check oil is an onboard way of checking the oil level in the crankcase without using the dipstick (997's don't even have a dipstick anymore)

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.

Bottom left of center gauge. What does limit check oil refer to? Low oil? Low pressure? Routine check at start? Do not buy this car you dummy?
Anyone own one of these?
Limit sets the speed that the speedo beeps at you if you exceed it
I set mine at 150. Beeps all the time
Oil is the level check
Not sure about the others
Should say in the manual
Looneybin is correct.
The green-lit symbol is on because the on/off button-switch at the end of the
lower-right lever
on the steering column is pushed on and the car's speed-limiting cruise-control system is active even though the car is idling in neutral (the lever is dedicated to the car's "cruise-control" a.k.a. "speed-limiter")
Photo shows car's OnBoard Computer menu, navigable with the OnBoard Computer lever which is the
lower-left lever
on the steering column.
"BC" abbreviates Board Computer (also known as OnBoard Computer)
All its features and functions are explained in the Owner's Manual booklet.
Thanks guys. I was looking at this car and the seller has no manual. The internet search didn't show these either. Does check oil mean check oil as in, the oil is low and needs to be checked you dummy, or what? This seller announced that he never does anything to the car himself. He just takes it to the dealer...
Nice car though the guy doesn't drive it. Dang.
there are PDF's of the manual available on-line
check oil is an onboard way of checking the oil level in the crankcase without using the dipstick (997's don't even have a dipstick anymore)
you can scroll thru the options with the lower left lever, then pull it towards you to select
Thanks Looney,
Does that mean that check oil is a menu option and I can pull the lever and it will display the oil level? Cool. Do you trust it? The older cars have level gauges but you can't believe them. Gotta grab the actual dipstick.
