Controls, Safety, Instruments
Dear Porsche OwnerA lot has gone into the manufacture of your
Porsche, including advanced engineering, rigid
quality control and demanding inspections. These
engineering and safety features will be enhanced
by you...the safe driver...– who knows his car and all controls,
– who maintains the vehicle properly,
– who uses driving skills wisely and always
drives within her/his own capabilities and the
level of familiarity with the vehicle.
You will find helpful hints in this manual on how to
perform most of the checks listed on the following
pages. If in doubt, have these checks performed
by your authorized Porsche dealer.
Before driving off...Check the following items firstfTurn the engine off before you attempt any
checks or repairs on the vehicle.
fBe sure the tires are inflated correctly.
Check tires for damage and tire wear.
fSee that wheel bolts are properly tightened
and not loose or missing.
fCheck engine oil level, add if necessary. Make
it a habit to have engine oil checked with every
fuel filling.
fCheck all fluid levels such as windshield wash-
er and brake fluid levels.
fBe sure the vehicle battery is well charged and
cranks the engine properly.
fCheck all doors and lids for proper operation
and latch them properly.
fCheck and if necessary replace worn or
cracked wiper blades.
fSee that all windows are clear and unobstruct-
ed.
fCheck air intake slots and area between en-
gine compartment lid and windshield are free
of snow and ice, so the heater and the wind-
shield wipers work properly.fIf a child will be riding in the vehicle, check
child seat/child seat restraint system to ensure
that restraints are properly adjusted.
fCheck all exterior and interior lights for opera-
tion and that the lenses are clean.
fCheck the headlights for proper aim, and if
necessary, have them adjusted.
fCheck under the vehicle for leaks.
fBe sure all luggage is stowed securely.
Emergency equipmentIt is good practice to carry emergency equipment
in your vehicle.
Some of the items you should have are: window
scraper, snow brush, container or bag of sand or
salt, emergency light, small shovel, first-aid kit,
etc.

E- Light-emitting diodes (LED)
F- Button for automatic anti-dazzle operation
G-Light sensorsAutomatic Anti-Dazzle MirrorSensors on the front and rear sides of the interior
mirror measure the incident light. The mirrors au-
tomatically change to anti-dazzle position or revert
to their normal state, depending on the light inten-
sity.
Warning!
Danger of injury. Electrolyte fluid can
emerge from broken mirror glass. This fluid
irritates the skin and eyes.
fIf the electrolyte fluid should come into contact
with the skin or eyes, immediately rinse it off
with clean water.
See a doctor if necessary.
Risk of damage to paintwork and leather and
plastic parts, and clothing. Electrolyte fluid
can be removed only while it is still wet.
fClean the affected parts with water.Note on operation
The incident light in the area of light sensors G
must not be restricted (e.g. by stickers on the
windshield).
Switching off automatic anti-dazzle
operation
fPress button F.
Light-emitting diode E goes out.
Note on operation
Anti-dazzle operation switches off automatically,
if:
– Reverse gear is engaged or
– Interior lighting and/or
reading lights in the front are switched on.
Switching on automatic anti-dazzle
operation

to suit personal comfort.
fPush temperature button up or down.
The selected temperature is shown in a bar
display on the display above the button.
If a bar cannot be seen, the air conditioning is
running at its maximum setting.
If all bars can be seen, the heating is running
at its maximum setting.
Note
fFor maximum cooling, activate recirculated air
(buttonC).fPush button E or K up or down for air quantity.
The selected air quantity is shown in a bar
display on the display above the button.
If the air quantity was reduced so much that “OFF”
appears on the display, the outside-air supply is
interrupted.
Warning!
Risk of accident due to hampered vision. If
the air quantity is “OFF”, the windows may
mist up.
fPush button E up (to increase air quantity).fPress button A.

the air-conditioning compressor is switched off.
Warning!
Risk of accident due to hampered vision.
If the air-conditioning compressor is
switched off, the windows may mist up.
fDo not switch off the air-conditioning compres-sor in damp weather.
Switching air-conditioning compressor off

Information on air-conditioning
compressorThe air-conditioning compressor:
– Can switch off briefly if engine is under an ex-
treme load to ensure sufficient engine cooling.
– Switches off automatically at temperatures be-
low 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.
Notes on operation
Depending on the outside temperature and humid-
ity, condensation can drip from the evaporator
and form a pool under the car.
This is normal and not a sign of leakage.
If uncooled air flows out when the lowest temper-
ature has been set (“LO”), switch off the air-condi-
tioning compressor and have the fault remedied at
an authorized Porsche dealer.
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 REST button N.
The air-conditioning settings cannot be
changed in REST mode.
Ending the function
fPress REST button N.
Note on operation
If the battery positive voltage is too low, REST
mode is automatically ended.
fPlease observe the chapter “WARNING LIGHTS
AND WARNING MESSAGES” on Page 108.
