The seat may move unexpectedly if you
attempt to adjust while driving. This could
cause sudden loss of control, resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
f Do not adjust seats while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.The backrest locks must be engaged at all
times while the vehicle is in motion.
Safety belts only offer protection when the
backrest is upright and the belts are properly
positioned on the body.
Improperly positioned sa fety belts or safety
belts worn by passengers in an excessively
reclined position can cause serious personal
injury or death in an accident.
f Do not operate the car with the driver or
passenger backrests excessively reclined.
f Please see the chapter “SEAT POSITION” on
page 38.
Danger of injury if pe rsons or animals are in
the movement range of the seat during seat
adjustment.
f Adjust the seat so that no-one is put at risk.
f Do not activate the comf ort memory button if
there is any risk of the seat crushing the
occupant. f
Cancel automatic adjustment by pressing any
of the seat adjustment buttons.
f Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended,

f Adjust the seat so that the s e a t b a c k re s t i s n o t in contact with any other object.
The driver, front, and back passenger seats
provide integrated head restraints in the
backrests. The head restraints are not adjustable. Warning!
All occupants, including the driver, should not
operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the
head restraints and backrests, respectively, are
placed in their proper posi tions so that the risk of
neck injuries is minimize d in the event of a crash.
For a proper positioning of the head restraint, the
seatback’s inclination should be adjusted such
that the head restraint is in an upright position.
Driver and passengers should be seated upright
and in the center of their seats.
Seat positionAn ergonomically correct sitting position is
important for safe and fatigue-free driving. We
recommend the following procedure for adjusting
the driver’s seat to suit individual requirements:
1. Adjust the seat until, with your left foot on the footrest, your left leg remains at a slight angle.
2. Rest your outstretched arm on the steering wheel. Set the backrest angle and the steering-
wheel position so that your wrist rests on the
outer rim of the steering wheel. At the same
time, the shoulders must still be in noticeable
contact with the backrest.
3. Adjust the seat height to give yourself enough headroom and a good overview of the vehicle.
4. Electrically adjustable seat: Adjust the seat angle until your thighs rest
lightly on the seat cushion.

Automatic locking retractorThe safety belts for the front passenger and the
rear seats 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
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 on the front passenger seat.
If there are emergency reasons for transporting a
child in the front pa ssenger seat, use the
automatic locking retracto r function and follow the
other safety instructions on the previous pages in
this section.
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death to the
child, when excessive force is acting on the
passenger's seat due to the seat belt and the
passenger's air bag is switched on uninten-
tionally.
f After fastening the child restraint system,
do not adjust the seat in any direction.
Moving the seat could adjust the safety belt
against the child restraint and cause the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator lamp to
go off and activate the air bag system.
f Check the condition of the passenger air
bag system shown by the indicator lamp in the overhead operating console.

Activating the automa
tic locking retractor

the passenger's seat, adjust the passenger's
seat as far away from the air bag as possible.
2. Position child seat according to the child seat’s manufacturer instructions.
3. Pull the safety belt retr actor completely out. At
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 o n i t t o a l l o w m o re o f
it to retract.
Make sure that excessive seat belt forces do
not occur by moving the seat with the child
seat installed.
Releasing the safety belt
f Unbuckle the safety belt latch.
Then make certain that the belt has fully retracted.
At this point the automati c locking feature will be
disengaged.
Seek appropriate advice from your authorized
Porsche dealer about the possible installation of a
Porsche child restraint system. LATCH child seats are the best option for
mounting a child seat in your Porsche. Such
LATCH child seats can be
installed only using the
LATCH system in the rear seats.
Use only child restraint systems with the LATCH
system ( Lower A nchorage and Tether for
Ch ildren) recommended by Porsche.
These systems have been tested and adjusted to
the interior of your Po rsche and the appropriate
child age 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
instructions for your child seat.
Using a LATCH child seat systemBoth of the rear seats are equipped with the
LATCH system (lower anchorage and anchor
points for tether straps on the back of the
backrests).
Markings on the right and left for the LATCH child
seat anchorage can be found on the seat cushions
of the rear seats.
The anchor bars A for the LATCH child seat
anchorage can be found directly under the
markings between backrest and seat cushion.
