Safety
ATTENZIONE ATTENZIONE
Pretensioners that have been
activated will no longer function
and may not be repaired under any
circumstances. Contact the Ferrari
Service Network for replacement.
When a pretensioner is activated, a small
amount of smoke is released. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate the
presence of a fire.
ATTENZIONE ATTENZIONE
All work on any part of the safety
system components may only and
exclusively be performed by the
Ferrari Service Network .
It is not permitted to remove or make
modifications of any kind to the seat
belts, belt retractors and pretensioners.
Maintenance work involving strong
impacts, vibrations or heating of the
pretensioner area may activate them;
vibrations caused by road bumps will
not have this effect.
Activation of the pretensioners only
depends on the status of the seat belts
and is not affected by the occupants'
presence.
If the seat belt is not fastened, the
pretensioner will not activate, even if
the seat is occupied.
The seat belt is equipped with a load-
limiting device, which was designed to
reduce the retaining force exerted by the
seat belts on the occupant's body during
a collision. This device controls the force
level with which the belt is rewound dur-
ing a collision.
Child safety
ATTENZIONE ATTENZIONE
Do not install rear facing child seats
on the front passenger seat if the
airbag is enabled, as this may cause
serious injury in the event of airbag
deployment.
Established legislation in some coun-
tries already provides that children
under 12 years of age may not travel
in the front passenger seat.
ATTENZIONE ATTENZIONE
Child seats may only be installed
with the seat fully lowered and
pushed backward.
Do not tamper with the seat belts or
child restraint systems.
ATTENZIONE ATTENZIONE
Children may only travel in a rear-
ward-mounting child seat installed
on the passenger seat if the vehicle is
provided with the “passenger airbag
deactivation kit” (optional) and
when the passenger-side airbag is
deactivated.
Because of their size, children are at
greater risk than adults. Suitable restraint
or safety systems must be used.
All minors whose physical characteristics
(i.e. height, weight) fall within the legal
limits in force in each country must be
protected by approved restraint or safety
systems (e.g. child seats, cradles, cush-
ions).
In any case, you are advised to always use
homologated child restraint systems bear-
ing the proper test marking.
