92 Instrument Panel and Multi-Function Display
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.

Risk of damage due to unintentional folding back of wiper arm and frozen wiper blades.fAlways hold the wiper arm securely when replacing the wiper blade.fThaw the wiper blades before lifting them from the window.
Wiper blades that are in perfect condition are vital for a clear view.fHave the wiper blades replaced twice per year (before and after the cold season) or if wiper performance deteriorates or the blades are damaged.fAfter switching off the ignition, press the wiper stalk down once 4. The wipers move upwards by approx. 45°.fClean the windshield regularly with window cleaner, especially after washing the vehicle in a car wash.We recommend Porsche window cleaner. If they are very dirty (e.g. soiled with insect remains), they can be cleaned with a sponge or cloth.
