Seat Belts; Adjusting Seat Belt Height - Ferrari 599 GTB FIORANO Owner's Manual

Seat belts

The driver must respect and have the
passengers observe the provisions of local
legislation regarding the compulsory use
of seat belts. In the European Community,
Directive 2003/20/EC requires the driver
and passenger to wear the seat belts, and
to use child restraint systems.
If used correctly, the seat belts, in combi-
nation with the pretensioners, have been
designed to protect the wearer from a
variety of impacts.
Ferrari recommends you use the
seat belts correctly fastened and
ATTENZIONE ATTENZIONE
adjusted at all times!
Correct use of the seat belts can
reduce the risk of serious injury in
the event of an accident.
If the driver permits the passenger
not to wear the seat belts, he shares
the risk posed by failed use and is
equally guilty of violation.

The vehicle seat belts are automatic, with
three fastening points and an emergency
inertia locking device on the winding unit,
equipped with pretensioner.
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 fit-
ted over the hips (not the stomach).
Do not let the seat belts come into
contact with cutting edges. They may
ATTENZIONE ATTENZIONE
get damaged and may consequently
break in the event of a collision.
Do not attach or pin anything onto
the seat belts: this may damage and
ATTENZIONE ATTENZIONE
consequently break the belts in the
event of a collision.
If a seat belt has come into contact
with cutting edges or was somehow
ATTENZIONE ATTENZIONE
perforated, we recommend you
have it immediately replaced by the
Ferrari Service Network.
