Adjust the seat height to give yourself enough headroom and a good overview of the vehicle.2. Adjust the seat in fore-and-aft direction so that your leg is not fully straight and your entire foot is on the pedal when pressing the pedals fully.3. Grip the top half of the steering wheel. Set the backrest angle and the steering wheel position so that your arms are almost outstretched. However, your shoulders must still rest on the backrest.4. Adjust the seat fore-and-aft setting if necessary.
Adjusting the seat
The seat may move further than desired if you attempt to adjust it when driving. You may lose control of the vehicle.fDo not adjust the seat when driving.

Safety belts
Safety belts cannot protect the body if they are not fastened. Improperly worn safety belts increase the risk of injury in the event of an accident.Always make sure your and your passengers' safety belts are properly fastened when seated in the vehicle.fFor your and your passengers' protection, use safety belts at all times while the vehicle is in motion.fUse appropriate child restraint systems for all small children.fSafety belts must be positioned on the body as to restrain the upper body and lap from sliding forward. Improperly positioned safety belts can cause serious personal injury in case of an accident.
fThe shoulder belt should always rest on your upper body. The shoulder belt should never be worn behind your back or under your arm.fFor maximum effectiveness, the lap belt should be worn low across the hips.fPregnant women should position the belt as low as possible across the pelvis. Make sure it is not pressing against the abdomen.fBelts should not be worn twisted.fDo 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.fSeveral layers of heavy clothing may interfere with proper positioning of belts.fBelts must not rub against sharp objects or damage may occur to the belt.fTwo occupants must never share the same belt at the same time.
Damaged, heavily stressed or worn safety belts cannot protect the body sufficiently in the event of an accident.fKeep belt buckles free of any obstruction that may prevent a secure locking.fBelts that have been subjected to excessive stretch forces in an accident must be inspected or replaced to ensure their continued effectiveness in restraining you.The same applies to belt tensioner systems which have been triggered. In addition, the anchor points of the belts should be checked.fIf safety belts do not work properly, see your authorized Porsche dealer immediately.fIf the belts show damage to webbing, bindings, buckles or retractors, they should be replaced to ensure safe operation.fDo not modify or disassemble the safety belts in your vehicle.fThe belts must be kept clean or the retractors may not work properly.Please see the chapter “CLEANING THE SAFETY BELTS” on page 237.fNever bleach or dye safety belts.fDo not allow safety belts to retract until they are completely dry after cleaning or this may cause damage to the belt.

Safety-belt pretensioner
Front safety belts are tightened in an accident, depending on the force of the collision.
The safety-belt pretensioners are triggered: – In the event of front and rear impact– In the event of side impact– If the vehicle turns over
Information
The safety-belt pretensioner system can be triggered only once; the system must then be replaced. Work may be carried out on the safety-belt pretensioner system only by qualified specialist employees from an authorized Porsche dealer.Smoke is released when the safety-belt pretensioners are triggered. This does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
Safety belt Warning light and warning message
An audio-visual warning system is interconnected with the driver’s safety belt.
Every time the ignition is turned on, the gong will sound for about 6 seconds to remind driver and passenger to buckle up.In addition, the gong will sound for approximately 90 seconds if vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph(24 km/h).The safety belt warning lights in the instrument panel and multi-purpose display will go off as soon as the driver has buckled up.
Fasten safety belt
1. Assume a comfortable sitting position. 2. Adjust the seat backrest so that the belt always rests on your upper body and runs across the middle of your shoulder.3. Grasp the belt tongue and pull the belt in a slow, continuous motion across your chest and lap.
Information
The belt may be blocked if the vehicle is standing at an angle or the belt is pulled out using a jerking movement.The belt cannot be pulled out while accelerating and slowing down, when cornering and when driving uphill.
4. Insert the belt tongue into the appropriate buckle on the inboard side of the seat until it locks securely with an audible click.5. Make sure that belts are not trapped or twisted and that they are not rubbing on sharp edges.6. The horizontal section of the belt should always fit snugly across the pelvis. Therefore, after fastening the belt, always pull the diagonal part of the belt upward.Pregnant women should position the belt as low as possible across the pelvis, and ensure that it is not pressing against the abdomen.7. Also pull on the diagonal section of the belt now and again during the journey to ensure that the horizontal section remains tight.

Opening belt buckle an removing belt
1.Hold the belt tongue. 2. Press the red button on the belt buckle. 3. Guide the belt tongue to approx. 7 cm below the deflection bracket of the strap reel and lock using the plastic slide ( figure). The function of the plastic slide is to hold the belt tongue in an easily accessible position.
Airbag Systems
The vehicle is equipped with airbag and lap/shoulder belt at both front seating positions. The airbag is a supplemental restraint at those seating positions.The airbags in combination with the safety belts make up a safety system which offers the driver and the passenger the greatest known protection from injuries in case of accident.Your vehicle is equipped with occupant sensing for the passenger's seat in accordance with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208.
Even if your vehicle is equipped with airbags, the safety belts must be worn at all times , because the front airbag system is only actuated by frontal collisions with an impact of sufficient severity.
Below the deployment threshold of the airbag system, and during types of collisions which do not cause the actuation of the system, the safety belts provide the primary protection to the occupants when correctly worn. Therefore, all persons within the vehicle must wear safety belts at all times (in many states, state law requires the use of safety belts) to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash.fPlease see the chapter “SAFETY BELTS” on page 36.
The front airbags are located under the padded steering wheel panel on the driver’s side, in the dashboard on the passenger's side, and in the knee area for both the driver and the passenger.The side airbags for the front seats are installed on the side in the seat backrests.The head airbags are installed in the door linings.
Information
To minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash, all occupants, including the driver, should always wear their safety belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating position.
Airbags only can offer protection, if all occupants fasten their safety belts and retain a proper sitting position.To provide optimal occupant protection, airbags must inflate at very high speed. If you are not wearing your safety belt or are too close to the airbag when it is deployed, inflating airbags can result in serious personal injury or death.fAlways fasten safety belts .fMake sure there are no people, animals or objects between the driver or passenger and the area into which the airbags inflate.
