Doors To lock, unlock and open doors from the
outside
All doors can be locked with the ignition key.
The passenger door can be locked without a
key by first depressing the locking knob and
then closing the door.
The driver's door can only be locked from the outside with the key. This precaution was
taken to prevent locking the driver's door
while the key is still inside the car. Squeeze trigger in door handle to open door.
To lock, unlock and open doors from the inside
Lock or unlock door by depressing or raising
the locking knob.
Open door by pulling inside door handle
located above the armrest.

Power Windows
To open or close windows, depress the
rocker switches located in the door panels. The door window on the passenger's side can also be operated from the drivers side.
The power windows are operational when the
ignition switch is turned to positions 1 or 2.
Information regarding ignition switch posi- tions will be found in section titled,
"Ignition/starter switch with steering lock".
When the ignition is turned off or the ignition
key removed, the power windows can be
operated until one door is opened.
WARNING

Do not put anything on or near the windows that may interfere with the
driver's vision.
Remove the ignition key to shut off power to the window switches when the vehicle
is not attended by a responsible person.
Remember, power is still supplied to the
window switches until one door is opened. 12



Central Locking

By means of the central locking system both
doors are electrically locked or unlocked
(locking button lowered or raised) when a door lock is turned with the key. Before locking,
make sure that both doors are properly
closed.
When the doors are locked, the removable
roof is also locked at the same time.
If the roof is open, it is not affected by the
central locking system.
Both doors can be individually locked from
inside by pressing the locking button. If the
locking button is used to unlock one door, the
second door is also automatically unlocked.

To prevent you from locking yourself out of
the vehicle, it is not possible with the driver's
door open to lock the door lock with the
locking button.
Emergency operation


Should the central locking fail, both doors can
be opened and closed mechanically. Central Locking Switch


By pressing the central locking switch (A) in
the centre console it is possible with the
ignition key in position 2 to lock or unlock both doors electrically. As a check, if the doors are
locked, a red indicator lamp in the switch
lights up.
If one of the doors has been locked manually,
the red indicator lamp lights up. By pressing
the switch, the door is unlocked; when
pressed again, both doors are locked.
With the ignition key removed, locking is
possible by means of the central locking
switch. To unlock, the ignition must be
switched on or the locking button raised. 13

Automatically Controlled
Air Conditioner
The air conditioning system works only when
the engine is running. Its refrigerating capacity depends on engine speed. If a high
refrigerating capacity is desired, it is
necessary to rev up the engine -
particularly in city or bumper-to-bumper traffic.
The air conditioning system can be turned on
at any air distribution position by pressing the
air conditioner switch. When the system is
turned on, the air conditioning compressor is
activated via a magnetic clutch.
Optimal cooling is achieved when the fan
control switch is at position 4, the windows are closed and the lateral as well as the
center dashboard vents are fully opened and
the temperature switch is set at maximum
cooling power.
When the air conditioning system is on,
additional cooled air enters the glove
compartment through a vent.
After prolonged exposure to sun, it is recommended that you ventilate the
passenger compartment with the windows
down and air conditioning on.
Should the air conditioning system fail, i. e.
uncooled air flows through the vents while the
system is switched on, have it checked in an
authorized workshop.

Functioning
The automatic system controls the passenger
compartment temperature in accordance with
the temperature preset by the temperature
knob.
The passenger compartment temperature is
kept constant under varying climatic
conditions.
Cold and warm air is automatically mixed by
means of air flaps operated by a servo motor.
The servo motor is controlled by a passenger
compartment temperature sensor, an ambient
temperature sensor and a temperature sensor located in the air conditioner.
There are several options to satisfy the
requirements of individual comfort with an
automatically controlled air-conditioning
system:
The upper level (2) is operated to direct the air flow towards the windshield (right position:
open; left position: closed).
The lower level (3) can be used to direct the
air flow to the footwell outlets (right position:
open; left position: closed). The positions of
these two levers are infinitely variable and can be set independently of one another. A higher or lower temperature range can be preselected by means of the temperature
control knob.

Air Conditioning System Maintenance The air conditioning system must be turned on for a short period of time at least once a
month. This instruction should be observed
particularly during the cold season to ensure
proper lubrication of the sealing rings and
compressor bearings.
For this purpose, set the temperature control
knob at maximum cooling temperature
(extreme counterclockwise position).
Check the compressor polyrib belt for proper
tension during regular maintenance.
Due to the loss of refrigerant, which is
technically inevitable, the refrigerant level in
the fluid reservoir should be checked at least
once a year.
If gas bubbles are visible over an extended
period of time in the inspection window of the
fluid reservoir while the air conditioner is
running, there is a deficit of refrigerant in the
air conditioning system. The brief appearance
of gas bubbles is due to technical reasons.
Should the air conditioning system fail, i. e.
uncooled air flows through the vents while the
system is switched on, have it checked by
your Porsche dealer.
