Valid for Every Air-Conditioning
SystemNote on operation
The air conditioner settings are stored on the
respective remote control when switching off the
ignition and locking the vehic l e . T he “A i r fl o w O F F ”
setting is stored for approx. 60 minutes and the
“Recirculated air” setting is stored for approx.
20 minutes.REST modeUsing engine residual heat
The residual heat of the engine can be used to
heat the interior up to 20 minutes after the ignition
has been switched off.
fPress button (manual and 2-zone air-
conditioning) or (4-zone air-conditio-
ning) on the front control panel.
The air-conditioning settings cannot be chan-
ged in REST mode.
Ending the function
fPress button (manual and 2-zone air-
conditioning) or (4-zone air-conditio-
ning) on the front control panel.
Note on operation
If the battery voltage is too low, REST mode is
automatically ended.
ECON mode
Warning!
Risk of accident due to impaired vision,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
The outside air that is flowing in is not dried
in ECON mode. The windows may mist up.
fDo not switch on ECON mode in damp weather.
In ECON mode, the air-conditioning compressor is
switched off and this deactivates the cooling
function (e.g. to save fuel).
The air-conditioning compressor is always swit-
ched off at temperatures below 37.4 °F (3 °C).
Switching on ECON mode
fPress button .
The ECON logo appears on the air-conditioning
display panel.
The air-conditioning compressor is switched
off.
Switching off ECON mode
fIf the interior temperature is too high,
press button or
press button (2-zone air-conditioning)
or button (4-zone air-conditioning).
The ECON logo disappears from the air-condi-
tioning display panel.
The air-conditioning compressor is switched
on.
Information on air-conditioning
compressorThe 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. 37.4 °F (3 °C) and cannot be
switched on, even manually.
– Operates most effectively with windows
closed.
If the car has been in the sun for a long time,
however, 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 eva-
porator and form a pool under the car.
This is normal and not a sign of leakage.
fIf uncooled air flows out when the lowest
temperature has been set (“LO”), switch off the
air-conditioning compressor and have the fault
remedied at an authorized Porsche dealer.
