Instrument Panel and Multi-Function Display
111
Coolant level warning
The temperature gauge warning light flashes if the
coolant level is too low.
The warning message “Check coolant level” also
appears on the multi-function display in the
instrument panel
f
Switch off engine and allow to cool.
f
Add coolant.
If the coolant level is too low, warning indicators
may light up if the vehicle tilts at an extreme angle
(e.g. steep slopes) or generates high lateral
acceleration while travelling 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.
f
Please see the chapter “CHECKING COOLANT
LEVEL AND ADDING COOLANT” on page 257.
f
Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on page 152.
Caution!
Risk of engine damage.
f
Do not continue driving if the warning persists
even when the engine coolant level is correct.
f
Have the fault corrected.
F – Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure is controlled according to
requirements and should be at least 29 psi
(2.0 bar) at an engine speed of 3,000 rpm and
at least 44 psi (3.0 bar) at an engine speed of
5,000 rpm.
The engine oil pressure varies depending on the
engine speed, oil temperature and engine load.
If oil pressure drops abruptly and a message
is displayed on the multi-function display
when the engine is running or while driving:
f
Stop immediately in a suitable place.
f
Switch off the engine.
f
Check whether there is an obvious oil leak on
or under the car.
f
Select “
Oil level
” on the multi-function display.
f
Please see the chapter “OIL LEVEL DISPLAY
AND MEASUREMENT OF THE ENGINE OIL
LEVEL” on page 121.
f
Add engine oil if necessary.
Caution!
Risk of engine damage.
f
Do not continue driving if there is an obvious
oil leak.
f
Do not continue driving if the warning message
appears even when the oil level is correct.
f
Have the fault corrected.
Please contact a qualified specialist workshop.
We recommend that you have an authorized
Porsche dealer to do this work as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary
parts and tools.
G – Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge displays the contents of the tank
when the ignition is on.
For information on fuel quality and refill capacities:
f
Please see the chapter “FILLING CAPACITIES”
on page 329.
For information on fuel and refuelling:
f
Please see the chapter “FUEL” on page 265.
If the vehicle’s inclination changes (e.g. uphill/
downhill driving), minor deviations in the gauge
may occur.
