Automatically controlled 4-zone

air conditioning

Depending on various factors (e.g. ambient

temperature, sunlight, air quality), the air-condi-

tioning system controls the preset interior temper-

ature fully automatically.

Temperature, air quantity and air distribution can

be set individually/separately for the four air-

conditioned areas front left, front right, rear left

and rear right.

You can manually influence the automatic system.

The individual adjustment is shown on the air-con-

ditioning display.

respective remote control when switching off the

ignition and locking the vehicle. The “Air flow OFF”

setting is stored for approx. 60 minutes and the

“Recirculated air” setting is stored for approx.

20 minutes.

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.

the rear doors and the rear control panel for the
