Maintenance Notes
The belt tensioner system can be triggered only
once; the system must be replaced afterwards.
If there is a fault in the belt tensioner system, the
airbag warning light lights up.
Work may be performed on the belt tensioner
system only by an authorized Porsche dealer.
Smoke is released when the belt tensioners are
triggered.
This does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
An audio-visual warning system is interconnec-
ted 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 approx.
90 seconds if vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph/
24 km/h.
The safety belt warning lights in the instrument pa-
nel and multi-purpose display will go off as soon as
the driver has buckled up.
Fastening the safety beltfAssume a comfortable sitting position.
Adjust the backrest of the front seat so that the
belt always rests on your upper body and runs
across the middle of your shoulder.
fGrasp the belt tongue and pull the belt in a
slow, continuous motion across your chest and
lap.Note on operation
The belt can be blocked if the vehicle is standing
at an angle or if the belt is pulled out using a
jerking movement.
fThe belt cannot be pulled out while accelera-
ting and slowing down, when cornering and
when driving uphill.
fInsert the belt tongue into the appropriate
buckle on the inboard side of the seat, until it
locks securely with an audible click.
fMake sure that belts are not trapped or twis-
ted, and that they are not rubbing on sharp
edges.
fThe horizontal section of the belt should al-
ways fit snugly across the pelvis. Therefore, af-
ter fastening the belt, always pull the diagonal
part of the belt upwards.
Pregnant women should position the belt as
low as possible across the pelvis, and ensure
that it is not pressing against the abdomen.
fPull on the diagonal section of the belt now and
again during the journey to ensure that the
horizontal section remains tight.

Airbag SystemsThe 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 weight sensing for
the passenger's seat in accordance with
U.S. Federal/Canadian 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 se-
verity.
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).
fPlease see the chapter “SAFETY BELTS” on
Page 42.
The front airbags are located under the padded
steering wheel panel on the driver’s side and, on
the passenger's side, in the dashboard.
The side airbags for the front seats are installed
on the side in the seat backrests.
The head airbags are installed above the doors
in the roof area.
Danger!
To provide optimal occupant protection, air-
bags 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, infla-
ting airbags can result in serious personal in-
jury or death.
Improper handling of weight sensing can
unintentionally impair switching the
passenger's airbag off and on.
fMake sure there are no people, animals or ob-
jects between the driver or passenger and the
area into which the airbag inflates.
fSit back as far from the dashboard or steering
wheel as is practical, while still maintaining full
vehicle control.
fAlways hold the steering wheel by the outer
rim. Never rest your hands on the airbag panel.
fAlways fasten seat belts because triggering
of the airbag system depends on the force and
angle of impact.
fDo not transport heavy objects on or in front of
the passenger seat. These could impair the
function of the airbag, the seat belts, and
weight sensing.
fDo not hang objects (e.g., jackets, coats, coat
hangers) over the backrest.fAlways keep the lid of the door storage com-
partment closed. Objects must not protrude
out of the door storage compartment.
The storage compartment must be closed
while driving.
fNo changes must be made to the wiring or
components of the airbag system.
fDo not add any additional coverings or stickers
to the steering wheel or in the area of the
passenger airbag, side airbags and head
airbags. Doing so may adversely affect the
functioning of the airbag system or cause
harm to the occupants if the airbag system
should deploy.
Do not use protective seat covers.
fDo not modify the seat coverings. Do not
attach additional cushions, protective
coverings, or pillows to the passenger's seat.
Do not affix things to the passenger's seat or
cover it with other materials. Do not cover the
back of the backrest. Do not make changes to
the passenger's seat and to the seat base
frame.
fDo not undertake any wiring for electrical ac-
cessory equipment in the vicinity of the airbag
wiring harnesses. Doing so may disable the
airbag system or cause inadvertent inflation.
fIf the warning light comes on, the airbag
system should be repaired immediately by
your authorized Porsche dealer.

Faults are indicated by a warning light on the
tachometer.
fIn the following cases you should immedi-
ately consult an authorized Porsche
dealer in order to assure the airbag
system is functioning properly:
– If the warning light does not light up when the
ignition is switched on or
– If the warning light does not go out once the
engine is running or
– If the warning light appears while driving.
Airbag maintenanceIn order to ensure long-term functioning, the air-
bag system must be inspected by an authorized
Porsche dealer at the intervals recommended in
your Maintenance Booklet.
Important information
If you sell your Porsche, notify the purchaser that
the vehicle is equipped with airbags, and refer
them to the chapter, “Airbag Systems”, in the
owner's manual (safety and disposal rules).
Further information on the airbag system can be
found on stickers attached to the sun visors, as
well as on all airbag components.
For special recommendations on the use of child
restraints:
fPlease see the chapter “CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS” on Page 49.
Child Restraint SystemsPorsche 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.
fPorsche recommends the use of L.A.T.C.H.
(Lower Anchorage and Tether for Children)
equipped Porsche child seat.
Use only child restraint systems with the LATCH-
system recommended by Porsche. These sys-
tems 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.
You can obtain child seats that are LATCH
compatible at your authorized Porsche dealer.
fAlways observe the separate installation
instructions for your child seat.
The use of infant or child restraints is required by
law in all 50 US states and the Canadian provin-
ces. The child restraint system should be one that
complies with U.S. Federal/Canadian Motor Vehic-
le Safety Standards and should be secured by a
lap belt or lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt or
for child seats equipped with the LATCH sytem
(Lower Anchorage and Tether for Children, also
known as ISOFIX) to the LATCH anchorages.
A statement by the seat manufacturer of
compliance with this standard can be found on the
instruction label on the restraint and in the
instruction manual provided with the restraint.
