 Maintenance Calculator Reset:

NOTE: All Cayenne V6 engines are factory filled with an engine oil of VW
specification "50300". New vehicles produced have their maintenance calculator set for
an oil change service interval of 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or 1 year. The maintenance
calculator in the Cayenne (V6) determines the time of the engine oil change depending
on the vehicle load and driving style, and requests for "Service" via the multi-function
display.

After changing the oil, the oil change service interval must be reset in the instrument cluster using the
PST2 (Porsche System Tester 2). The country version for which the new vehicle was produced is stored
in the control modules. The PST2 automatically detects this country version before resetting the
maintenance calculator and depending on this, offers the following options for oil change service
intervals:

1. The country version of the vehicle corresponds to one of the countries listed in Table 1.
Depending on the engine oil used for the oil change, the following selection options for oil
change service intervals are available in the selection menu of the PST2 for these vehicles,
when resetting the maintenance calculator with the PST2:

cardiagn.com
1. 1.1 If an engine oil in accordance with the VW specification "50300" was used: The oil
change service interval is set in the maintenance calculator for an oil change service
interval of up 30,000 km or 2 years, after selecting and confirming this oil quality in the
PST2 menu => "Engine oil according to VW spec. "50300".

2. 1.2 If an engine oil not in accordance with the VW specification "50300" was used: The
oil change service interval is set in the maintenance calculator for a fixed oil change
service interval of 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or 1 year, after selecting and confirming this
oil quality in the PST2 menu => "Engine oil with general Porsche approval".

2. The country version of the vehicle "does not" correspond to one of the countries listed in Table
1. For vehicles having these country versions, all engine oils approved by Porsche may be
used which are listed in this bulletin below and Cayenne Technical Information Bulletin,
GROUP 1, NO. 4/04 . Even when an engine oil meeting the VW specification "50300" is used,
the oil change service interval of 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or 1 year is to be observed.

1. 2.1 If an engine oil approved by Porsche was used: The oil change service interval is
set for a fixed oil change service interval of 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or 1 year when
resetting the maintenance calculator with the PST2.

For more information about the oil change interval for Cayenne V6 and how to reset the "Maintenance
Calculator" in the instrument cluster, see CAYENNE (V6) - ENGINE OILS APPROVED BY PORSCHE -
OIL CHANGE SERVICE INTERVAL technical service bulletin (GROUP 1, NO. 3/04).

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS)

NOTE: To determine the appropriate reset procedure, refer to TPMS RESET INDEX .
Only vehicles listed in this index have a TPMS reset.

CAUTION: 1st generation TPM wheel electronics are not compatible with 2nd generation
TPM wheel electronics. 1st generation is up to 2008, and 2nd generation is 2009 and
 beyond.

If wheels with wheel electronics from the 1st TPM generation are mounted on a vehicle with a
2nd generation TPM system (or vice versa), the wheel electronics will not be recognized by
the TPM system. The TPM system is not active and a corresponding warning is displayed in
the multi-function display of the instrument cluster. The wheel electronics will also be stored
as defective in the fault memory of the TPM control unit.

Wheel electronics unit (sensor) part numbers are:

2005-07: 997.606.021.00 (433 MHz)

2008: 997.606.021.01 (433 MHz)

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) > TPMS RESET - PROCEDURE 1

Tire Pressure Monitoring begins to "learn" the wheels after a wheel change, wheel transmitter
replacement, a tire pressure adjustment (when a warning message has been displayed), once an update
of the tire settings has been performed. During this process, Tire Pressure Monitoring recognizes the
wheels and their locations. The message "No monitoring, system is learning" appears on the multi-
purpose display. The wheel learning process takes place exclusively when the vehicle is being driven
above 16 mph (25 km/h). Tire Pressure Monitoring requires a certain amount of time to learn the wheels.

NOTE: The tire type and size must be updated even if the settings for the new set of
wheels are the same as for the old wheels. If the tire settings are not updated, the message
"TIRE CHANGE? UPDATE SETTINGS!" is displayed on the multi-purpose display.
Starting TPMS Learn:

1. Select menu "TIRE PRESSURE", then "ADJUST". Set tire type and tire size (both items must
be set). See Operating Multi-Purpose Display .

2. The learning process is now started, and will be completed when vehicle is driven. The
message "NO MONITORING - SYSTEM LEARNING" is displayed. The current tire pressure
will be displayed once the learning phase is complete.

Operating Multi-Purpose Display:

With multi-function steering wheel:

Selecting menu, function, setting option: Rotary knob (top right button).

Confirming selection: Press rotary knob.

Moving back one or several selection levels: Button below rotary knob (middle right button).

Without multi-function steering wheel: (Use the lower lever on the right of the steering column.)

Selecting menu, function, setting option: Push the lever downwards or upwards.

cardiagn.com
NOTE: If tire pressures have been adjusted, no reset procedure is required.

NOTE: If tires have been rotated, or a tire pressure sensor or wheel has been replaced,
the TPM system must be reset. See procedure below.

Tire Pressure Monitoring begins to "learn" new tire pressure sensors after a wheel change or sensor
replacement after updating the tire specification settings. During the Learn process, the TPMS
recognizes the wheels and their locations. A "No Monitoring" message appears on the multi-purpose
display. The wheel learning process takes place exclusively when the vehicle is being driven above 16
mph (25 km/h). Tire Pressure Monitoring requires a certain amount of time to learn the wheels.

Updating Tire Specification Settings:

NOTE: The on-board computer is operated with the lower left lever on the steering
column.

1. Push operating lever forward in order to switch on the selection field.

2. Select "TPC" with the operating lever.

3. Push operating lever forward. The display changes to the Tire pressure menu.

4. Select "Set" with the operating lever.

5. Push the operating lever forward. Select desired tire type: summer or winter.

6. Push operating lever forward. A display for confirming the selected type of tire appears.
 7. Select "Continue" and push the operating lever forward.

8. Select the appropriate tire size (18 or 19 inch) and push operating lever forwards. A display for
confirming the selected tire size appears.

9. If "Process complete" is displayed, learning mode will be initiated.

10. Drive vehicle above 16 mph (25 km/h) until correct tire pressures are displayed.

NOTE: The message "Process aborted" appears if the setting process is interrupted. All
entries made up to this point are lost, and the original settings remain in effect. Only if the
message "Process complete" appears after the settings have been made will the tire pressure
monitoring re-learn the wheels.
