Seat Adjustment and Head
Restraints
Danger!
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,
since they may depress the comfort setting
button and crush themselves or another
occupant. Caution!
Risk of damage to wi ndshield, sun visor,
windstop, etc. when the seat is adjusted or
folded back or forward.
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.

f Downward – press button A and move belt

Air bag SystemsThe vehicle is equipped with air bag and lap/
shoulder belt at both front seating positions. The
air bag is a supplemental restraint at those
seating positions.
The air bags in combinatio n 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 air bags, the
safety belts must be worn at all times ,
because the front air bag system is only actuated
by frontal collisions with an impact of sufficient
severity.
Below the deployment threshold of the air bag
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.
f Please see the chapter “SAFETY BELTS” on
page 44. The
front air bags 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 air bags for the front and rear seats are
installed on the side in or near the seat backrests.
The head air bags are installed above the doors
in the roof area.
Note
To minimize the risk of seve re injury or death in the
event of a crash, all occupants, including the
driver, should always wear their seat belts wether
or not an air bag is also provided at their seating
position.

Seat adjustment for the passenger’s seat
Danger!
Safety belts only offer protection when the
backrest is positioned at a comfortable
upright seating angle and the belts are
properly positioned on the body. Improperly
positioned safety belts can cause serious
personal injury or death in an accident.
f Do not operate the car with the driver or passenger backrests excessively reclined.
Vehicle modifications to accommodate
persons with disabilitiesBecause modifications to your vehicle could
compromise your advanced air bag system,
please call 1-800-PORSCHE prior to having your
vehicle modified.
Automatic deactivation of the passenger
air bagsBefore transporting a child on the passenger seat:
fPlease see the chapter “CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS” on page 52.
– When an up to one-year old child is seated
in the child restraint system, the front air bag
is automatically deactivated on the passenger
side.
– When an adult is seated in the passenger’s seat the front air bag is automatically
activated.
Danger!
The use of a child restraint system in 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 restra int system in the front passenger seat.
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lampNote on operation
Depending on the weight acting on the
passenger's seat, it can occur in the case of
heavier children that the passenger air bags are
active or, in the case of very light adults or young
persons, that the passenger air bags are
deactivated.
The condition of the passenger air bag system is
shown by the indicator lamp in the overhead
operating console.
f If in doubt, fasten the child restraint system on
one of the rear seats or transport the
passenger on a rear seat.
