Central warning light system

 

This electronic warning system monitors the most important functions of your Porsche for increased safety and reliability of performance.  Should a problem arise, the central warning system will inform you immediately.

 

The central warning light is located in the top center of the instrument cluster.  The individual warning lights are divided between the two combination instruments.

 

When the ignition is turned on, the central warning light and all individual warning lights will light up for a bulb check.  If the engine oil level is too low, the central warning light will flash.  (Lack of engine oil can, in comparison with all other functions, only be checked with the engine turned off, and with the vehicle on level ground.)  As soon as the engine is started, the lights should go out.  The STOP LAMP light will go out after the brake pedal has been depressed.  The PARK BRAKE light will go out as soon as the parking brake lever is fully released.  The central warning light system monitors toothed belt tension approx. 3 minutes after the engine has been started.

 

Should a problem arise, the central warning light will light up or flash, together with the respective individual warning light.

 

The control function of the central warning light system is divided into two major groups:

 

Group “A”

- engine oil pressure

 

- engine oil level

 

- brake circuit (pressure) failure

 

- brake fluid level

 

Any of these malfunctions reported by the system must be corrected immediately.

 

 

 

Group “B”

- brake wear (pads) indicator

 

- parking brake

 

- coolant level

 

- coolant temperature

 

- fuel reserve level

 

- windshield and headlight washer fluid level

 

- stop lamps

 

- tail lamps

 

- toothed belt tensioning

 

Any group “B” malfunction reported by the system should be corrected as soon as possible.

 

 

Reset button

 

By pressing this button, you can turn off the central warning light for group “B” related problems.  The individual warning light in the respective combination instrument will remain on as a reminder to have the fault corrected.

 

The reset button does not apply to group “A” related problems.  Both central and individual warning lights will continue to flash because an immediate remedy of the problem is necessary.

 

 

 

 

Central door locking button

 

With the ignition key in Pos. “1” or “2” both doors can be locked or unlocked by pressing the central locking button.

 

See “Central door locking system”.
