I have tried several times to change some of the factory settings -
for example having the battery voltage displayed on line 4 of the MFD display,
setting the passenger mirror to not rotate down when in reverse, etc.

After I have customized the settings they are "lost" and have reverted to the factory default setting when I go to use the vehicule the next time.

What am I doing wrong?

Did you set the memory for your seats?
Or select the "Off" button before removing key?

Seat memory has been set, do you push the set button to retain the MFD settings?

What "Off" button are you refering to?

How do you set the battery voltage to be viewed?

There are so many options for the MFD that it would take too long to explain in detail and I could just say , but I'm a nice guy. If you have a multi-function wheel the menu controls are on the wheel, if not, there is a special control stalk. I assume you have a basic understanding of how to access the menus. From the owner's manual (BTW this applies to the 2011- ) 958 Cayennes:

Instrument Panel and Multi-Purpose Display 127

Adapting display contents in vehicle information area ;
You can select four of the many items of vehicle
information for display in the “Vehicle” menu and
assignment to the display areas 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Available display contents:
“Veh. voltage”, “Boost pressure”, “Oil
pressure”, “Oil temperature”, “Coolant temp.”
(coolant temperature), “Fuel range”, “Int: Trip
time” (driving time to intermediate destination),
“Int: Arrival” (arrival time at intermediate
destination), “Dst: Trip time” (driving time to
destination), “Dst: Arrival” (arrival time at
destination), “Compass” (on multi-purpose
display), “Date”, “Station/Track” (current radio
station/music track), “Phone info” (network
strength/network name), “Blank line” (field
remains blank)


1. Main menu: Select “Vehicle”
> “Settings”
> “Display”

2. “Vehicle menu” and confirm.

3. Select “1:” or
“2:” or
“3:” or
“4:”
and confirm.

4. Select the desired display contents
and confirm.

I believe you press the set button and then within 10 seconds press the number button you want to set. The setting is stored when you lock the car or press the off button. The off button is on the door with the other memory buttons. It's operation is described on Page 39 under Storing Vehicle Setings of the 2011 manual. Probably somewhere close by if you have a different year manual.

The owner's manual makes for great bathroom reading material....

Mike.

My car is a 2005 CTT. I do not believe it has these features. But since you were quick to point out that I had not looked in the manual, maybe I am wrong looks like you have a 2011.

CC03, didn't mean to be snarky about the manual thing. Yeah, the multi-function display with those features didn't make an appearance until the debut of the 958 in 2011.

No worries we are all friends here. I wish I had that feature ... seems like a good one.
