How do I reset the oil service light on my 2012 Porsche Panamera?

What type of engine oil does the Panamera use?
For the 2012 Panamera, use fully synthetic 0W-40 or 5W-40 oil meeting Porsche A40 specification. Approximate capacity is 8.5 liters (with filter).
How to pair a Bluetooth phone with the Porsche Communication Management (PCM)?
Activate Bluetooth on your phone. On PCM, go to 'Phone' > 'Bluetooth' > 'Search devices'. Select your phone from the list. Enter the PIN shown on the screen (default 0000) when prompted.
Where is the fuse box located?
The main fuse box is located on the driver's side, behind a panel on the side of the dashboard. Open the driver's door and remove the cover. There is also a fuse box in the engine compartment near the battery.
How to check and add coolant?
Ensure the engine is cold. Locate the coolant expansion tank (transparent plastic, near the radiator). The level should be between 'min' and 'max' marks. If low, add a 50/50 mix of distilled water and Porsche-approved coolant.
What is the recommended tire pressure?
For standard load (up to 3 occupants), the recommended pressure is 2.4 bar (35 psi) front and 2.6 bar (38 psi) rear. Check the sticker on the driver's door frame for exact values.
How do I open the fuel filler cap?
The fuel filler door is unlocked when the doors are unlocked. Press on the rear edge of the fuel filler door (driver's side rear quarter panel) to open it. The cap is unscrewed counterclockwise.
What is towing capacity?
The 2012 Panamera is not recommended for towing. Porsche advises against fitting a tow hitch. If towing is necessary, maximum braked trailer weight is 2000 kg (with optional factory hitch).
How to replace the key fob battery?
Slide the mechanical key out of the fob. Use a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the fob at the seam. Remove the old CR2032 battery and insert a new one with the positive side facing up. Snap the case closed.
How to access the secret Bluetooth menu for diagnostics?
With the ignition on, press and hold the 'Radio' button and the 'NAV' button (if equipped) simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the diagnostic menu appears. Use the volume knob to scroll. Not recommended for casual use.
