In some cases, fuels have a high sulfur content. As a

in the engine can lead to output of unpleasant odors
(known as the "odor of rotten eggs"). Porsche is not
responsible for this circumstance and it does not
indicate a vehicle fault.
The contents of the tank are displayed on the instru-
ment panel when the ignition is switched on.
f Please see chapter „J – Fuel gauge" on page 115.
If an amount less than the model-dependent residual
quantity remains in the fuel tank, the
light on the multifunction display in the instrument
panel lights up when the ignition is switched on or the
