Measuring the oil level after topping up engine oil or opening the engine compartment lid
The oil level can be checked after waiting for approx. 1 minute with the vehicle parked on a level surface and the engine at operating temperature.
If the engine compartment lid is opened when the engine is cold (e.g. in order to top up engine oil), the oil level cannot be displayed for a certain time.The message “ No information about oil level available at present ” appears on the multi- function display.fEngine oil should therefore only be topped up with the engine at operating temperature. This ensures short waiting times for the soonest possible oil level display.
Failure
If the oil-level indicator fails, the message “ Oil level measurement fault Consult a workshop Driving permitted ” appears on the multi-function display.
Setting speed limits
If a speed limit is preset and activated on the multi-function display, a warning message appears if the speed limit is exceeded.A speed limit can be used to remind the driver to keep to the maximum speed permitted for the tire type fitted to the vehicle, for example.
Setting a speed limit
You can either adopt the current speed of the vehicle or specify your own speed limit.
Activating and deactivating speed limits
Adjusting vehicle settings
Various vehicle settings can be modified in the “ Settings” submenu.
For information on modifying vehicle settings:fPlease see the chapter “VEHICLE SETTINGS ON THE MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY” on page 117.

190 Driving and Driving Safety
Warning messages
The warning message “ Sport mode not available ” appears on the multi-function display in the instrument panel in the event of a fault.
For information on warning messages on the multi-function display:fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Information
After the ignition is switched off, Sport mode is automatically reset to Normal mode.fPlease see the chapter “PORSCHE ACTIVE SUSPENSION MANAGEMENT (PASM)” on page 185.fPlease see the chapter “PORSCHE DYNAMIC CHASSIS CONTROL (PDCC)” on page 187.
Extending Front and Rear Spoilers
The extending spoilers improve driving stability at high speeds.
Spoilers extended manually or as a result of selecting Sport Plus mode do not retract when the vehicle stops.fPlease remember, for example when parking or in multi-storey car parks, that the ground clearance is limited.
Automatic mode
Depending on the vehicle speed and the position of the sun roof, the spoilers extend automatically above approx. 75 mph (120 km/h) and retract again below approx. 50 mph (80 km/h).
If the automatic control system fails, the warning message “ Spoiler loss Reduce speed” appears on the multi-function display.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Display of the warning message “ Spoiler loss Reduce speed ” indicates failure of the extending spoilers. Driving stability will be adversely affected, for example through increased rear axle lift at higher speeds.fAdapt your driving style and speed to the changed driving behavior.fHave the fault corrected at an authorized Porsche dealer.
