Seat Belts - Ferrari California Owner's Manual

Seat belts

Statistics show that when used correctly, seat belts reduce the risk
of injury in various types of crashes including the risk of ejection
from the vehicle and impact with the interior of the vehicle.
If left unfastened, seat belts offer absolutely no protection. Before
every trip, always make sure that all occupants are wearing their
seat belts.
Warning
Seat belts must be worn at all times and must be properly
fastened and adjusted!
Correct use of the seat belts can reduce the risk of serious injury
in the event of an accident or if the vehicle overturns.

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 it 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 correct
operating of the seat belts.
The seat belts for the front seats have a lap-shoulder belt with
an automatic emergency-locking retractor and are fitted with a
pyrotechnic-powered pretensioner and an automatic system that
reduces the force applied to the occupant.
