Note

Airbag components (e.g. steering wheel, door lin-

ing, seats) may be disassembled only by an autho-

rized Porsche dealer.

When disposing of a used airbag unit, our safety

instructions must be followed. These instructions

can be obtained at any authorized Porsche dealer.

Function of the airbag system

Airbags are a supplemental safety system. Your

primary protection comes from your safety belts.

The front airbags are triggered during a frontal col-

lision of sufficient force and direction.

In the event of a side impact of corresponding

force, the side airbag on the impact side is

triggered.

The inflation process generates the amount of gas

required to fill the airbags at the necessary pres-

sure in fractions of a second.

Airbags help to protect the head and upper body,

while simultaneously damping the motion of the

driver and passenger in the impact direction in the

event of a frontal impact or side impact.

In order to help provide protection in severe colli-

sions which can cause death and serious injury,

airbags must inflate extremely rapidly. Such high

speed inflation has a negative but unavoidable

side effect, which is that it can and does cause in-

juries, including facial and arm abrasions, bruising

and broken bones. You can help minimize such in-

juries by always wearing your safety belts.

There are many types of accidents in which

airbags are not expected to deploy. These include

accidents where the airbags whould provide no

benefit, such as a rear impact against your vehi-

cle. Other accidents where the airbags are de-

signed not to deploy are those where the risk of

injury from the airbag deployment could exeed any

protective benefits, such as in low speed acci-

dents or higher speed accidents where the vehicle

decelerates over a longer time. Since airbag de-

ployment does not occur in all accidents, this fur-

ther emphasizes the need for you and your pas-

sengers to always wear safety belts.

Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and

diagnostic module. This module will record the

use of the seat belt restraint system by the driver

and front passenger when the airbags and/or belt

tensioner work.

Advanced Airbag

Your vehicle is equipped with a weight sensing sys-

tem for the passenger's seat in accordance with

U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208.

Depending on the weight acting on the front pas-

senger's seat, the front passenger's airbag will au-

tomatically be switched on and off.

Depending on the angle and force of impact, the

front passenger's airbag which is activated will be

triggered during a collision.

Precondition for switching the front passenger's

airbag on and off, depending on weight:

– Vehicles equipped with key-operated airbag

deactivation device:

Switch position AUTO.

– Ignition key is inserted.

Improper handling of the weight sensing

system can unintentionally impair switching

the passenger's airbag off and on.
