Instrument Panel and Multi-Function Display 101
Display and measurement of the engine oil level
Risk of engine damage due to inadequate lubrication.fRegularly check the oil level each time before refueling.fDo not allow the oil level to fall below the minimum mark.
Prerequisites for the oil-level gauge:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Switch off engine, which is at operating temperature.3. Wait for approx. 1 minute. 4. Select the “Oil measurement” function on the multi-function display.
Selecting the Oil measurement function on the multi-function display
fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Example displays for oil level A - Maximum oil level reached B - Minimum oil level reached C - Oil level below minimum D - Oil level above maximum
Measured oil level
The oil level reading is shown on the segment display in the Oil measurement menu.
If the segments are filled in green up to the top line (illustration A), the oil level has reached the maximum mark.fUnder no circumstances add engine oil.
If the bottom segment is shown in yellow (illustration B), the oil level has reached the minimum mark.
The message “ Oil level minimum reached Refill oil ” appears on the multi-function display.fAdd engine oil immediately.
If the bottom segment is red (illustration C), the oil level has dropped below the minimum mark.
The message “ Oil level below min. Refill oil at once Do not drive on ” appears on the multi- function display.fAdd engine oil immediately.
Top-up quantity
The difference between the minimum and maximum marks on the segment display is approx. 1.8 quarts (1.7 liters).fNever add more engine oil than required to reach the maximum mark.
If the segments are shown in yellow up to the top edge (illustration D), this indicates that the maximum engine filling capacity has been exceeded. Exceeding the maximum capacity may result in blue smoke formation and cause long-term damage to the catalytic converters depending on the overfill quantity and various external influences.
If too much engine oil was added, the message “ Oil level above maximum Consult a workshop Driving permitted ” appears on the multi-function display.fHave the oil quantity corrected at the next opportunity.Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
1. Main menu “Vehicle” Select > “ Oil measurement” and confirm.

164 Driving and Driving Safety
Driving off again
The vehicle can be driven off again after being stopped and speed and distance control will be resumed, depending on the operating state of the adaptive cruise control system.
Adaptive cruise control active
1. Press the control stalk on the steering wheel upwards (position 4, RESUME). 2. Press the accelerator pedal briefly. Your vehicle drives off again automatically.
Information
Your vehicle will not drive off if the vehicle detected in front is stationary.
Adaptive cruise control is ready
Automatic speed and distance control can only be resumed when your vehicle is moving.1. Drive off normally. 2. Press the control stalk on the steering wheel upwards (position 4, RESUME). orSet or change the desired speed.
Interrupting and resuming cruise control and distance control
Interrupting cruise control and distance control – OFF
fPress the brake pedal.orPress the control stalk on the steering wheel downwards (position 3, OFF). Adaptive cruise control is inactive.The desired speed that was stored and the desired distance are retained.
Resuming cruise control and distance control – RESUME
fPress the control stalk on the steering wheel upwards (position 4, RESUME). The vehicle accelerates to the desired speed that was stored unless a vehicle traveling in front is detected as driving slower than the desired speed and the distance from this vehicle is less than the desired distance that was set.The status display B changes from grey to orange.orPress the control stalk on the steering wheel upwards and keep it pressed (position 4, RESUME ). The vehicle accelerates in a more sporty driving style to the desired speed that was stored.
Information
If speed and distance control was interrupted by moving the control stalk to position 3 (OFF), it can only be resumed again when the vehicle is moving and no stationary objects are detected in front.
Messages on the multi-function display
If adaptive cruise control was deactivated automatically or if an action cannot be performed, a message to this effect in blue appears on the multi-function display.–“ ACC not available” Adaptive cruise control is not available, e.g. when maneuvering.–“ ACC not possible ABS/PSM intervention” Adaptive cruise control was deactivated because ABS or PSM intervened as a control mechanism.–“ Release parking brake” Adaptive cruise control was deactivated because the electric parking brake was activated.–“ ACC not possible Move gear lever to D/M ” Adaptive cruise control was deactivated because the PDK selector lever is not in position D or manual position M. –“ ACC not possible while stationary” The required action is not possible because your vehicle is stationary, e.g. when setting a desired speed.–“ ACC not possible Revs too high” Adaptive cruise control was deactivated because the engine-speed limit was reached in manual position M of the PDK selector lever/ shift paddles.–“ ACC not possible Gradient too steep” The desired distance or the desired speed cannot be set because the incline of the road is too steep.–“ ACC not possible Stationary object ahead ” The action is not possible because a stationary object was detected ahead.
