Child car seat preparation for the front passenger's seat encompasses the ISOFIX retaining bow (in the USA, Mexico and Canada: lower anchorage point) for assembly between seat surface and backrest as well as a key-operated switch for airbag deactivation.
Deactivate airbag by changing the position of the Airbag Off switch (front side of the dashboard on the passenger's side) to the position "Airbag-OFF" with the vehicle key. The deactivated passenger's airbag is permanently displayed by the lit up warning light PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF (PAO) in the center console when the ignition is switched on.
A child car seat may be used on the front passenger's seat only if:
^ the passenger's airbag is deactivated (Airbag Off switch set to "OFF" and
^ the PAO warning light comes on when the ignition is switched on. And for USA/Canada/Mexico, if:
^ weight sensing is active (Airbag Off switch set to "Auto") and
^ the PAO warning light comes on when the ignition is switched on when a child car seat and child are on the passenger's seat.
If the PAO warning light does not light up when the ignition is on and after the Airbag OFF switch is switched off, a child car seat must not be used on the passenger's seat. In this case, the system must be checked by a authorized Porsche dealer.
Further important information regarding the airbag system and child seats are contained in the Owner's Manual and the Porsche child seat instructions.
Please inform your customers accordingly.
