92 Instrument Panel and Multi-Function Display
Displays on the Instrument Panel
A – Engine oil temperature gauge
A warning message will appear on the multi- function display in the instrument panel if the engine oil temperature is too high.fReduce engine speed and engine load immediately if the red zone is reached.
For information on warning messages on the multi-function display:fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
B – Speedometer
The analog display B is located on the left next to the tachometer in the instrument panel.
C – Tachometer
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.

Minor Repairs 243
Information
If pure water is added in an emergency, the mixing ratio will have to be corrected.A significant loss of coolant indicates a leak in the cooling system.fThe cause must be eliminated without delay. Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
Hands, fingers, items of clothing (ties, sleeves, etc.), necklaces or long hair can be drawn in by moving parts, e.g. the engine-compartment blowers, drive belt, etc., when working in the engine compartment.
The engine-compartment blowers are mounted under the engine compartment lid.After the engine is switched off, the engine compartment temperature is monitored for approx. 30 minutes.During this period, and depending on temperature, the engine-compartment blowers may continue to run or start to run.fCarry out work in this area only with the engine off and exercise extreme caution.
The engine and adjacent components become very hot when the engine is running.fExercise extreme caution when working in the engine compartment.
Brake Fluid
Regular checking of the brake fluid is part of servicing.
The fluid level should always be between the MIN and MAX markings.
A slight decrease in the fluid level due to wear and automatic readjustment of the disk brakes is normal.However, if the fluid level falls significantly or goes below the MIN marking, the brake system may have developed a leak.fHave the brake system checked immediately. Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
Brake fluid is hazardous to your health, and may be fatal if swallowed.fKeep brake fluid out of children's reach.fIf brake fluid gets into your eye, immediately rinse with clean water for a few minutes. Then see a doctor immediately.fPlease note all the information on the refill container of the brake fluid.
Brake fluid attacks and can damage paintwork.fImmediately rinse off spilled brake fluid with clean water.
Changing brake fluid
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time. The absorbed water can impair braking efficiency.fIt is important therefore to have the brake fluid changed in accordance with the change intervals specified in the “Maintenance” booklet.fUse only brake fluid authorized by Porsche.
Brake warning light USA
Brake warning light Canada
The warning light on the instrument panel and the warning message on the multi-function display alert you to the fact that the brake fluid level is too low and could indicate brake circuit failure if the pedal travel is greater than normal.
