How do I operate the instrument cluster in the Cayenne Electric?

The Cayenne Electric features a fully digital instrument cluster with a freestanding curved display using OLED technology. It replaces traditional round instruments with a modern, individually configurable display in Porsche’s characteristic tube design. 

The layout is consistently driver-focused and adapts to the selected driving mode, active driver assistance systems, as well as the use of navigation and media. Clear graphics, high contrast and smooth animations support quick recognition of all relevant information while driving.
