Seats, Mirrors and Steering Wheel Danger!
The use of a child restraint system on the
front passenger seat can result in serious
personal injury or death to the child from an
airbag deployment.
To reduce risk of injury from an inflating
airbag in an accident, Porsche strongly
recommends:
fUnder all normal circumstances, the child seat
must be placed in the rear.
Do not use a child restraint system on the front
passenger seat.
fPlease see your authorized Porsche dealer for
correct Porsche Child Seat availability.
fPorsche recommends the use of a Porsche
Child Seat with Lower Anchorage and Tether for Children system (LATCH) on the rear seats.
1. Secure the child seat to retaining lugs A as
outlined in the operating manual for the child
seat.
2. Pull the child seat to check that both fastening
points are engaged correctly.
Child Restraint AnchoragesfPlease see the chapter “AUTOMATIC LOCKING
RETRACTOR” on Page 52.
If your child restraint seat or seats require the use
of a tether strap, you will want to use the anchor
points A provided behind the rear bench back-
rests.
To ensure proper installation, see your authorized
Porsche dealer.
Warning!
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adults
safety belts or harnesses. Such use could
result in serious personal injury or death.
fDo not misuse the child restraint anchorages.
Only attach one child seat tether per ancho-
rage.
fThey are not designed to withstand loads imposed by adults.

Warning!
Risk of accident due to impaired vision,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
The outside air that is flowing in is not dried
in ECON mode. The windows may mist up.
fDo not switch on ECON mode in damp weather.
In ECON mode, the air-conditioning compressor is
switched off and this deactivates the cooling
function (e.g. to save fuel).
The air-conditioning compressor is always swit-
ched off at temperatures below 37.4 °F (3 °C).

Information on air-conditioning
compressorThe air-conditioning compressor:
– May switch off briefly to ensure sufficient
engine cooling if the engine is operating under
extreme load.
– Switches off automatically at temperatures
below approx. 37.4 °F (3 °C) and cannot be
switched on, even manually.
– Operates most effectively with 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 eva-
porator and form a pool under the car.
This is normal and not a sign of leakage.
fIf uncooled air flows out when the lowest
temperature has been set (“LO”), switch off the
air-conditioning compressor and have the fault
remedied at an authorized Porsche dealer.
