General information regarding the
on-board computer functionsRange on remaining fuel
The range on remaining fuel is continuously recal-
culated during the journey based on the fuel level,
current consumption and average consumption.
The more the fuel level falls, the more spontan-
eously the display reacts. For this reason, the
range on remaining fuel is not displayed if less
than 9 miles (15 kilometers).
If the vehicle's inclination changes while driving or
refueling, incorrect range information may
temporarily be given.
Note
If the tank is nearly empty and you top up with only
a small quantity of fuel, an accurate range on
remaining fuel is impossible.Average consumption and average speed
The values displayed are based on the distance
travelled since the last reset to “zero”.
You can set the starting time for a measurement
before or during the trip.
Switching the ignition off does not reset the
measurements. It is therefore possible to collect
values over long periods.
Disconnecting the car battery will cause these
memories to be erased.
Tire pressure
The Tire pressure function of the on-board
computer displays the tire pressures dependent
on temperature in the four wheels. You can watch
the tire pressure rise and fall while driving.
The display is only for information.
fTo correct the tire pressures, always use the
displayed values from the “Info pressure”
display in the tire pressure menu.

Practical Tips, Emergency Service

Winter operation The capacity and ability of the battery to store
power decreases at low outside temperatures.
Additionally, more power is consumed while
starting, and the headlights, heater, rear window
defogger, etc., are used more frequently.
fLet your Porsche dealer test the battery’s
capacity before winter sets in.
The battery will discharge more quickly if your
vehicle is not driven on a daily basis over a
distance of several miles. The more often you
drive your vehicle, and the longer the distance
driven on each trip, the more opportunity the
vehicle’s charging system will have to recharge the
batteries.
Replacing battery The service life of the battery is subject to normal
wear; it depends greatly on care, climatic condi-
tions, and driving conditions (distances, loads).
fOnly use an original Porsche battery, with the
correct part number, as a replacement.
fPlease observe the disposal instructions for
batteries.
Putting vehicle into operationAfter the battery is connected or after an comple-
tely discharged battery is charged, the multi-
functional PSM light lights up on the instrument
panel and a message appears on the on-board
computer to indicate a fault.
This fault can be remedied with a few simple
steps:
1. Start the engine.
2. With the vehicle stationary, perform a few
steering movements to the left and right and
then drive a short distance in a straight line
until the multifunctinal PSM light goes out and
the message on the on-board computer
disappears.
3. If the warnings do not disappear, then:
Drive carefully to the nearest authorized
Porsche dealer.
Have the fault remedied.
4. After the warnings disappear:
Stop the vehicle in a suitable place.
fPerform adaptation of the power windows:
Please see the chapter “STORING END
POSITION OF THE WINDOWS” on Page 29.
