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
aidfPlease see the chapter “SEAT MEMORY” on
Page 33.
– 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
fDrive forwards with a speed of over 4 mph
(6 km/h) or
fSet the control switch A to “driver’s side”.

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Automatic control is no longer active.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.

To avoid affecting the performance of the air-con-
ditioning system:
fDo not cover the sun sensor on the instrument
panel or the temperature sensor C.fPress button A (switch on or off).

General instructions for air-conditioning
compressor– Can switch off briefly if engine is under an ex-
treme load to ensure sufficient engine cooling.
– Switches off automatically at temperatures be-
low approx. 37 °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, 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 vehicle.
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
repaired at an authorized Porsche dealer. Air distribution to footwell
