Things you didn't know about the Porsche 911 (late 991) instrument panel

It's been 7 years since I owned my beloved black Carrera (991.2 Porsche 911 Carrera)... Wait, has it already been 7 years? ! Really? ? ?

No, but the black Carrera was delivered in March 2017, so seven years have passed after all. No, time really flies too fast.

I think it's no good if I don't start doing what I want to do in life again.

Well, that's not what I'm talking about this time, but I'm going to tell you about something that I only noticed after owning it for 7 years (to whom? lol).

Movement of the multifunction display on the instrument panel

The first thing I learned was about the ``multi-function display'' on the instrument panel, which is the second display from the right of the five meters.

Here it is, here ↓

Some of the items displayed in this area can be changed (selected) by pushing the lever on the lower right side of the steering column up and down, and towards and towards you.

I knew this because I had played around with it many times.

So what is something that I didn't know (or didn't notice) until now?

For example, let's use this screen called "Vehicle" ↓ Here, if you select the item "Information", you can "check vehicle information (messages, service intervals, average fuel consumption, chassis settings)", etc.

However, even if I always select this "information", I immediately go to the next one! I didn't notice this fact until now because I was always thinking about it.

that is.

Yes.

For example, if you select "Information" and do not take the next action.

After exactly 5 seconds, an explanation of what the "Information" item was was displayed! ! !

picture? I thought that was it (lol)? ? ?

No, but I don't think many people are aware of this. That's what I thought.

Next, select "Oil measurement" and wait 5 seconds...

After all, an explanation of what the oil measurement items are is displayed! !

Even "restrictions"...

Is displayed! !

I'm persistent (lol), but even in "Settings"...

It will be displayed! !

Well, there wasn't much of an explanation given (lol).

This is because most of you are like me and immediately select the next option when you say "Hi, next, next", so I think you may not notice this "what will appear if you wait 5 seconds". .

Eh. I guess I'm the only one who didn't realize that (lol).

I learned about it for the first time after 7 years and was very impressed. Just this much.

By the way, the same goes for tire pressure.

Select "Filling information" and wait 5 seconds...

explanation!

Then, select "tire type" and wait...

He will tell you after all.

Furthermore, regarding each tire type option...

He's teaching me.

As for “comfort”…

Hmm, what, the comfort setting means lowering the pressure so that you can ride downhill comfortably? !

That was also a "huh" (lol), but I was really surprised that an explanation like this would appear after waiting 5 seconds.

Honestly, that's all there is to it, but I was a little moved by it, so I decided to write about it as a discovery seven years after I received the car.

If you have never experienced this "wait for 5 seconds", please give it a try.

When the explanation comes out, I think you'll be happy and say, "Wow, it's true!" (Maybe (lol)).

That's all~.
