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 inte-
rior 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.
