Environmentally friendly vehiclesModern environmental technology ensures compli-
ance with all emission laws applicable worldwide.
It has the following advantages:
– Rapid “operational readiness” of the catalytic
converters ensures low emissions, even in
short-trip operation.
– Reliable operation and good emission control
over a long useful life.
fPlease observe the chapter “FUEL ECONOMY”
on Page 265.
Recycling –
for a Porsche, this is virtually an
academic questionMore than two-thirds of all Porsches ever built are
still running.
But, just in case recycling is ever necessary,
we take the following precautionary
measures:
– Utilisation-friendly design.
– Identification of materials.
– Use of recyclable materials.
– Reusable components designed for simple
removal.
Emission control is built inInnovative engine technology combines high
engine performance and environmental compati-
bility.
The engine diagnosis system electronically
monitors the components and systems that affect
exhaust gases.
This continuous monitoring and fault storage
enables swift, reliable diagnosis and fault detec-
tion.
Faults are indicated to the driver by the “Emission
control” warning light and display.
fPlease observe the chapter “EMISSION CONT-
ROL” on Page 88.

Controls, Safety, Instruments The rain sensor remains switched off if the wiper
lever is already in position 1 when the ignition is
switched on.
To switch the rain sensor on again:
fMove wiper stalk to position 0 and then to
position 1 – switching on is confirmed by one
wipe of the windscreen – or
fOperate windscreen washer system 5 –
switching on is confirmed by three wipes of the
windscreen – or
fChange the sensitivity of the rain sensor with
four-stage switch A.Changing the sensitivity of the rain sensor
Sensitivity can be set with switch A in 4 stages:
fAdjust switch A upwards –
high sensitivity.
The setting is confirmed by one wipe of the
windscreen.
fAdjust switch A downwards –
low sensitivity.
2 – Front windscreen wiper – slow
fMove wiper stalk upwards to the second click.
3 – Front windscreen wiper – fast
fMove wiper stalk upwards to the third click.
At speeds of less than approx. ca. 2.5 mph (4 km/
h), rain sensor operation mode is automatically
activated if the windscreen wiper is switched on. If
you exceed a speed of approx. 5 mph (8 km/h),
the system switches to the pre-selected wiper
level.
4 – Front windscreen wiper – one-touch
operation
fMove wiper stalk downwards. The front wind-
screen wipers go through one wiping cycle.5 – Front windscreen wipers and washer
system
fPull wiper stalk towards the steering wheel.
The washer system sprays and wipes while the
lever is pulled towards the steering wheel.
When the wiper lever is released, a few wipes
are executed.
Headlight washer:
T h e w a s h e r s p r a ys o n l y w h i l e l o w b e a m o r h i g h
beam is switched on.
To activate the headlight washer system, the
wiper lever must be pulled for a longer period
of time.
The headlight washer can be re-activated at
the earliest after five washing cycles.
The spray duration is limited.
Maintenance note
fIf heavily soiled, repeat wash.
fPersistent dirt (e.g. insect remains) should be
regularly removed.
Please observe the chapter “CAR CARE
INSTRUCTIONS” on Page 273.
The front windscreen washer nozzles are heat-
ed when the ignition is on, as a precaution against
freezing. However, this does not replace the use
of antifreeze.

Automatically Controlled Two-Zone
Air ConditioningDepending on various factors (e.g. sunlight, air
quality), the air-conditioning system controls the
preset interior temperature fully automatically.
If necessary, the automatic system can be manu-
ally influenced.
This individual adjustment is shown on the air-con-
ditioning display panel.Note on operation
The air conditioner settings are stored on the re-
spective remote control when switching off the ig-
nition and locking the vehicle. The “Air flow OFF”
setting is stored for approx. 60 minutes and the
“Recirculated air” setting is stored for approx.
20 minutes.

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.
