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.

Oil level
Display and measurement of the engine oil
level
Caution!
Risk of engine damage.
f Regularly check the oil level each time before
refuelling.
f Do not allow the oil level to fall below the minimum mark.
Prerequisites for the oil-level gauge:
– Ignition is switched on or
Engine is running while the vehicle is stationary
or in motion.
– After opening the hood, the oil level can only be measured after driving for at least 6 miles
(10 km).
Activate the “Oil level” function on the
multi-function display
f Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on page 152. Measured oil level
The oil level reading is
shown on the segment
display in the oil level menu.
If the segments are filled in up to the top line,
the oil level has reached the maximum mark.
f Under no circumstances add engine oil.
If the bottom segment is filled in, the oil level has
reached the minimum mark.
The message “Check Minimum reached” appears
on the multi-function display.
f Add engine oil immediately. If the bottom segment is red, the oil level has
dropped below the minimum mark.
The message “Oil level below minimum” appears
on the multi-function display.
f
Add engine oil immediately.
Top-up quantity
The difference between the minimum and
maximum marks on the segment display is
approx. 1 litre.
One segment of the display corresponds to
a top-up quantity of approx. 0.26 US quarts
(0.25 liters).
f Never add more engine oil than required to
reach the maximum mark.

Maintenance and Car Care
Engine OilIt is important to perform oil changes regularly in
accordance with the intervals specified in your
Maintenance Schedule.Engine oil consumptionIt is normal for your engine to consume oil.
The rate of oil consumption depends on the quality
and viscosity of oil, the speed at which the engine
is operated, the climate, road conditions as well
as the amount of dilution and oxidation of the
lubricant.
If the vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and
consumes a normal amount of oil, the engine oil
measurement may not show any drop in the oil
level at all, even afte r 600 miles (1000 km) or
more. This is because the oil is gradually
becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it
appear that the oil level has not changed.
The diluting ingredients evaporate out when the
vehicle is driven at high speeds, as on an
expressway, making it then appear that oil is
excessively consumed after driving at high
speeds.
If the conditions you drive your vehicle in are
dusty, humid, or hot, the frequency of the oil
change intervals should be greater. If the vehicle is driven at a high rate of speed,
climatic conditions are warm, and the load is high,
the oil should be checked more frequently, as
driving conditions will de
termine the rate of oil
consumption.
– The engine in your vehicle depends on oil to lubricate and cool all of its moving parts.
Therefore, the engine oil should be checked
regularly and kept at the required level.
– Make it a habit to have the engine oil level checked with every refueling.
– The oil pressure warning light is not an oil level indicator.
The oil pressure warning light indicates serious
engine damage may be occuring when lit, if
engine rpm is above idle speed.
Checking Engine-Oil Levelf Check the oil level on the multi-function display
at regular intervals before refuelling.
f Please see the chapter “OIL LEVEL DISPLAY
AND MEASUREMENT OF THE ENGINE OIL
LEVEL” on page 121.
Warning!
Engine oil is hazardous to your health and
may be fatal if swallowed.
f Keep engine oil out of children's reach.
Used engine oil contains chemicals that have
caused cancer in laboratory animals.
f Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and water.
Top-up quantity
The difference between the minimum and
maximum marks on the segment display is
approx. 1.06 US quearts (1 liter).
One segment of the display corresponds to
a top-up quantity of approx. 0.26 US quarts
(0.25 liters).
f Never add more engine oil than required to
reach the maximum mark.

Maintenance and Car Care
Refuelling
Danger!
The RF energy from a cellphone can cause a
sparking on bare metal, much like aluminum
foil in a microwave oven. The spark could
ignite gasoline fumes present while refuling.
Static discharge from your body can ignite
gasoline fumes present when you get back
out of the vehicle and touch the fuel nozzle.
In either case, resulting fire can cause
serious damage to the vehicle, serious injury
or death to persons in immediate vicinity.
f Do not use a cellphone while pumping gas.
fDo not re-enter the vehicle while pumping gas.
1. Stop the engine and switch off the ignition.
2 . O p e n t h e f i l l e r f l a p b y p re s s i n g o n t h e re a r p a r t of the filler flap ( arrow).
The vehicle must be unlocked. 3. Slowly open and remove the tank cap.
Put the tank cap into the holder ( arrow).
4. Add the fuel additive recommended by Porsche if necessary.
5. Insert the pump nozzle fully into the filler neck.
The handle of the pump nozzle must point
downwards.
Total capacity:
Panamera S: approx. 21.14 US gallons
(80 liters).
Panamera 4S/Panamera Turbo:
approx. 26.42 US gallons (100 liters).
The reserve is approx. 3.96 US gallons
(15 liters) for each.

6. Operate the pump nozzle and refuel the vehicle.
Do not add further fuel once the correctly
operated automatic pump nozzle has switched
off. Fuel could spray back or could flow over
when heated.
7. Replace the tank cap immediately after refuelling and close it until you hear and feel
it locking.
8. Close the filler flap and press on the rear of the filler flap until it engages securely.
If you lose the tank filler cap, you must
replace it only with an original part.
Caution!
Risk of damage. Decorative foils may fade
if they come into contact with fuel.
f Wipe off any spilled fuel immediately. Emergency unlocking of the filler flap
If the electrical unlocking mechanism is faulty,
the filler flap can be opened as follows:
– Pull the emergency release mechanism behind
the right luggage compartment trim panel in
direction of arrow .
The filler flap pops open.
Fuel Can
Danger!
Risk of fire or explosion if the fuel can is
damaged in an accident and fuel escapes.
Escaping vapors can be harmful to health.
f Do not carry a fuel can on journeys.
fObserve the relevant laws.
