Information
If a child seat with top tether is adapted for use on the front seat, do not use Toptether in the rear.
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.

Child restraint system for children older than one year
Your vehicle is equipped with occupant sensing for the passenger's seat in accordance with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208. Depending on the weight, body positioning and shape acting on the passenger's seat, the passenger's airbag will automatically be switched on or off.fIn case of doubt, fasten the child restraint system on the rear bench.
Small adult passengers
fMake sure that the PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp does not light up.
When the ignition is on and the small adult passenger is seated on the passenger seat, the indicator lamp “PASS AIR BAG OFF” must be off.
If the “PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator lamp lights up, it could indicate a fault in the system.In this case:fHave the fault remedied at your nearest authorized Porsche dealer.
Automatic locking retractor
The safety belts for the front passenger and rear seats are equipped with an automatic locking retractor for securing the child restraint system. When activated, this retractor allows you to securely fasten the child restraint system in place so that inadvertent movements will not occur.
The use of a child restraint system on 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:fUnder all normal circumstances, the child seat must be placed in the rear. Do not use a child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
If there are emergency reasons for transporting a child in the front passenger seat, use a child restraint seat and the automatic locking retractor function. Follow the other safety instructions on the previous pages in this section.
PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
fAfter fastening the child restraint system, do not adjust the seat in any direction.
Moving the seat could adjust the safety belt against the child restraint and cause the “PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator lamp to go off and activate the airbag system.fCheck the condition of the passenger airbag system shown by the indicator lamp in the overhead operating console.

These systems have been tested and adjusted to the interior of your Porsche and the appropriate child weight groups. Other systems have not been tested and could entail an increased risk of injury.
You can obtain child seats that are LATCH- compatible at your authorized Porsche dealer.
Always observe the separate installation instructions for your child seat.Using a LATCH child seat system
