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.
> Please see chapter "Automatic deactivation of
the passenger airbag" on page 56.
If there are emergency reasons for transporting a
child in the front passenger seat, use a child restraint
seat and the automatic locking retractor function.
Follow the other safety instructions on the previous
pages in this section.

DANGER
Adjusting Child Restraint
after Fastening
Moving the seat could misadjust the seat belt
against the child restraint and cause the PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF indicator light to go off and
activate the airbag system.
e After fastening the child restraint system, do not
adjust the seat in any direction.
e Check the condition of the passenger airbag
system shown by the indicator light in the over-
head console.
Activating the automatic locking retractor
1. If a child restraint system must be fastened to
the passenger seat, adjust the passenger seat as
far away from the airbag as possible.
2. Position child seat according to the child seat’s
manufacturer instructions.
3. Pull the seat belt webbing completely out. At this
point the locking mechanism is activated.
4. Insert the seat belt tongue into the buckle and
make certain that it is properly latched. Make no
more adjustments to the seat.
5. Allow the seat belt to retract until it is tight on
the child restraint system. You may further
tighten the belt by pulling on it to allow more of it
to retract.
Make sure that excessive seat belt forces do not
occur by moving the seat with the child seat
installed.
Releasing the seat belt
1. Unbuckle the seat belt latch.
2. Then make certain that the belt has fully re-
tracted. At this point the automatic locking fea-
ture will be disengaged.
e Seek appropriate advice from your authorized
Porsche dealer about the possible installation of
a Porsche child restraint system.
Using the L.A.T.C.H. child restraint
system
L.A.T.C.H. (Lower Anchorage and Tether for Chil-
dren) child restraint systems are the best option for
mounting a child seat in your Porsche.
Such L.A.T.C.H. restraint systems can be installed
only using the L.A.T.C.H. system in the rear seats.
The outer rear seats are equipped with the LATCH
system (lower anchorage and anchor points for
tether straps on the back of the backrests).
The middle rear seat is equipped with a top tether
anchorage (anchor point for tether straps).
e Use only child restraint systems with the L.A.T.C.
H. system recommended by Porsche.
These systems have been tested and adjusted to
the interior of your Porsche and the appropriate
child weight groups.
Other systems have not been tested and could
entail an increased risk of injury.
e You can obtain child seats that are L.A.T.C.H.-
compatible at your authorized Porsche dealer.
> Refer to the separate installation instructions for
your child restraint system.
