Safety Belts
Danger!
Always make sure your and your passengers'
safety belts are properly fastened while the
vehicle is in motion.
Failure to follow safety belt warnings may re-
sult in serious personal injury or death.
fFor your and your passengers' protection, use
safety belts at all times while the vehicle is in
motion.
fUse appropriate child restraint systems for all
small children.
Proper wearing of safety belts
fS a f e t y b e l t s m u s t b e p o s i t i o n e d o n t h e b o d y a s
to restrain the upper body and lap from sliding
forward. Improperly positioned safety belts
can cause serious personal injury in case of an
accident.
fThe shoulder belt should always rest on your
upper body. The shoulder belt should never be
worn behind your back or under your arm.
fFor maximum effectiveness, the lap belt
should be worn low across the hips.
fPregnant women should position the belt as
low as possible across the pelvis. Make sure it
is not pressing against the abdomen.
fBelts should not be worn twisted.fDo not wear belts over rigid or breakable
objects in or on your clothing, such as eye
glasses, pens, keys, etc. as these may cause
injury.
fSeveral layers of heavy clothing may interfere
with proper positioning of belts.
fBelts must not rub against sharp objects or
damage may occur to the belt.
fTwo occupants should never share the same
belt at the same time.
Care and maintenance
fKeep belt buckles free of any obstruction that
may prevent a secure locking.
fBelts that have been subjected to excessive
stretch forces in an accident must be inspec-
ted or replaced to ensure their continued effec-
tiveness in restraining you.
The same applies to belt tensioner systems
which have been triggered. In addition, the
anchor points of the belts should be checked.
fIf safety belts do not work properly, see your
authorized Porsche dealer immediately.
fI f t h e b e l t s s h o w d a m a g e t o w e b b i n g , b i n d i n g s ,
buckles or retractors, they should be replaced
to ensure safe operation.
fDo not modify or disassemble the safety belts
in your vehicle.fThe belts must be kept clean or the retractors
may not work properly.
Please see the chapter “CAR CARE
INSTRUCTIONS” on Page 270.
fNever bleach or dye safety belts.
fDo not allow safety belts to retract until they
are completely dry after cleaning or this may
cause damage to the belt.
Belt tensionerDepending on the force of a collision, fastened
seat belts are automatically tightened in an
accident.
The belt tensioners are triggered in:
– Front and rear impacts of sufficient severity
– Side impacts (only belt tensioners of the front
seats are triggered)
– In cases of vehicle rollover

Maintenance Notes
The belt tensioner system can be triggered only
once; the system must be replaced afterwards.
If there is a fault in the belt tensioner system, the
airbag warning light lights up.
Work may be performed on the belt tensioner
system only by an authorized Porsche dealer.
Smoke is released when the belt tensioners are
triggered.
This does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
An audio-visual warning system is interconnec-
ted with the driver’s safety belt.
Every time the ignition is turned on, the gong will
sound for about 6 seconds to remind driver and
passenger to buckle up.
In addition, the gong will sound for approx.
90 seconds if vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph/
24 km/h.
The safety belt warning lights in the instrument pa-
nel and multi-purpose display will go off as soon as
the driver has buckled up.
Fastening the safety beltfAssume a comfortable sitting position.
Adjust the backrest of the front seat so that the
belt always rests on your upper body and runs
across the middle of your shoulder.
fGrasp the belt tongue and pull the belt in a
slow, continuous motion across your chest and
lap.Note on operation
The belt can be blocked if the vehicle is standing
at an angle or if the belt is pulled out using a
jerking movement.
fThe belt cannot be pulled out while accelera-
ting and slowing down, when cornering and
when driving uphill.
fInsert the belt tongue into the appropriate
buckle on the inboard side of the seat, until it
locks securely with an audible click.
fMake sure that belts are not trapped or twis-
ted, and that they are not rubbing on sharp
edges.
fThe horizontal section of the belt should al-
ways fit snugly across the pelvis. Therefore, af-
ter fastening the belt, always pull the diagonal
part of the belt upwards.
Pregnant women should position the belt as
low as possible across the pelvis, and ensure
that it is not pressing against the abdomen.
fPull on the diagonal section of the belt now and
again during the journey to ensure that the
horizontal section remains tight.
