Child Restraint Systems - Porsche 911 CARRERA - 2003 Manual

Child Restraint Systems
Porsche recommends that all infants and child-
ren be restrained in child restraint systems at all
times while the vehicle is in motion in accord-
ance with applicable laws.
The use of infant or child restraints is required
by law in all 50 states and the Canadian prov-
inces.
The child restraint system should be one that
complies with U.S. Federal/Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards 213 and should be se-
cured by a lap belt or lap belt portion of a lap-
shoulder belt.
A statement by the seat manufacturer of com-
pliance with this standard can be found on the
instruction label on the restraint and in the in-
struction manual provided with the restraint.

Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death to
the child.
I>
Follow all child restraint instructions and warn-
ings in this manual.
- When using an infant or child restraint system,
be sure to follow all manufacturer's instruc-
tions on installation and use.
- Infants and small children should never be
held on the lap, nor should they share a
safety belt with another occupant while the ve-
hicle is in motion.
- Children too big for child restraint systems
should use regular safety 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 rec-
ommend that small children travel in the rear
seats.
The airbag deactivation device installation
requires special programming available
only from your authorized Porsche dealer.
Your authorized Porsche dealer will be glad
to advise you about the installation possi-
bility for a Porsche child restraint system
which allows deactivation of the pas-
senger's airbags.
/!\
Danger!
The use of a child restraint system in the
passenger seat without airbag deactivation
can result in serious personal injury or
death to the child from an airbag deploy-
ment.
To reduce risk of injury from an inflating
airbag in an accident, Porsche strongly
recommends:
I>
Do not use a child restraint system in the pas-
senger seat unless the passenger airbags are
deactivated.
