Safety
Auxiliary Occupant Protection Systems
(driver and passenger)
Warning
Auxiliary Occupant Protection Systems are not a substitute for
seat belts but increase their efficiency. Correct use of the seat
belts, with the supplementary action of the Auxiliary Occupant
Protection Systems, offers maximum protection in the event of a
head-on collision or vehicle roll-over.
Auxiliary Occupant Protection System components (driver and passenger)
The Auxiliary Occupant Protection System components are:
- Seat with built-in headrest.
- Dual-stage front driver's airbag.
- Dual-stage front passenger airbag.
-
Driver's head protection side airbag (head bag).
- Passenger head protection side airbag (head bag).
- Driver seat belt (with pretensioner and automatic system to
mitigate force applied to the occupant).
- Passenger seat belt (with pretensioner and automatic system to
mitigate force applied to the occupant).
-
Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
- Additional sensors.
- Instrument panel warning light.
-
Deformable body.
The front driver's airbag and front passenger airbag have been
designed to increase the level of protection given by the seat belts
in the event of a head-on collision (see page 53).
The driver's head protection side airbag and passenger head
protection side airbag have been designed to increase the level
of protection provided by the seat belts in the event of a lateral
collision or side roll-over and form a cushion between the
occupant’s head and external structures which could penetrate the
passenger compartment and cause injury (see page 58).
Warning
When the instrument panel is activated, the warning light A will
come on when the START button is pressed on the steering
wheel once. If no malfunctions are detected, it goes out after
4 seconds. If the warning light does not come on, if it remains
on or if it comes on while driving, contact the Ferrari Service
Network immediately.
