Porsche Child Restraint System - Installation
Vehicle Type:
911 Carrera (993)
Model Year:
As of 1997 (V) - 98 (W)
Concern:
Retrofitting passenger side airbag deactivation device (crossbar with belt lock) to complete the Porsche Child Restraint system
Information:
Whenever a Porsche Child Seat is installed in the passenger seat, the passenger side airbag MUST be deactivated to prevent possible injury to a child in
a child seat during a collision. A Porsche passenger airbag deactivation device (cross-bar with belt lock) specially designed for the Porsche Child Seat
must be installed in the vehicle, and must be enabled with the Porsche System Tester 2 (PST2) before using the Porsche Child Seat.
After the deactivation device (crossbar with belt lock) has been installed and enabled, the passenger side airbag is deactivated by inserting the belt
tongue from the child seat into the belt lock (receptacle) on the cross-bar. Deactivation is acknowledged by the airbag light flashing for 10 seconds when
the vehicle is first started or ignition is turned on.
Note:
The passenger side airbag is returned to a normal (activated) state when the child seat tongue is removed from the belt lock receptacle.
Warning!
Advise the customer that when using the Porsche child seat, if the passenger side airbag deactivation cannot be acknowledged by a flashing airbag
light upon vehicle startup, or if the airbag light remains continuously lit (fault present), a child SHOULD NOT be placed in the child restraint
system! The vehicle should be immediately brought to an authorized Porsche dealer for repair!
