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.

Setting Tire Pressure Monitoring
Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death.
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure
increases risk of a tire failure and resulting
loss of control. Furthermore, low tire
pressure increases rate of wear of the
affected tires.
Despite the advantages offered by Tire
Pressure Monitoring, it is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is still the
driver’s responsibility to update the settings
in the multi-purpose display and maintain the
correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of Tire Pressure Monitoring low tire
pressure message. Low tire pressure
reduces the road safety of the vehicle and
destroys the tire and wheel.
fWhen a flat tire has been displayed, immedi-
ately stop in a suitable place and check the
tires for damage. If necessary, remedy the damage with tire sealant or fit the spare wheel.
fDo not by any means continue to drive with
leaking tires.
fSealing the tire with the tire sealant is only an
emergency repair so you can drive to the next
authorized Porsche dealer.
The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h).
fDefective tires must be immediately replaced
by an authorized Porsche dealer.
Tire repairs are not permissible under any
circumstances.
fDo not drive with tires whose tire pressure
drops again in a short period of time. Have
tires checked by an authorized Porsche dealer.
fIf Tire Pressure Monitoring is defective (e.g.
defective wheel transmitters), contact an
authorized Porsche dealer immediately and
have the damage repaired.
The tire pressure will not be monitored by
defective Tire Pressure Monitoring.
For information on warning messages on the
multi-purpose display: Please see the chapter
“OVERVIEW OF WARNING MESSAGES” on
Page 149.
fTire Pressure Monitoring gives a warning about
tire damage due to insufficient tire pressure as
well as about a gradual loss of pressure due to
foreign objects. Tire Pressure Monitoring
cannot warn you about tire damage that
occurs suddenly (e.g. flat tire due to acute
external effects).

fIf a tire pressure message is displayed, correct
the tire pressure at the next opportunity.
fIncomplete entries or selection of the wrong
tires on the multi-purpose display affect
correct indication of warnings and messages.
The settings in the TYRE PRESSURE menu
must be updated after wheel changes, use of
a spare wheel or changes in vehicle loading.
fUse only the pressure differences shown in the
TYRE PRESSURE menu or from tire pressure
messages or warnings when correcting the
tire pressure.
fTires lose air over time without a tire defect
being present. A tire pressure warning will then
appear on the multi-purpose display.
Correct tire pressure.
Functional description of Tire Pressure
MonitoringTire Pressure Monitoring continuously monitors
tire pressure and tire temperature on all four
wheels and warns the driver when the tire
pressure is too low.The display as well as the settings for Tire
Pressure Monitoring take place on the multi-
purpose display in the sub-menu
TYRE PRESSURE.
However, the tire pressure must still be set
manually on the wheel.
The deviations in the tire pressures from the
required pressures are shown in the sub-menu
TYRE PRESSURE.
Example:
If the tire pressure display shows “–4 psi
(–0.3 bar)”, you must increase the tire pressure by
4 psi (0.3 bar).
The tire pressures to be monitored are fixed in the
Tire Pressure Monitoring system and cannot be
changed.
The following settings must be made to permit
correct monitoring.
–Tires
Select the type and size of the tires fitted on
the vehicle.
–Load
Select the type of loading.
Note on operation
Settings can be made only when the vehicle is
stationary.
fFor information on tires and wheels:
Please see the chapter “TIRES/WHEELS” on
Page 281.
Warning!
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPM
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system
is not operating properly.
The TPM malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.
TPM malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPM from functioning properly.
Always check the TPM malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPM to continue to
function properly.Warning light

injury or death.
Moreover, Porsche recommends obeying all
traffic laws at all times to maintain the safety of yourself and all vehicle occupants.
The speed code letter indicates the maximum
permissible speed for the tire.
fThis letter appears on the tire sidewall:

“Flat tyre” warningThe warning threshold for output of this warning
message is speed-dependent.
At a speed of below 100 mph (160 km/h), this
warning indicates a pressure loss of at least 7 psi
(0.5 bar); at a speed of above 100 mph
(160 km/h), the warning indicates a pressure loss
of at least 6 psi (0.4 bar). The message indicates
the wheel in which the pressure loss has been
detected. The deviation from the required
pressure is displayed for the corresponding
wheel. The tire pressure warning light on the
speedometer lights up in addition to the warning
message. This significant pressure loss is a
danger to road safety.
fThe warning message can be acknowledged
while driving.
To do this, press the ENTER button on the
wiper stalk. The tire pressure warning light on
the speedometer remains lit.
The measure display SELECTION AFTER
