death to the child from an airbag deployment
To reduce risk of injury from an inflating airbag in an
accident, Porsche strongly recommends:
e Under all normal circumstances, the child seat
must be placed in the rear. Do not use a child
restraint system on the front passenger seat.
Before transporting a child on the passenger seat:
> Please see chapter "Child Restraint Systems
(Child Seats)" on page 96.
– When an up to one-year old child is seated in the
child restraint system on the front seat, the pas-
senger airbag will be automatically deactivated.
– When an adult is seated in the front passenger
seat the front airbag is automatically activated.

Information
Depending on the weight, body positioning and
shape acting on the passenger's seat, it can occur in
the case of heavier children that the passenger air-
bag is active or, in the case of very light adults or
young persons, that the passenger airbag is
deactivated.
The condition of the passenger airbag system is
shown by the indicator light in the overhead operat-
ing console. If in doubt:
e Fasten the forward facing child restraint system
on the rear seat or transport the passenger on
the rear seat.
PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator light lights up

Information
After switching on the vehicle, the PASS AIR BAG
OFF indicator light lights up for a few seconds as a

Child Seat Detection
DANGER
Fault
When the vehicle is on and the up to one-year old
child is seated in the child restraint system on the
passenger seat the indicator light
PASS AIR BAG OFF must be on.
If the PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator light does not
light up, it could indicate a fault in the system, and
the airbag could inflate in a collision, placing the
child at risk of death or severe injury from the
inflating airbag.
In this case:
e Child restraint systems facing forwards: Install
on the rear seats.
e Child restraint systems facing rearwards: Do not
drive with a rearward facing child restraint
system.
e Have the fault remedied at your nearest author-
ized Porsche dealer.
Detecting faults
Faults are indicated by the red airbag warning light
on the tachometer.
The airbag warning light illuminates when the elec-
tronic monitoring of the airbag system detects a
malfunction of the sensors, seat belt system, occu-
pant detection system, PASS AIR BAG OFF indicator
light, related wiring, airbag modules and control
units.
e In the following cases you should immediately
consult an authorized Porsche dealer in order to
assure the airbag system is functioning
properly:
– The warning light does not come on when the
vehicle is switched on.
– or –
– If the warning light does not go out once the ve-
hicle is on.
– or –
– If the warning light appears while driving.
