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

or young persons, that the passenger airbag is
deactivated.
The condition of the passenger airbag system is
shown by the indicator lamp in the overhead
operating console.

Risk of serious personal injury or death due to the
passenger airbag triggering unintentionally.
When the ignition is on and the up to one-year old
child is seated in the child restraint system on the
passenger seat the indicator lamp "PASS AIR BAG

If the "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator lamp 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:

Do not install a child restraint system on the
passenger's seat.

Have the fault remedied at your nearest
authorized Porsche dealer.
