Check Engine Warning Light

The warning light in the instrument panel comes on

when the ignition is first turned on and remains on

briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not come

on, have the bulb replaced promptly.
If the warning lights in the instrument panel and

on-board computer come on and remain on while

driving, it suggests:

a potential engine control problem and the

need for system service or

an improperly fastened tank cap or

refueling with engine running.
Please observe the chapter ”WARNINGS

ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE

ON-BOARD COMPUTER” on page 143.

Although the vehicle is usually driveable and will not

require towing, see your dealer for service as soon

as possible.

Caution!

If the Check engine light in the instrument

panel is ashing, severe catalytic converter

damage and power loss will soon occur.

Prolonged driving with the Check engine

light on could cause damage to the emission

control system. It also could affect fuel

economy and driveability.

Have the fault remedied at the nearest

authorized Porsche dealer immediately.
