Airbag - Ferrari F430 SPIDER Owner's Manual

• The seat belts in the vehicle have been
designed and tested to protect persons
weighing at least 36 kg and taller than
1.50 m.
• To properly protect a child outside these
limits, specific restraint systems with
dedicated belts or accessories capable
of adapting the child's position to the
vehicle's seatbelts must be fitted.
For installation and use of the child
restraint systems, follow the instructions
provided by the restraint system
manufacturer.
On vehicles equipped with a
passenger airbag deactivation device,
do not fit a rearward-facing child seat on
the passenger seat if the airbag is active, as
the child risks serious injury or death in the
event of airbag activation.
In this case, you must deactivate the
passenger airbag using the dedicated
control and ensure that the LED on the
roof's console comes on (see page
In addition, move the passenger seat as far
back as possible in order to prevent the
child seat from touching the dashboard.
Do not tamper with the seat belts or child
restraint systems.
As provided for by law (in the
European Community), children
under 3 years of age may only travel in the
vehicle if using suitable restraining systems.
Where provided for by law (in the
European Community), children
under 3 years of age who are less
than 150 cm tall may not travel on the front
seat unless a suitable restraint system is
fitted.
The adhesive label applied on the right-
hand side of the dashboard on vehicles
not equipped with the passenger airbag
deactivation device, indicates that it is
prohibited to fit a rearward-facing child
seat on the passenger seat.

Airbag

The airbag is not a substitute for
the seat belts, but increases their
effectiveness. Correct use of the seat belts
in combination with the airbag offers
maximum protection in the event of a
collision.
Airbag system components
The airbag system is composed of two
instantly inflatable cushions, one situated
on the driver's side in the centre of
A
the steering wheel, and the other on the
passenger's side B, inside the dashboard.
When the ignition key is turned to
position II, the relevant warning light
on the instrument panel comes on and, if no
faults are found, goes off after 4 seconds.
If the warning light does not come on, or if
it stays on, or if it comes on while driving,
immediately contact the Ferrari Service
Network.
