If it is the coolant warning light, it may be nothing (like you are on the track doing hot laps and the level in the resevoir keeps changing a little as you go around sharp corners).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey everyone can someone tell me what is the purpose of that green light which appears on your dash next to the tach. It activates when pressed in on the bottom right stalk of the steering column, what the heck does that option do? Is it part of the cruise control or something else?

POST 2Original post

I haven't banned anyone in a while.... just sayin and yes, it's Cruise control. The question of questions here on the 996 forum!! we have a winner!

POST 3Original post

Wait Marc, I'll get this one. Yes it is actually something else. Once you reach the top speed of the vehicle the light will go green and it will keep you from going any faster. Keep the button in all the time, that way you'll never get anywhere near that speed.

POST 5Original post

Give me strength! Honestly, I didn't think that there was more than one of these in the world, then suddenly Phil is having a Christmas party!

POST 6Original post

The funny thing is, it's happened to all of us at one time or another. It's just a matter of for how long it baffled us...

That's a good one Mark.

POST 8Original post

So I shouldn't make that joke about it being the IMS warning light again?

POST 10Original post

I was going to mention Phil, but two people beat me to it!

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok very funny good one Mark! I have the Manual and read it guys its been a while since I review it. Btw who is Phil?

POST 12Original post

I miss Phil. Has anyone heard from him lately?

POST 13Original post

I'm sure Phil never turned on his cruise control in the driveway...

I stay in touch with him, although, I'll admit I'm overdue for an email.

Audi TT - he loves and drives it like crazy, but still babies it like the C4S.

POST 17Original post

Airrik, Hey, quite a few of the guys hacking at you here have done the same thing. Long before this Forum ever existed, I drove my (then) brand new 996 away from the dealership, saw the green light, and called the service department. Here is a quick Primer on dash lights: Green - Good. Nothing to worry about. Check your owners manual. White - Also good. Means your background lighting is working as designed. Yellow - Hello! Means something is waiting to happen (such as your car is about to roll dead because you are out of gas). Red - You need to look at something that isn't working correctly (unless it is your rear spoiler light - just means you haven't driven forward, yet - unless it stays on after you start driving forward). Flashing Red - Stop. Pull over and see what's wrong. Figure it out before you continue driving. If it is the coolant warning light, it may be nothing (like you are on the track doing hot laps and the level in the resevoir keeps changing a little as you go around sharp corners). Flashing Green - You left your turn signal on. Blue - Your brights are on. Flashing Blue - Stop, Pull over and see what's wrong. Ususally indicates you are about to get a ticket for speeding or running that really dark orange traffic light.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
