What does it mean when Porsche displays PAS restricted?
2 Answers
Porsche has a PAS sensor located at the rearview mirror position on the front windshield. If the surface of the front windshield camera is dirty or exposed to strong light, the dashboard will display PAS restricted. Here is some additional information: 1. Porsche: Porsche (also known as Porsche) is a luxury car brand under the German Volkswagen Group and a major representative of European and American cars, founded in 1931 in Stuttgart, Germany. Porsche is mainly known for manufacturing sports cars and participating in motorsports, and is one of the world's top three sports car manufacturers, alongside Italy's Ferrari and Britain's Lotus. 2. Notes: PAS is the adaptive cruise control system. If PAS restricted is displayed, there will be no active braking, and automatic light control will also be disabled. To resolve this issue, it is recommended to take the car to an authorized 4S dealership for inspection and repair.
Seeing the 'PAS Limited' warning pop up on the dashboard while driving a Porsche can definitely give you a start. PAS stands for Porsche Active Suspension, and this warning light indicates a system malfunction. I once encountered this issue on the highway—the steering wheel suddenly became heavy, like driving an old-school car, and going over speed bumps felt much rougher than usual. This situation is most likely caused by abnormal tire height data detection or a glitch in the shock absorber control unit. Have you had low tire pressure recently? Sometimes, changing tires without recalibrating the system can also trigger an error. Of course, it could also be that the wheel speed sensor is clogged with mud—something to watch out for after driving on muddy roads in the rain. It's best not to push through it; head to the dealership as soon as possible to read the fault codes, as this system is linked to the vehicle stability control.
