Although not desired, it can occur in the case of

mains active or, in the case of very light adults or
young persons, that the passenger’s airbag is
deactivated.
The condition of the passenger’s front airbag is
shown by the indicator lamp.

Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death due
to the passenger airbag triggering uninten-
tionally.
When the ignition key is inserted and the up
to one-year old child is seated in the child re-
straint system on the passenger’s seat, the
indicator lamp “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF”
must be on.
If the “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” indicator
lamp does not light up, it could indicate a
fault in the system.
In this case:
f Child restraint systems facing forwards:
Install on the rear seats.
f Child restraint systems facing rearwards:
On vehicles with key-operated airbag deactiva-
tion device: Switch to position OFF.
f Child restraint systems facing rearwards:
On vehicles without key-operated airbag deac-
tivation device: Do not use a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger’s seat.
f Have the fault remedied at your nearest author-
ized Porsche dealer.
