A shortage of fuel may cause damage to the
emission control system.
fNever drive the tank dry.
fIf the warning lights have come on, do not take turns at high speed.
fFor further information on the emission control
system:
Please see the chapter “HOW EMISSION
CONTROL WORKS” on Page 264.

J - OdometerThe displays for the total mileage and individual
trips are located in the analog speedometer.
The upper display counts the total mileage, the
lower display counts the short trips.
After exceeding 6213 miles (9999 kilometers),
the short trip counter returns to 0.Resetting the short trip counter to “O”fPress button H for approx. 1 secondThe voltmeter indicates the vehicle electrical
system voltage.
Normal range: 12 to 16 volts.
The voltage may drop considerably when the
vehicle is being started.
If the indicator is continually below 12 volts
when the engine is running:
fPlease have the battery charging system
checked at an authorized Porsche dealer.
Battery/alternatorA warning message will appear on the multi-purpo-
se display of the instrument panel if the voltage
drops significantly.
fStop in a safe place and switch off the engine.
fFor information on the warning message on

WARNING MESSAGES” on Page 149.Possible causes
– Defect in the battery charging system
– Broken drive belt
Warning!
Risk of engine damage with resultant loss of
control and accident, leading to serious
personal injury or death.
A broken drive belt means there is no power
assistance to the steering (more effort is
required to steer) and engine cooling fails.
fDo not continue driving.
fHave the fault remedied at your nearest autho-
rized Porsche dealer.
Danger of steering assistance failing during
a long trip in the water if the drive belt slips.
fIf the steering assistance fails, more effort will be required to steer.

load is reduced.Engine coolant temperature warningA warning message will appear on the multi-pur-
pose display of the instrument panel if the engine
coolant temperature is too high.
fSwitch engine off and let it cool.

Multi-Purpose Display and Instruments

Emission ControlThe emission control system detects malfunctions
early that could, for example, cause increased
pollutant emissions or consequential damage.
Faults are indicated by a continuously lit or
flashing instrument panel warning light.
The faults are recorded in the control unit's fault
memory.
The warning light in the instrument panel lights up
when the ignition is switched on as a bulb check
and goes out approx. 4 seconds after the engine
starts. If the warning light does not light up, have
the bulb replaced promptly.The warning light in the instrument panel flashes to
indicate operating states (e.g. engine misfiring)
which might cause damage to certain parts of the
emission control system.
fIn this case, immediately reduce the engine
load by easing off the accelerator.
fIn order to avoid consequential damage to the
engine or emission control system (e.g. cata-
lytic converter), have the fault diagnosed and
rectified immediately at the nearest authorized
Porsche dealer.
If the warning light in the instrument panel lights up
permanently without flashing before and remains
on while driving, it suggests:
– a potential engine control problem and the
need for system service or
– an improperly fastened tank cap or
– the vehicle was refueled while the engine was
running.
fStop immediately at a suitable and secure
place and check tank cap for proper fastening.
If tank cap was fastened correctly, see your
authorized Porsche dealer for service as soon
as possible.
Caution!
If the check engine warning light in the in-
strument panel is flashing, serious catalytic
converter damage and power loss will soon
occur.
Prolonged driving with the check engine
warning light on could cause damage to the
emission control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and driveability.
fHave the fault remedied at the nearest authorized Porsche dealer immediately.
