Small adult passengers
Make sure that the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
indicator lamp does not light up.
Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death due
to the passenger's airbag not triggering.
When the ignition is on and the small adult
passenger is seated on the passenger's seat,
the indicator lamp "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF"
must be off. If the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF"
indicator lamp lights up, it could indicate a
fault in the system. In this case:
Do not carry a passenger in the passenger's
seat.
Have the fault remedied at the nearest
authorized Porsche dealer.
Automatic locking retractor
The safety belt for the passenger is 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.
Before transporting a child on the passenger seat:
Please observe the chapter "CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS" on page 58.

A - PASSENGER AIRBAG 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. In
such cases, the passenger's airbag can be
switched on unintentionally.
After fastening the child restraint system, do
not adjust the seat.
Check the condition of the passenger airbag
system shown by the indicator lamp A in the
central console.
Activating the automatic locking retractor
1. If a child restraint system must be fastened to
the passenger's seat, adjust the passenger's
seat as far away from the airbag as possible.
2. Fasten child seat.
3. Pull the safety belt retractor 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 on it to allow more
of 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
1. Unbuckle the safety belt latch.
2. Then make certain that the belt has fully
retracted. At this point the automatic locking
feature will be disengaged. Seek appropriate
advice from your authorized Porsche dealer
about the possible installation of a Porsche
child restraint system.
