Seat Belts - Ferrari F430 Owner's Manual

Special warnings
This vehicle has been constructed in
compliance with the strictest personal and
environmental safety standards.
Nevertheless, a few rules should be
followed.
Particular attention must be paid to:
• Overheated components: high
temperatures develop in the engine
compartment in proximity of the exhaust
system.
Do not park the car on paper, grass, dry
leaves or other flammable materials. They
could catch fire if they come into contact
with hot parts of the exhaust system.
Do not fit other heat shields or remove
those fitted on the exhaust system.
Do not let flammable substances come
into contact with the exhaust system.
• Moving parts on the vehicle, such as
fan belts etc. are always protected by
appropriate systems.
Do not remove the guards or operate on
the moving parts without taking the due
precautions.
• Pressurised systems on the vehicle, such
as: the braking system, air conditioning
and heating system, cooling system and
lubrication system, which may generate
pressure internally.
Do not carry out any operation which
may cause gas or liquids to spill out with
the risk of injury to persons and damage
to things.
• The exhaust gas generated by the
running engine may be hazardous,
especially when in closed spaces. As
well as consuming oxygen, the engine
discharges carbon dioxide, carbon oxide
and other toxic gases.
• The fuel is highly flammable and emits
vapours which may be noxious if inhaled.
Do not use naked flames or create sparks
near the open fuel tank or in any other
condition where fuel comes into contact
with air.
• The oils used may also be flammable:
take the same precautions as adopted for
the fuel.
• The fluid contained in the battery is
poisonous, corrosive and flammable. Do
not let it spill out and come into contact
with the skin, eyes or objects. Do not use
naked flames or create sparks near the
battery.
In any case, observe the various warnings
contained in this manual.

Seat belts

If used correctly, the seat belts, in
combination with the pretensioners and
the load limiting devices, protect the
occupants from all types of impact and
firmly secure them to the vehicle structure,
thus preventing dangerous jerks against the
fixed parts of the passenger compartment.
Ferrari recommends you use the
seat belts correctly fastened and
adjusted at all times!
Correct use of the seat belts can reduce
the risk of serious injury in the event of an
accident or if the vehicle overturns.
The standard seat belts are automatic, with
3 attachment points, and an emergency
inertial locking winder fitted with
pretensioner and load limiting device.
For maximum protection, keep the backrest
in the upright position, rest your back
comfortably against it and adjust the seat
belt in height so that it fits tightly across
your chest and pelvis. your chest and pelvis.
