Automatically Controlled 2-Zone Air Conditioning - Porsche 911 Turbo 2014 Owner's Manual

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

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

the following air-conditioning or heating functions
are restricted initially and then switched off:
– Seat heating
