Automatic locking retractorThe safety belts for the front passenger and the
rear bench are equipped with an automatic locking
retractor for securing the child restraint system.
When activated, this retractor allows you to
securely fasten the child restraint system in place
so that inadvertent movements will not occur.
Danger!
The use of a child restraint system on the
front passenger 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:
fUnder all normal circumstances, the child seat
must be placed in the rear.
Do not use a child restraint system on the front passenger seat.However, there may be serious situations where it
might be necassary to place a child in the front
seat so that he/she can be kept under direct ob-
servation to prevent an immediate risk to the child
(for example, while driving to the doctor or hospi-
tal). The following instructions are provided to you
solely for that purpose.
fSeek appropriate advice from your authorized
Porsche dealer about the possible installation
of a Porsche child restraint system.
fIf a child restraint system must be fastened to
the passenger's seat, adjust the passenger's
seat as far away from the airbag as possible.
Before transporting a child on the passenger seat:
fPlease see the chapter “CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS” on Page 49.
fIf emergency or other serious conditions
require a child to be placed in the front seat,
exercise extreme caution and defensive dri-
ving of your vehicle. You must recognize that
any substantial frontal impact could result in
the deployment of the passenger airbag, which
coluld lead to serious injury or death of the
child.

this point the locking mechanism is activated.
4. Insert the safety belt tongue into the buckle
and make certain that it is properly latched.
Make no more adjustments to the seat.
5. Allow the safety belt to retract until it is tight on
the child restraint system. You may further
tighten the belt by pulling on it to allow more of

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.
Always observe the separate installation instruc-
tions for your child seat.
