Maintenance of seat belts and pretensioners

• 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, it must 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.
