However, there may be serious situations where it
might be necassary to place a child in the front
seat so that he/she can be kept under direct ob-
servation to prevent an immediate risk to the child
(for example, while driving to the doctor or hospi-
tal). The following instructions are provided to you
solely for that purpose.
f Seek appropriate advice from your authorized
Porsche dealer about the possible installation
of a Porsche child restraint system.
f If a child restraint system must be fastened to
the passenger's seat, adjust the passenger's
seat as far away from the airbag as possible.
Before transporting a child on the passenger seat:
f Please observe the chapter “CHILD RES-
TRAINT SYSTEMS” on Page 58.
f If emergency or other serious conditions re-
quire a child to be placed in the front seat, ex-
ercise extreme caution and defensive driving
of your vehicle. You must recognize that any
substantial frontal impact could result in the
deployment of the passenger airbag, which
coluld lead to serious injury or death of the
child.
