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.

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 ob-
jects in or on your clothing, such as eye glass-
es, 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.

in your vehicle.fThe belts must be kept clean or the retractors 
may not work properly.

STRUCTIONS” on Page 284.
fNever bleach or dye safety belts.
fDo not allow safety belts to retract until they 
are completely dry after cleaning or this may 
cause damage to the belt.
