If you go to the Owner’s Manual in the My Porsche app you should see that there is an update available for downloading.

Thank you!

unrelated, does anyone else think the current owners manual/good to know (digital or physical manual) is not in-depth enough for how many functions our PCM has? I feel like our PCM deserves its own manual espc with the HUD and acc/innodrive

It is a little light yes. I would also like it to cover more car & maintenance than it currently does (both digital and paper versions).

For instance, didn’t see anything about replacing the pollen filter, nor the reference of the filter to get. But there’s a (short) blurb about brake fluid…

Maybe currently for English language only? My Norwegian Owner's Manual is still v1.0.3 - no pending update notice for now.

Does it tell you what version you've downloaded? mine is 1.02 and is not showing an update.

My US manual is now on v3.0.2.

I wonder if my old version is due to lack of updates for the 2024 Macan EV manual.

 

[PrudentOcean]

It’s entirely possible that the manuals are both country and model specific — in fact I would hope so, to account for the differences in equipment. For all I know you could get different content based on the options you spec’d, like the HUD, InnoDrive and type of charging doors.

Does anyone else with a 2025 Turbo see this version?

 

[CandianPorsche83]

I think so. I recalled on another thread different terminologies used for example

“Overrun recuperation” vs “thrust recuperation” depending on location

v4.0.3 here in Australia.

There is an entire section on Care and Maintenance

The cabin air filter, also known as the pollen filter, in a Porsche Macan (including the EV) is typically located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle. To access it, you'll need to remove a small rubber cover or panel under the glove box, revealing the filter housing.

v1.0.3 in the UK

Was there always a chapter on Online Software Update? Don't remember seeing this. Is this the PCM OTA updates we always dream about or did I miss this from the earlier version?

Yep there is, I mentioned it in my message as I read the whole thing and found it lacks substance.

Not a word about the filter whereas they do talk about brake fluids. As a basic owner, I’d change the filter before I worry about changing brake fluids.

Thanks for the details re: glove box, I’ll take a look!

The filter will be replaced as part of each service cycle so no real need to go there IMHO (they'll still charge you for the service).
