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
fSafety belts must be positioned on the body as
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 inspect-
ed 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 an-
chor points of the belts should be checked.
fIf safety belts do not work properly, see your
authorized Porsche dealer immediately.

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-

Child Restraint SystemsPorsche recommends that all infants and children
be restrained in child restraint systems at all times
while the vehicle is in motion in accordance with
applicable laws.
The use of infant or child restraints is required by
law in all 50 states and the Canadian provinces.
The child restraint system should be one that com-
plies with U.S. Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards 213 and should be secured by a
lap belt or lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt or
for child seats equipped with the LATCH sytem
(Lower A
nchorage and T
ether for Ch
ildren, also
known as ISOFIX) to the LATCH anchorages.
A statement by the seat manufacturer of compli-
ance with this standard can be found on the in-
struction label on the restraint and in the instruc-
tion manual provided with the restraint.
Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death to the
child.
fFollow all child restraint instructions and warnings in this manual.
– When using an infant or child restraint system,
be sure to follow all manufacturer's instruc-
tions on installation and use.
– Infants and small children should never be held
on the lap, nor should they share a safety belt
with another occupant while the vehicle is in
motion.
– Children too big for child restraint systems
should use regular safety belts. A shoulder belt
can be used providing it does not cross the
face or the neck of the child.
– For maximum safety and protection, do not
use a child restraint system in the front passen-
ger seat.
Danger!
The use of a child restraint system in 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 air-
bag in an accident, Porsche strongly recom-
mends:
fDo not use a child restraint system in the front passenger seat.
Rearward facing child restraint system:
fUse only in the rear seat. Must not ever be
used in the front.
Forward facing child restraint system:
fUse only in the rear seat. Must not ever be
used in the front.

ible at your authorized Porsche dealer.

structions for your child seat.
