Information on air-conditioning

compressor

The air-conditioning compressor:

– May switch off briefly to ensure sufficient

engine cooling if the engine is operating under

extreme load.

– Switches off automatically at temperatures

below approx. 3 °C and cannot be switched

on, even manually.

– Operates most effectively with the windows

closed.

If the vehicle has been in the sun for a long

time, it is a good idea to ventilate the interior

briefly with the windows open.

– Depending on the outside temperature and

humidity, condensation can drip from the

evaporator and form a pool under the car.

This is normal and not a sign of leakage.

f If uncooled air flows out when the lowest

temperature has been set (“LO”), switch off the

air-conditioning compressor and have the fault

remedied.

Consult a qualified specialist workshop. We

recommend that you use a Porsche partner for

this work since these are staffed with trained

personnel and have the necessary parts and

tools.

Sensors

To avoid affecting the performance of the air-

conditioning system:

f Do not cover the sun sensor on the dashboard

and the temperature sensor F in the front

control panel of the air-conditioning system.
