Seat Belts
Correct use of seat belts
DANGER
Unfastened or incor-
rectly used seatbelts
A seatbelt that is not fastened will not provide any
protection in the event of an accident. A seatbelt
that is not fastened correctly can increase the risk of
injury in the event of an accident.
e All occupants must always fasten their seatbelts
before the start of a journey.
e Never allow two people to use the same seatbelt
at the same time.
e Remove any loose articles of clothing (e.g. jack-
et), as they can interfere with the correct posi-
tion of the seatbelt and restrict your freedom of
movement.
e
Do not position seatbelts across hard or fragile
objects (e.g. glasses, ball-point pen, cellphone,
etc.).
Objects of this kind pose an additional risk of
injury.
e Make sure that the seatbelts are not twisted or
loose.
e Also provide your passengers with all the infor-
mation in this section.
e Use appropriate child restraint systems for all
children.
e Seatbelts must be positioned on the body as to
restrain the upper body and lap from sliding for-
ward. Improperly positioned seatbelts can cause
serious personal injury in case of an accident.
e The shoulder belt should always rest on your
upper body. The shoulder belt should never be
worn behind your back or under your arm.
e For maximum effectiveness, the lap belt should
be worn low across the hips.
e Pregnant women should position the seatbelt as
low as possible across the pelvis. Make sure it is
not pressing against the abdomen.
e
Seatbelts must not rub against sharp objects or
damage may occur to the belt.
DANGER
Using damaged
seatbelts
Damaged or heavily worn seatbelts will not provide
adequate protection in the event of an accident.
The seatbelt pretensioner system may only be trig-
gered once; it must then be replaced.
e Regularly check all seatbelts for fabric damage
and check that the belt buckle and attachment
points are in good working order.
e The seatbelts must be kept clean or the retrac-
tors may not work properly.
e Immediately replace any seatbelts that are dam-
aged or have been subjected to heavy strain
during an accident along with triggered seatbelt
pretensioner systems and force limiters.
e
In addition, you should have the anchorage
points of the seatbelts checked.
Go to a qualified specialized repair shop. Porsche
recommends an authorized Porsche dealer, as
they have trained technicians and the necessary
parts and tools.
e The seatbelt pretensioner system can be trig-
gered only once. Triggered belt tensioner sys-
tems must be replaced.
e Keep belt buckles free of any obstruction that
may prevent secure locking.
e If the seatbelts show damage to webbing, bind-
ings, buckles or retractors, they should be re-
placed to ensure safe operation.
e
Do not modify or disassemble the seatbelts in
your vehicle.
e
Never bleach or dye seatbelts.
e
Do not allow seatbelts to retract until they are
completely dry after cleaning or this may cause
damage to the belt.
> Please see chapter "Cleaning the seat belts" on
page 83.
Seat-belt pretensioners
Whether the seat-belt pretensioner system is trig-
gered or not depends on the severity of the accident.
The seat-belt pretensioners can be triggered during:
– Frontal and rear collisions.
– Side impacts.
– Vehicle rollover.
Information
Smoke may be released when the seatbelt preten-
sioners are triggered. This does not necessarily mean
that the vehicle is on fire.
