Seat Belts
Correct use of seat belts
Unfastened or incorrectly
DANGER
used seat belts
A seat belt that is not fastened will not provide any
protection in the event of an accident. A seat belt
that is not fastened correctly can increase the risk of
injury in the event of an accident.
e
Before and during each drive, all occupants must
wear seat belts for their own safety.
e
Never allow two people to use the same seat belt
at the same time.
e
Remove any loose clothing (e.g. jackets), as they
can interfere with the correct seat belt position
and restrict your freedom of movement.
e
Do not lay seat belts over hard or breakable ob-
jects (e.g. glasses, ball-point pens, phones, etc.).
Such objects pose an additional risk of injury.
e
Make sure that seat belts are not twisted or
loose.
e
Also provide your passengers with all the infor-
mation in this section.
e
Use suitable child restraint systems for all chil-
dren.
e
Seat belts must be positioned on the body so
that they prevent the upper body and pelvis from
sliding forward. Incorrectly positioned seat belts
can cause serious injury in the event of an acci-
dent.
e
The shoulder strap must always be close to the
upper body. The shoulder strap must never be
fastened in such a way that it runs behind the
back or under the arm.
e
The lap belt should extend far below the lap so
that it can achieve its greatest possible effect.
e
Pregnant women should place the seat belt as
far below the pelvis as possible. Make sure that it
does not press against the abdomen.
e
Seat belts must not rub against sharp-edged
objects to prevent damage to the belt strap.
Use of damaged seat
DANGER
belts
Damaged or heavily worn seat belts will not provide
adequate protection in the event of an accident.
The seat-belt pretensioner system may only be trig-
gered once; it must then be replaced.
e
Regularly check all seat belts for fabric damage
and check that the belt buckle and attachment
points are in good working order.
e
The seat belts must be kept clean. Otherwise,
the retractors may not function correctly.
e
Protect the belt buckle from dirt and keep it
clean, which could prevent it from closing se-
curely.
e
Immediately replace any seat belts that are dam-
aged or have been subjected to heavy strain dur-
ing an accident, as well as triggered seat-belt
pretensioner systems and force limiters.
e
In addition, you should have the anchorage
points of the seat belts checked.
Visit an authorized Porsche dealer. Porsche rec-
ommends an authorized Porsche dealer, as they
have trained technicians and the necessary parts
and tools.
e
The belt tensioner system can only trigger once.
Triggered belt tensioner systems must be re-
placed.
