Child Restraint Systems - Porsche CARRERA GT-2004 Manual

Safety Belt Warning System
An audio-visual warning system is interconnect-
ed with the driver's safety belt.
Every time the ignition is turned on, the gong will
sound for about 6 seconds to remind driver and
passenger to buckle up.
In addition, the gong will sound if vehicle speed
exceeds 6 mph/10 km/h.
The safety belt warning lights in the instrument
panel and on-board computer will go off as soon
as the driver has buckled up.
Inertia reel retractor
The combination lap/shoulder belt with inertia reel
locking mechanism automatically adjusts to your
size and movements as long as the pull on the belt
is slow.
Rapid deceleration during hard braking or a colli-
sion locks the belt. The belt will also lock when you
drive up or down a steep hill or in a sharp curve,
otherwise, the shoulder belt will not inhibit your
upper body movement.
f Assume a comfortable sitting position.
The shoulder belt should always rest on your
upper body. The shoulder belt should never be
worn behind your back or under your arm.
f To fasten, grasp belt and pull the belt in a con-
tinuous slow motion across your chest and lap.
f Insert belt tongue into buckle on inboard side
of seat. Push down until it securely locks with
an audible click. Pull the belt to check.
f Pull shoulder section to make sure belt fits
snugly across the pelvis.
f Belts should fit snugly across the pelvis and
chest. Make sure there is no slack in the belt.
f To unfasten belt, push in release button (ar-
row) on buckle. Belt tongue will spring out of
buckle.

body pressure off the belt.

tract as you guide the latch to its stowed posi-
tion.
