side the multi-purpose display in the instrument
panel.
Oil Temperature Gauge

Controls, Safety, Instruments
73
Temperature gaugePointer below 176°F (80°C) – engine cold
fAvoid high engine speeds and heavy engine
loading.
Pointer between 176°F (80°C) and 212°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 240.
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 240.
Caution!
Risk of engine damage.
fDo not continue driving if the warning persists
even when the engine coolant level is correct.

fPlease observe the chapter “CAPACITIES” on
Page 351.
If the vehicle's inclination changes (e.g. going up-
hill/downhill), minor deviations in the indication
may occur.
Fuel reserve warningWhen the engine is running, the warning light on
the multi-purpose display of the instrument panel
lights up if less than 3 gallons (12 litres) of fuel re-
mains in the tank or the range on remaining fuel
falls below approx. 30 miles (50 km).
fFill up at the next opportunity.
Caution!
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.
fPlease observe the chapter “HOW EMISSION
CONTROL WORKS” on Page 255.

OdometerOdometerThe odometer is located on the multi-purpose
display in the instrument panel.
The left display counts the total mileage, the right
display counts the short trips.
After exceeding 6213 miles (9999 kilometers),
the short trip counter returns to 0.Resetting the short trip counter to “0”fPress button A for approx. 1 second.
Enginge Boost PressureEngine Boost PressureAs the engine is equipped with a boost pressure
control feature, the boost pressure is variable.
The boost pressure depends on the speed,
ambient pressure and on the octane rating of the
fuel used.

Controls, Safety, Instruments
Emission ControlThe emission control system detects malfunctions
early that could, for example, cause increased pol-
lutant emissions or consequential damage.
Faults are indicated by the warning light in the in-
strument panel by being continuously lit or flash-
ing.
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 lamp check
and goes out approx. 4 seconds after the engine
starts.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.
The warning light in the instrument panel is lit
continuously after the critical range is left.
fIn order to avoid consequential damage to the
engine or emission control system (e.g. cata-
lytic converter) go immediately to the nearest
authorized Porsche dealer to have the fault
diagnosed and rectified.
Caution!
Risk of damage. If the warning light in the in-
strument panel continues flashing even when
you have eased off the accelerator pedal,
the emission control system may overheat.
fStop as soon as possible in a safe place.
Make sure that combustible materials, such as
dry grass or leaves, cannot come into contact
with the hot exhaust system.
fSwitch off the engine.
fContact your nearest authorized Porsche deal-er to have the fault rectified.

Battery/generatorA 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.

Warning!
There is a danger of accident if you set or
operate the on-board computer, radio, navi-
gation system, telephone or other equipment
when driving.
This could distract you from the traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
fOperate the components while driving only if
the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
It is not possible to describe all details of the
functions in this Owner's Manual.
The examples clearly demonstrate the functional
principle and clarify the menu structure.
As a rule, you can use the menu items:

General informationRange on remaining fuel
The range on remaining fuel is continuously
recomputed while driving based on fuel level,
current consumption and average consumption.
Average speed
The displayed values are based on the distance
travelled since the last reset to “zero”.
Note on operation
Switching the ignition off does not reset the
measurements. Values can thus be collected over
long periods. Disconnecting the vehicle battery
clears the memories.
Further on-board computer functions can be dis-
played in the PCM.
Please follow the separate operating instructions
for PCM.
