The vehicle symbol and sensor detection zones appear on the
TFT display: these zones indicate which part of the vehicle is
approaching an obstacle (if front or rear and if left, right or
central) and the distance from the obstacle (maximum, medium or
minimum).
If an obstacle is detected at maximum distance in the central front
part, it will be displayed as shown below (green).
If an obstacle is detected at medium distance in the central front
part, it will be displayed as shown below (orange).
If an obstacle is detected at minimum distance in the central front
part, it will be displayed as shown below (red).

About your Vehicle
If the front sensors are deactivated or not present, the display does
not show the symbols in the front. In the same way, if front sensors
are fitted and the rear ones are not activated, the display only
shows the symbols in the front. If all the sensors are activated, the
system can give several pieces of information at the same time: if
an obstacle is detected at a maximum distance in the front central
part and at a minimum distance in the rear right part, it will be
displayed as shown below.
If the parking sensor system symbols are being displayed and an
event occurs that needs to be displayed as an icon and/or special
message, the symbol is moved from the centre of the display to the
right as shown below.
Important note
If there is a higher priority failure such as a tyre puncture, the
TFT display will indicate this failure and the parking sensor
symbols will disappear.

Once the failure has been displayed, the parking sensor symbols
will go back to the centre of the display.

Simultaneous display of parking sensors and other systems
If other systems are activated when the parking sensors are being
displayed, the TFT display displays the sensors on the right of the
screen and the other active system on the left.
If the hard top is operated, the parking sensor display is deactivated
as the sensors will be detecting obstacles that may damage the
luggage compartment.
Cleaning the sensors
When cleaning the sensors, be very careful not to scratch or
damage them and avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths.
The sensors must be washed with clean water and car shampoo
added if necessary.
In car washes that use steam jet or high pressure water cleaning
equipment, quickly clean the sensors keeping the nozzle at a
distance of over 10 cm.
pe
For the repainting of bumpers or retouching the paintwork in
the sensor area, contact the Ferrari Service Network. If paint
is applied incorrectly, it may jeopardise proper operation of the
parking sensors.
Sensing range
The sensors allow the system to control the rear and front of the
vehicle: their position covers the central and side areas of the
vehicle.
If an obstacle is in the central area, it is detected at distances of
approximately 1.40 m depending on the type of obstacle and its
size.
If an obstacle is in the side area, it is detected at distances of less
than 0.8 m.
Failure signals
The system ECU checks all the components each time the reverse
gear is engaged.
A parking sensor system failure is indicated on the TFT display.
If there is a failure signal, stop the vehicle and turn the ignition key
to position 0 (Stop). Then try and clean the sensors or move them
away from any sources of ultrasound emissions (e.g. pneumatic
brakes of lorries or pneumatic drills) and turn the ignition key to
position II again. In this way, if the cause of malfunctioning has
been corrected, the system will start operating correctly again and
the failure buzzer will stop.
If the failure buzzer continues, contact the Ferrari Service Network to have the system checked.
144
About your Vehicle
Important note
Obstacles that may damage the luggage compartment (obstacles
at distances of less than 400 mm, see page 123) are detected
only once by the rear sensors prior to hydraulic operation of the
hard top. Any obstacles that appear after hard top activation will
not be detected.
Important note
The signals sent by the sensors may also be affected by damage
to the sensors caused by dirt, snow or ice on the sensors or
by ultrasound systems (e.g.. pneumatic brakes on lorries or
pneumatic drills) in the vicinity.
Important note
The sensors are able to detect obstacles with reasonably large,
even surfaces (e.g.: poles with diameters of over 60 mm, walls,
barriers, trees). Detection is not optimum with obstacles with
sharp projections or uneven surfaces.
Important note
When parking and operating the retractable hard top, always be
very careful to avoid obstacles that may be above or below the
sensors.
Important note
Objects placed close to the rear part of the vehicle are not
always detected by the system and may therefore damage the
vehicle or be damaged themselves.
Warning
However, the driver has full responsibility for parking
manoeuvres and in other potentially dangerous situations.
The system has been designed only as an aid during parking
manoeuvres and the operation of the retractable hard top,
since it detects obstacles that are outside the driver's range of
visibility.
The sensors are therefore not a substitute for the driver's care
and attention when parking and checking for the presence of
persons or objects.

Fault display
Fault visualisation logic
When a fault occurs, the corresponding warning light (if present)
comes on on the panel whereas a description of the fault (if
available) and the relevant symbol (if available) are displayed on
the left TFT display. The message appears on the display as soon as
the warning light (if present) comes on and the main screen page
that is displayed at that time is reduced.
The fault remains on the display for 20 seconds. When the display
cycle ends, if the fault does not have a special warning light on the

Fault priority levels
The simultaneous display of several faults follows a logic that
depends on the priority level assigned to it.
Priority level 0 - Extremely critical fault.
Priority level 1 - Critical fault.
Priority level 2 - Non-critical fault.
When several fault events occur at the same time, faults with
priority level 0 are displayed first, followed by priority level 1
and then priority level 2. The information on the various faults is
displayed in turn for 5 seconds each. In any case, the total display
time for each fault is never less than 20 seconds.
If a fault message with priority level 1 or 2 is being displayed, and
a new anomaly with the same priority level occurs, the last fault
message is only displayed after the first fault message has been
displayed for at least 2 seconds. If, on the other hand, another new
priority level 0 fault occurs, this is displayed immediately.
Indication of failure of turn indicators and running lights
A failure of the running lights (front and/or rear) and turn
indicators (front and/or rear) is indicated in the same way as other
faults but the vehicle symbol with the faulty running light or turn
indicator indicated in red is displayed together with a description
of the failure instead of the “External lights failure” symbol (see
page 149). When the display cycle ends or the OK button with
“ESCAPE” function has been pressed, the “External lights failure”
symbol is minimised.

keep the accelerator pedal pressed.
Important note
We recommend only using the device on long, dry stretches of
road requiring few gear changes (e.g. motorways).
Do not use the device for city driving.
Important note
PIT SPEED is a term taken from the motor sports world used by
Ferrari to indicate the speed memorised using the device and
does not endorse inappropriate behaviour on the road which
does not comply with Traffic Regulations.

System start-up
After turning the ignition key to position II (key-on), the TFT
display is activated on the instrument panel and system diagnosis
is performed. During diagnosis, which lasts 5 seconds, a check is
performed on the warning lights on the panel and the presence of
any faults is checked.
If diagnosis detects any errors, they are only displayed once the
5 seconds required for the check have elapsed. The cases listed
below are an exception and errors are displayed as soon as the key
is turned to on, even during diagnosis:
- Low engine oil pressure (see page 148).
- Inertia switch triggered (see page 148).
- Semi-automatic gearbox safety warnings.
- Deactivation of EPB warning (see page 183).
If the next scheduled maintenance deadline is approaching, each
time the key is turned to on, information on scheduled maintenance
is automatically displayed after diagnosis. For further information,
refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” paragraph on page 252.
Finally, each time the key is turned to on, the message for activation
of the alarm when an intrusion has been attempted (see page 19) is
also displayed (after diagnosis).
Once the system check has been completed, the gearbox display
is activated and the letter “P” (Parking) or “N” (Neutral) will be
displayed.

The vehicle is equipped with an electro-hydraulically controlled
gearbox system operated by means of paddles on the steering
wheel.
The default setting for the DCT gearbox is always “Automatic”
mode (see page 172).
Every time the vehicle is started, the DCT gearbox is in “Auto
easy exit” mode (see page 172) unless the vehicle was in
“Automatic” mode when the engine was turned off.
To exit the “Auto easy exit” mode operate the UP and DOWN
paddles (while the vehicle is moving) or
on the centre console.

Important note
Immediately release the UP and DOWN paddles or button R
after the gearbox display shows that the gear has been engaged;
a prolonged manoeuvre would cause the gearbox failure
warning light to turn on (see page 152) and triggering of the
buzzer.
Important note
If the engine compartment lid is open or not properly closed,
none of the gears can be engaged. When the vehicle is
stationary, with the driver-side door open or not properly closed
and the brake pedal released, the system disengages the gear
engaged after approximately two seconds.

Important note
When reverse is selected, an acoustic safety signal beeps
intermittently as long as “R” is engaged.
If the system automatically selects 2
shift from R to1st gear, this indicates that 1st gear has jammed.
Therefore, this is not a malfunction, as it falls within the system
operating logic. For the same reason, when shifting from 1
to “R”, the system will automatically engage “N” if the gear has
jammed.
During prolonged stops with the engine running, it is advisable to
keep the gearshift in “N”.

the speed of the vehicle.
UP-shifting
Operate the right-hand UP paddle without releasing the accelerator
pedal.
An UP-shift request is not accepted when engagement of the
requested gear forces the engine to underrev or if an UP-shift is
already in progress because of engine overrevving.
Gearshifting will be much quicker if the request is made with
the accelerator pedal pushed right down and the engine at over
5,500 rpm.
In any event, it is advisable to:
sShift gears without releasing the accelerator pedal if pressed.
sWait until gearshifting has been completed before requesting the
next shift, avoiding a rapid sequence of multiple requests.
UP-shifting due to overrevving
The system “automatically” engages a higher gear if the accelerator
pedal is pressed and the engine approaches the “runaway speed rate”
(overrevving).
Important note
This will not occur when the system is in “SPORT” and “ESC
OFF” driving mode.

About your Vehicle
DOWN-shifting
Use the left-hand DOWN paddle without releasing the accelerator
pedal.
A DOWN-shift request is not accepted if engagement of the
requested gear forces the engine beyond a certain RPM, depending
on the gear requested, or if a DOWN-shift is already in progress
because of engine underrevving.
In any event, it is advisable to:
s Shift gears without releasing the accelerator pedal if pressed.
s If DOWN-shifting is requested to start overtaking which requires
quick acceleration, press the accelerator pedal just before using
the paddle.
sWait until gearshifting has been completed before requesting the
next shift, avoiding a rapid sequence of multiple requests.
DOWN-shifting due to underrevving
sThe system shifts down “automatically” if the engine goes below a
minimum number of revs (1250 RPM).
sThe DOWN-shift request from the paddle is ignored if
gearshifting is already in progress due to engine underrevving.
“N” (Neutral) request
With the engine running, pull both UP and DOWN paddles towards
the steering wheel at the same time without pressing the brake pedal
to request neutral “N”.
If necessary, “N” can be requested at any speed.
Subsequently, if an “UP” or “DOWN” shift is requested, the system
will engage the gear most suited to the speed of the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle
When the vehicle stops, the system automatically engages 1
unless Neutral has already been requested.
When the vehicle is stationary and the engine is running, hold the
brake pedal down until ready to move off again.
Switching off the engine
The engine can be switched off with the gearbox either in “N” or
with a gear engaged.
After turning the ignition key from position II to position 0, the
gearbox display will remain on for a few more seconds to display
the engaged gear. If the gearbox is in “N” a buzzer will sound.
Before switching off, the letter “P” is displayed on the gearbox
display to inform the driver that the Park Lock has been activated.

About your Vehicle
Safe driving
For safe driving, it is essential that the driver be aware of the best
driving techniques suited to various circumstances. Always try to
prevent dangerous situations by driving with caution.
Before you drive
- Adjust the position of the seat, steering wheel and rear-view
mirrors, in order to obtain the best driving position.
- Adjust the backrest so that your chest is upright and your head is
as close to the headrest as possible.
- Carefully adjust the headrest so that your head, and not the neck,
is resting against it. Ensure that nothing (e.g. mat covers, etc.) is
blocking the pedals.
- Check that the lights and headlights are working properly.
- Ensure that any child restraint systems (e.g. child seats, cradles
etc.) are properly fixed on the passenger seat.
- Your reflexes are quicker if you eat lightly before driving: avoid
heavy meals before a trip.
- Do not drink alcoholic drinks before and during the journey.
At regular intervals, check the following:
- Tyre pressure and condition
- Engine oil level
- Engine coolant level and system condition
- Brake fluid level
- Steering fluid level
- Windscreen washer fluid level.
While travelling
- Caution is the number one rule for safe driving, which also means
you should take other people’s behaviour into consideration.
- Follow the Road Regulations in force in the country you are
driving in and always respect the speed limit.
- Always make sure that the driver and passengers have their seat
belts fastened and that all children are travelling in suitable child
seats.
- Good personal physical conditions ensure you can drive long
distances safely.
3
About your Vehicle
173
Warning
Driving under the influence of drugs or certain medications is
dangerous to yourself and others as well as contravening road
regulations and legal norms.
Travelling without your seat belt fastened increases the risk
of serious injury and death in the event of a collision. Always
fasten the seat belt and the child seat, if any.
Deactivate the passenger’s airbag (where possible) if a child seat
is fitted on the front seat.
Do not travel with objects lying around on the floor, especially
in front of the driver’s seat: in the event of braking, these
could slide under the pedals, making it impossible to brake or
accelerate.
Additionally, ensure that any loose floor mats sit correctly.
Water, ice and salt spread on icy roads may deposit on the brake
discs and reduce the efficiency of the initial braking.
- Make regular stops to loosen up your limbs and refresh yourself
and avoid driving for hours on end.
- Keep a constant air circulation in the passenger compartment.
- Never coast downhill with the engine off: in these conditions
the engine brake, servo brake and power steering are inefficient,
braking requires greater pressure on the pedal and steering will
be harder.
Driving at night
When you are travelling at night, follow these fundamental rules:
- Reduce speed, particularly on dark roads.
- Drive with due caution in consideration of the reduced visibility.
- If you start feeling tired or sleepy, stop immediately: to continue
driving would be a risk for yourself and for others. Continue only
after you have had a rest.
At night, it is difficult to judge the speed of vehicles in front of
you as you can only see their taillights: keep at a greater safety
distance than you would during the day.
- Use the high beams only outside of urban areas and when you are
sure that they will not disturb other drivers.
- Turn off the high beams when you see oncoming vehicles and use
the low beams.
- Keep the lights and headlights clean.
- Watch out for animals crossing the road when travelling outside
urban areas.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can cause hazardous situations.
All manoeuvres are more difficult on a wet road, as the tyres have
significantly less grip on the road. This means that the braking
distances increase considerably and road-holding decreases.
Here is some advice for driving in the rain:
- Keep a greater safety distance between yourself and the other
vehicles and reduce your speed.
- When it is raining very hard, visibility is also reduced. In these
cases, to make yourself more visible to others, turn on the low
beams even during the day.
174
About your Vehicle
- Do not drive through puddles at high speeds since you do not
know how deep they may be; Travelling through a puddle at high
speed can result in losing control of the vehicle (“aquaplaning”):
if this occurs, grip the steering wheel firmly.
Warning
If the road is wet, reduce your speed to avoid “aquaplaning”
(during which the tyre no longer touches the road surface. This
is due to the fact that, when the road is very wet and vehicle
speed is high, because of their particular shape or insufficient
depth, the side channels of the tyre tread are not capable of
removing all of the water channelled so that a layer of water is
placed between the road surface and the tyre. The fluid pressure
generated is so high that it supports the vehicle's weight making
it virtually impossible for the driver to control the vehicle).
- Use the ventilation system to demist the windscreen (see
page 199) and avoid visibility problems.
- Periodically check the condition of the windscreen wiper blades.
Driving in fog
Whenever possible, avoid travelling if there is thick fog. If you have
to drive in misty conditions, or if there is thick fog or fog banks,
follow these rules:
- Keep a moderate speed.
- Turn on the low beams, also during the day, and use the rear fog
light. Avoid using the high beams.
Warning
On stretches where visibility is good, turn off the rear fog light,
it may be annoying for the occupants of the vehicles behind
you.
- Remember that fog makes the road damp and therefore all
manoeuvres are more difficult and braking distances are longer.
- Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.
- As far as possible, avoid suddenly changing speed and direction.
- As far as possible, avoid overtaking.
- In the event of an emergency stop, (e.g. failures, inability to
proceed due to poor visibility conditions, etc.) try to free the
main driving lane. Then turn on the hazard warning lights and, if
possible, the low beams. On approaching another vehicle, sound
the horn rhythmically.
Driving on mountain roads
Below is some advice for driving on steep mountain roads:
- To prevent the brakes from overheating when driving downhill,
use the engine to brake by engaging a lower gear.
- Never coast downhill or drive downhill with the engine off or
in neutral, nor with the ignition key removed from the steering
column.
Drive at a moderate speeds and do not “cut” corners.
-
- Remember that overtaking uphill is slower and requires a longer
free stretch of road. If you are overtaken when driving uphill,
ensure that the other vehicle can pass easily.
3
About your Vehicle
175
Driving on snowy or icy roads
Below is some advice for driving in these conditions:
- Keep a very moderate speed.
- Keep a safe distance from the vehicles in front of you.
- Fit snow tyres approved for the vehicle.
- Given the poor grip, use the engine brake as much as possible
and avoid sudden braking.
- Avoid sudden acceleration and sharp changes in direction.
- During the winter season, even apparently dry roads can have icy
sections.
Therefore, be careful when driving along stretches of road in the
shade as there may be icy patches.
Driving with the “ABS” braking system
The ABS system assists the driver as follows:
- It prevents the wheels from locking and skidding during
emergency braking, particularly in low-grip conditions.
- It allows braking and changing direction at the same time. This
feature is affected by the physical limits and lateral grip of the
tyres.
- When the ABS is activated, you will feel a slight pulsing of the
brake pedal during emergency braking or in low grip conditions.
Do not release the pedal but continue to push it to give continuity
to the braking action.
- The ABS prevents the wheels from locking, but it does not
increase the physical limits of grip between the tyres and the road:
keep a safe distance from the vehicles ahead and reduce speed
before curves.
Power steering system
The power steering system uses the power produced by the engine
to help the driver steer more precisely while exerting less force on
the steering wheel.
Important note
Remember that power steering does not work when the engine
is switched off and more force is therefore needed when
steering.
Warning
Do not keep the steering wheel fully turned (locked position) to
the right or the left for more than 15 seconds when the engine is
running. This may damage the power steering system.
Important note
If the power steering system is not working properly, as
indicated by a symbol which appears on the TFT display (see
page 150), contact the Ferrari Service Network.

Park Lock
The Park Lock is a locking device built into the gearbox.
This device is used to prevent the vehicle from moving when the
multi-disc clutches are open, i.e., with the engine off and/or without
the hydraulic pressure required for gearbox operating.
The device operates automatically every time the key is turned to
off: if a gear is engaged when the key is turned to off, the Park
Lock is immediately activated. If the gearbox is in “N” (neutral), the
Park Lock starts operating after a minimum preset time (needed for
the Carwash procedure, see next paragraph). To inform the driver
that the Park Lock has been engaged, the letter “P” is displayed on
the gearbox display.
The Park Lock is deactivated when the engine is running, the first
gear or “R” is requested (with the brake pedal pressed) and the
engine compartment lid has been closed correctly.
If there is a system failure, refer to the “Emergency unlocking of
Park Lock” section on page 246.
Carwash procedure
The Park lock device can be electrically disabled on a temporary
basis when the engine is switched off by performing the Carwash
procedure.
This procedure is necessary when the vehicle has to be moved with
the engine off and when washing the vehicle.
Warning
When the Park Lock device is electronically deactivated
(Carwash procedure), the vehicle may move.
The vehicle is only kept stationary by the parking brake which
must be applied.
To perform the Carwash procedure, do the following:
- with the engine running, select the first gear;
- select neutral “N”;
- switch off the engine;
- turn the key to position II (key-on) within 3 seconds of switching
off.

Suspension damping control (optional)
On request, the vehicle can be fitted with latest generation
MagneRide™ magnetorheological suspension (optional), a system
developed by Delphi and perfected by Ferrari for continuous
automatic damping control.
By processing data received from the vehicle dynamics sensors
and sensors that detect bodyshell movements, the ECU interprets
the driving conditions and the road surface and immediately
adjusts suspension response by varying the control current of each
shock absorber. These sensors allow the ECU to calculate the
vehicle speed, vertical and lateral acceleration, steering angle and
instantaneous pressure in the braking system, and hence to control
suspension damping.
This system not only ensures an optimal compromise between
racing-style performance (handling) and comfort, but is capable
of emphasising either aspect by using the different adjustments
available controlled by the “Manettino” driving mode control
switch. Three different setting levels are available on this vehicle.
Level 1 (COMFORT)
Slightly more flexible setting, optimised to better absorb road
unevenness and provide a better grip on wet road surfaces
(Manettino set to COMFORT).
Level 2 (SPORT)
Slightly more rigid adjustment optimised for sports-style driving
and for high speed (with medium-high grip), without significantly
affecting comfort (Manettino set to SPORT).
Level 3 (RACE)
Even more rigid setting optimised for use on the race track
(Manettino set to ESC OFF).

Conditions required to activate automatic engine stop
To activate the automatic engine stop while driving:
- the Stop&Start system must be activated by pressing the button
on the roof panel (LED on);
- the driver’s seat belt must be fastened.
For safety reasons and to guarantee driving comfort and correct
operating of the entire vehicle, automatic engine switching-off is
deactivated when:
- the accelerator pedal is depressed;
- a potentially dangerous situation is identified (steep road, vehicle
stationary with wheels turned, i.e. when turning at a crossroads or
on a roundabout);
- the system recognises vehicle motion in slow traffic or a parking
manoeuvre (checking reverse gear engagement, time elapsed since
last stop, driving speed);
- maximum air conditioning and heating system performance is
requested (“low”, “max defrost” or “rear screen demisting”);
- external temperatures are very low or very high;
- the gearbox is in the “N” position;
- the DCT gearbox Park Lock has been manually released;
- a failure interferes with proper system operating.
The system also constantly monitors some of the vehicle operating
parameters (battery charge level, engine coolant temperature,
catalytic converter temperature, clutch oil temperature, vacuum
level in brake servo, climate comfort in passenger compartment) so
that engine switching off can be deactivated in certain conditions to
guarantee safety and vehicle operating and minimise the impact on
on-board climate comfort.
Important note
After the first cold start, the Stop&Start system may take a few
minutes before it is ready. This time period allows some of the
engine parameters (catalytic converter temperature, for example)
to reach the values required to reduce emissions.
Important note
If the engine continues to run when the vehicle is stationary
and the brake pedal is pressed, even if the Stop&Start system
appears to be activated, it means that the system has disabled
automatic switching off of the engine. When this happens, no
specific signal is displayed on the instrument panel: this is to be
considered normal.

About your Vehicle
Information on automatic restarting of engine
With the Stop&Start system activated in a stopped vehicle
condition, the driver can restart the engine by:
- releasing the brake pedal;
- UP-shifting;
- engaging reverse gear;
- pressing the accelerator pedal.
Warning
If the engine is switched off accidentally and not by the
Stop&Start system, it must be restarted manually by the driver
by pressing the ENGINE START button and reengaging the gear
using the shift paddles located behind the steering wheel. This
condition is indicated on the TFT display by the message “Press
ENGINE START button to restart”, accompanied by an acoustic
signal.
For safety reasons and to guarantee comfort when the vehicle
is stationary and correct operating of the entire vehicle, the
Stop&Start system also automatically restarts the engine when:
- the ENGINE START button on the steering wheel has been
pressed;
- the function has been deactivated by pressing the button located
on the roof panel;
- the driver’s seat belt has been unfastened;
- the driver-side door has been opened;
- the hard top is being opened or closed;
- rear screen demisting has been requested or the air conditioning
and heating system set to “low” or “max defrost”.
The system also constantly monitors some of the vehicle operating
parameters (battery charge level, engine coolant temperature,
catalytic converter temperature, clutch oil temperature, vacuum
level in brake servo, climate comfort in passenger compartment,
vehicle speed) so that the engine can be automatically started in
certain conditions to guarantee safety and vehicle operating and
minimise the impact on on-board climate comfort.

Permanent deactivation of automatic restarting and manual start procedures
After automatically switching off the engine using the Stop&Start
system, automatic restarting requested by the driver may not always
be possible: this means that the vehicle systems have permanently
deactivated automatic restarting.
If this occurs, the vehicle must be restarted manually: This
condition is indicated on the TFT display by the message “Press
ENGINE START button to restart” accompanied by an acoustic
signal.
Warning
If automatic restarting is permanently disabled, the vehicle
behaves in the same way as a vehicle with no Stop&Start system:
to restart, the driver must perform a manual start by pressing
the ENGINE START button and using the shift paddles located
behind the steering wheel.
Permanent deactivation of automatic restarting occurs when:
- the engine compartment lid is open;
- automatic engine restarting has not been successful;
- a failure has been detected that may interfere with operating of the
Stop&Start system.
At times, depending on the seriousness of the failure, the ENGINE START button may have to be held down for a few seconds to
restart the engine: this condition is indicated on the TFT display
by the message “Press and hold ENGINE START button to start”
accompanied by an acoustic signal.

with “ESCAPE” function is pressed, the message disappears and the
symbol is reduced to an icon.
Precautions to be taken during maintenance work
Always turn the ignition key to position 0 before carrying out any
repair and/or maintenance work on the vehicle. If work has to
be carried out on the vehicle with the ignition key in position II,
check that the Stop&Start has been deactivated by performing the
following procedure before doing any repair and/or maintenance
work:
if the ignition key is in position II, turn it to 0 before turning
back to II, then press the Stop&Start system activation/
deactivation button on the roof panel (see page 186). If the
message “Stop&Start ON” appears on the TFT display when the
button is pressed, press the button again. Check that the message
“Stop&Start OFF” appears on the TFT display for 5 seconds. The
button LED must be off.
Warning
NEVER work on the vehicle if the message “Stop&Start active”
appears on the TFT display.

Disconnecting the battery
Before disconnecting the battery, deactivate the electronic alarm
using the remote control.
Warning
The battery quick release connector may only be used by
qualified personnel, should it not be possible to connect the
battery conditioner.
The battery is in integral component of the vehicle, and required
the vehicle itself to be used frequently in order to function
correctly.
Infrequent vehicle usage may reduce battery performance or
result in complete battery failure. Constant usage of the specific
battery conditioner provided by Ferrari for each model ensures
that the original battery installed in the vehicle is kept charged
correctly and in working order
Warning
Never disconnect the battery from the electrical system when
the engine is running. Before disconnecting the battery, lower
the side windows by at least 2-3 centimetres to avoid damaging
the strips when opening and closing the doors.

Warning
When the battery is connected and charged, this operation is
automatically performed when the doors are opened and closed.
The windows must remain lowered until the charged battery
is reconnected. If the battery is discharged with the windows
completely raised, only open the door if necessary and use the
utmost caution; do not close the door again until the windows
can be lowered.
Important note
We recommend using the battery conditioner if the vehicle is
going to left unused for a long period.
Reconnecting the battery
Place the clamp on the battery and fasten it by closing the locking
lever.
Each time the battery is reconnected, do the following before
starting the engine:
- close both doors and close the luggage compartment lid; unlock
and lock the doors using the remote control; open the luggage
compartment lid using the remote control;
- adjust the clock (date and time on instrument panel);
- close both doors and fully raise the driver side and passenger side
windows to their upper limit; check that the windows move down
to the “target position” when the doors are opened.
Warning
WAIT at least 1 minute before inserting the key in the ignition
switch.
Before starting the engine, wait at least 60 second with the
ignition key in position II to allow the electronic system that
controls the motor-driven valves and the AC ECU to run a selfacquisition process.
During this period, no devices must be activated.
232
Advice for Emergency Situations
The Motronic ECU self-acquisition cycle will only function correctly
when the intake air temperature is above 5 °C (41 °F).
After removing the battery from the vehicle or disconnecting it
from the electrical system using the battery master switch, it is
important to check that the external temperature is within the
indicated values when reconnecting before performing the selfacquisition cycle.
Checking the battery
The battery is placed in the centre of the engine compartment.
The vehicle is equipped with a sealed lead acid battery that does
not require maintenance.
Warning
The battery does not need topping up with distilled water or
sulphuric acid.

Emergency starting
If the battery is flat, you can perform an emergency start by
connecting the special jump leads to the battery of another vehicle,
a portable jump starter or an external battery.
Important note
Emergency starting can only be performed with batteries with a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
Important note
For emergency starting, only use leads that do not allow reverse
polarity, with sufficient cross-section and insulated clamps.

Advice for Emergency Situations
Battery conditioner
The vehicle is equipped with a battery conditioner to maintain and
recharge the battery.
Important note
If a battery is not periodically maintained, it will become
irreversibly discharged. The time taken to reach this state
depends on the battery charge level and we therefore
recommend that you always use the battery conditioner when
parking for over 70 hours.
The device is kept in a pocket inside the car cover bag supplied
with the vehicle. The socket for the battery conditioner is installed
at the back of the vehicle on the luggage compartment lid next to
the number plate light.
Connection is via a magnetic coupling.
Warning
Place the battery conditioner where it can be easily seen away
from heat sources and out of children's reach.
If the car is going to be left unused for periods longer than one
week, we recommend that you connect the battery conditioner in
order to keep the battery in good working order.
Warning
To avoid damaging the conditioner and vehicle, always
disconnect the magnetic coupling before starting the vehicle.
Important note
Additional more detailed technical and safety information on
use of the device can be found in the leaflet supplied with the
vehicle.

Exhaust system overheating alarm devices
(“Slow Down” function)
If the engine is running unevenly resulting in exhaust system
overheating, the “Slow Down” function is activated: a special
symbol (see page 149) appears on the TFT display accompanied by
a message.
The message varies according to three alarm levels:
sTemperature too high: “Catalysts temp. too high. Engine
performance limited”.
sCatalytic converter temperature system failure: “Catalysts temp.
not plausible. Go to dealer slowly”.
Displaying of the message is controlled by the thermistor via the
engine control ECU.
Warning
Incorrect use of the vehicle may cause the “Slow Down”
function to be activated.
Warning
If the temperature is too high:
the temperature in the catalytic converters has reached a
dangerous level and could damage them; if you continue to
drive, the engine control ECU intervenes and reduces the
torque produced by the engine.
The torque limit remains active until the catalytic converter
temperature goes down to normal operating values.
Warning
If catalytic converter temperature system failure information is
displayed:
- the engine control ECU intervenes and reduces the torque
produced by the engine;
the driver must slow down and slo

Warning
If the temperature is high:

decreases.
236
Advice for Emergency Situations
Warning
If the EOBD warning light (see page 149) comes on at the same
time as the “Slow Down” message, go to the Ferrari Service Network to have the ECU error memory checked. Do not
proceed in any other way.
Clutch overheat alarm devices
High performance use of the vehicle at high engine speeds for
prolonged periods and at high ambient temperatures may cause the
DCT gearbox clutch to overheat. In this case, the following safety
warnings will be displayed on the TFT display, corresponding to
two different alarm levels:
- The message “Clutch overheated”.
- The message “Clutch overheated” accompanied by an audible
warning signal.
When the message “Clutch overheated” is displayed, the driver may
notice a difference in the behaviour of the system during gearshifts
and/or during standing starts.
Important note
Certain high performance actions (such as, but not limited to:
“LAUNCH” control start, standing start with wheelspin with
Manettino set to ESC OFF, etc.) may be inhibited to prevent
excessive overheating of the clutches: the system warns the driver
that the action is not permitted, visualising the message “Operation
not admissible” on the TFT display.
Warning
As soon as any of the warnings described above appear on the
TFT display, the driver must slow down and continue driving at
an engine speed between 2000 and 3000 rpm and minimising
gear shift frequency to allow the clutches to cool down as
quickly as possible, and maintain these driving conditions until
the message “Clutch overheated” is no longer displayed.
Engine malfunction alarm devices
If the “Engine diagnostic system failure” (EOBD) warning light
flashes or illuminates permanently while the engine is running, it
indicates that the engine or the emission control system may be
malfunctioning.
The electronic system detects and isolates the error preventing
damage to the engine or the production of harmful emissions.
Warning
When the “engine diagnostic system failure” warning light
comes on, engine performance may be considerably reduced.
Drive carefully, avoiding sudden acceleration and high speeds.
Contact the Ferrari Service Network immediately.

Replacing the brake pads and discs
Brake pads
The front brake pads have a wear detector connected to the brake
warning light; if this warning light comes on or braking is not
even, have the pad thickness and the state of the braking surfaces
checked.
The minimum brake pad thickness is 3 mm (thickness of the
friction material only).
Replacing brake pads
When the brake failure warning light comes on, it means that
the front brake pads are excessively worn and must be replaced
immediately.
Warning
To guarantee the quality of the components and proper
installation, we recommend that you have the brake pads
replaced at a Ferrari Service Centre.
After replacement, avoid sudden braking until the new pads are
seated properly (approximately 300 km).
Manual closing of the retractable hard top
Warning
For manual closing of the retractable hard top, two people are

Important note
When manually opening the retractable hard top, special care
must be taken not to damage the internal mechanisms which
may jam during the initial lifting stage when the system is not
hydraulically operated.
To avoid damaging the mechanisms, when first manually opening
the retractable hard top (Fig. 1), simply push the RH and LH
kinematic hooks (Fig. 2) towards the front of the vehicle while the
top is being lifted (Fig. 1).
Once the Tonneau Cover has been raised by approximately 100 mm
without forcing it, you can continue to open it by releasing the
hooks in Fig. 2.
