Inertia Real Safety Belt
For your and your passenger's protec-
tion, wear safety belts at all times while
the car is in motion.
Your Porsche is equipped with a safety belt
for each front and rear seat.
The inertia real safety belt provides safety
with freedom of movement. It adjusts auto-
matically to your size and movements as
long as the pull on the belt is slow. A sudden
motion locks the belt.
Rapid deceleration during hard braking or a
collision locks the belt. The belt will also lock
when you drive up or down a steep hill or in a
sharp curve.
To release a locked belt, lean back to take
the body pressure off the belt.
A shoulder belt should not be worn by a
person less than 4' 7"/1.40 m in height,
or with an erect seating height of less
than 2' 5" /74 cm, because the belt would
not be in its most protective position and
may therefore increase the possibility of
injury in a collision.
For maximum safety and protection, we
recommend that small children travel in
the rear seats.
When driving in foreign countries, the wear-
ing of safety belts may be required by law.
Safety belt warning system
An audio-visual warning system is intercon-
nected with the driver's safety belt.
When the ignition is turned on, the warning
light in the center console and the buzzer
will come on for about 6 seconds. The buzzer
will go off as soon as the driver has buckled
up. The warning light will go off after 6 sec-
onds.
Fastening the belt
Sit back in your seat so that your body is
supported by the backrest. Grasp the belt
tongue and pull the belt in a slow continuous
motion across your chest and lap. Insert the
belt tongue into the belt buckle on the inboard
side of the seat. Push down until securely
locked with an audible click.
Be sure the belts are not twisted.
