Information
In some cases, fuels contain a high percentage of
sulfur. Under certain driving conditions, combustion
in the engine can lead to unpleasant smells ("rotten
egg smell"). Porsche is not responsible for this partic-
ularity and it does not indicate a defect in the vehicle.
The fuel level is displayed in the instrument cluster
when the ignition is switched on.
g Refer to chapter "Instrument Panel" on page 101.
If the residual quantity falls below a model-depend-
ent level, the warning lamp lights up in the multifunc-
tion display of the instrument panel when the ignition
is switched on or the engine is running.
e
Refuel at the next opportunity.
g Refer to chapter "Filling quantities" on page 252.

Unsuitable fuels may damage the engine as well as
the fuel and exhaust system.
