Multi-Purpose Display and Instruments
123
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.

Displaying/resetting average
speed
Displaying range on remaining fuelThe range on remaining fuel is continuously
recomputed while driving based on fuel level,
current consumption and average consumption.
Displaying tire pressureThis display is available only in conjunction with the
Tire Pressure Monitoring option.
The current tire pressures at the actually present
levels are displayed in the “Tyre pressure” screen
of the on-board computer. These values would be
identical to those of a pressure gage connected to
the four valves. These pressures change while the
vehicle is being driven.
– The tire pressures increase as the temperature
in the tires rises, e.g. during high-speed
motorway driving.
– The tire pressures decrease as the tempera-
tures drop, e.g. during trips in cold regions
(such as mountains).
The values displayed therefore do not allow
conclusions to be drawn about possible pressure
deviations.
fIn order to display pressure deviations from
the prescribed pressure, select the menu item
TYRE PRESS. in the MAIN MENU.
