Dear Porsche Owner,
A lot has gone into the manufacture of your Porsche sports car, including advanced engineering, rigid quality control and demanding inspections. These engineering and safety features will be enhanced by you…
the safe driver…
– who knows her/his car and all controls,– who maintains the vehicle properly,– who uses driving skills wisely and always drives within her/his own capabilities and the level of familiarity with the vehicle.
You will find helpful hints in this manual on how to perform most of the checks listed on the following pages. If in doubt, have these checks performed by your authorized Porsche dealer.
Before driving off…
Check the following items first
fTurn the engine off before you attempt any checks or repairs on the vehicle.fBe sure the tires are inflated correctly. Check tires for damage and tire wear.fSee that wheel bolts are properly tightened and not loose or missing.fCheck engine oil level, add if necessary. Make it a habit to check the engine oil with every refueling.fCheck all fluid levels such as windshield washer and brake fluid levels.
fBe sure the vehicle battery is well charged and cranks the engine properly.fCheck all doors and lids for proper operation and latch them properly.fCheck and if necessary replace worn or cracked wiper blades.fSee that all windows are clear and unobstructed.fCheck air intake slots and area between luggage compartment lid and windshield. Ensure that these areas are free of snow and ice, so the heater and the windshield wipers work properly.fIf a child will be riding in the vehicle, check child seat/child seat restraint system to ensure that restraints are properly adjusted.fCheck all exterior and interior lights for operation and that the lenses are clean.fCheck the headlights for proper aim, and if necessary, have them adjusted.fCheck under the vehicle for leaks.fBe sure all luggage is stowed securely.
Emergency equipment
It is good practice to carry emergency equipment in your vehicle. Some of the items you should have are: window scraper, snow brush, container or bag of sand or salt, emergency light, small shovel, first-aid kit, etc.
In the driver’s seat…
fCheck operation of the horn.fPosition seat for easy reach of foot pedals and controls. To reduce the possibility of injury from the air bag deployment, you should always sit back as far from the steering wheel as is practical, while still maintaining full vehicle control.fAdjust the inside and outside rear view mirrors.fBuckle your safety belts.fCheck operation of the foot and electric parking brake.fCheck all warning and indicator lights with ignition on and engine not running.fStart engine and check all warning displays for warning symbols.fNever leave an idling car unattended.fLock doors from inside, especially with children in the car to prevent inadvertent opening of doors from inside or outside.Drive with doors locked.

Seats, Mirrors and Steering Wheel 39
fSit back as far from the dashboard or steering wheel as is practical, while still maintaining full vehicle control.fAlways hold the steering wheel by the outer rim. Never rest your hands on the center of the steering wheel where the airbag module is located.fAlways 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.
Objects and load have to be stored securely to keep from causing injury.fDo not transport heavy objects on or in front of the passenger seat. These could impair the function of the airbags, the safety belts, and occupant sensing.fDo not hang objects (e.g., jackets, coats, coat hangers) over the backrest.fObjects must not protrude out of the door storage compartment.fDo not add any additional coverings or stickers to the steering wheel or in the area of the passenger airbag, side airbags, knee airbags, and head airbags. Doing so may adversely affect the functioning of the airbag system or cause harm to the occupants if the airbag system should deploy.Do not use protective seat covers.
fNo objects should be placed over or near the airbag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate.fGive your passenger all of the information in this chapter.
A modified airbag system cannot offer protection. They may not trigger or could trigger in an uncontrolled way. An uncontrolled triggering of the airbag system can result in serious personal injury or death.fDo not modify the seat coverings, since such changes can block the seat-mounted side airbag. Do not attach additional cushions, protective coverings, or pillows to the seats. Do not affix things to the seats or cover them with other materials. Do not cover the back of the backrest. Do not make changes to the seats, the cushion or foam, the occupant sensor, and to the seat base frame.fNo changes must be made to the wiring or components of the airbag system. Doing so may disable the airbag system or cause inadvertent inflation.fDo not install any wiring for electrical accessory equipment in the vicinity of the airbag wiring harnesses. Doing so may disable the airbag system or cause inadvertent inflation.
fIf the warning light comes on, the airbag system should be repaired immediately by your authorized Porsche dealer.fUsing accessories not approved by Porsche can cause the occupant sensing to be impaired.fDo not squeeze objects, such as the fire extinguisher, or first aid kit under the seat.fOnly have seats removed and installed by an authorized Porsche dealer so that occupant sensing components will not be damaged.
Information
Airbag components (e.g. steering wheel, door lining, seats) may be disassembled only by an authorized Porsche dealer.fWhen disposing of a used airbag unit, our safety instructions must be followed. These instructions can be obtained at any authorized Porsche dealer.
Function of the airbag system
Airbags are a supplemental safety system. Your primary protection comes from your safety belts.
The front airbags are triggered during a frontal collision of sufficient force and direction.In the event of a side impact of corresponding force, the side airbag on the impact side is triggered.

The inflation process generates the amount of gas required to fill the airbags at the necessary pressure in fractions of a second.
Airbags help to protect the head and body, while simultaneously damping the motion of the driver and passenger in the impact direction in the event of a frontal impact or side impact.
In order to help provide protection in severe collisions which can cause death and serious injury, airbags must inflate extremely rapidly. Such high speed inflation has a negative but unavoidable side effect, which is that it can and does cause injuries, including facial and arm abrasions, bruising and broken bones. You can help minimize such injuries by always wearing your safety belts.
There are many types of accidents in which airbags are not expected to deploy. These include accidents where the airbags would provide no benefit, such as a rear impact against your vehicle. Other accidents where the airbags are designed not to deploy are those where the risk of injury from the airbag deployment could exceed any protective benefits, such as in low speed accidents or higher speed accidents where the vehicle decelerates over a longer time. Since airbag deployment does not occur in all accidents, this further emphasizes the need for you and your passengers to always wear safety belts.
Your Porsche vehicle is equipped with electronically controlled systems that help to ensure your vehicle operates properly. These systems monitor the operation of various systems and electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when they need to diagnose and repair these systems.
Your vehicle is equipped with crash-sensing and diagnostic devices that may record information at the time of a collision, including whether the airbag and seatbelt pretensioners deployed and whether the safety belt was in use.
To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or feature that stores that data is required. Some states only allow access to such information under restricted circumstances, including: – In response to a request of police or other government office; or – with the consent of the registered owner, or if the vehicle is leased, with the lessee, or – through a discovery process in litigation; or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
Your rights with respect to the information discussed above may vary from state to state. Check your state law for further information.
Advanced airbag
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 and off.
Depending on the angle and force of impact, the passenger's airbag which is switched-on will be triggered during a collision.
Precondition for switching the passenger's airbag on and off, depending on weight, body positioning and shape:– Ignition is switched on.
Improper seating can unintentionally impair operation of occupant sensing of the passenger’s airbag.
If the weight of an adult on the passenger's seat is not properly maintained, the passenger's airbag may be switched off.fSelect an upright seat position, and do not support weight on the armrests or center console, or lean out of the window while driving. Always keep feet positioned on the floor in the footwell while driving. Do not put feet on the dashboard or the seat area.

Roll-Over Protection
On the Cabriolet, a roll-over protection system installed behind the rear seats is extended within fractions of a second in the event of an accident. This generates a loud noise. 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.
Risk of damage to the convertible top and roll-over protection when opening and closing the convertible top.
Extended roll-over protection will obstruct the movement of the convertible top.fDo not open or close the convertible top with the roll-over protection extended.
A roll-over protection system that has been tampered with or obstructed in its movement may malfunction, resulting in serious or fatal injury.
A roll-over protection system that has been tampered with does not offer any protection. It may be triggered inadvertently, or not respond when needed. fDo not modify the wiring or components of the roll-over protection system.fKeep body parts and objects out of the area of movement of the extendable assemblies.fDo not open the covers of the extendable assemblies.fMake sure that no water or cleaning agents get into the roll-over protection system when cleaning the vehicle.
fIf the roll-over protection system is in any way faulty, please contact an authorized Porsche dealer to do this work.
Information
