Seat position
A correct sitting position is important for safe and
fatigue-free driving. We recommend the following
procedure for adjusting the driver’s seat to suit
individual requirements:
1. Adjust the seat height to give yourself enough
headroom and a good overview of the vehicle.
2. Adjust the seat in fore-and-aft direction until,
with the accelerator pedal fully depressed,
your leg is straight but your entire foot still
rests on the accelerator pedal.
3. Grip the top half of the steering wheel. Set the
backrest angle and the steering wheel position
so that your arms are almost outstretched.
However, your shoulders must still rest on the
backrest.
4. If necessary, correct the seat fore-and-aft
adjustment.
5. Adjust the height of the headrest so that the
upper edge is at eye level or higher.

Seat belts
The seat belts are not suitable for persons under
150 cm (5 ft.) tall. Suitable restraint devices
should therefore be used.
Safety notes!
f All occupants of the vehicle must wear seat
belts for their own safety on every journey.
Give your passengers all the information in this
chapter.
f Never use one belt for two persons at the
same time.
f Remove any loose, bulky items of clothing that
prevent the belt from fitting correctly and
restrict your freedom of movement.
f Do not lay the belt across hard or breakable
objects (spectacles, ball-point pens, pipes,
etc.).
Such articles may represent an additional
danger of injury.
f Belt straps must not be twisted or loose.
f Check all belts regularly for signs of damage in
the fabric, and check that the buckle and
attachment points function correctly.
f Belts that are damaged or have been heavily
stressed in an accident must be replaced
immediately. The same applies to belt
tensioner systems which have been triggered.
In addition, the anchor points of the belts
should be checked.
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. We
recommend that you use a Porsche partner for
this work since these are staffed with trained
personnel and have the necessary parts and
tools.
f Make sure the belts are fully retracted when
they are not being used. This protects them
from dirt and damage.
The following functions serve as a reminder to
fasten the seat belts; they remain active until the
tongue of the driver’s seat belt is inserted into the
buckle:
– The warning light on the instrument panel lights
up when the ignition is switched on.
– A warning appears on the multi-purpose
display of the instrument panel,
– A warning signal (gong) sounds for approx.
90 seconds when the speed exceeds
24 km/h (15 mph).
Belt tensioner
Depending on the force of a collision, fastened
seat belts are tightened in an accident.
The belt tensioners are triggered in:
– Front and rear impacts
– Side impacts (front belt tensioners)
– Vehicle rollover
Maintenance notes
The belt tensioner system can only be triggered
once; the system must be replaced afterward.
Work may be carried out on the belt tensioner
system only by a qualified specialist workshop. We
recommend that you use a Porsche partner for
this work since these are staffed with trained
personnel and have the necessary parts and
tools.
Smoke is released when the belt tensioners are
triggered. This does not indicate a fire in the
vehicle.
Warning light and warning
message
40 Seats, Mirrors and Steering Wheel
Fastening the seat belt
f Assume a comfortable sitting position.
Adjust the backrest of the front seat so that the
belt always rests on your upper body and runs
across the middle of your shoulder.
f Grasp the belt tongue and pull the belt in a
slow, continuous motion across your chest and
lap.
Note on operation
The belt can be blocked if the vehicle is standing
at an angle or if the belt is pulled out using a
jerking movement.
f The belt cannot be pulled out while acceler-
ating and slowing down, when cornering and
when driving uphill.
f Insert the belt tongue into the appropriate
buckle on the inboard side of the seat, until it
locks securely with an audible click.
f Make sure that belts are not trapped or
twisted, and that they are not rubbing on sharp
edges.
f The horizontal section of the belt should
always fit snugly across the pelvis. Therefore,
after fastening the belt, always pull the
diagonal part of the belt upwards.
Pregnant women should position the belt as
low as possible across the pelvis, and ensure
that it is not pressing against the abdomen.
f Pull on the diagonal section of the belt now and
again during the journey to ensure that the
horizontal section remains tight.
f Pay attention to ensuring the correct assign-
ment of seat belts and buckles on the rear seat
bench.
Releasing the seat belt
f Hold the belt tongue.
f Press the red button (arrow).
f Guide belt tongue to the reel.
