Pedal - Porsche 92854 Owner's Manual

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 indivi-
dual 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
40
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 de-
pressed. 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 min-
utes after the engine has been started.
Should a problem arise, the central warning
l i g h t will l i g h t up or flash, t o g e t h e r with the re-
spective 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 pos-
sible.
