Warning!
Risk of accident due to impaired vision,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
The outside air that is flowing in is not dried
in ECON mode. The windows may mist up.
fDo not switch on ECON mode in damp weather.
In ECON mode, the air-conditioning compressor is
switched off and this deactivates the cooling
function (e.g. to save fuel).
The air-conditioning compressor is always swit-
ched off at temperatures below 37.4 °F (3 °C).

Information on air-conditioning
compressorThe air-conditioning compressor:
– May switch off briefly to ensure sufficient
engine cooling if the engine is operating under
extreme load.
– Switches off automatically at temperatures
below 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.
– Depending on the outside temperature and
humidity, condensation can drip from the eva-
porator and form a pool under the car.
This is normal and not a sign of leakage.
fIf uncooled air flows out when the lowest
temperature has been set (“LO”), switch off the
air-conditioning compressor and have the fault
remedied at an authorized Porsche dealer.
