Never invite car theft!An unlocked car with the key in the ignition lock in-
vites car theft.
A steering wheel lock and a gong alarm are
standard equipment in your Porsche. The gong
alarm will sound if you open the driver's door while
the key is still in the ignition lock. It is your remind-
er to pull the key out of the ignition lock and to lock
the doors.
Warning!
Any uncontrolled movement of the vehicle
may result in serious personal injury and
property damage.
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the
key in the ignition lock, especially if children
and/or pets are left unattended in the vehi-
cle. They can operate power windows and
other controls. If the engine is left running,
they may accidentally engage the shift lever.
fAlways remove the ignition key.
fAlways set the parking brake.
fLock the doors with the key or with the remote control.

move the key while you are driving or as the

Front seats
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.
Adjusting the seatA Front seat height adjustment.
B Rear seat height adjustment.
C Fore and aft adjustment.
D Backrest angle adjustment.
E Lumbar support adjustment.
To permit a relaxed sitting posture, the back-
rest curvature is infinitely adjustable in vertical
and horizontal directions for individual pelvis
and spinal column support.
fPress the switch in the direction indicated by
the arrows until the desired setting is reached.

Belt tensionerDepending on the force of a collision, fastened
seat belts are automatically tightened in an acci-
dent.
The belt tensioners are triggered in:
– Front and rear impacts
– Side impacts (only belt tensioners of the front
seats are triggered)
Maintenance note
The belt tensioner system can be triggered only
once; the system must be replaced afterwards.
If there is a fault in the belt tensioner system, the
airbag warning light lights up.
Work may be performed on the belt tensioner
system only by an authorized Porsche dealer.
Smoke is released when the belt tensioners are
triggered.
This does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.An audio-visual warning system is interconnect-
ed with the driver’s safety belt.
Every time the ignition is turned on, the gong will
sound for about 6 seconds to remind driver and
passenger to buckle up.
In addition, the gong will sound if vehicle speed
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The safety belt warning lights in the instrument
panel and multi-purpose display will go off as soon
as the driver has buckled up.
