Instrument Cluster



9025 Instrument cluster

The instrument layout in the 911 Carrera was reworked during the redesign of the interior and all of the instruments, like the rest of the interior, are now illuminated with white light. The five individual instruments are now spaced further apart in the new instrument cluster. This enlarges the display area and thus improves readability. The dials in the S model are aluminium-coloured while the dials in the basic model are finished in black. There are permanent indicators for total mileage, trip mileage, time, exterior temperature and, centred underneath the rev counter, current speed.

The voltmeter has been replaced by the oil temperature indicator in the left-hand round instrument. The warning lights, which were previously located underneath the round instruments, have been incorporated into the dials so that they are more directly in the driver's integrated in the centre round instrument underneath the rev counter and now displays additional functions such as the RDK menu or the stopwatch from the optional Sport Chrono Plus package.







When the ignition is switched on, the warning lights light up for a lamp check.

NOTE: Warnings which have appeared are stored in the corresponding control unit memory.

The instrument cluster employs the following output elements to display information:
