in the event of a minor impact, the airbag ECU does not deploy the airbags;
in the event of a more severe impact, the ECU deploys the passenger airbag in reduced force mode;
in the event of a very severe impact, the ECU deploys the passenger airbag in full force.
Lateral airbag modules
The vehicle is equipped with two lateral airbags, one located inside the driver side door and the other inside
the passenger side door.
The lateral airbags are controlled by an ECU, which deploys them in the event of a lateral impact of sufficient
severity.
The deployment of the lateral airbags is not influenced by the stature or weight of the occupant.
In the event of a lateral impact of a severity exceeding the threshold set in the ECU, the ECU sends a signal
deploying the pretensioner, the lateral airbag on the side of the collision and the active rollbars. The latter
is a precautional measure as deformation to the bodyshell caused by the impact may impede the
subsequent deployment in the event of the vehicle rolling over.
The airbag begins to inflate, breaking the trim panel along a predetermined break line, and inflates fully within
a few hundreds of a second.
Once inflated, the lateral airbag acts as a protective cushion between the head of the driver/passenger and
any structures penetrating the passenger compartment from the exterior, which could cause injury.
The airbag deflates immediately afterwards.
Deactivating the passenger airbag (FROM M.Y. 2010)
The passenger airbag in the vehicle may only be deactivated by using a specific FERRARI child seat.
The specific child restraint systems have been designed to work in conjunction with the BabySmart™
automatic child seat detection system (CPOD) for the front passenger seat of this vehicle.
The specific child seats function like other child safety seats, except for the fact that they are designed to
automatically deactivate the passenger airbag in vehicles equipped with the “BabySmart™ system”.
The specific child seats are equipped with two transponders, which are identified and detected by special
transmitters installed in the front passenger seat.
If the specific child restraint system is installed correctly on the front passenger seat, the transponders are
detected by the transmitters and the front passenger airbag is deactivated.
The full protective function of the restraint system is only ensured if the restraint system itself is
installed and used correctly.
DO NOT place electronic devices (functioning laptop computers, mobile phones, cards with
transponders etc.) on the front passenger seat in a vehicle equipped with the BabySmart™ system,
as signals emitted by electronic devices may interfere with the automatic child seat detection
system sensors, resulting in system malfunctions and causing the front passenger airbag to fail to
be activated and deactivated correctly.
