Important notes:
• The air conditioner operates only with
the engine running.
• When the air conditioner is switched on,
at least one airoutlet vent must be
opened, since otherwise the vaporizer
can ice up. The condensate forming
during operation of the air conditioner
escapes through openings at the bottom
of the vehicle.
• The air conditioner must be switched on
briefly at least once a month to lubricate
the seals and bearings of the air condi-
tioner compressor and the expansion
valve. This is particularly important in
the winter when the air conditioner is
not needed. The outdoor temperature
must be above 32° F/0° C.
• Whenever the air conditioner does not
function properly, e. g. no cold air es-
capes even though the unit is switched
on, switch it off and immediately see
your Porsche dealer.
The following controls make possible op-
timum adjustment of the unit to your indi-
vidual air conditioning desires.
Temperature control - upper lever
The lever provides continuous control for the
temperature in the passenger compartment.
Shoving it to the right raises the temperature.
The value on the temperature scale corres-
ponds to an average inside temperature.
No automatic temperature control takes
place in program settings
Fan speed control - rotary switch knob
The air volume is controlled by a 4-speed fan.
When the ignition is turned on, the fan auto-
matically operates at low speed, even with the
switch in 0 position. By turning the knob clock-
wise, fan speeds 1-4 can be selected to in-
crease the air volume.
Program control - lower lever
There are several programs available in order
to a d a p t to individual n e e d s with an automati-
cally controlled air conditioner:
Supply of outside air and fan switched
off. For brief operation, e.g. when pass-
ing through disagreeable odors.
Air flow distribution only through side
window and center air vents.
and
Air flow distribution through footwell out-
lets. The side and center vents can be
opened optionally.
Air flow distribution through windshield
and footwell outlets. The side and cen-
ter vents can be opened optionally.
Air flow distribution through windshield
outlets. The side and center vents can
be opened optionally.
Automatic air flow distribution for heated
air through windshield outlets and open
side window vents. Heating system and
fan motor are automatically switched
on maximum output and high speed for
fast defrosting or defogging. At temper-
atures above 32° F/0° C the air condi-
tioner compressor switches on auto-
matically.
