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.
