The start of the red zone on the tachometer or rev-counter scale is a visual warning of the maximum permissible engine speed.
If the red zone is reached during acceleration, fuel feed is interrupted in order to protect the engine.
D – Multi-function display
For information on the multi-function display:fPlease see the chapter “OPERATING THE MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL” on page 96.
E – Coolant temperature gauge
fIf the cooling system is in any way faulty, consult an authorized Porsche dealer.
Pointer in the lower area – engine cold
fAvoid high engine speeds and heavy engine loading.
Pointer in the middle – normal operating temperature
Pointer may move up to the red area when the engine is heavily loaded and outside temperature is high.
Coolant temperature warning
If the coolant temperature is too high, the temperature gauge needle moves to the maximum mark and the temperature gauge warning light lights up.The warning message “Engine too hot Park vehicle to cool down” will also appear on the multi-function display in the instrument panel.fSwitch engine off and let it cool. fCheck radiators and air guides in front end of vehicle for obstructions.fCheck the coolant level.Top up with coolant if necessary.fHave the fault corrected.fPlease see the chapter “CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL AND ADDING COOLANT” on page 242.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Information
To prevent excessive temperatures, the cooling air ducts must not be obstructed by covering them (e.g. with film, “stone guards”, etc.).
Coolant level warning
At engine temperatures below 140 °F (60 °C):
A low coolant level is indicated by the warning message “Refill coolant Observe engine temperature” on the multi-function display in the instrument panel.fAdd coolant.
At engine temperatures above 140 °F (60 °C):
A low coolant level is indicated by the warning message “Refill coolant immediately Do not drive on” on the multi-function display in the instrument panel. The temperature gauge needle also moves to the maximum mark and the temperature gauge warning light flashes.fSwitch engine off and let it cool.fAdd coolant.
If the coolant level is low, warning indicators may light up if the vehicle tilts at an extreme angle (e.g. steep slopes) or generates high lateral acceleration while traveling round long bends (e.g. driving in circles). If the warnings do not disappear once the vehicle has assumed “normal” operating state, check the coolant level.fPlease see the chapter “CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL AND ADDING COOLANT” on page 242.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Risk of engine damage.fDo not continue driving if the warning persists even when the engine coolant level is correct.fHave the fault corrected.

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.
1. Main menu “Vehicle” Select > “ Oil measurement” and confirm.

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.
Setting speed limits
If a speed limit is preset and activated on the multi-function display, a warning message appears if the speed limit is exceeded.A speed limit can be used to remind the driver to keep to the maximum speed permitted for the tire type fitted to the vehicle, for example.
