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.

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.

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.
