Limits of ultrasonic measurement 
The parking assistant system cannot detect:
– sound-absorbing obstacles (e.g. powder 
snow), 
– sound-reflecting obstacles (e.g. glass surfac-
es, flat painted surfaces) 
– and very thin obstacles. 
– Other ultrasound sources (e.g. pneumatic 
brakes of other vehicles, jackhammers) can 
interfere with detection of obstacles. 
Fault indication 
The parking assistant system indicates a fault in 
two ways:
– After reverse gear has been selected, the 
short signal tone is followed by a continuous 
tone of the same pitch:
This indicates that sensors are soiled or cov-
ered with ice. 
– After reverse gear has been selected, the 
short signal tone is followed by a continuous 
tone with a much lower pitch:
This indicates a general system fault. 
Please have the fault remedied at an author-
ized Porsche dealer.A

Setting temperaturefPress button F upwards or downwards 
respectively.
To suit personal comfort, the interior temperature 
can be adjusted between 61 °F and 85 °F/16 °C 
and 29.5 °C. 
Recommendation: 72 °F/22 °C.
If “LO” or “HI” appears on the display, the system 
is operating at maximum cooling or heating pow-
er.
Automatic control is no longer active.
Note
If the preselected temperature is changed, the 
blower speed can increase automatically in auto-
matic mode.
The desired temperature is reached more quickly 
this way.

ditioning system:
fDo not cover the sun sensor on the instrument 
panel or the temperature sensor C.fPress button A (switch on or off).
The windshield is defogged or defrosted as 
quickly as possible.

conditioning system on and offThe air-conditioning compressor switches off 
automatically at temperatures below approx. 
37 °F/3 °C and cannot be switched on, even 
manually.
Whenever outside temperatures exceed approx. 
37 °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 AC OFF button D.
The compressor is switched off.
The light-emitting diode in the button lights up.
