226 Maintenance and Car Care
Undercoating
Additional undercoating or rust protection agents on or near the exhaust system can become too hot when driving and ignite, causing a fire.fDo not apply additional undercoating or rust protection agent on or near the exhaust manifolds, exhaust pipes, catalytic converters or heat shields. During driving the substance used for undercoating could overheat and ignite.
How Emission Control Works
When an automobile engine is running, it uses energy generated through the combustion of a mixture of air and fuel. Depending on whether a car is driven fast or slowly or whether the engine is cold or hot, some of the fuel (hydrocarbons) may not be burned completely, but may be discharged into the engine crankcase or exhaust system. Additional hydrocarbons may enter the atmosphere through evaporation of fuel from the fuel tank. These hydrocarbons (HC), when released into the air, contribute to undesirable pollution.
In addition, carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) contribute to engine emissions. They, too, are formed during the combustion process and discharged into the exhaust system.
To reduce these pollutants, your Porsche is equipped with a precisely calibrated fuel injection system to assure a finely balanced air/fuel mixture under all operating conditions.
Oxygen sensor
The oxygen sensor, installed in the exhaust pipe continuously senses the oxygen content of the exhaust and signals the information to an electronic control unit. The control unit corrects the air/fuel ratio, so the engine always receives an accurately metered air/fuel mixture.
Crankcase ventilation
Through crankcase ventilation, undesirable emissions from the engine crankcase are not permitted to reach the outside atmosphere. These emissions are recirculated from the crankcase to the air intake system. From here the emissions mix with the intake air and are later burned in the engine.
Catalytic converters
The catalytic converters are efficient “clean-up” devices built into the exhaust system of the vehicle. The catalytic converters burn the undesirable pollutants in the exhaust gas before it is released into the atmosphere.
The exclusive use of unleaded fuel is critically important for the life of the catalytic converters. Therefore, only unleaded fuel must be used.
The catalytic converters will be damaged by:
– Push or tow starting the vehicle, – Misfiring of the engine,– Turning off the ignition while the vehicle is moving,– Driving until the fuel tank is completely empty,– By other unusual operating conditions.fDo not continue to operate your vehicle under these conditions, since raw fuel might reach the catalytic converters. This could result in overheating of the converters. Federal law prohibits use of leaded fuel in this car.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy will vary depending on where, when and how you drive, optional equipment installed, and the general condition of your car. A car tuned to specifications and correctly maintained, will help you to achieve optimal fuel economy.fHave your vehicle tuned to specifications. Air cleaner should be dirt free to allow proper engine “breathing”.Battery should be fully charged.Wheels should be properly aligned.Tires should be inflated to the correct pressure.
