described in this manual.
Should you have difficulty understanding any of
the explanations of features or equipment installed
in your vehicle, contact your authorized Porsche
dealer. He/She will be glad to assist you. Also
check with your dealer on other available options
or equipment.

4Porsche and the EnvironmentEnvironmental guidelinesWe develop and produce exclusive vehicles with
sophisticated environmental and safety techno-
logy and a great ability to fascinate.
Our environmental policy is based on the
following principles:
– The maximum possible use of environmental
and safety technology that is economically
justifiable.
– Economical usage of energy and resources.
– Involvement of our business partners and
contractors in our efforts to protect the
environment.
– Open dialogue with all social groups.California Proposition 65 Warning
Warning!
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and cer-
tain vehicle components contain or emit chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause can-
cer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and
certain products of component wear contain or
emit chemicals known to the State of Ca lifornia to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
ProductionWhether in production or repair, Porsche always
relies on environmentally friendly technology.
An example of this is the water-based paint used
in our paint shops.
Water-based paints and new painting methods
reduce solvent emissions by 70 per cent.
The water used in the paint shop is recirculated.
Waste water leaves the Porsche factory only after
being appropriately treated.
A waste-management scheme has been intro-
duced to reduce the amount of waste while
simultaneously increasing the recycling quota.

Environmentally friendly vehiclesModern environmental technology ensures compli-
ance with all emission laws applicable worldwide.
It has the following advantages:
– Rapid “operational readiness” of the catalytic
converters ensures low emissions, even in
short-trip operation.
– Reliable operation and good emission control
over a long useful life.
fPlease observe the chapter “FUEL ECONOMY”
on Page 265.
Recycling –
for a Porsche, this is virtually an
academic questionMore than two-thirds of all Porsches ever built are
still running.
But, just in case recycling is ever necessary,
we take the following precautionary
measures:
– Utilisation-friendly design.
– Identification of materials.
– Use of recyclable materials.
– Reusable components designed for simple
removal.
Emission control is built inInnovative engine technology combines high
engine performance and environmental compati-
bility.
The engine diagnosis system electronically
monitors the components and systems that affect
exhaust gases.
This continuous monitoring and fault storage
enables swift, reliable diagnosis and fault detec-
tion.
Faults are indicated to the driver by the “Emission
control” warning light and display.
fPlease observe the chapter “EMISSION CONT-
ROL” on Page 88.

6Setting and operating vehicle
components when driving
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.
Portable Fuel Containers
Danger!
Portable fuel containers, full or partially
empty, may leak, causing an explosion, or
result in fire in case of an accident.
fNever carry additional fuel in portable contain-ers in your vehicle.
Engine Exhaust
Danger!
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled.
Engine exhaust fumes have many compo-
nents which you can smell. They also contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless
and odorless gas.
Carbon monoxide can cause unconscious-
ness and even death if inhaled.
fNever start or let the engine run in an en-
closed, unventilated area.
It is not recommended to sit in your car for pro-
longed periods with the engine on and the car not moving.
Page 8 of 387
8Fuel QualityYour engine is designed to provide optimum performance and fuel economy using
unleaded premium fuel with an octane rating of 98 RON (93 CLC or AKI).
Porsche therefore recommends the use of these fuels in your vehicle.
Porsche also recognizes that these fuels may not always be available. Be assured that your vehicle will operate
properly on unleaded premium fuels with octane numbers of at least 95 RON (90 CLC or AKI),
since the engine's “Electronic Oktane™ knock control“ will adapt the ignition timing, if necessary.Fuels containing alcohol and etherSome areas of the U.S. require oxygenated fuels during certain portions of the year.
Oxygenated fuels are fuels which contain alcohols (such as methanol or ethanol) or ether (such as MTBE).
Under normal conditions, the amount of these compounds in the fuel will not affect driveability.
You may use oxygenated fuels in your Porsche, provided the octane requirements for your vehicle are met.
We recommend, however, to change to a different fuel or station if any of the following problems occur with your vehicle:
– Deterioration of driveability and performance.
– Substantially reduced fuel economy.
– Vapor lock and non-start problems, especially at high altitude or at high temperature.
– Engine malfunction or stalling.Fuels containing MMTSome North American fuels contain an octane enhancing additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
If such fuels are used, your emission control system performance may be negatively affected.
The check engine warning lights on your instrument panel may turn on.
If this occurs, Porsche recommends you stop using fuels containing MMT.
