Safety belts

Warning
Failure to follow safety belt instructions
may result in serious personal i n j u r y . |
Instructions
• For your and your passengers' protec-
tion, use safety belts at all times while
the vehicle is in motion. Use child
safety seats for all small children.
• Safety belts must
positioned on the body. Improperly
positioned safety belts can cause seri-
ous personal injury in case of an acci-
dent.
• Porsche recommends that all infants
and children be restrained in child re-
straint systems at all times while the
vehicle is in motion in accordance with
applicable laws.
• The use of infant or child restraints is
required by law in all 50 states and the
Canadian provinces. The child re-
straint system should be one that com-
plies with U. S. Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 and should be sec-
ured by a lap belt or the lap belt portion
of a lap-shoulder belt. 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.
• When using an infant or child restraint
system be sure to follow all manufac-
turer's instructions on installation and
use.
• Infants and small children should
never be held on the lap, nor should
they share a seat belt with another oc-
cupant while the vehicle is in motion.
• Children too big for child restraint sys-
be properly
tems should use regular seat belts. A
shoulder belt can be used providing it
does not cross the face or the neck of
the child.
• For maximum safety and protection,
we recommend that small children
travel in the rear seats.
• For maximum effectiveness, the lap
belt should be worn low across the
hips.
• Belts should not be worn twisted.
• Do not wear belts over rigid or break-
able objects in or on your clothing,
such as eye glasses, pens, keys, etc.
as these may cause injury.
• Several layers of heavy clothing may
interfere with proper positioning of
belts.
• Belts must not rub against sharp ob-
jects.
• Keep belt buckles free of any obstruc-
tion that may prevent secure locking.
• Make sure that belt of the unoccupied
passenger seat is fully wound up on its
retractor so that the belt tongue is in
its stowed position.
• Belts that have been subjected to exes-
sive stretch forces in an accident must
be replaced.
• If belts show damage to webbing, bind-
ings, buckles or retractors,
should be replaced.
• If belts do not work properly, see your
authorized Porsche dealer.
• Do not modify or disassemble the
safety belts in your vehicle.
• The belts must be kept clean as other-
wise the retractors may not work prop-
erly (see also "Car care instructions").
• Never bleach or dye safety belts.
• Do not allow safety belts to retract
until they are completely dry.
