Passenger screen access to car manual?

[smoothound]

Hi Folks - I think the answer is no!...... cos I can't find any reference to this...

Can you access the car manual on the passenger display screen? .... Or a search/help function in it to learn about the vehicle?

cheers

I don't believe you can and if you could the car would have to be stationary.

Check the Porsche Good To Know App or indeed the digital manual in the car.

Thanks I suspected as much - but why stationary for a passenger to read the manual?

Because you can also see the screen. Same rules apply for the central display.

Now I am confused, So the central screen and the passenger screen (even with a passenger) are only ever visible when stationary then?

I didn't even know the manual was available in the car... (where?) The Passenger screen has several options - summary below of Icons you can click on my passenger screen (regardless of movement or not). But obviously no video media payable when moving.

No ‘Manual’ on my screen. Driver or passenger.

I found my manual by clicking on the i (Instructions) icon. Chapter Overview.
US vehicle.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the photo of your dash. I don’t have the manual or instructions icon.
it could be this is new to latest PCM 6 update.
Whilst I have coloured icons mine was the first iteration of the PCM 6 with coloured icons added on builds after Feb 17th (or something around that date). Not been updated since then.

I did the PCM update on my 2020 last month so maybe that is why.

Hmm, back to the dealer as you are missing some fundamental software!

It's not new and has been there since launch (2019).
