A statement by the seat manufacturer of compliance with this federal standard can be found on the instruction label on the restraint and in the instruction manual provided with the restraint.
The use of a child restraint system in the front passenger’s seat can result in serious personal injury or death to the child from an airbag deployment.

Using child restraint systems in the front passenger seat
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 airbag in an accident, Porsche strongly recommends:fPlease see the chapter “PASS AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR LAMP DOES NOT LIGHT UP” on page 42.
However, there may be serious situations where it might be necessary to place a child in the front seat so that he/she can be kept under direct observation to prevent an immediate risk to the child (for example, while driving to the doctor or hospital). The following instructions are provided to you solely for that purpose.fSeek appropriate advice from your authorized Porsche dealer about the possible installation of a Porsche child restraint system.fIf a child restraint system must be fastened to the passenger's seat, adjust the passenger's seat as far away from the airbag as possible.fIf emergency or other serious conditions require a child to be placed in the front seat, exercise extreme caution and defensive driving of your vehicle.
Child restraint system for up to one-year old children
If the child restraint system must be fastened to the passenger’s seat in exceptional cases:– When an up to one-year old child is seated in the child restraint system, the front airbag is automatically deactivated on the passenger side.fMake sure that the “PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator lamp lights up.fAdjust the passenger’s seat as far away from the airbag as possible.
When the ignition is on and the up to one-year old child is seated in the child restraint system on the passenger seat the indicator lamp “PASS AIR BAG OFF” must be on.
If the “PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator lamp does not light up, it could indicate a fault in the system, and the airbag could inflate in a collision, placing the child at risk of death or severe injury from the inflating airbag.In this case:fChild restraint systems facing forwards: Install on the rear seats.fChild restraint systems facing rearwards: Do not drive with a rearward facing child restraint system.fHave the fault remedied at your nearest authorized Porsche dealer.

If necessary, the seat-belt tensioners for the front seats will be activated.fPlease see the chapter “SAFETY-BELT PRETENSIONER” on page 37.
The roll-over protection system consists of two extendable assemblies which, together with the windshield frame, ensure sufficient headroom for all occupants if the vehicle rolls over.
