Seat Belt And Pretensioner Care - Ferrari 2012 F12 Berlinetta Owner's Manual

Seat belt and pretensioner care

• Following a serious collision, replace the seat belts that were worn
at the time even if they do not appear to be damaged.
• Periodically check that the screws on the anchor points are tight
and that the seat belt is in perfect condition and slides smoothly.
• The seat belt must be kept clean; the presence of any dirt could
prevent the seat belt retractor from working properly.
• To clean the seat belt, wash it by hand with mild soap and water
and let it dry. Do not use strong detergents, bleach or aggressive
solvents, as they can weaken the fibres. Make sure the retractors
do not get wet: proper functioning is only ensured if they are kept
dry.
• The pretensioner requires no maintenance or lubrication.
• If immersed in water or mud, the pretensioner must necessarily
be replaced.
• Pretensioners must be replaced at regular intervals as indicated in
the "Warranty Booklet".
Important note
All work on any part of this safety system must be performed by
the Ferrari Service Network.
Warning
Removing or making modifications of any kind to the seat belts,
belt retractors and pretensioners is not allowed.
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.
