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.

system recommended by Porsche.
These systems have been tested and adjusted to
the interior of your Porsche and the appropriate
child age groups. Other systems have not been
tested and could entail an increased risk of injury.
You can obtain child seats that are LATCH-compat-
ible at your authorized Porsche dealer.
fAlways observe the separate installation in-
structions for your child seat.
Installing an LATCH child seat systemMarkings on the right and left for the Isofix child
seat anchorage can be found on the backrests of
the outer rear seats.
The anchor bars A for the LATCH child seat
anchorage can be found directly under the
markings between backrest and seat cushion.
1. Secure the child seat to retaining lugs A as
outlined in the operating manual for the child
seat.

points are engaged correctly.
