Emission Control System
In the interest of clean air
Pollution of our environment has become a problem
that is of increasing concern to all of us. We
urge you to join us in our efforts for cleaner air in
controlling the pollutants emitted from the automobile.
Porsche has developed an emission control system
that controls or reduces those parts of the
emission that can be harmful to our environment.
Your Porsche is equipped with such a system.
Porsche warrants the Emission Control System in
your new car under the terms and conditions set
forth in the Warranty Booklet.
You, as the owner of the vehicle, have the
responsibility to provide regular maintenance service
for the vehicle and to keep a record of all maintenance
work performed. To facilitate record
keeping, have the service performed by authorized
Porsche dealers. They have Porsche trained
technicians and special tools to provide fast and
efficient service.
