f
Follow all child restraint instructions and
warnings in this manual.
– When using an infant or child restraint system,
be sure to follow all manufacturer's
instructions on installation and use.

held on the lap, nor should they share a safety
belt with another occupant while the vehicle is

can be used providing it does not cross the
face or the neck of the child.

the age and size of the child.
– Child restraint systems that are damaged or
have been heavily stressed in an accident must
be replaced immediately.

child restraints are not properly secured in
vehicle.

or cover them with other materials.

use a child restraint system in the front
passenger seat.

Using child restraint systems in the front
passenger seat
Danger!
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
air bag deployment.
To reduce risk of injury from an inflating air
bag in an accident, Porsche strongly
recommends:
f
Under all normal circumstances, the child seat
must be placed in the rear.
Do not use a child restraint system in the front
passenger seat.
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.
f
Seek appropriate advice from your authorized
Porsche dealer about the possible installation
of a Porsche child restraint system.
f
If a child restraint system must be fastened to
the passenger's seat, adjust the passenger's
seat as far away from the air bag as possible.
