Ferrari 599 GTB 2009 User Manual

OWNER’S MANUAL

General considerations

This vehicle, which complies with the EC homologation standards, is equipped with state-of-the-art 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 equipment do not authorise the driver to take risks other than those involved in normal driving, since their preventive/protective action is performed only in certain conditions. Unless otherwise and speciﬁcally provided for by Ferrari (see the Safety section) it is PROHIBITED to deactivate any safety system.

For safe driving, the following conditions must ALWAYS be met:

- The driver must be in perfect psycho-physical conditions

- The road regulations must be strictly observed

- The common rules of caution must always be observed, in relation to the quality/performance of the vehicle, the places where you are driving and the contingent situations.

Ferrari recommends reasonable and careful use of the vehicle. The driver MUST NEVER allow passengers to increase the risk con

nected with driving (e.g., not using the safety systems, such as the seat belts) by failing to observe the mandatory safety rules that apply to both the driver and the passengers.

The vehicle MAY NOT be modiﬁed or tampered with for any reason whatsoever, as this would affect the standards required for homologation and safety.

The owner of the vehicle is obliged to carefully maintain the vehicle in compliance with the recommended maintenance schedule.

The driver must always pay attention to the warning signals in the vehicle, in particular to the dashboard warning lights. Even in cases where the warning lights do not indicate a situation of immediate danger, the driver must behave prudently and carefully, considering the possible consequences of the malfunction and the type of information signalled.

Introduction

Even in the event of routine operations, such as refuelling, the driver must take all necessary precautions and check for any spilling of ﬂammable liquid. These precautions must be taken even if the operation is performed by others. Before starting off, always verify that the door closing systems are functioning, not only by checking that the relative warning lights are off, but also trying to operate them by hand.

The driver must be fully knowledgeable with the vehicle and its controls, so as to handle and drive it as required. Knowledge of the vehicle can be achieved/improved by attending the driving courses held by Ferrari, which are recommended.

The names taken from the sports and racing world (e.g., F1, SPORT, RACE) only refer to the technology from which they derive or to

speciﬁc vehicle set-ups and they do not authorise the driver to behave improperly while driving.

These considerations are not exhaustive, but only refer to some general issues that will be speciﬁcally dealt with in this Owner’s Manual.

WARNINGWARNING

Because of the high power generated by the engine, we recommend that the vehicle is only used by experi

enced drivers.

Updating

The high quality level of the vehicle is subject to constant technological improvements. Therefore, there may be differences between this manual and your vehicle. The Ferrari Sales and Service Network will be glad to provide you with all the information about the updates made.

All speciﬁcations and illustrations contained in this manual refer to those resulting as of the printing date.

Spare parts

We recommend you use genuine Ferrari spare parts, which can be obtained from the Ferrari Service Network.

The Ferrari warranty is voided if repairs are performed using parts that are not Genuine Ferrari Spare Parts.

Warranty and Service book

Each new vehicle comes equipped with a “Warranty and Service book”.

This contains the vehicle’s warranty validity conditions.

The warranty booklet also indicates when periodic service is due according to the “MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE”.

“F1-SuperFast” gearbox

The vehicle may come equipped with an electronically-controlled gearbox system, controlled by means of the levers on the steering wheel.

The default setting for the F1 gearbox is always “AUTO” mode.

Every time the vehicle is started, the F1 gearbox is in the “AUTO easy exit” mode, unless the vehicle was in “AUTO” mode when it was turned off.

To exit the “AUTO easy exit” mode, operate one of the levers UP and DOWN (when the vehicle is moving) or

press the AUTO button on the

central console.

Even though the system can be used in “AUTO” mode, it should not be considered an automatic gearbox. Hence, for proper use always follow the instructions given in this manual.

This new F1 gearbox generation reduces overall gearshifting times. Using the elastic power of the transmission devices

- through integrated electronic engine and gearbox management - the F1-SuperFast system enhances vehicle performance.

Introduction

The different gearshifting stages (torque reduction and clutch disengagement, gear disengagement and engagement and subsequent clutch re-engagement) are actuated in sequence.

This results in extremely fast gearshifting, which is reduced to 100 ms (measured as “acceleration gap”).

Environmental protection

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.

Using your vehicle respecting the environment will be your contribution towards environmental protection.

Fuel consumption as well as engine, gearbox, brake and tyre 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 prudently and keep a safety distance suited to the driving speed.

- Avoid sharp and frequent accelerations.

- 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.

WARNINGWARNING

The vehicle is equipped with exhaust gas control and monitoring systems, which must always be fully efﬁcient.

Vehicle keys

The vehicle is delivered with two identical keys that can be used for:

- locking/unlocking the doors (central locking)

- starting the vehicle

- deactivating the alarm system

- activating/deactivating the alarm system.

In the event that the keys are lost or stolen, you can request a duplicate from the Ferrari Service Network (see section “Duplicating the keys” on page 11).

WARNINGWARNING

Make sure you record the code numbers in the space provided in the “WARRANTY AND SERVICE BOOK”.

Key codes

A CODE CARD is supplied with the keys. This card shows the following:

- the electronic code to be used for “emergency starting”

- the mechanical code for the keys, to be given to the Ferrari Service Network if you request duplicates of the keys.

WARNINGWARNING

The code numbers on the CODE CARD must always be kept in a safe and protected place, not accessible to others.

WARNINGWARNING

We remind you that the emergency start procedure can only be performed using the electronic code found on the CODE CARD.

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 from the 0 position, 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 within one second, while the EOBD warning light B turns off after about four seconds, once the

General

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 remains on and the EOBD warning light B does not turn off after the ECU has completed its diagnostic cycle, it means that the code has not been recognised. In this case, 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.

If you are still unable to start the engine, use the emergency starting procedure (see page 10) and contact the Ferrari Service Network.

�

- 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 ﬁ rst 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.

If the problem persists, please contact the Ferrari Service Network.

2) If the CODE warning light A ﬂ ashes, it means that the vehicle is not protected by the immobiliser.

WARNINGWARNING

Contact the Ferrari Service Network immediately to have all the keys stored in the system memory.

WARNINGWARNING

Each key supplied has its own speciﬁ c code, which must be stored in the memory of the system ECU.

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 8 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.

The codes of the keys that are not available when the new memorisation procedure is performed will be deleted from the memory, in order to prevent that any lost or stolen keys are used to start the vehicle.

Emergency starting

If the Ferrari CODE is unable to deactivate the immobiliser:

- the CODE

warning light remains

permanently on

- the EOBD

warning light goes off after four seconds and comes back on immediately afterwards;

- the engine does not start.

In this condition, the engine can only be started with the emergency procedure.

We recommend that you read the whole procedure carefully before performing it.

If you make a mistake during the emergency procedure, turn the key to position 0 and repeat the operation from point 1.

1) Read the 5-digit electronic code found on the CODE CARD.

2 ) Turn the key to position II: at this

point, the CODE and EOBD warning lights are on.

3) Fully depress and hold the accelerator pedal. Approximately 8 seconds later, the EOBD warning light will go off. Release the accelerator pedal and get ready to count the number of times the EOBD warning light ﬂashes.

4) As soon as the number of ﬂashes is equal to the ﬁrst digit of your CODE

CARD,

depress the accelerator pedal and hold it until the EOBD warning light goes off, after remaining on for approximately 4 seconds. Release the accelerator pedal.

5) The EOBD warning light starts ﬂashing again. As soon as the number of ﬂashes is equal to the second digit of your CODE CARD,

depress the

accelerator pedal and hold it.

6) Follow the same procedure for the remaining digits in the code on the

CODE CARD

7) When the last digit has been entered, hold the accelerator pedal pressed down. The EOBD

warning light comes on for 4 seconds and then goes off. You can now release the accelerator pedal.

8) A quick ﬂashing of the EOBD warning light (about 4 seconds) conﬁrms that the operation has been successful.

9) Start the engine.

If the EOBD warning light remains on, turn the key to

0 and repeat the

procedure from step 1.

This procedure can be repeated an unlimited number of times.

After an emergency starting procedure, it is advisable to contact the Ferrari Service Network to solve the problem. Otherwise, you will have to perform the emergency starting procedure every time the engine is started.

General

Replacing remote control batteries

If the respective function is not activated when one of the three buttons on the key is pressed, replace the remote control batteries after ﬁ rst checking that the alarm system functions are working with the other remote control.

Replace the remote control batteries as follows:

- lever open the key cover

C with a small

screwdriver at the position indicated by the arrow;

�

- remove the battery D, pushing in the direction indicated by the arrow to release it from the retainer cover

- ﬁ t a new battery of the same type, respecting the polarity as indicated;

- close the key cover





Do not use sharp implements to open the key cover and take the utmost care not to damage the remote control.

Electronic alarm

The electronic alarm system performs the following functions:

- remote control for central door locking/ unlocking;

- perimeter surveillance, detecting the opening of doors and lids;

- motion surveillance, detecting intrusion into the passenger compartment;

- vehicle movement surveillance.

Activation

To turn on the alarm system, press button F on the key:

- the direction indicators ﬂ ash once;

- the system beeps;

- the red LED on the dashboard ﬂ ashes;

- the central door locking system is activated and the doors are locked.

The system activates after approximately 25 seconds.





When the electronic alarm is activated, the user may request opening of the luggage compartment; in this case, the motion and anti-lift sensors are temporarily deactivated.

If the luggage compartment is then closed, the sensors will be reactivated.

The direction indicators and the red LED on the dashboard should be ﬂ ashing 9 times when you activate the alarm system: this means that one of the doors or the front/rear lid is not properly closed and therefore is not protected by the perimeter surveillance. Check for correct closing of the doors, rear/front lid and close the open one without deactivating the alarm system: the direction indicators ﬂ ashing once indicate that now the door or the front/rear lid is closed properly

and is protected by the perimeter surveillance.

If the direction indicators ﬂ ash 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 turn off the alarm system, press button G on the key:

- the direction indicators ﬂ ash twice;

- the system beeps twice;

- the red LED on the dashboard goes off;

- the dome lights and the lights under the doors turn 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 it is therefore possible to get into the vehicle and to start the engine.

If the remote control battery is ﬂ at, to gain access to the vehicle, insert the key into one of the two door locks, then 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 motion sensing system

The motion sensing system can be deactivated by pressing button

H on the

roof panel. When this function is deactivated, the LED on the button will ﬂ ash for about 3 seconds and then will turn off.





General

Deactivating the anti-lift alarm

Pressing button

I deactivates the anti-lift

alarm. When this function is deactivated, the LED on the button will ﬂash for about 3 seconds and then will turn off.

Alarm memory

If the CODE warning light appears on the display when the vehicle is started, this means that an intrusion has been attempted.

The alarm system memory is reset by turning the ignition key.

Run Flat tyres (optional)

The vehicle can come equipped with “Run flat” tyres. This type of tyre has a reinforced side

A which allows the vehicle

to continue travelling at moderate speed (80 km/h), even after a puncture, for a specific distance .

The instrument panel receives the “tyre puncture” information from the tyre pressure monitoring ECU , monitors the residual tyre life, and displays a warning in the dedicated area of the TFT display after 50 km.

After 100 km, a message warning the driver to stop the vehicle will be displayed (see “Tyre pressure and temperature monitoring system” on page 42).

WARNINGWARNING

Observing the recommended wheel alignment values is essential in order to obtain the best performance and the longest life of these tyres.

More information on these tyres and on the relative pressure monitoring system can be found in the “Carrozzeria Scaglietti” 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 combination with the pretensioners, have been designed to protect the wearer from a variety of impacts.

ATTENZIONEATTENZIONE

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.

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 ﬁ tted over the hips (not the stomach).

ATTENZIONEATTENZIONE

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.

ATTENZIONEATTENZIONE

Do not attach or pin anything onto the seat belts: this may damage and consequently break the belts in the event of a collision.

ATTENZIONEATTENZIONE

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

Ferrari Service Network

Adjusting seat belt height

Press button A to release the height

adjustment mechanism, then move the mechanism into the desired position.

Always ensure that the mechanism has locked correctly. The seat belt should be adjusted so that the diagonal section passes approximately halfway between the shoulder and the neck. The lap section of the belt must pass over the hips, not the abdomen.

Safety

�

Fastening the seat belts

Adjust the seat and headrest properly.

- Grip the belt latch

B, pull the belt slowly

and insert the latch into the buckle C. If the belt blocks when pulled, allow the belt to rewind slightly, then pull again slowly.





- Make sure that it has clicked into place.

- Position the seat belt correctly. Do not use any objects (e.g. spring clips, locks, etc.) that hold the seat belt away from your body.

ATTENZIONEATTENZIONE

Do not allow children to be held on a passenger’s lap using only one seat belt for both of them.

�

If the driver side belt is not fastened when the ignition key is turned to II, the warning light D comes on.

Unfastening the seat belts

- Push the release button

- Accompany the belt latch B back to its rest position.





Pretensioners

The pretensioner is activated by the airbag ECU in the event of a head-on collision (impact direction between 11 and 1 o'clock) of sufﬁ cient severity, or in a side collision of sufﬁ cient severity. The belt will rewind a few centimetres just before the restraining action begins, thereby improving the ﬁ tting across the occupant's body.

Activation of a pretensioner is signalled by the illumination of the warning light A on the instrument panel.
