How to avoid damaging the vehicle
►
The vehicle’s sensitive seat covers may be damaged.
►
Use Porsche Tequipment vehicle seat protectors. These are available
separately.
Risk of injury due to over-long belt lock
The position of the belt lock affects the protective function of the child
seat.
►
Select a different vehicle seat if the seat belt lock is in or in front of
the dark-green belt guide.
►
If in doubt, contact your retailer.
Use in the vehicle
Risk of injury during use
The temperature in a vehicle can rise to dangerous levels quickly. In
addition, it is dangerous to step out of the vehicle from the side facing
the street.
►
Never leave a child unsupervised in the vehicle.
►
Only allow the child to board and disembark on the footpath-side.
►
On long journeys, take regular breaks in order to give your child
chance to move and play.
Risk of injury from slack straps
Slack straps are areas of the seat belt that lie loosely against the child’s
body. Slack straps have a negative impact on the protective function.
►
Check straps are tight and
not
twisted.
►
Avoid thick clothing under the belt.
Risk of injury from unsecured objects
In the case of an emergency stop or accident, unsecured objects or
people may cause injury to other occupants in the vehicle.
►
Never
secure your child by holding them tightly on your lap.
►
Secure the backrests of the vehicle seats (e.g. engage foldable rear).
►
Secure all heavy or sharp-edged objects in the vehicle (e.g. on the
parcel shelf).
►
Do not place objects in the foot well.
►
Ensure that everyone in the vehicle has their seatbelts fastened.
►
Ensure that the product is always secured when it is in the vehicle,
even if no child is being transported.
Risk of injury from unsecured child
If the child causes the vehicle seat belt lock to open, in the event of an
emergency stop or an accident there is a risk of serious or even fatal
injuries.
►
Stop safely as soon as this is possible.
►
Ensure that the child seat is correctly fastened.
►
Ensure that your child is buckled up correctly.
►
Explain the consequences and dangers to the child.

The seat cover is an integral safety component of the child seat. If the
seat cover is not used, this may lead to serious or even fatal injuries.
