Coolant level warning<br />

The temperature gauge warning light flashes if the<br />

coolant level is too low.<br />

The warning message “Check coolant level” also<br />

appears on the multi-function display in the<br />

instrument panel<br />

f Switch off engine and allow to cool.<br />

f Add coolant.<br />

If the coolant level is too low, warning indicators<br />

may light up if the vehicle tilts at an extreme angle<br />

(e.g. steep slopes) or generates high lateral<br />

acceleration while travelling round long bends<br />

(e.g. driving in circles). If the warnings do not<br />

disappear once the vehicle has assumed “normal”<br />

operating state, check the coolant level.<br />

f Please see the chapter “CHECKING COOLANT<br />

LEVEL AND ADDING COOLANT” on page 257.<br />

f Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF<br />

WARNING MESSAGES” on page 152.<br />

Caution!<br />

Risk of engine damage.<br />

f Do not continue driving if the warning persists<br />

even when the engine coolant level is correct.<br />

f Have the fault corrected.<br />

F – Engine Oil Pressure Gauge<br />

The oil pressure is controlled according to<br />

requirements and should be at least 29 psi<br />

(2.0 bar) at an engine speed of 3,000 rpm and<br />

at least 44 psi (3.0 bar) at an engine speed of<br />

5,000 rpm.<br />

The engine oil pressure varies depending on the<br />

engine speed, oil temperature and engine load.<br />

If oil pressure drops abruptly and a message<br />

is displayed on the multi-function display<br />

when the engine is running or while driving:<br />

f Stop immediately in a suitable place.<br />

f Switch off the engine.<br />

f Check whether there is an obvious oil leak on<br />

or under the car.<br />

f Select “Oil level” on the multi-function display.<br />

f Please see the chapter “OIL LEVEL DISPLAY<br />

AND MEASUREMENT OF THE ENGINE OIL<br />

LEVEL” on page 121.<br />

f Add engine oil if necessary.<br />

Caution!<br />

Risk of engine damage.<br />

f Do not continue driving if there is an obvious<br />

oil leak.<br />

f Do not continue driving if the warning message<br />

appears even when the oil level is correct.<br />

f Have the fault corrected.<br />

Please contact a qualified specialist workshop.<br />

We recommend that you have an authorized<br />

Porsche dealer to do this work as they have<br />

trained workshop personnel and the necessary<br />

parts and tools.<br />

G – Fuel Gauge<br />

The fuel gauge displays the contents of the tank<br />

when the ignition is on.<br />

For information on fuel quality and refill capacities:<br />

f Please see the chapter “FILLING CAPACITIES”<br />

on page 329.<br />

For information on fuel and refuelling:<br />

f Please see the chapter “FUEL” on page 265.<br />

If the vehicle’s inclination changes (e.g. uphill/<br />

downhill driving), minor deviations in the gauge<br />

may occur.<br />
