Child Restraint Systems - Porsche Cayenne Owner's Manual

Child Restraint Systems

Porsche recommends that all infants and children
be restrained in child restraint systems at all times
while the vehicle is in motion in accordance with
applicable laws.
Use only child restraint systems with the LATCH-
system recommended by Porsche. These sys-
tems have been tested and adjusted to the interior
of your Porsche and the appropriate child age
groups. Other systems have not been tested and
could entail an increased risk of injury.
You can obtain child seats that are LATCH compat-
ible at your authorized Porsche dealer.
f Always observe the separate installation in-
structions for your child seat.
The use of infant or child restraints is required by
law in all 50 US states and the Canadian provinc-
es. The child restraint system should be one that
complies with U.S. Federal/Canadian Motor Vehi-
cle Safety Standards and should be secured by a
lap belt or lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt or
for child seats equipped with the LATCH sytem
(Lower Anchorage and Tether for Children, also
known as ISOFIX) to the LATCH anchorages.
A statement by the seat manufacturer of compli-
ance with this standard can be found on the in-
struction label on the restraint and in the instruc-
tion manual provided with the restraint.
Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death to the
child.
f Follow all child restraint instructions and
warnings in this manual.
– When using an infant or child restraint system,
be sure to follow all manufacturer's instruc-
tions on installation and use.
– Infants and small children should neither be
held on the lap, nor should they share a safety
belt with another occupant while the vehicle is
in motion.
– Children too big for child restraint systems
should use regular safety belts. A shoulder belt
can be used providing it does not cross the
face or the neck of the child.
– Choose a child restraint system according to
the age and size of the child.
– Child restraint systems that are damaged or
have been heavily stressed in an accident must
be replaced immediately.
– Do not affix objects to child restraint systems
or cover them with other materials.
– For maximum safety and protection, do not
use a child restraint system in the front passen-
ger seat.

systems
Under all normal circumstances, the child seat
must be placed in the rear.
f Do not use a child restraint system in the front
passenger seat.
