is operating at maximum cooling or heating
power.
Automatic control is no longer active.
Note
If the preselected temperature is changed, the
blower speed can increase automatically in

General instructions for air-conditioning
compressor– Can switch off briefly if engine is under an
extreme load to ensure sufficient engine
cooling.
– Switches off automatically at temperatures
below approx. 37 °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, it
is a good idea to ventilate the interior briefly
with the windows open.
– Depending on the outside temperature and
humidity, condensation can drip from the
evaporator and form a pool under the vehicle.
This is normal and not a sign of leakage.
– If uncooled air flows out when the lowest
temperature has been set, switch off the air-
conditioning compressor and have the fault
repaired at an authorized Porsche dealer. Air distribution to footwell
