vites car theft.
A steering wheel lock and a gong alarm are stan-
dard equipment in your Porsche. The gong alarm

property damage.
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the

cle. They can operate power windows and
other controls. If the engine is left running,
they may accidentally engage the shift lever.

Danger!
The seat may move unexpectedly if you at-
tempt to adjust while driving. This could
cause sudden loss of control or personal in-
jury.
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 posi-
tioned safety belts can cause serious person-
al injury or death in an accident.
fDo not operate the car with the driver or pas-senger backrests excessively reclined.
Seat positionA correct sitting position is important for safe and
fatigue-free driving. We recommend the following
procedure for adjusting the driver’s seat to suit
individual requirements:
1. Adjust the seat height to give yourself enough
headroom and a good overview of the vehicle.
2. Adjust the seat until, with the accelerator pedal
fully depressed, your leg is straight but your
entire foot still rests on the accelerator pedal.
3. Grip the top half of the steering wheel. Set the
backrest angle and steering wheel position so
that your arms are almost outstretched.
However, your shoulders must still rest on the
backrest.
4. If necessary, correct the seat fore-and-aft
adjustment.
5. Adjust the height of the headrest so that the
upper edge is at eye level or higher.

rest curvature is infinitely adjustable in vertical

Automatic locking retractorThe safety belts for the passenger and rear seats
are equipped with an automatic locking retractor
for securing the child restraint system. When acti-
vated, this retractor allows you to securely fasten
the child restraint system in place so that inadvert-
ent movements will not occur.

1. Pull the safety belt retractor completely out. At
this point the locking mechanism is activated.
2. Insert the safety belt tongue into the buckle
and make certain that it is properly latched.
3. Allow the safety belt to retract until it is tight on
the child restraint system. You may further
tighten the belt by pulling on it to allow more of
it to retract.
Releasing the safety belt
1. Unbuckle the safety belt latch.
2. Then make certain that the belt has fully re-
tracted. At this point the automatic locking fea-
ture will be disengaged.
