Rain sensor operation, windshield wipers
In rain sensor mode, the amount of rain on the windshield is measured. The wipe interval is automatically controlled accordingly.
Rain sensor operation is activated automatically at speeds of less than approx. 2.5 mph (4 km/h) when the windshield wipers are switched on.
If a speed of approx. 5 mph (8 km/h) is exceeded, the system switches to the preselected wiper speed.
Information
fIf the wiper stalk is in position 1 when the ignition is switched on, the rain sensor is activated as soon as the vehicle speed exceeds approx. 2.5 mph (4 km/h).fIf the wiper stalk is in position 2 or 3 when the ignition is switched on, the windshield wipers remain switched off until the wiper stalk is actuated.
Information
The wiper is stopped when the luggage compartment lid is opened.
After closing the luggage compartment lid, the wiper stalk must be operated in order to switch the wiper back on.
Adjusting the rain sensor sensitivity
fMove switch A upwards – high sensitivity . The setting is confirmed by one wipe of the windshield.fMove switch A downwards – low sensitivity .
Activating and deactivating automatic rain sensor operation on the multi-function display
For information on automatic rain sensor operation:fPlease see the chapter “ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING RAIN SENSOR OPERATION” on page 121.
Headlight washer system
The washer sprays only while low beam or high beam is activated. fPress button B under the wiper stalk.
After every 10 wipes on the windshield, the headlights are cleaned automatically as well. The wipe count starts from zero again when the low beam is switched off.

Switching on the rear window wiper when reverse gear is engaged
In the multi-function display, you can configure the rear wiper to automatically perform a series of wipes when it rains or when the windshield wipers are used while reverse gear is engaged.
For information on configuring the automatic function for activating the rear wiper when reverse gear is engaged:fPlease see the chapter “SETTING ACTIVATION OF THE REAR WIPER WHEN REVERSE GEAR IS ENGAGED” on page 121.
Information
fClean the wiper blades with window cleaner at regular intervals, especially after washing the vehicle in a car wash.We recommend Porsche window cleaner. If the wiper blades are very dirty (e.g. soiled with insect remains), they can be cleaned with a sponge or cloth.
If the wiper blades judder or squeak, this may be due to the following:– If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car wash, wax residues may adhere to the windshield. These wax residues can be removed only by using window cleaner concentrate.Please see the chapter “WASHER FLUID WINDSHIELD” on page 224.– The wiper blades may be damaged or worn.fReplace damaged wiper blades immediately.fContact an authorized Porsche dealer for more information.

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.
