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
- Control switch for door mirror adjustment Swivelling down mirror glass as a parking
aidf
Please see the chapter “SEAT MEMORY” on
Page 35.
– When reverse gear is engaged, the mirror glass on the passenger’s side swivels down
slightly to show the curb area. Preconditions
– Vehicle must be equipped with seat memory.
– Set the control switch
A to “passenger’s side”.
– Reverse gear must be engaged.
Returning mirror glass to its original position
f Drive forwards with a speed of over 4 mph
(6 km/h) or
f Set the control switch A to “driver’s side”.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
