Safety

With the instrument panel activated, although the engine is off, the
airbags can still be activated when the vehicle is stationary if it is hit
by a moving vehicle.
Remember that if the instrument panel is switched off, none of
the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners) will be activated in
the event of a collision; failure of the airbags to inflate in these
circumstances is not indicative of a system malfunction.
Important note
Do not cut or tamper with the connectors of the airbag harness
or on the airbag modules.
Warning
Do not cover the steering wheel and the padded panel on the
dashboard on the passenger’s side with adhesive tape or treat it
in any way.
Warning
Do not place objects above or near the top of the dashboard
and the steering wheel. In the event that the airbags are
deployed, these objects would be projected into the passenger
compartment at a high speed that would seriously jeopardise the
safety of the occupants.
Warning
Do not modify the airbag modules in any way (indicated in
the relevant picture). Do not damage the airbag modules (for
example pinning something onto them or pressing objects
against their covers).
If, for any reason, an airbag cover gets damaged, have the airbag
module immediately checked by the Ferrari Service Network .
Activation of a damaged module could cause serious or fatal
injuries.
Important note
Do not remove or dismantle parts of the steering wheel,
dashboard or door panels; if necessary, this procedure should
only be performed by a Ferrari Service Network Centre.
