Boxster Foreword
Foreword
The workshop documentation for the Boxster model has the designation "Boxster" Technical Manual
and contains Technical Information as well as instructions on Repairs.
The integration of the technical information published in the "Boxster" Technical Manual with the
descriptive matter on repairs provides the user with a complex reference work that combines into one
book associated or cross-referenced material of relevance to workshops and originating from various
information media.
The "Boxster" Technical Manual consists of 15 folders, subdivided into the following Groups
0 Entire vehicle -General
0 Diagnosis, part 1 (up to Repair Group 45) *1
0 Diagnosis, part 2 (as of Repair Group 69) *2
1 Engine, part 1 (up to Repair Group 13) *3
1 Engine, part 2 (as of Repair Group 15) *4
*1 The two folders with Group Dare to be regarded as one folder; i.e. file the "TechnicalInformation"
notices only in front of the repair descriptions in the folder "GroupD -Diagnosis, part 1"
(up to Repair Group 45).
*2 The second folder "Group 0 -Diagnosis, part 2" (as of Repair Group 69) includes the further
Repair Groups belonging to Group O.
*3 The two folders with Group 1 are to be regarded as one folder; i.e. file the "Technical Information"
notices only in front of the repair descriptions in the folder "Group 1 -Engine, part 1" (up to
Repair Group 13).
*4 The second folder "Group 1 -Engine, part 2" (as of Repair Group 15) includes the further Repair
Groups belonging to Group 1.

*5 The two folders with Group 9 are to be regarded as one folder; i.e. file the 'Technical Information"
notices only in front of the repair descriptions in the folder "Group9 -Circuit diagrams, part 1" (up to
the '99 model).
*6
The second folder "Group9 -Circuit diagrams, part 2" (as of the '00 model) includes the further
circuit diagrams belongingto Group 9.
The "Boxster" Technical Manual has the same structure in each folder, with the following breakdown for
all Groups: I
As can be seen from the breakdown,the publishedTechnicalInformationis in the front part of each
folder -numbered according to the Groups. The Table of Contentsassignedto each Group will be
periodicallyupdated.
Note
Sheets that already exist in the "Boxster" Technical Manual and are updated or revised and thereby
exchanged by a supplement are designated "Replacement sheet". Revisions or technical modifications on
pages of these replacement sheets are identified for the user with a vertical bar at the margin.

System description
The instrumentcluster has two basic functions. It providesthe driver with informationand it also reports
faults and malfunctionsin the vehicle system.
The information includes visual display of the speed via the analog and digital speedometer,analog
display of the engine speed as well as information about the coolanttemperature and tank status. The
right digital display in the instrumentcluster showsthe time, and displaysthe engine oil level when the
ignition is switched on. In addition,a visual display showswhich gear or which transmission range the
transmission is in, and also displays cruise control readiness.
In connection with an on-boardcomputer (optional),the average speed, averageconsumption, range on
remaining fuel, outside temperature and a speed signal can be output via the ins!rumentcluster.
Messagesregarding faults or malfunctionscan be divided into acoustic and visual warning signals.
Visualwarning signals include the warning and indicator lights. These showwhether faults have occurred
related to the brake system (ABS,brake pad wear, brake fluid level, parking brake),Traction Control, the
safety of persons (airbag, seat belt), battery charging,emission control, the convertibletop and roll-over
protection system. They also give warningsfor critical fluid circumstances(tank status, coolant
temperature, washer fluid level, oil pressure).
The acoustic warning signals signalise that the key has been left in position or that the light is on although
the engine is switched off. Additionally,a speed signal can be activatedwhich emits a warning tone if a
certain speed -determined by the user -is reached or exceeded. A warning signal is also emitted if the
seat belt has not been put on yet. One other variablewarning signal can also be programmed
(e.g. warning tone for parking aid).
The warning lights go out after different interval.swhen the ignition is switched on.
The convertible top warning light goes out approx. 5 seconds after switching on the ignition. The warning
lights for brake pad wear, brake fluid level, park:ingbrake, washer fluid level, tank and temperature go out
after a further 30 seconds approximately.The warning light for the gurney flap goes out after the vehicle
movesoff. The remainingwarning lights go out after the engine is started.
