Recycling
-for aPorsche, thisisvirtually
an academic question

More thantwo-thirds ofall Porsches everbuiltare
still running.

Just incase recycling isever necessary, we
take thefollowing precautionary measures:

- Identification ofall materials.
- Use ofrecyclable materials.
- Reusable components designedforsimple
removal.
- These reasons resultinafurther increase in
the recycling ratewhich iscurrently 80per
cent.

Range onremaining fuel

The range onremaining fueliscontinuously re-
computed whiledriving basedonfuel level, cur-
rent consumption andaverage consumption.
The more thefuel level falls, themore spontane-
ously thedisplay reacts.Forthis reason, rangeon
remaining fuelisnot displayed ifless than 15kilo-
meters (9miles).

If
the vehicle's inclination changeswhiledriving or
refuelling, incorrectrangeinformation maytempo-
rarily begiven.

Note

If the tank isnearly empty andyou add only asmall
quantity offuel, thiscannot beused tocalculate
the range onremaining fuel.
