The memory buttons also save the external mirror positions, so you can set them up for each driver once and then have quick access to perfect seat+mirror position. Furthermore, the first memory setting is connected to which of the two keys you used to unlock the car. For example, on my girlfriends 997, we programmed my seat+mirror position on Memory1 for the spare key. Whenever I drive it, I will use the spare key to unlock the car and the seat+mirror will be in the right position for me when I get in.

Good tips you brought up, although I already knew all of them. More important, the oil level indicated was NOT low. It is very harmful for these cars to overfill them. The area between the top and bottom of that measurement is approximately 1 quart, so when it gets to he very bottom of the scale, it is only a maximum of 1 quart low, but with the boxer engine, slightly low is better than slightly high. On a seperate note, you can clean up those awful looking scuff marks on the black plastic entry sills with a Magic Eraser and a little water. Will make them look like new in 10 seconds! Beautiful car!

Oil wise I measure mine stone cold after being left on a level surface. I then add 200mL at a time, cycle the key (without ever starting the car) and check until it reaches the top. The measuring routine will pick up the added oil straight away. Then drive it for a few days and recheck.

I think if u double tap up on the window it goes all the way up ik it’s not 1 touch but still better then holding it the whole time lol

Nothing new to a 997 owner. Also, keep in mind that when you have two keys to this car, you can set up seating and mirror memory to two different drivers. As soon as you put the key in the ignition switch, things move around to that driver's positions.

#3 makes no sense at all, you cannot disengage awd setups, plus the handbrake is cable driven. If they wanted that to be a feature they would have made a button for it.
