Uniform tire quality grading

All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety requirements in addition to these grades.

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specied government test course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1-1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.

The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use and may differ signicantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

Traction

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are “AA”, “A “, “B”, and “C “. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specied government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. Tires marked “C “ have poor traction

- performance.

The traction grade assigned to

this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

Temperature

The temperature grades are “A “ (the highest), “B”, and “C “, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specied indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade “C “ corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades “B” and “A “ represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

The temperature grade for this tire is

established for a tire that is properly inated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under ination, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

“Run  at” tires (optional)

The vehicle can be  tted with “Run Flat” tires. This type of tire has reinforced sidewalls which permit the vehicle to continue traveling at a moderate speed

(50 mph - 80 km/h) for a set distance, even in the event of a puncture.

Always comply with the speci ed wheel

alignment values, as this is essential to obtain the best performance from and the longest life of your tires.

Further information on these tires and the

relevant pressure monitoring system can be found in the “Carrozzeria Scaglietti” Owner’s Manual.

Key codes

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

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

- the mechanical code for the keys, to be given to your Authorized Ferrari Dealer in case you may need duplicate keys.

The code numbers shown on the CODE CARD should be kept in a

safe place.

You are advised to always keep the

CODE CARD number with you, as this is absolutely necessary in the event of an “emergency start”.

In the event of a vehicle ownership transfer, it is essential that the new owner is provided with all the keys and with the CODE CARD.

You are advised to record and keep the codes listed on the tags delivered with the keys in a safe place (not in the vehicle) in order to request duplicates if needed.

Alarm system

FERRARI CODE system

For greater protection against theft, the vehicle is equipped with an electronic engine immobilizer system (Ferrari CODE), which is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

Each ignition key contains an electronic device which transmits a code signal to the Ferrari CODE control unit, and engine ignition is enabled only if the key code is acknowledged by the system.

Two keys are supplied with the vehicle. The key serves to:

- lock/unlock the doors (central door locking)

- activate/deactivate the passenger airbag

- activate/deactivate the alarm.

Operation

Each time the ignition key is removed from position 0, the protection system activates the engine immobilizer.

• When starting the engine, press the

ENGINE START button on the steering

wheel:

Keys

The vehicle is delivered with two identical keys with radio control.

Write the code number of the key in the space provided in the warranty

booklet.

A duplicate of the keys can be requested by

providing the identi cation number to your

Authorized Ferrari Dealer

2 - About your vehicle

1) If the code is recognized, the CODE warning light on the instrument panel goes off within a second, while the

OBD warning light goes off after

about four seconds once the ECU diagnostic cycle has been completed. In these conditions, the protection system recognizes the key code and deactivates the engine immobilizer.

CODE OBD

2) If the CODE warning light stays on and the OBD warning light does not

go off after the four seconds required by the ECU to run a diagnostic cycle, the code has not been recognized. In this case, it is advisable to turn the key back to position 0 then back to II. If the immobilizer stays on, try with the other keys. If you are still unable to start the engine, perform an emergency start (see the chapter “Emergency starting”) and contact your Authorized Ferrari Dealer.

• When driving with the ignition key in position II :

1) If the CODE warning light illuminates,

it means that the system is running a self-diagnostic cycle. At the  rst opportunity, you can stop and test the system: turn off the engine by turning the ignition key to position 0, then turn it back to position II: the

CODE warning light will come 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 that 30 seconds.

If the problem persists, contact your Authorized Ferrari Dealer.

2) If the CODE warning light  ashes, it

means that the vehicle is not protected by the immobilizer device.

Immediately contact your Authorized Ferrari Dealer to have all the keys stored in the memory.

Strong impacts can damage the electronic

components in the key.

Each key has its own speci c code, which must

be stored in the memory of the system control unit.

Duplicating the keys

When ordering additional keys, remember that the storage procedure must be performed for all the keys (7 keys maximum), including those already in your possession. Contact your Authorized Ferrari Dealer, bringing with you all the keys in your possession, the CODE CARD for the Ferrari CODE system, a personal ID document and the registration documents proving ownership of the car.

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

Emergency starting

If the Ferrari CODE fails to disable the engine immobilizer, the CODE warning light illuminates steady and the OBD warning light goes off after four seconds and then illuminates again immediately, and the engine will not start. In this condition, the engine can only be started with the emergency starting procedure.

It is recommended to carefully read through the whole procedure before carrying it out.

If you make a mistake, turn the key to position 0 and repeat the operation from step 1.

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

2) Turn the ignition key to position II: at this point, the CODE and OBD warning lights stay on.

3) Push and hold down the accelerator pedal. After approximately 8 seconds, the OBD warning light will go off. Release the accelerator pedal and get ready to count the number of times the

OBD warning light  ashes.

4) Wait until the number of  ashes is equal to the  rst digit of your CODE CARD, then push and hold down the accelerator pedal until the OBD warning light goes off after about 4 seconds, then release the accelerator pedal.

5) The OBD warning light starts  ashing again. When the number of  ashes is equal to the second digit of your CODE CARD, push and hold down the accelerator pedal.

6) Proceed in the same manner for the remaining digits in the code on the CODE CARD.

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

OBD warning light illuminates for 4

seconds and then goes off; release the accelerator pedal.

8) When the OBD warning light  ashes fast (for about 4 seconds) it con rms that the procedure has been carried out correctly.

9) Proceed with starting the engine by pressing the ENGINE START button on the steering wheel.

If the OBD warning light remains on, turn the key to position 0 and repeat the procedure from step 1.

This procedure can be repeated an unlimited number of times.

After an emergency start, it is advisable to contact your Authorized Ferrari Dealer as the emergency starting procedure must be carried out each time the vehicle is started.

Electronic alarm system

The electronic alarm system performs the following functions:

- remote control for central door locking;

- perimeter surveillance, detecting when

the doors or lids are opened;

- car movement surveillance.

The engine immobilizer function is ensured by the Ferrari CODE system, which is automatically activated when the key is removed from the ignition switch.

System activation

Press the radio control button A on the key to activate the alarm system:

�

- the direction indicators  ash once

- the red LED B on the dashboard  ashes

�

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

After about 25 seconds, the system is active and the alarm will be triggered if:

- a door is opened

- the luggage compartment lid is opened

- the engine compartment lid is opened

2 - About your vehicle

- the power is cut

- the siren is disconnected

- the car is moved. Should the siren beep twice when you

activate the alarm system, this means that one of the doors or the luggage/engine compartment lid is not fully closed and therefore is not protected by the perimeter surveillance.

Check that the doors and lids are properly closed and close the open door or lid, then reactivate the alarm system.

Deactivation

Press button A on the key to deactivate the alarm system:

- the direction indicators  ash once;

- the red LED B on the dashboard goes off;

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

The alarm system is off and you can get into the vehicle and start the engine.

If the remote control battery is  at, to access the vehicle, you must use the spare key or replace the battery as described below.

Alarm memory

If the red LED B  ashes when you have deactivated the system by means of the radio control, it means that the alarm was triggered while you were away. In this case, the system will indicate the reason for the alarm according to the following priority:

- LED off twice: lifting sensor alarm;

- LED off three times: door alarm;

- LED off four times: engine compartment lid alarm;

- LED off  ve times: ignition key alarm.

The alarm system memory is reset when you turn the ignition key.

Requesting new keys

To purchase new keys with radio control, contact your Authorized Ferrari Dealer, bringing with you:

- all the keys with remote control in your possession

- the CODE CARD for the Ferrari CODE system

- a personal ID document

- the registration documents proving ownership of the car.

Keys with radio control that are not provided to the dealer, for the new code storage procedure, will automatically be deactivated. This is to prevent any lost or stolen keys with radio control from being used to deactivate the electronic alarm system.

If you accidentally activate the alarm during

engine starting, the engine starts normally and the alarm siren will be activated after 30 seconds. To deactivate it, press the radio control button on the key.

Replacing the key remote control batteries

If some functions are not activated when the key radio control button is pressed,  rst check using another key with radio control that the alarm system functions work. If this is the case, you must replace the key with radio control battery.

To replace the key with radio control battery:

- detach the key cover A pry with a small screwdriver at the point indicated by the arrow

�

- remove the battery B by pushing it out from under the retaining spring clip C in

the direction indicated by the arrow

( )“ICE” mode

This mode can be used when the road conditions are particularly slippery (e.g., snow, ice).

When this mode is activated, the ICE symbol will appear on the multi-function display for a few seconds and an acoustic signal will warn the driver that the driving mode has been changed.

For use, see on page 95.

( )“Low-grip” mode

It can also be activated to enhance driving comfort even when driving in a racing style, for improved stability in low- to mediumgrip conditions. It is also recommended for city driving.

When this mode is activated, the Low Grip symbol appears on the multi-function display for a few seconds and an acoustic signal will warn the driver that the driving mode has been changed.

For use, see on page 96.

SPORT mode

This is the ideal setting for vehicle performance.

Select SPORT mode if you wish to drive with a racing style in high-grip conditions.

When this mode is activated, the SPORT symbol will appear on the multi-function display for a few seconds and an acoustic signal will warn the driver that the driving mode has been changed.

For use, see on page 96.

RACE mode

The RACE mode further enhances the already racing style performance of the vehicle. When this mode is activated, the

RACE symbol will appear steady on the

multi-function display.

This selection is ideal for the race track. For use, see on page 96.

Deactivating the CST system ( )

Selecting this mode, you can deactivate the CST system (always on upon engine start). When this mode is deactivated, the relevant warning light on the instrument panel will come on and the symbol will appear on the multi-function display.

An acoustic signal will sound at length to warn the driver that the driving mode has been changed.

When the CST system is “active”, its operation is signaled by the relative warning light on the instrument panel and by the (green) message CST ACTIVE on the multi-function display, which  ashes for at least 4 seconds.

In low- to medium-grip conditions (e.g., wet, icy, sandy roads), do not deactivate the CST system.

When the CST system is activated and the amber warning light illuminates, it means that there is a fault in one of the system parts. Contact your Authorized Ferrari Dealer.

Every time the ignition is turned on, the CST

system will reactivate.
