ers and must use
UNLEADED FUELONLY.

Your engine isdesigned toprovide optimum per-
formance andfuel economy usingunleaded premi-
um fuel with anoctane ratingof
98 RON
(93 CLC orAKI).
Porsche therefore recom-
mends theuse ofthese fuelsinyour vehicle.

The useofUNLEADED FUELONLY is
critically important tothe lifeofthe catalytic
converters. Depositsfromleaded fuelswill
ruin theconverters andmake itineffective as
an emission controldevice.

Cars withcatalytic converters haveasmaller fuel
tank opening, andgas station pumps havesmaller
nozzles. Thiswillprevent accidental pumpingof
leaded fuelintocars withcatalytic converters.
