Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,
backrest and side bolsters.
On request, we can equip all our seats
with seat ventilation (only in conjunction
with seat heating). A slipstream effect is produced by active ventilation of the

perforated seat centre and backrest and
by passive aeration at the side bolsters.
This evaporates perspiration moisture
and therefore makes for a dry and
pleasant seating environment, even in
hot weather.

Child seats.
A Boxster should be enjoyed by passen -
gers of all ages. ISOFIX child seat
preparation is available as an option and
includes a deactivation function for the
