Controls, Safety, Instruments
Dear Porsche OwnerA lot has gone into the manufacture of your
Porsche, including advanced engineering, rigid
quality control and demanding inspections. These
engineering and safety features will be enhanced
by you...the safe driver...– who knows his car and all controls,
– who maintains the vehicle properly,
– who uses driving skills wisely and always
drives within her/his own capabilities and the
level of familiarity with the vehicle.
You will find helpful hints in this manual on how to
perform most of the checks listed on the following
pages. If in doubt, have these checks performed
by your authorized Porsche dealer.

fSee that wheel bolts are properly tightened
and not loose or missing.

Danger!
Risk of poisoning. Exhaust gas contains
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide
(CO), which is toxic even in low concentra-
tion. Carbon monoxide can cause uncon-
sciousness and even death if inhaled.
fNever start or let the engine run in an en-
closed, unventilated area. It is not recommend-
ed to sit in your car for prolonged periods with
the engine on and the car not moving.
An unattended vehicle with a running engine
is potentially hazardous. If warning lights
should come on to indicate improper opera-
tion, they would go unnoticed.
fNever leave the engine idling unattended.Danger of fire.
fDo not drive or park your car where combusti-
ble materials, such as dry grass or leaves,
can come into contact with the hot exhaust
system.
fIf your car catches on fire for any reason, call
the fire department. Do not endanger your life
by attempting to put out the fire.

engine has reached operating temperature.fIf battery output is insufficient, jump leads can
be used to start the engine.
Please observe the chapter “EMERGENCY
STARTING WITH JUMPER CABLES” on
Page 343.
Note on operation
To ensure a good charge condition for the battery
and thus its ability to start the engine, all electrical
accessories which are not required should be
switched off when the ignition is switched on and
when engine revolutions are low (in stop and go
traffic).

in the luggage compartment, you have the possi-
bility of starting the engine with the ignition key,
even if the main battery fails.

from the ignition lock.
Please observe the chapter “REMOVING THE
CONTROL UNIT FROM THE IGNITION LOCK” on

assistance to the steering (more effort is re-
quired to steer) and engine cooling fails.

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.
