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 .

nearest Official Porsche Centre, keeping a con-
stant check on the temperature gauge. Avoid id-
ling , crawling and engine speeds over 4000
