ポルシェパナメーラのタッチパネル
It’s been about nine months since our Panamera was delivered, and I’m finally getting the hang of the buttons around the steering wheel and the touchscreen. At first, if my husband leaned over and said, “Why don’t you turn off the auto start/stop?” I’d panic: “Wait—where is it?!” Thankfully, those days are mostly behind me.
So today, I’m sharing five handy features you can use with the steering-wheel buttons and touchscreen.
The button I use most often is the “♢” button on the right side of the steering wheel.
You can use it to switch the sports exhaust on and off, or assign another function to it. In our car, we’ve set it up to toggle the auto start/stop system, so I use it all the time. You can also add an “Auto Start/Stop” button to the touchscreen home screen, but
having to glance down at the screen and tap it is a bit of a hassle. The “♢” button on the steering wheel is definitely the most convenient.
Another feature I use often is the trip odometer reset after filling up. Turn the scroll wheel on the left side of the steering wheel to bring up the trip display on the second screen from the left.
With the trip distance displayed,
press and hold the button for a few seconds (about two seconds, I think). The display will flash; release the button, and the trip distance resets to “0.0.”
At first, I had no idea where to reset the trip distance, so I never did it. My husband finally showed me how.
I often use this when my daughter is in the front passenger seat: you can adjust the passenger seat from the driver’s side. Instead of unbuckling, leaning across the cabin, and reaching for the seat controls, you can use the buttons on the driver’s seat. It’s really handy.
First, open “Settings” (SET), then select “Vehicle Settings.”
Select “Seat Settings.”
At the top, you’ll see “Passenger Seat Position.” Select it.
The screen will look like this:
Now, use the seat controls on the driver’s side to move the passenger seat. When you’re done, select “✕ Finish seat adjustment.” Pretty clever, right?
When my four-year-old daughter is in the passenger seat, I tell her, “Mommy will use her magic to move your seat!” She’s amazed every time: “What?! How did you do that? You’re amazing!” For now, she completely believes in Mommy’s magic. I reckon I’ve got a few more years before she figures it out!
