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Automatic control is no longer active.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.

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

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.

General instructions for air-conditioning
compressor– Can switch off briefly if engine is under an
extreme load to ensure sufficient engine
cooling.
– Switches off automatically at temperatures
below 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
humidity, condensation can drip from the
evaporator 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
