e Make sure that no persons or animals are within
the range of movement when moving these ve-
hicle components.
Take account of children's behavior
Children often cannot judge dangers correctly and
may behave inappropriately in dangerous situations.
Children can accidentally trigger automatic settings
(e.g. seat adjustment) and thus injure themselves.
Children may not be able to exit the vehicle in
emergency situations, e.g. an overheated passenger
compartment. This is dangerous to life, especially for
young children.
e Keep children away from electrically live or hot
parts, e.g. the tailpipe.
e Keep toxic materials, e.g. tire sealing compound,
engine oil, out of the reach of children.
e Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended.
Safe use of child restraint systems
Child restraint systems can only work when installed
correctly.
e Only use child restraint systems approved for
your Porsche.
e Before using a child restraint system: Read and
follow the instructions from the child restraint
system manufacturer as well as this manual.
> Please see chapter "Child Restraint Systems
(Child Seats)" on page 97.
Safe, competent driving: Making
the right decisions
You are ultimately responsible for keeping your
powerful vehicle under control.
Drive safely
e Never drive after you have consumed alcohol or
drugs.
e Always drive defensively.
e Expect the unexpected.
e Use signals to indicate turns and lane changes.
e Turn on headlights at dusk or when the driving
conditions warrant it.
e Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in
front of you, depending on traffic, road and
weather conditions.
e Reduce speed at night and during inclement
weather.
e Driving in wet weather requires caution and re-
duced speeds, particularly on roads with stand-
ing water, as the handling characteristics of the
vehicle may be impaired due to hydroplaning of
the tires.
e Always observe speed limits and obey road signs
and traffic laws.
e When tired, get well off the road, stop and take a
rest. Turn the engine off. Do not sit in the vehicle
with engine idling.
e On hills also turn the front wheels toward the
curb.
