Brake wearYour car has excellent brakes, but they are still
subject to wear. The rate at which they wear de-
pends on how the brakes are used.
fHave the brake system inspected at the inter-
vals recommended in your Maintenance Book-
let.
The warning light in the instrument panel lights up.
A message will be displayed on the multi-purpose
display of the instrument panel if the brake pads
are worn, excessively.
fDo not continue to operate the vehicle.
Have your authorized Porsche dealer inspect
or replace the brake pads.
fPlease observe the chapter “WARNING LIGHTS
AND WARNING MESSAGES” on Page 108.
Brake pads and brake discsWear on the brake pads and brake discs depends
to a great extent on the driving style and the con-
ditions of use and therefore cannot be expressed
in actual miles on the road.
The high-performance brake system is designed
for optimal braking effect at all speeds and tem-
peratures.
Certain speeds, braking forces and ambient con-
ditions (such as temperature and humidity) there-
fore might cause the brakes to squeal.New brake pads or linings
New brake pads have to be “broken in“, and there-
fore only attain optimal friction when the car has
covered several hundred miles or km.
The slightly reduced braking ability must be com-
pensated for by pressing the brake pedal harder.
This also applies whenever the brake pads and
brake discs are replaced.

Controls, Safety, Instruments A warning message will appear on the multi-pur-
pose display of the instrument panel if the engine
oil temperature is too high.
fReduce speed and engine load immediately if
the red zone is reached.
TachometerThe start of the red zone on the tachometer scale
is a visual warning of the maximum permissible en-
gine speed.
If the red zone is reached during acceleration, fuel
feed is interrupted in order to protect the engine.

Temperature gaugePointer below 180°F (80°C) – engine cold
fAvoid high engine speeds and heavy engine
loading.
Pointer between 180°F (80°C) and 260°F
(100°C) – normal operating temperature
Pointer may move up to the red area when engine
is heavily loaded and outside temperature is high.
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.
fCheck radiator and air passages in front end of
car for obstructions.
fCheck coolant level.
Add coolant if necessary.
Please have the fault remedied at an autho-
rized Porsche dealer.
fPlease observe the chapter “COOLANT LEVEL”
on Page 249.
Note on operation
To prevent excessive temperatures, the cooling
air guides must not be restricted by covers
(e.g. films, “stone guards”).
Engine coolant level warningA warning message will appear on the multi-pur-
pose display of the instrument panel if the engine
coolant level is too low.
fSwitch engine off and let it cool.
fTop up coolant.
Please have the cause of the fault remedied at
an authorized Porsche dealer.
fPlease observe the chapter “COOLANT LEVEL”
on Page 249.
Caution!
Risk of engine damage.

Controls, Safety, Instruments The voltmeter indicates the battery 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-pur-
pose display of the instrument panel if the voltage
drops significantly.
fStop in a safe place and switch off the engine.
Possible causes
– Defect in the battery charging system
– Broken drive belt
Warning!
Risk of accident and risk of engine damage.
A broken drive belt means there is no power
assistance to the steering (more effort is re-
quired 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 journey in the water if the drive belt
slips.
fIf the steering assistance fails, more effort will be required to steer.
