message “ No information about oil level available at present ” appears on the multi- function display.fEngine oil should therefore only be topped up with the engine at operating temperature. This ensures short waiting times for the soonest possible oil level display.
Failure
If the oil-level indicator fails, the message “ Oil level measurement fault Consult a workshop Driving permitted ” appears on the multi-function display.

Tire Pressure Menu (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System, TPMS)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions:1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and2. this device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
For information on the tire inflation pressure label:fPlease see the chapter “TIRES AND WHEELS” on page 244.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces

fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
The display as well as the settings for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System take place on the multi-function display.
However, the tire pressure must still be set manually on the wheel.fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE FOR COLD TIRES (68 °F/ 20 °C)” on page 287.
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure increases the risk of a tire failure and resulting loss of control. Furthermore, low tire pressure increases rate of wear of the affected tires.Please note that the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of Tire Pressure Monitoring System low tire pressure telltale. Low tire pressure reduces the road safety of the vehicle and destroys the tire and wheel.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System gives a warning about a pressure drop caused by natural diffusion as well as about a gradual loss of pressure caused by foreign objects.Tire Pressure Monitoring cannot warn you about tire damage that occurs suddenly (e.g. flat tire due to abrupt external effects).fWhen a red tire pressure warning appears, stop immediately in a suitable place and check the tires for damage. If necessary, remedy the damage with a tire sealant.fDo not by any means continue to drive with defective tires.
fSealing the tire with tire sealant is only an emergency repair so you can drive to the nearest specialist workshop.The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph (80 km/h) .fDo not drive with tires in which the tire pressure drops again very quickly. In case of doubt, have tires checked by a specialist workshop.fDefective tires must be replaced immediately at an authorized Porsche dealer.Tires must never be repaired under any circumstances.fIf Tire Pressure Monitoring System is defective (e.g. defective wheel transmitter), contact an authorized Porsche dealer immediately and have the damage repaired. The tire pressure will not be monitored at all or will be monitored only partially when Tire Pressure Monitoring System is defective.
For information on warning messages on the multi- purpose display:fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.fIncomplete entries or selection of the wrong tires on the multi-purpose display affect the accuracy of warnings and messages.The settings in the tire pressure menu must be updated following a wheel change or changes in vehicle loading.fUse only the pressure differences shown in the “ Fill info” display in the Tire pressure menu or from the corresponding tire pressure warning when correcting the tire pressure.fTires can lose air over time without a tire defect being present. A tire pressure warning
will then appear on the multi-purpose display.Check the tire pressure at the next opportunity.
Warning light
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.fAlways check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

The warning light in the instrument panel lights up: – When a loss in pressure has been detected.– In the event of a defect in Tire Pressure Monitoring or a temporary fault.– When learning new fitted wheels/wheel transmitters, as long as the vehicle’s own wheels have not yet been recognized.
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument panel goes out only when the cause of the fault has been rectified.
Overview of tire pressure monitoring functions
Tire Pressure Monitoring offers the following functions: – Display of the actual tire pressure when stationary and while the vehicle is in motion.– Tire pressure warnings in two stages (yellow and red warning).– In the “TPMS” menu, the settings “Fill info” (display of the deviation from the required pressure, refill pressure), “Tire type”, “Full load” and “Comfort press.” are available when the vehicle is stationary.
Tire pressure display on the multi-function display
Selecting the TPMS function on the multi-function display
The “ TPMS” function displays the temperature- dependent tire pressures (actual pressures) in the four wheels.You can watch the tire pressure rise as the temperature increases while driving.
Information
This display of the actual pressures is only for information.fUnder no circumstances should the tire pressures be changed based on this display.
Information
After the ignition is switched on, it can take up to approx. 1 minute until all tire pressures are displayed. Dashes (-.-) appear instead of the tire pressures.
