Allocating signals to the buttonsfPlease follow the operating instructions for the
original hand-held transmitter.
Prior to programming the HomeLink for the
first time
The following process dele tes the standard codes
set at the factory. Do not repeat the process if you
program further buttons.
f Keep the two outer buttons 1 and 3
depressed for approx. 20 seconds until light-
emitting diode A begins to flash quickly.
All programmed signals of buttons 1 to 3 are
deleted. Programming HomeLink with fixed code
hand-held transmitters
1. Press and hold the desired button until the
light-emitting diode begins to flash slowly.
You then have approx. 5 minutes to perform
steps 2 and 3.
2. Hold the original hand -held transmitter approx.
0 to 12 in. (0 to 30 cm ) in front of the marked
position (figure) on the vehicle.
3. Press the transmit button on the original hand- held transmitter until the daytime driving lights
flash three times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to allocate other buttons.
Programming HomeLink with changeable
code hand-held transmitters
1. Press and hold the desired button until the light-emitting diode begins to flash slowly.
You then have approx. 5 minutes to perform
steps 2 and 3.
2. Hold the original hand -held transmitter approx.
0 to 12 in. (0 to 30 cm ) in front of the marked
position (figure) on the vehicle.
3. Press the transmit button on the original hand- held transmitter until the daytime driving lights
flash three times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. To synchronize the system: Press the programming button on the receiver
for the garage door actuator.
Afterwards, you usually have approx.
30 seconds to initiate step 5. 5. Press the allocated HomeLink button twice.
(With some devices, the button to be allocated
must be pressed a third time in order to
complete the setting process.)
6. Repeat the programming steps to allocate other buttons.
Note
Several attempts with different distances between
the vehicle and the original hand-held transmitter
might be necessary.
The daytime driving lights will flash once the 5
minutes have been exceeded. Programming must
be repeated from the beginning.
f Please consult your authorized Porsche dealer
if you have not been able to successfully
allocate signals for the garage door opener to
the buttons even though you have carefully
followed the instructions in this chapter and
the operating instructions for the original hand-
held transmitter.
Deleting programmed signals of the
HomeLink
(e.g., when selling the vehicle)
Keep the two outer buttons 1 and 3 depressed
for approx. 20 seconds until light-emitting diode A
begins to flash quickly.
All programmed signals of buttons 1 to 3 are
deleted.

fPress button A (switch on or off).
The light-emitting diode in the button lights up.
The windshield is demisted or defrosted as
quickly as possible.
Air flows to the windshield only.
The outside-air supply is interrupted and only the
inside air is circulated.
Warning!
Risk of accident due to impaired vision,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
In recirculating-air setting, the windows may
fog up.
f Only select recirculating-air setting for short
periods.
f If the windows fog up, sw itch recirculating-air
setting off immediately by pressing the
recirculating-air button again and select the ”Defrost windshield“ function.
Switching recirculating-air mode on or off
f Press recirculating-air button E.
The light-emitting diode in the button lights up.
AC OFF– switching the air-conditioning
compressor 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 can
be switched on or off manually.
The compressor can be switched off manual to
save fuel.
f Press AC OFF button D.
The light-emitting diode in the button lights up.
The compressor is switched off.
f If the interior temperature is too high, switch
on the compressor again.
To dry incoming air in damp weather, do not
switch off the air-conditioning compressor.
This prevents fogging of windows.AC max operationIn AC max operation, the interior of your vehicle is
cooled as quickly as possible.
f Press AC max button H.
The light-emitting diode in the button lights up.
Air distributionThe individual air distributions can be combined as
desired.
If an air distribution is not selected, no symbol
appears in the display panel. Air flows then from
all vents as well as to the windshield.
Recommended setting in Summer –
Air distribution to central and side vents
Recommended setting in Winter –
Air distribution to footwell and windshield
f Press button H.

Information on air-conditioning
compressor– May switch off briefly to ensure sufficient engine cooling if the engine is operating under
extreme load.
– The air-conditioning compressor switches off automatically at temperatures below approx.
37 °F/3 °C and cannot be switched on, even
manually.
– Operates most effectively with the windows closed.
If the vehicle 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 hu- midity, condensation can drip from the evapo-
rator and form a pool under the car.
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
remedied.
Please contact your auth orized Porsche dealer
for further information.

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.
Sensors
To avoid affecting the performance of the air-con-
ditioning system:
f Do not cover the sun sensor on the instrument
panel or the temperature sensor C. f
Press button A (switch on or off).
The windshield is defogged or defrosted as
quickly as possible.
Air flows to the windshield only.
The light-emitting diode in the button lights up.
AC OFF – switching compressor for air-
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:
f Press AC OFF button D.
The compressor is switched off.
The light-emitting diode in the button lights up.
f If the interior temperature is too high, switch
compressor back on or press AUTO button.
To dry incoming air in damp weather, do not
switch off the air-conditioning compressor.
This prevents fogging of windows. f
Press button K upwards or downwards respec-
tively.
The preset blower speed is increased or
decreased.
The speed stages are indicated by a bar display.
If the button is pressed downwards at the lowest
blower stage, the blower and automatic control
are switched off. “OFF” will appear on the display
field.
Pressing the button upwards or pressing the
AUTO button switches the blower and automatic
control back on again.
Warning!
Risk of accident due to impaired vision,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
In recirculating-air setting, the windows may
fog up.
f Only select recirculatin g-air setting for short
periods.
f If the windows fog up, switch recirculating-air
setting off immediately by pressing the
circulating-air button again and select the “Defrost windshield” function.
