Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
preferably without the use of 'kill' in the sentence.
Leading evidence: 'Use of 'kill' in the sentence' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use of 'kill' in the sentence' (1 discussions).

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Can somebody explain what does this yellow car icon with exclamation mark mean? It shows up for few seconds then disappears.
And where I can find description for all screen icons?
Thanks in advance.
It means that your engine is about to explode and to drive to your nearest bank to arrange a massive loan!!
On a serious note, the icons should be explained in the owner's manual.
If you were Scottish, I'd have asked for a Kilt to forgive you Trev
but you're from Wales, what can I get from there?
I didn't find it in the user manual... call me dumb
I think it means that PAS, Porsche Active Safety, part of ACC, is always on. ACC does not have to be active. Your ACC is off (not using it). The symbol means your driving to close to the car in front of you for some time so its getting ready to brake the car if you get to close. It's its a warning. I think if it goes red, it will brake for you. It disappears probably because the car in front of you disappeared.
Thank you Patrick & Chows, but:
1) it shows up whether the ACC is on or off.
2) it shows up while choosing different displays
3) I thought it could be about being too close to the car behind me or front me, or about driving at relatively different speeds vs the car behind or front... it didn't show up when I tested it. I accelerated and got close to the car in front of me in a traffic jam, but it didn't show up then.
In the US manual it is on page 165 in the section titled "ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL" under the subsection titled "Messages on the multi-function display" as a note, verbatim:
"
ACC OFF -
Adaptive Cruise Control was deactivated"

It means WARNING YELLOW PORSCHE NEARBY. They've started installing them in newer Porsches after so many owners complained of getting passed by a streak of yellow that through the blur somehow resembled a Cayman GT. Owners asked for some sort of early warning system whenever they were about to be overtaken by the yellow menace so they could simply pull over and park.
Yep, I'm sure that's what it is...
Thank you gentlemen for your help and sense of humor. I found the answer by searching the Good to Know App. Here it is copy/paste:
"If the vehicle is driving too close to the vehicle in front for a long time, to avoid a collision if the vehicle in front brakes, a latent warning (yellow icon) appears on the multi-function display to warn the driver.
Stay further back from the vehicle in front if necessary."
What did I say in post 5
The symbol means your driving to close to the car in front of you for some time so its getting ready to brake the car if you get to close. It's its a warning.
Guess where I read that?
I read what you quoted in the app
Unfortunately, I summarized it cause I was to lazy to type the whole thing in like you did.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
