A – TachometerThe 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.B – SpeedometerThe analogue display B is located on the left next
to the tachometer in the instrument panel.C – Multi-Function DisplayFor information on the multi-function display:
f Please see the chapter “OPERATING THE
MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY IN THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL” on page 115.
D – Engine Oil Temperature GaugeA warning message will appear on the multi-
function display in the instrument panel if the
engine oil temperature is too high.
f Reduce engine speed and engine load
immediately if the red zone is reached.
For information on warning messages on the
multi-function display:
f Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on page 152.E – Coolant Temperature GaugeIf the cooling system is in any way faulty, consult
a qualified specialist workshop. We recommend
that you have an authorized Porsche dealer to do
this work, as they have the trained workshop
personnel and the necessa ry parts and tools for
this type of work.
Pointer in the lower area – engine cold
f Avoid high engine speeds and heavy
engine loading.
Pointer in the middle – normal operating
temperature
Pointer may move up to the red area when engine
is heavily loaded and outside temperature is high.
Coolant temperature warningThe temperature gauge warning light will
illuminate if the coolant temperature is too high.
The warning message “Engine temperature too
high” will also appear on the multi-function display
in the instrument panel.
f Switch off engine and allow to cool.
f Check radiators and air guides in front end of
vehicle for obstructions.
f Check the coolant level.
Top up with coolant if necessary.
f Have the fault corrected.
f Please see the chapte r “CHECKING COOLANT
LEVEL AND ADDING COOLANT” on page 257.
f Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on page 152.
Note on operation
To prevent excessive temperatures, the cooling
air ducts must not be obstructed by covering
them (e.g. with film, “stone guards”, etc.).

Coolant level warningThe temperature gauge warning light flashes if the
coolant level is too low.
The warning message “Check coolant level” also
appears on the multi-function display in the
instrument panel
f Switch off engine and allow to cool.
f Add coolant.
If the coolant level is too low, warning indicators
may light up if the vehicle tilts at an extreme angle
(e.g. steep slopes) or generates high lateral
acceleration while travelling 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.
f Please see the chapter “CHECKING COOLANT
LEVEL AND ADDING COOLANT” on page 257.
f Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on page 152.
Caution!
Risk of engine damage.
f Do not continue driving if the warning persists
even when the engine coolant level is correct.
fHave the fault corrected.
F – Engine Oil Pressure GaugeThe oil pressure is controlled according to
requirements and should be at least 29 psi
(2.0 bar) at an engine speed of 3,000 rpm and
at least 44 psi (3.0 bar) at an engine speed of
5,000 rpm.
The engine oil pressure varies depending on the
engine speed, oil temperature and engine load.
If oil pressure drops abruptly and a message
is displayed on the multi-function display
when the engine is running or while driving:
f Stop immediately in a suitable place.
f Switch off the engine.
f Check whether there is an obvious oil leak on
or under the car.
f Select “Oil level ” on the multi-function display.
f Please see the chapter “OIL LEVEL DISPLAY
AND MEASUREMENT OF THE ENGINE OIL
LEVEL” on page 121.
f Add engine oil if necessary.
Caution!
Risk of engine damage.
f Do not continue driving if there is an obvious
oil leak.
f Do not continue driving if the warning message
appears even when the oil level is correct.
f Have the fault corrected.
Please contact a qualified specialist workshop.
We recommend that you have an authorized
Porsche dealer to do this work as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary parts and tools.
G – Fuel GaugeThe fuel gauge displays the contents of the tank
when the ignition is on.
For information on fuel qu ality and refill capacities:
f Please see the chapter “FILLING CAPACITIES”
on page 329.
For information on fuel and refuelling:
f Please see the chapter “FUEL” on page 265.
If the vehicle’s inclination changes (e.g. uphill/
downhill driving), minor deviations in the gauge
may occur.
