Ferrari 458 Italia Owner's Manual page 63

Warning
Always keep the backrest of your seat in the upright position
and sit with your back properly resting against it.
Important note
Do not modify the system components or wiring, under any
circumstances.
With the ignition key inserted and in position II, although the
engine is off, the airbags can still be activated when the vehicle is
stationary if it is hit by a moving vehicle.
Remember that if the ignition key is set to 0 none of the safety
devices (airbags or pretensioners) is activated in the event of a
collision; failure of the airbags to inflate in these circumstances is
not indicative of a system malfunction.
Important note
Do not cut or tamper with the connectors of the airbag harness
or on the airbag modules.
Warning
Do not cover the steering wheel and the padded panel on the
dashboard on the passenger's side with adhesive tape or treat it
in any way.
Warning
Do not place objects above or near the top of the dashboard
and the steering wheel.
In the event that the airbags are deployed, these objects would
be projected into the passenger compartment at a high speed
that would seriously jeopardise the safety of the occupants.
Warning
The airbag modules are subject to wear and tear and must be
replaced at the intervals indicated in the "Warranty Booklet"
EVEN if the vehicle has NOT been involved in a collision.
