Question What does this decal stand for?

I have owned several GTS's over the years and have just purchased another one. This car came with window tinting (I personally don't like tinting), but apparentely when they added it, they removed the rear quarter window decals.

Well, I just removed the tinting (looks much better now!) and am now wanting to replace the decals. I know that there are three decals total. One is the "unleaded fuel only", the second are two individual decals for "Porsche Alarm System" and the third, I don't remember. I think it only goes on the passenger side and is located right behind the alarm decal. It is white in color and measures about 1 inch by 1 inch. What does this decal say?

Okay, I have an extra set of the alarm decals, but I need an "unleaded fuel only" decal and this other decal.

They no longer make the ''unleaded fuel only" decal and I don't know if they make the other one either.

Does anyone know what this white decal is and does anyone have an "unleaded fuel only" decal and this other white decal that they would be interested in selling. I would be glad to pay double the original price if someone would be willing to sell.

Thanks!

Here is a picture of a GTS with the decal. You can clearly see the white decal I was describing, plus the alarm decal in front of it. The "unleaded fuel only" decal is probably there, but just harder to see.

There's a sticker on the driver's door glass on my Cabrio, saying 'Porsche Roadside Assistance' and offering $5000 reward for recovery if the car is stolen. It's about an inch square.

I want that blue GTS! How pretty!!!

Sorry, can't help you with the sticker. I always remove all stickers, including warning labels, Drives me crazy, this stuff! - just clutters up the car. and personally, I have no problem remembering to get unleaded gas...

The sticker says something like ... This car is equipped with a front bumper system designed to withstand 5 mph impact with minimal damage. Minimal damage is defined as ..... then it says something about the standard being 2.5 mph.

I never noticed the sticker until it was mentioned.

That makes me sure that the sticker isn't there on euro cars.

Thank you guys. Unless I was blind, that definately answers my question Chuck! Great photo! Now the only question left is to whether or not they still sell that decal? They no longer have the "unleaded fuel only" one.
