ECON modeThe outside air that is flowing in does not dry up if
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
Whenever outside temperatures exceed 37.4°F
(3°C), the air-conditioning compressor is always
switched on in automatic mode.
The compressor can be switched off to save fuel,
but control comfort is then limited:
fPress ECON button M.
The ECON logo appears on the air-conditioning
display panel.
The air-conditioning compressor is switched
off.

fIf the interior temperature is too high:
Press ECON button M or
Press AUTO button C.
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 20minutes 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.

Parking HeaterThe parking heater features two functions: parking
heating and parking ventilation.
The parking heater is ready for use regardless of
the ignition key position.
The parking heater is also used as an auxiliary
heater. Operation of the parking heater is clearly
audible when outside temperatures are low, even
if the parking heater has been manually switched
off.
Danger!
Risk of poisoning due to carbon monoxide
(CO). The parking heater consumes fuel and
emits exhaust fumes. Exposure to such
fumes can cause unconsciousness, serious
personal injury or death.
fSwitch off the parking heater before refuelling.

Roof Transport SystemfPlease follow the separate instructions for
fitting the Roof Transport System.
fPlease observe the chapter “LOADING INFOR-
MATION” on Page 213.
Fitting normal commercially available luggage
racks is not possible.
The Porsche Roof Transport System allows the
transport of various sports and hobby equipment.
Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to
tell you about the manifold uses of the Roof Trans-
port System.
Warning!
Risk of an accident, loss of control and dam-
age to the vehicle.
fCompletely remove the Roof Transport System
before using an automatic car wash – risk of
damage to the vehicle.
fDo not exceed the permissible roof load, the
permissible gross weight and the permissible
axle loads.
Please observe the chapter “WEIGHTS” on
Page 387.
fDistribute load evenly, with heavy items as low
as possible. Items of luggage must not project
beyond the side of the load area.
fFix and secure every item to the basic carrier
with a rope or lashing strap (do not use elastic
rubber tensioners).
fBefore every journey, and at regular intervals
during long trips, check that Roof Transport
System and load are secure. Re-tighten if
necessary and secure additionally by locking.When the Roof Transport System is loaded, the
maximum speed depends on the nature, size and
weight of the load being carried.
fAdapt your driving style and speed to the
changed conditions.
Nevertheless, Porsche recommends that you
do not exceed the posted speed limit.
Driving, braking and steerin g b e h a v i o r c h a n g e d u e
to the higher center of gravity and the greater
wind-resistant area. You should adapt your driving
style appropriately.
fSince fuel consumption and noise are in-
creased with the Roof Transport System fitted,
it should not remain on the car if not in use.

Shifting Gear, Traction Systems
Manual transmission, clutch
Warning!
Risk of accident.
fDo not obstruct the pedal travel with floor mats or other objects.
Floor mats of the correct size and with the
appropriate fasteners are available from your
authorized Porsche dealer.The positions of the gears are shown on the shift
diagram on the gearshift lever.
fWhen shifting gears, always ensure that the
clutch pedal is fully depressed and the gear
has fully engaged.
fSelect reverse only when vehicle is stationary.
fSelect an appropriately low gear on upward
and downward slopes.
This will ensure optimum use of engine power
and engine braking.
When reverse gear is selected and the ignition is
on, the reversing lights are lit.
Permitted engine speedfYou should change into a higher gear before
the needle reaches the red mark on the
tachometer, or ease off the accelerator.
If the red zone is reached during acceleration, fuel
feed is interrupted.
Caution!
Risk of engine damage (overrevving) when
shifting down to a lower gear.
fTake care not to exceed the maximum permit-ted engine speed when down-shifting.
