Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
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).

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.

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?
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.
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.
