In the driver's seat...fCheck operation of the horn.
fPosition seat for easy reach of foot pedals and
controls.To reduce the possibility of injury from
the airbag deployment, you should always sit
back as far from the steering wheel as is
practical, while still maintaining full vehicle
control.
fAdjust the headrest so that the upper edge of
the headrest is brought to eye level or higher.
fAdjust the inside and outside rear view mirrors.
fBuckle your safety belts.
fCheck operation of the foot and parking brake.
fCheck all warning and indicator lights with
ignition on and engine not running.
fStart engine and check all warning displays for
warning symbols.
fNever leave an idling car unattended.
fLock doors from inside, especially with
children in the car to prevent inadvertent
opening of doors from inside or outside. Drive
with doors locked.
On the road...fNever drive after you have consumed alcohol
or drugs.
fAlways have your safety belt fastened.
fAlways drive defensively.
Expect the unexpected.
fUse signals to indicate turns and lane changes.
fTurn on headlights at dusk or when the driving
conditions warrant it.
fAlways keep a safe distance from the vehicle in
front of you, depending on traffic, road and
weather conditions.
fReduce speed at night and during inclement
weather.
Driving in wet weather requires caution and
reduced speeds, particularly on roads with
standing water, as the handling characteristics
of the vehicle may be impaired due to hydropla-
ning of the tires.
fAlways observe speed limits and obey road
signs and traffic laws.
fWhen tired, get well off the road, stop and take
a rest. Turn the engine off. Do not sit in the
vehicle with engine idling.
Please see the chapter “ENGINE EXHAUST” on
Page 2.fWhen parked, always put the parking brake on
and put the gearshift lever in neutral or the
Tiptronic selector lever in position P.
On hills also turn the front wheels toward the
curb.
fWhen emergency repairs become necessary,
move the vehicle well off the road. Turn on the
emergency flasher and use other warning
devices to alert other motorists. Do not park
or operate the vehicle in areas where the hot
exhaust system may come in contact with dry
grass, brush, spilled fuel or other flammable
material.
fMake it a habit to have the engine oil checked
with every refueling.

Seats, Mirrors and Steering Wheel
Seat and Headrest
Danger!
The seat may move unexpectedly if you
attempt to adjust while driving. This could
cause sudden loss of control, resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
fDo not adjust seats while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.The backrest locks must be engaged at all
times while the vehicle is in motion.
Safety belts only offer protection when the
backrest is upright and the belts are properly
positioned on the body.
Improperly positioned safety belts or safety
belts worn by passengers in an excessively
reclined position can cause serious personal
injury or death in an accident.
fDo not operate the car with the driver or pas-
senger backrests excessively reclined.
Please see the chapter “SEAT POSITION” on
Page 36.
fPorsche recommends the use of L.A.T.C.H.
(Lower Anchorage and Tether for Children)
equipped Porsche child seats.
Risk of injury if persons or animals are in the
movement range of the seat during seat ad-
justment.
fAdjust the seat so that no-one is put a risk.Your vehicle is equipped with a total of five head-
rests in the backrests of the front and rear seats.
The height of the headrests in the front and back
seats is adjustable. All headrests are removable.
All occupants, including the driver, should not
operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the
headrests and backrests are placed in their pro-
per positions so that the risk of neck injuries is
minimized in the event of a crash.
For proper positioning and operation of the head-
rest, the backrest’s inclination should be adjusted
such that the headrest is in an upright position.
Driver and passengers should be seated upright
and in the center of their seats.
Adjusting headrests
Danger!
Improperly positioned headrests can cause
serious personal injury or death in an acci-
dent.
fAdjust the headrest so that the upper edge of
the headrest is brought to eye level or higher.
fDo not drive the vehicle without the headrest in place and properly adjusted.
Example: driver’s seatRaising
fPush headrest upwards until the desired
position is reached.
Additionally press button B on the outer rear
seat headrests.
Push the middle rear headrest upwards into its
locked position.
