How To Fasten Seat Belts - Ferrari 2012 F12 Berlinetta Owner's Manual

How to fasten seat belts

Warning
For an effective restraining action, the seat belt must be fastened
correctly with the seat backrest in the upright position.
The seat belt is fastened correctly when the upper part of the
belt crosses the centre of the shoulder (not the neck) and the
abdominal section is fitted over the hips (not the abdomen).
Make sure that the belt is not twisted and that it passes closely
over your body; if not, in the event of a head-on collision, it may
move and cause injury to the abdomen.
Avoid wearing bulky clothing that may interfere with the proper
operation of the seat belts.

Once you have adjusted the seat correctly (see page 178):
• Grip the latch plate A, slightly pull the belt and insert the latch
plate into the buckle
out, let it wind back a little and pull it out again without jerking
it).
• Make sure that it has clicked into the locked position: hold the
belt and pull it to check that the latch plate has been inserted
correctly.
• Position the seat belt correctly.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened, when you turn the ignition
key to position II, the warning light
lights up and remains lit until the seat belt is fastened.
55 seconds after a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) is exceeded, a buzzer
sounds warning the driver that the seat belt is not fastened.
When a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) is exceeded, the buzzer
activates immediately and stops after 90 seconds.
This acoustic signal is emitted only once, even if the vehicle speed
goes above and below the above mentioned limits. It is repeated
(when the vehicle speed is in the indicated ranges) only if the seat
belt is fastened and unfastened again or, in any case, every time the
engine is turned off and then on.
