– if the brake-power distribution is defective.
Additionally, a warning is displayed by the on-
board computer.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE ON-

Emission Control
The emission control system detects malfunctions
early that could, for example, cause increased
pollutant emissions or consequential damage.
Faults are indicated by the warning lights on the
instrument panel and on the on-board computer
being continuously lit or flashing.
The identified faults are recorded in the control
unit's fault memory.
The warning light on 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 on the instrument panel flashes
to indicate operating states (e.g. engine misfiring)
which might cause damage to certain parts of the
emission control system. Additionally, a warning is
displayed on the on-board computer.
f In 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.
In order to avoid consequential damage to the
engine or the exhaust-gas cleaning system
(e.g. catalytic converter):
f Please drive at a moderate speed and visit a
specialist workshop. We recommend a
Porsche partner for this work as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary
parts and tools.
Caution!
Risk of damage. If the warning light in the
instrument panel continues flashing even
when you have eased off the accelerator
pedal, the emission control system may
overheat.
f Stop 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.
f
Switch off the engine.
f Please have the fault analysed and remedied
by a qualified workshop.
