From Loren at RennTech :

The preselected temperature is controlled automatically. The interior temperature and air flow can be adjusted manually via two pushbuttons. The changes are shown in the display. Information from the outside temperature sensors, interior temperature sensor and the sun sensor is processed to regulate the interior temperature. The system can respond to rapid changes in the outside temperature and also takes into account that the intensity of sunlight has a major influence on the subjective temperature perception of passengers.

And from the 987 brochure :

As an optional alternative, you
can specify your car with a fully
automatic air conditioning system.
By means of a solar sensor,
the system additionally compensates
for the effects of ambient
light.
