cleaning the windshield to avoid unintentional
operation (rain sensor operation).
fAlways hold the wiper arm securely when re-
placing the wiper blade.fAlways switch the windscreen wipers off (posi-
tion 0) before opening the engine compart-
ment lid. If the wiper arms are not in position
0, they will automatically move to this position
when the engine compartment lid is opened.
This will happen even if the ignition is off.
The wiper arms remain in this position until the
lid is closed and the wiper system is switched
off and then on again.

On upward or downward slopes, the set speed
cannot always be maintained by cruise control.
fTo obtain sufficient engine braking or a better
engine-speed range, therefore, you have to
change down to a lower gear.

quality), the air-conditioning system controls the
preset interior temperature fully automatically.
If necessary, the automatic system can be manu-
ally influenced.

Risk of accident due to hampered vision.
If the air-conditioning compressor is
switched off, the windows may mist up.
fDo not switch off the air-conditioning compres-sor in damp weather.
Switching air-conditioning compressor off

Information on air-conditioning
compressorThe 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. 37.4°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,
however, it is a good idea to ventilate the
interior briefly with the windows open.
Notes on operation
Depending on the outside temperature and humid-
ity, condensation can drip from the evaporator
and form a pool under the car.
This is normal and not a sign of leakage.
If uncooled air flows out when the lowest temper-
ature has been set (“LO”), switch off the air-condi-
tioning compressor and have the fault remedied at
an authorized Porsche dealer.
REST modeUsing engine residual heat
The residual heat of the engine can be used to
heat the interior up to 20minutes after the ignition
has been switched off.
fPress REST button N.
The air-conditioning settings cannot be
changed in REST mode.
Ending the function
fPress REST button N.
Note on operation
If the battery positive voltage is too low, REST
mode is automatically ended.
