Emission Control System
In the interest of clean air
Pollution of our environment has become a
problem that is of increasing concern to all of
us. We urge you to join us in our efforts for cleaner
air in controlling the pollutants emitted from the
automobile.
Porsche has developed an emission control
system that controls or reduces those parts of the
emission that can be harmful to our environment.
Your Porsche is equipped with such a system.
Porsche warrants the Emission Control System in
your new car under the terms and conditions set
forth in the Warranty Booklet.
You, as the owner of the vehicle, have the respon-
sibility to provide regular maintenance service for
the vehicle and to keep a record of all maintenance
work performed. To facilitate record keeping, have
the service performed by authorized Porsche deal-
ers. They have Porsche trained technicians and
special tools to provide fast and efficient service.
To assure efcient operation of the
Emission Control System:
Have your vehicle maintained properly and
in accordance with the recommendations
described in your Maintenance Booklet. Lack
of proper maintenance, as well as improper
use of the vehicle, will impair the function of
the emission control system and could lead to
damage.
Do not alter or remove any component of the
emission control system.
Do not alter or remove any device, such as
heat shields, switches, ignition wires, valves,
etc., which are designed to protect your
vehicle’s emission control system. In addition
to serious engine damage, this can result in
a fire if excess raw fuel reaches the exhaust
system.
Do not continue to operate your vehicle if
you detect engine misfire or other unusual
operating conditions.
Parking
Warning!
Danger of re resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
Do not park or operate the vehicle in areas
where the hot exhaust system may come in
contact with dry grass, brush, fuel spill or
other flammable material.
If your car catches on fire for any reason, call
the fire department. Do not endanger your life
by attempting to put out the fire.
Undercoating
Danger!
Danger of re resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
Do not apply additional undercoating or
rust-proofing on or near the exhaust manifold,
exhaust pipes, catalytic converters or heat
shields. During driving the substance used for
undercoating could overheat and ignite.
