Warning chime
If the ignition key is withdrawn and the door is
opened while the lights (not the parking light or
Welcome Home lighting) are on, a chime warns of
possible battery discharge.
In some countries, differences are possible
due to provisions of law.
Daytime running lightsThe daytime running lights are integrated in the
front auxiliary headlights. These lights are
switched on only when the engine is running and
with the light switch in the positions OFF or HOME.
Operation of the daytime running lights may vary
depending on country-specific regulations.
Canada only:
In addition to the auxiliary headlights the parking
lights are switched on.

Automatic air conditioning system, Heated rear window/Door mirror heating
99
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
power.
Automatic control is no longer active.
Note
If the preselected temperature is changed, the
blower speed can increase automatically in
automatic mode.
The desired temperature is reached more quickly
this way.
Sensors
To avoid affecting the performance of the air-
conditioning system:
fDo not cover the sun sensor on the instrument
panel or the temperature sensor C.fPress 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:
fPress AC OFF button D.
The compressor is switched off.
The light-emitting diode in the button lights up.
fIf 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.fPress button K upwards or downwards respec-
tively.
The preset blower speed is increased or decre-
ased.
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.
fOnly select recirculating-air setting for short
periods.
fIf the windows fog up, switch recirculating-air
setting off immediately by pressing the
circulating-air button again and select the “Defrost windshield” function.

Practical Tips, Emergency Service
213
Winter operation The capacity and ability of the battery to store
power decreases at low outside temperatures.
Additionally, more power is consumed while
starting, and the headlights, heater, rear window
defogger, etc., are used more frequently.
fLet your Porsche dealer test the battery’s
capacity before winter sets in.
The battery will discharge more quickly if your
vehicle is not driven on a daily basis over a
distance of several miles. The more often you
drive your vehicle, and the longer the distance
driven on each trip, the more opportunity the
vehicle’s charging system will have to recharge the
batteries.
Replacing battery The service life of the battery is subject to normal
wear; it depends greatly on care, climatic condi-
tions, and driving conditions (distances, loads).
fOnly use an original Porsche battery, with the
correct part number, as a replacement.
fPlease observe the disposal instructions for
batteries.
Putting vehicle into operationAfter the battery is connected or after an comple-
tely discharged battery is charged, the multi-
functional PSM light lights up on the instrument
panel and a message appears on the on-board
computer to indicate a fault.
This fault can be remedied with a few simple
steps:
1. Start the engine.
2. With the vehicle stationary, perform a few
steering movements to the left and right and
then drive a short distance in a straight line
until the multifunctinal PSM light goes out and
the message on the on-board computer
disappears.
3. If the warnings do not disappear, then:
Drive carefully to the nearest authorized
Porsche dealer.
Have the fault remedied.
4. After the warnings disappear:
Stop the vehicle in a suitable place.
fPerform adaptation of the power windows:

POSITION OF THE WINDOWS” on Page 29.
