General instructions for 

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. 37°F/3°C and cannot be 

switched on, even manually.

– Operates most effectively with the 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.

– Depending on the outside temperature and 

humidity, 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 and the air conditioning com-

pressor has been switched on, switch off the air-

conditioning compressor and consult with an 

authorized Porsche dealer.
