Seats, Mirrors and Steering Wheel Danger!
To provide optimal occupant protection, air
bags must inflate at very high speed. If you
are not wearing your safety belt or are too
close to the air bag when it is deployed,
inflating air bags can result in serious
personal injury or death.
f Make sure there are no people, animals or
objects between the driver or passenger and
the area into which the air bags inflate.
f Sit back as far from the dashboard or steering
wheel as is practical, while still maintaining full
vehicle control.
f Always hold the steering wheel by the outer
rim. Never rest your hands on the air bag
panel.
f Always fasten seat belts because triggering
of the air bag system depends on the force
and angle of impact.
f Do not transport heavy objects on or in front of
the passenger seat. These could impair the
function of the air bags, the seat belts, and
occupant sensing.
f Do not hang objects (e. g., jackets, coats,
coat hangers) over the backrest. f
Always keep the lid of the door storage
compartment closed. Objects must not
protrude out of the door storage
compartment.
f Do not add any additional coverings or stickers
to the steering wheel or in the area of the
passenger air bag, side air bags, knee air
bags, and head air bags. Doing so may
adversely affect the functioning of the air bag
system or cause harm to the occupants if the
air bag system should deploy.
f No objects should be placed over or near the
air bag on the instrument panel, because any
such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is
in a crash severe enough to cause the air bag
to inflate.
f Do not modify the seat coverings, since such
changes can block the seat-mounted side air
bag. Do not attach additional cushions,
protective coverings, or pillows to the
passenger's seat. Do not affix things to the
passenger's seat or cover it with other
materials. Do not cover the back of the
backrest. Do not make changes to the
passenger's seat, the cushion or foam, the
occupant sensor, and to the seat base frame.
f No changes must be made to the wiring or
components of the air bag system.
f Do not install any wiring for electrical
accessory equipment in the vicinity of the air
bag wiring harnesses. Doing so may disable the air bag system or cause inadvertent
inflation.
f If the warning light comes on, the air bag
system should be repaired immediately by
your authorized Porsche dealer.
f Always keep feet in the footwell while driving.
Do not put feet on the dashboard or the seat
area. Do not lean against the inside of the door
or outside the window while the vehicle is
moving.
f Using accessories not approved by Porsche
can cause the occupant sensing to be
impaired.
f Do not squeeze objects, such as the fire
extinguisher, or first aid kit under the seat.
f Only have seats removed and installed by an
authorized Porsche dealer so that occupant
sensing components will not be damaged.
f Give your passenger all of the information in
this chapter.
Note
Air bag components (e.g. steering wheel, seats)
may be disassembled only by an authorized
Porsche dealer.
f When disposing of a used air bag unit, our
safety instructions must be followed. These
instructions can be obtained at any authorized
Porsche dealer.
