Ferrari 2012 F12 Berlinetta Owner's Manual
Owner's manual

Introduction
General remarks
This vehicle, which complies with EC homologation parameters,
uses advanced technology and is capable of achieving high
performance levels.
It is equipped with sophisticated active and passive safety systems
(described below).
These safety features and systems do not authorise the driver to
take risks other than those involved in normal driving since their
preventive and protective action is guaranteed only in certain
conditions. Unless otherwise instructed specifically by Ferrari (see
the Safety chapter), the deactivation of any of the vehicle’s safety
systems is PROHIBITED.
Certain safety systems (e.g. the airbags) have been tested to ensure
that they offer the highest possible levels of protection; they may
nonetheless be hazardous in the event of failure by the driver or
passenger to observe the instructions given by Ferrari. All vehicle
occupants must be attentive at all times and take particular care
when transporting passengers who are more subject to injury such
as children, disabled and elderly persons.
Safe driving is subject to the following conditions AT ALL TIMES:
- the driver must be in perfect psycho-physical condition;
- road regulations (Traffic Regulations - Vienna Convention on
Road Traffic that ended on 8 November 1968) must be strictly
observed;
- common rules of caution must always be observed in relation to
the quality/performance of the vehicle, driving conditions and
contingent situations.
Caution and discipline are the basis of safe driving.
Driving takes place in a naturally dangerous context where a
number of different risk factors interact: for this reason, it is
important to drive bearing in mind that others, whether they are
pedestrians, motorcyclists or motorists, can make mistakes. Keeping
a safe distance allows emergency measures to be taken. Remember
that national and international legislation requires that the driver
of the vehicle must be capable of performing corrective and/or
emergency manoeuvres at all times.
Correct and careful use of a vehicle derives, above all, from respect
for one's own safety and that of others as well as from compliance
with road regulations. Only this respect will help you experience all
the emotions that driving this car can offer you.
The driver MUST NEVER allow passengers to increase the risks
associated with driving (e.g. by not using safety systems such as
the seat belts) by failing to observe the mandatory safety rules that
apply to both driver and passengers.
The vehicle MUST NOT be modified or tampered with for
any reason whatsoever since, by so doing, the manufacturer's
homologation and safety parameters will be modified.
5
Introduction
The driver must pay the utmost attention to the signals of the
vehicle and, in particular, the warning lights on the dashboard and
buzzers. Even when the warning lights do not indicate a situation
of immediate danger, the driver must be cautious in relation to
possible consequences/degeneration of the failure and other
information given.
During routine operations, such as refuelling, precautions should
always been taken and it is important to check that flammable
liquid has not been spilled; these precautions must be observed
even if the operation is performed by others. Similarly, before
setting off make sure that the doors are closed by checking the
warning lights and also manually.
The driver must be fully acquainted with the vehicle and its
controls in order to handle and drive it correctly. Command of the
vehicle can be acquired/improved by attending the driving courses
held by Ferrari which we strongly recommend.
The use of terms from the motor sports world (such as F1, SPORT
and RACE) is merely indicative of the vehicle's competition-derived
technology and does not endorse inappropriate behaviour on the
road which does not comply with Traffic Regulations.
Most accidents are caused by distraction. The driver must use any
on-board information, communication and entertainment systems
responsibly, especially when the vehicle is in motion. Examples of
information, communication and entertainment systems are the
following: satellite navigation systems, traffic information systems
(e.g. ITT), media players (e.g. iPod), telephones with Bluetooth
connectivity, etc. (whether merely audio-based or with display).
It is important to bear in mind that on-board systems may be
distracting when driving since they may take a driver's attention
away from the road for several seconds.
Aftermarket entertainment systems for the passenger (e.g. TV)
must be installed where they cannot distract the driver while the
vehicle is in motion. While the vehicle is in motion, the attention
required to use on-board systems must never exceed the high level
of attention required to drive safely in accordance with the Traffic
Regulations.
Therefore, these systems may only be used (separately or in
combination with others) by the driver:
- in complete safety (stopping the vehicle before use if necessary).
Operations that are not involved with driving (e.g. changing
dashboard functions), must be performed in maximum safety
when the vehicle is stationary;
- putting road safety first; for example, under conditions of poor
or limited visibility, looking at a display with active programmes
can be distracting even if you take your eye off the road only for a
split second;
- ensuring, if the previous vehicle owner has installed systems on
the vehicle that are NOT APPROVED by Ferrari (car tuning),
that they are fully compatible with the original vehicle equipment.
6
Introduction
If the vehicle owner has installed one or more new systems, either
fixed or removable, on the vehicle, make sure that these:
- have the necessary certification;
- are fully compatible with the original vehicle equipment (i.e. they
do not interfere with it);
- are fitted by skilled staff.
The Ferrari Technical Service Department and Ferrari
Dealers and Authorised Service Centres can provide all the
information needed to ensure that they are compatible.
Strict priority criteria must be observed when driving a vehicle: you
must not therefore take your attention off the road.
In some countries, the use of information/entertainment/ systems is
prohibited on vehicles when driving.
The driver is responsible for use of these information/
entertainment systems with video screens if they are prohibited in
the country where the vehicle will be driven.
These considerations are not exhaustive, but only refer to some
general issues that will be specifically dealt with in this Owner's
Manual.

Introduction
Introduction
The aim of this Owner’s Manual is to help you get the best
value from your vehicle and to provide information on routine
maintenance: we advise you to read it carefully before setting out.
The Owner’s Manual should be considered an integral part of the
vehicle and must therefore always be kept on board.
Using the product in a way that does NOT comply with the
Owner's Manual not only exonerates Ferrari of any responsibility
but also puts the person at great risk.

accurate as of the date of printing.
Spare parts
When replacing parts or topping up with lubricants and fluids, we
recommend that you use original spare parts and lubricants and
fluids recommended by Ferrari.
Warranty Booklet
Each new vehicle comes with a “Warranty Booklet”.
This contains the vehicle’s warranty validity conditions.
This warranty does not affect the buyer's statutory rights as a
consumer, which derive from binding legal norms in his or her
favour, in the various states or countries, or from European Union
regulations, towards the Dealer.
The Warranty Booklet also contains the routine maintenance
indicated in the “Maintenance Schedule”.

Introduction
Environmental protection
Environment
The following chapter contains useful advice for environmental
protection.
Ferrari has designed and constructed a vehicle using technologies,
materials and devices capable of reducing the harmful impact on
the environment to a minimum.
If you use your vehicle with respect for the environment, you too
will contribute to environmental protection.
Fuel consumption as well as engine, gearbox, brakes and tyres wear
mainly depend on two factors:
- use of the vehicle
- driving style.
Both factors are influenced by the driver.
Use of the vehicle
- Avoid using the vehicle for short trips
- Check that the tyre pressure is correct
- Check the fuel consumption
- Proper periodic maintenance will contribute to preserving your
vehicle in full working order and to protecting the environment.
We therefore advise you to respect the service due dates indicated
in the “Maintenance Schedule”.
Driving style
- Do not accelerate during the starting procedure
- Do not warm up the engine when the vehicle is stationary
- Drive carefully and keep a safety distance that corresponds to the
driving speed
- Avoid sudden and frequent acceleration or braking
- Turn off the engine if the vehicle is kept stationary for long
periods of time
- Shift gears using only 2/3 of the speed permitted for each gear
- Use the air conditioning in moderation
- A driving style like that described above protects the vehicle
from premature wear and tear, makes driving safer and does not
subject the vehicle to undue fatigue.
Important note
The vehicle is equipped with exhaust gas control and
monitoring systems which must always be kept in perfect
working order and controlled regularly.

Introduction
End-of-life vehicle collection service
(applies to EU countries only)
For many years, Ferrari has been globally committed to respecting
and protecting the environment by constantly improving its
manufacturing processes and developing increasingly ecocompatible products.
Regulations for the treatment of end-of-life vehicles, implemented
in response to the terms of EU Directive 2000/53, require that
producers (manufacturers and official importers) collect all the
vehicles introduced on the market by the producers themselves
at the end of their life cycle, and ensure that these vehicles are
processed in an environmentally compatible manner.
Therefore, to dispose of your end-of-life vehicle at no additional
cost (with the exception of a de-registration fee and any transport
costs), contact your nearest Ferrari dealer who is responsible for
taking the vehicle to one of the authorised collection and disposal
centres which have all been selected to guarantee a service that
meets quality standards for the collection, treatment and recovery
of recyclable materials without harming the environment.
For further information, visit www.ferrari.com.
To dispose of a Ferrari end-of-life vehicle, the vehicle must be:
- complete, containing the essential components including engine,
transmission, bodywork, ECUs and catalytic converter;
- free from additional waste.
Ferrari is committed to offering its clients a geographically
extensive and, as a result, better service, and thanks you for your
cooperation in this environmental challenge.
Bear in mind that specific regulations govern the disposal of vehicle
parts including batteries, tyres, used oil, etc.
Please contact the Ferrari Service Network for more
information.

Vehicle keys
The vehicle is delivered with two identical keys that can be used
for:
- central door locking;
- starting the vehicle;
- activating/deactivating the alarm system;
- opening the luggage compartment lid.
Important note
If the keys are lost or stolen, you can request a duplicate from
the Ferrari Service Network (see the “Duplicating the keys”
section on page 16).
Key codes
A CODE CARD is supplied together with the keys, indicating the
following:
- the electronic code;
- the mechanical code for the keys, to be given to the Ferrari
Service Network if you request duplicates of the keys.
Warning
The code numbers on the CODE CARD must always be kept in
a safe and protected place, not accessible to others.
Important note
In the event of a change of ownership, it is essential that the
new vehicle owner is provided with all the keys and with the
CODE CARD.

Alarm system
The
Ferrari
CODE system
The vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobiliser system
(Ferrari CODE) which is automatically activated when the ignition
key is removed.
The keys are equipped with an electronic device which transmits
a coded signal to the Ferrari CODE ECU. Once this ECU has
recognised the signal, it allows starting the engine.
Operation
Each time the ignition key is removed (see page 77), the protection
system activates the engine immobiliser.
When starting the engine, press the ENGINE START button on the
steering wheel:
1) If the code is recognised, the CODE warning light A on the
instrument panel turns off when the check procedure has been
completed, whereas the EOBD warning light B turns off when
the engine is started once the ECU has completed its diagnostic
cycle; in these conditions, the protection system has recognised
the key code and deactivated the immobiliser.
2) If the CODE warning light A stays on, it means that the code
has not been recognised. If this occurs, it is advisable to turn
the key back to position 0 and then back to II; if the immobiliser
device remains active, try with the other key provided.
Important note
If you still cannot restart the engine, contact the Ferrari
Service Network.
B
A
16
General
While driving, with the ignition key in position II:
1) If the CODE warning light A turns on, it means that the system
is performing a self-diagnostic cycle. At the first opportunity,
you can stop and test the system: switch off the engine by
turning the ignition key to position 0, then turn the key back to
position II. The CODE warning light A will turn on and should
go off within one second. If the warning light stays on, repeat
the procedure described previously leaving the key at 0 for
more than 30 seconds.
Important note
If the problem persists, please contact the Ferrari Service
Network.
2) If the CODE warning light A flashes, it means that the vehicle is
not protected by the immobiliser.
Important note
Each key provided has its own specific code, which must be
stored in the memory of the system control unit.
Important note
Contact the Ferrari Service Network immediately to have all
the keys stored in the system memory.
Duplicating the keys
If you request additional keys, provided that the conditions to
satisfy your request are met, remember that the codes must be
stored (up to a maximum of 7 keys) on all the keys.
Contact the Ferrari Service Network directly and bring the
following with you:
- all the keys in your possession;
- the CODE CARD for the Ferrari CODE system;
- a personal identity document;
- the documents proving ownership of the vehicle;
- a report of loss of keys made to the relevant authorities.
The codes for the keys that are not available when the new
memorisation procedure is performed will be deleted from the
memory to prevent any lost or stolen keys being used to start the
vehicle.

Replacing remote control batteries
If you press one of the three buttons on the key and this does not
activate the corresponding function, check that the alarm system
functions are operating correctly by using the other remote control
before replacing the two remote control batteries.
Replace the remote control batteries as follows:
- open the key cover C using a small screwdriver at the position
indicated by the arrow;
- remove the two batteries E, pushing in the direction indicated by
the arrow to release them from the retainer cover D;
- fit two new batteries of the same type, observing the indicated
polarity;
- close the key cover C.
Important note
Do not use sharp tools to remove the cover and be careful to
avoid damaging the remote control.

Electronic alarm
The electronic alarm system performs the following functions:
- remote control for central door locking/unlocking;
- perimeter surveillance, detecting if doors and lids are open;
- motion surveillance, detecting intrusion in the passenger
compartment;
- vehicle movement surveillance (anti-lift).
Activation
To turn on the alarm system, press button F on the ignition key:
- the turn indicators flash once;
- the system “beeps”;
- the red LED on the dashboard flashes;
- the central door locking system is activated and the doors are
locked.
The system activates after approximately 25 seconds.

18
General
When the electronic alarm is activated, the user may request
opening of the luggage compartment lid; in this case, the motion
and anti-lift sensors are temporarily deactivated. If the luggage
compartment is then closed, the sensors will be reactivated.
If the turn indicators and the red LED on the dashboard flash
9 times when you activate the alarm system, it means that one of
the doors or the front/rear lid is open or not closed properly and is
therefore not protected by the perimeter surveillance. If this is the
case, check that the doors and front/rear lids are closed properly
and close any door or lid that is open without deactivating the
alarm system: the turn indicators will flash once to indicate that the
door and front/rear lids are now closed properly and protected by
the perimeter surveillance.
Warning
If the turn indicators and the LED on the dashboard flash
9 times when the alarm system is activated with doors, rear
and front lids properly closed, it means that the self-diagnostic
feature has detected a malfunction in the system. Contact the
Ferrari Service Network to have the system checked.
Deactivation
To deactivate the alarm system, press button G on the ignition key:
- the turn indicators flash twice;
- the system beeps twice;
- the red LED on the dashboard goes off;
- the dome lights come on;
- the central door locking system is deactivated and the doors are
unlocked.
Pressing button G twice unlocks the doors and also turns on the
low beams for 30 seconds.
The alarm system is off and you can now get into the vehicle and
start the engine.
To enter the vehicle if the remote control battery is flat, insert the
key into one of the two door locks and turn it to release the lock;
the alarm siren will start to sound.
Start the vehicle following the standard procedures: The alarm
siren will deactivate.
Deactivating the anti-lift volumetric alarm
Press button H on the roof panel to deactivate the anti-lift
volumetric alarm system. When this function is deactivated, the
indicator light on the button will flash for about 3 seconds and will
then turn off.

Alarm memory
If, when the vehicle is started, the CODE symbol (see page 107)
appears on the left TFT display of the instrument panel for
10 seconds after the system diagnosis cycle, together with the
message “Break-in attempted”, this means there has been an
attempt to break into the car, causing the alarm to activate.
In this case, the system will indicate the reason for the alarm
activation according to the following priority:
- LED off twice: anti-lift sensor alarm
- LED off three times: door alarm
- LED off four times: luggage compartment lid alarm
- LED off five times: ignition key alarm.
The alarm system memory is reset by turning the ignition key.
Homologation
The electronic alarm system complies with EU regulations on
electromagnetic compatibility and is marked in compliance.
The homologation number is referred to with the following
characters.
For those markets that require the transmitter and/or receiver
marking, the homologation number is found on the component.
Satellite alarm system (optional)
In some markets, the vehicle can be equipped, on request, with
a satellite alarm system. If the vehicle is equipped with a satellite
alarm system, please refer to the “Nav Trak Satellite Alarm System
Quick Reference” booklet enclosed with the vehicle documents, for
further information.
