Child Restraint Equipment
Porsche recommends that all infants and children
be restrained in child restraint systems at all times
while the vehicle is in motion in accordance with
applicable laws.
When possible, use only child restraint systems
recommended by Porsche. 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.
The use of infant or child restraints is required by
law in all 50 US states and the Canadian
provinces. The child restraint system should be
one that complies with U.S. Federal/Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and should be
secured by a lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt
or for child seats equipped with the LATCH system
(

known as ISOFIX) to the LATCH anchorages.
All child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lapbelts or the lapbelt
portion of a lap-shoulder belt.
You can obtain child seats that are LATCH
compatible at your authorized Porsche dealer.
f
Always observe the separate installation
instructions for your child seat.
Children could be endangered in a crash if their
child restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle.
f
Make sure that all child restraints are properly
secured.
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
passenger’s 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:
