Ferrari F12 BERLINETTA Seat Belt Instructions

The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is a work of art in automotive engineering and design, with every component reflecting the brand’s dedication to performance, luxury, and safety. This introduction will concentrate on a critical component that protects the safety of both the driver and the passengers: the seat belt. The seat belt is more than simply a safety device in the world of high-performance sports vehicles; it’s a critical component that improves the driving experience.

The seat belt of the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the epitome of design and function. It lends a touch of Italian elegance to the interior while still providing the required restraint in high-speed conditions. In this introduction, we’ll look at the seat belt on the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, going into its design, safety features, and the exceptional driving experience it provides. 

Seat Belts

Statistics show that when used correctly, seat belts reduce the risk of injury in various types of crashes including the risk of ejection from the vehicle and impact with the interior of the vehicle. If not unfastened, the seat belts do not provide any type of protection. Before every trip, always make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts.

Warning
Seat belts must be worn at all times and must be properly fastened and adjusted! Correct use of the seat belts can reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident or if the vehicle overturns.

Ferrari F12 BERLINETTA Seat Belt (1)Warning
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 fitted over the hips (not the abdomen). Make sure it is not twisted and that it passes closely over your body; if not, in the event of a head-on collision, it may move and cause injury to the abdomen. Avoid wearing bulky clothing that may interfere with the proper operation of the seat belts. The seat belts have a lap-shoulder belt with an automatic emergency-locking retractor and are fitted with a pyrotechnic-powered pretensioner and an automatic system that reduces the force applied to the occupant.

Ferrari F12 BERLINETTA Seat Belt (2)Warning
Do not let the seat belts come into contact with cutting edges. They may get damaged and may consequently break in the event of a collision.

Warning
Each seat belt has been designed to protect only one occupant. If more than one person uses the same seat belt, the risk of injury in the event of an accident is increased. The seat belt must never be passed around a baby, child or other person sitting on a passenger’s lap. Do not sit babies, small children or other persons on your lap. If there is a collision, the weight of an adult may cause the child to be crushed by the seat belt causing severe or even fatal injuries.

Warning Do not attach or pin anything onto the seat belts: they may get damaged and may consequently break in the event of a collision.

Warning
If a seat belt has come into contact with cutting edges or was somehow perforated, we recommend that you have it immediately replaced by the Ferrari Service Network.

Warning
Periodically check the condition of the seat belts. If the belt shows signs of wear, it must be checked by a qualified person and replaced if necessary. Contact the Ferrari Service Network immediately.

  • Grip the latch plate A, slowly pull the belt and insert the latch plate into the buckle B (if the belt locks while you are pulling it out, let it wind back a little and pull it out again without jerking it).
  • Make sure that it has clicked into the locked position: hold the belt and pull it to check that the latch plate has been inserted correctly. Position the seat belt correctly.

If the driver’s seat belt is not fastened, when you turn the ignition key to position II, the warning light D on the instrument panel lights up and remains lit until the seat belt is fastened. 55 seconds after a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) is exceeded, a buzzer sounds warning the driver that the seat belt is not fastened. When a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) is exceeded, the buzzer activates immediately and stops after 90 seconds. This acoustic signal is emitted only once, even if the vehicle speed goes above and below the above mentioned limits. It is repeated (when the vehicle speed is in the indicated ranges) only if the seat belt is fastened and unfastened again or, in any case, every time the engine is turned off and then on.Ferrari F12 BERLINETTA Seat Belt (3)Warning
