Air Conditioning 55
Automatically Controlled 2-zone
Air Conditioning
The temperature can be set individually for the driver’s and passenger’s side.
In automatic mode the air conditioning system exercises full control over the air temperature, air distribution, and air quantity. A number of factors (such as ambient air temperature, amount of sunlight, etc...) are used by the system to determine the optimum settings for the current situation.
Automatic mode is deactivated as soon as the settings are adjusted manually. In this case, automatic climate control still regulates the air-conditioning functions that have not been modified manually.
Interior temperature sensor
Sensors
To avoid impairing the function of the air conditioning system, the interior temperature sensor for the air-conditioning system must not be covered or taped over.
Information
Additional air conditioning settings can be made on the multi-function display on the instrument panel:fPlease see the chapter “SETTING AIR CONDITIONING” on page 123.
All air-conditioning system settings are stored on the respective car key when the vehicle is locked, on vehicles with memory.
Information on air-conditioning compressor
The air-conditioning compressor – Can switch off briefly to ensure sufficient engine cooling if the engine is operating under extreme load.– Switches off automatically at temperatures below approx. 36 °F (2 °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 humidity, condensation can drip from the evaporator and form a pool under the vehicle.This is normal and not a sign of leakage.
Information on automatic load switch-off
If the charging condition of the battery is critical, the following air-conditioning or heating functions are restricted initially and then switched off:– Seat heating– Seat ventilation– Heated rear window/Exterior mirror heating– Fresh-air blower– Air-conditioning compressor

272 Minor Repairs
Risk of damage to the fabric, metal or paint from battery acid or electrolyte.fDo not allow battery acid to come in contact with fabric or painted surfaces.fSpilled electrolyte must be rinsed off at once with a solution of baking soda and water to neutralize the acid.
Charge state
A well-charged battery prevents starting problems and has a longer service life.
In order to avoid unintentional battery discharge:
fSwitch off unnecessary electrical loads in city traffic, on short trips or in a line of traffic.fAlways remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle orswitch off the ignition on vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive.fAvoid using the Porsche Communication Management system and the audio system when the engine is not running.fPlease see the chapter “CHARGING THE BATTERY” on page 274.
Information
In the cold season in particular or if the vehicle is used primarily for short distances, it may be necessary to recharge the battery from time to time.
Battery care
fEnsure that battery is securely mounted.fKeep battery surface clean and dry.fKeep terminals and connections clean. Corrosion can be prevented by coating the terminals and connections with petroleum jelly or silicone spray.fEnsure that terminal clamps and the vent hose are firmly secured.
Winter driving
The ability of the battery to deliver and store power decreases at low outside temperatures. Moreover, the battery is more heavily loaded in the winter months, e.g. by the heated rear window, the more frequent use of additional lights, the blower and the windshield wipers, etc.fHave the battery checked before the start of winter.
Information
Keep the battery fully charged to prevent it from freezing.
A discharged battery can already freeze at –5 ºC, but a fully charged one only freezes at –40 ºC. fIf the battery is frozen, thaw it out before connecting jump leads.
Laying up the vehicle
If the vehicle is left for long periods in the garage or workshop, the doors and lids should be closed.fRemove the ignition key or disconnect the battery if necessary.
Information
fWhen the battery is disconnected, the alarm system ceases to function.
If the vehicle was locked before the battery was disconnected, the alarm will be triggered when the battery is reconnected.To deactivate the alarm system: fLock the vehicle and unlock it again.
Alarm system, central locking
fThe status of the central locking and alarm system does not change when you disconnect the battery.
Information
Even if you put your vehicle out of operation, the battery still discharges.fThe battery must be charged, i.e. connected to a charger, approximately every 6 weeks in order to preserve battery function.fStore a battery that has been removed in a dark, cool place that is not exposed to frost.
Replacing the battery
The battery is subject to normal wear: its service life depends heavily on the care you give it, climatic conditions and the conditions of use (distances, loads).
It is not possible to use the details on the battery case to determine a comparable battery that meets all the specific requirements of Porsche.fHave the battery removed and installed only by your authorized Porsche dealer.fOnly use an original Porsche battery, with the correct part number, as a replacement. Only this battery meets the specific requirements of the vehicle.
