- Only use on a vehicle seat facing or against the direction of travel.

Risk of injury from front airbag

- If the child seat is secured on the second or third row of seats, slide the corresponding front seat forwards.

Risk of injury due to missing contact surface
It is necessary for the backrest of the child seat to be flat to the vehicle
seat. If the headrest of the vehicle seat prevents this, then carry out the
following steps.
- Check whether the vehicle handbook allows the headrest to be removed.
- If this is allowed, then remove the headrest according to the vehicle handbook. Immediately reattach the headrest as soon as the child seat is no longer used on the vehicle seat.
- If this is prohibited, select a different vehicle seat.
How to avoid damaging the vehicle
- The vehicle’s sensitive seat covers may be damaged.
- Use Porsche Tequipment vehicle seat protectors. These are available separately.

The position of the belt lock affects the protective function of the child
seat.
