Information
In some cases, fuels have a high sulfur content. As a
result, under certain driving conditions, combustion
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.
When the ignition is on, the fuel level is displayed on
the instrument cluster.
If a model-dependent remaining quantity is not
reached, a warning message will appear on the in-
strument cluster.
e Refuel at the next opportunity.
