Central Warning Light
When the ignition is switched on, the central
warning light in the instrument cluster and the
individual warning lights come on to indicate that
they are operative. In the event of a malfunction,
the central warning light will come on accompa-
nied by the relevant individual warning light. The
car should be taken immediately to the nearest
Official Porsche Centre.
¢ ¢ Indicator pilot light
The indicator pilot light flashes at the same fre-
quency as the direction indicators themselves.
Should one of the direction indicators fail, the
frequency is noticeably quicker.

Coolant Temperature
-:::!":::-Gauge
Lower range - engine cold
Avoid overrewing or labouring the engine.
Middle range - normal
The temperature gauge needle should normally
stay in this range. When engine load is high, it is
not unusual for the needle to move towards the
upper range, but it should return to the middle
range when the load on the engine is reduced.
Upper range - warning
If the needle moves into the upper range in very
hot weather or when the strain on the engine is
high, then the engine is being overloaded and
the warning light comes on.
Warning Ligbt
If the warning light comes on, check that the
fans are working. If they are not, the power sup-
ply to the fan control is defective.
Allow the engine to cool down and drive to the
nearest Official Porsche Centre, keeping a con-
stant check on the temperature gauge. Avoid id-
ling, crawling and engine speeds over 4000
rpm. Note the contents of the chapter "Cooling
System".
