CODE

Alarm system

The Ferrari CODE system

In order to increase protection against attempts of 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 recognised by the system.

Two keys are supplied with the vehicle.

The key is used to:

- starting the vehicle;

- locking/unlocking the doors (centralised door locking);

- activating/deactivating the passenger airbag (optional);

- opening the luggage compartment lid;

- activating/deactivating the alarm system.

Operation

Each time the ignition key is removed from position 0 (see page 49),

the protection system activates the engine immobilizer.

Upon starting the engine, when the key is turned to II:

1) If the code is recognised, the CODE warning light on the instrument

panel turns off within one second, while the EOBD warning light

turns off after about four seconds, after the ECU has completed its

diagnostic cycle; if these conditions are met, the protection system

recognises the key code and deactivates the engine immobilizer.

2) If the CODE warning light remains on and the EOBD one goes

off after four seconds (ECU diagnostics) and then comes on again

immediately, 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 immobilizer stays on, try with the other keys. If you are still

unable to start the engine, use the emergency starting procedure

(see the chapter “Emergency starting” on page 8) and contact the

Ferrari Service Network.

While driving, with the ignition key in position II:

1) If the CODE warning light comes on, it means that the system is

running a self-diagnostic cycle. At the first stop, you can test the

system: stop the engine by turning the ignition key to position 0

and then turn the key back into position II: the CODE warning

light will come on and should go out 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 flashes, the vehicle is not protected

by the immobilizer. Contact the Ferrari Service Network

immediately to have all the keys stored in the system memory.

Strong impacts can damage the electronic components in the key.

Each key supplied has its own specific code, which must be stored in the

memory of the system control unit.

Duplicating the keys

When ordering additional keys, remember that the memorisation

procedure (up to maximum of 7 keys) must be carried out on all the

keys, including those already in your possession. Directly contact the

Ferrari Service Network, bringing with you all the keys in your

possession, the Ferrari CODE system CODE CARD, a personal ID

and the identification and registration 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 fails to disable the engine immobilizer, the

CODE warning light will remain illuminated, the EOBD warning light

will turn off after four seconds and then will come on immediately;

the engine will not start. The engine can only be started with the

emergency procedure.

We recommend that you read the whole procedure carefully 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 moment the CODE and

EOBD warning lights are on.

3) Keep the accelerator pedal fully depressed. After approximately

8 seconds, the EOBD warning light will go out; now release the

accelerator and get ready to count the number of times the EOBD

warning light flashes.

4) Wait until the number of flashes is equal to the first digit on your

CODE CARD, then depress the accelerator pedal and keep it

depressed until the EOBD warning light switches off after lighting

for approximately 4 seconds; you may now release the accelerator

pedal.

5) The EOBD warning light starts flashing again; after a number of

flashes equal to the second digit on your CODE CARD, depress the

accelerator pedal and keep it depressed.

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 lights up for 4 seconds and

then switches off; you may now release the accelerator pedal.

8) A quick flashing of the EOBD warning light (about 4 seconds)

confirms that procedure has been carried out correctly.

9) Start the engine turning the key to II.

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 start, it is advisable to contact the FERRARI SERVICE

NETWORK as the emergency starting procedure has to be performed upon each

starting.

Electronic alarm

The electronic alarm system performs the following functions:

- remote control for centralised door locking/unlocking;

- perimeter surveillance, detecting if doors and lids are opened;

- motion detection, detecting intrusion into the passenger

compartment;

- vehicle movement surveillance.

The engine immobilizer function is ensured by the Ferrari CODE system,

which activates automatically when the ignition key is removed from the

ignition switch.

Activation

To turn on the electronic alarm, press button A on the key:

the direction indicators flash once;

- the system “beeps”;

- the red LED on the dashboard flashes;

- the centralised door locking system is activated and the doors are

locked.

The alarm system is activated after approximately 25 seconds and the

alarm is triggered if:

- a door is opened;

- the luggage compartment lid is opened;

- the engine compartment lid is opened;

- someone attempts to enter the vehicle from a window;

- the power supply is disconnected;

- the siren is disconnected;

- the vehicle is moved.

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

flashing 9 times when you activate the alarm system: this means that

one of the doors or the front/rear lid is open or not properly closed

and therefore is not protected by the perimeter surveillance. Check

for correct closing of the doors, front/rear lid and close the open door

or lid without deactivating the alarm system: the direction indicators

flashing 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 flash 9 times when the alarm system is activated

and the doors, front and rear lids are properly closed, it means that the

self-diagnostic function has detected a malfunction in the system: contact the

FERRARI SERVICE NETWORK to have the system checked.

Deactivation

To deactivate the vehicle electronic alarm, press button B on the key:

- the direction indicators flash twice;

- the system emits a double beep;

- the red LED on the dashboard switches off;

- the dome lights, under door lights and external rear view mirror

lights turn on;

- the centralised door locking system is activated and the doors are

unlocked.

Pressing button B 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 flat, to gain access to the vehicle, fit the

key into one of the two door locks, then turn it to release the lock. The

alarm will start to sound.

Start the vehicle following the standard procedure; the alarm will turn off.

Deactivating the motion sensing system

The motion sensing system can be deactivated, by pressing button C

on the roof panel. When this function is deactivated, the LED on the

button flashes for 3 seconds and then turns off.

Deactivating the anti-lift alarm

Pressing button D deactivates the anti-lift protection 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 during your

absence.

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

Ministerial homologation

The electronic alarm system has been homologated in all the countries

where radio frequency legislation is in force.

The homologation number is shown in the figure.

For those markets that require the transmitter and/or receiver marking,

the homologation number is found on the component.

“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 having run 100 km (62 miles), a message on the display will warn

the driver not to drive any further.

Always comply with the specified wheel alignment values, as this is

fundamental to obtain the best performance from your tyres and to help

ensure they last as long as possible.

Further information on these tyres and the relevant pressure monitoring

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