Safety belts
WARNING
Failure to follow safety belt instructions may
result in serious personal injury.
Instructions
• For your and your passengers' protec-
tion, use safety belts at all times while
the vehicle is in motion. Use appropriate
child restraint systems for all small child-
ren.
• Safety belts must be properly positioned
on the body. Improperly positioned safety
belts can cause serious personal injury in
case of an accident.
• For maximum effectiveness, the lap belt
should be worn low across the hips.
• Belts should not be worn twisted.
• Do not wear belts over rigid or breakable
objects in or on your clothing, such as
eye glasses, pens, keys, etc. as these
may cause injury.
• Several layers of heavy clothing may in-
terfere with proper positioning of belts.
• Belts must not rub against sharp objects.
• Keep belt buckles free of any obstruction
that may prevent secure locking.
• Make sure that belt of the unoccupied
passenger seat is fully wound up on its
retractor so that the belt tongue is in its
stowed position.
• Belts that have been subjected to excessive
stretch forces in an accident must
be replaced.
• If belts show damage to webbing, bind-
ings, buckles or retractors, they should
be replaced.
• If belts do not work properly, see your
authorized Porsche dealer.
• Do not modify or disassemble the safety
belts in your vehicle.
• The belts must be kept clean as other-
wise the retractors may not work prop-
erly (see also "Car care instructions").
• Never bleach or dye safety belts.
• Do not allow safety belts to retract until
they are completely dry.
Safety belt warning system
An audio-visuel warning system is intercon-
nected with the driver's safety belt.
Every time the ignition is turned on, the seat
belt warning light in the instrument cluster will
come on for about 6 seconds as a reminder to
buckle up. The gong will sound for the duration
of this 6 second period or go off as soon as the
driver has buckled up.
