The NHTSA’S Toll-free Auto Safety Hotline

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause

injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Trafc Safety

Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying

Ferrari S.p.A.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it nds that

a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your

dealer, or Ferrari S.p.A.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-

9393 (or 1-703-366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department

of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about

motor vehicle safety calling the Hotline.

Fuels Containing Alcohol

For its fuel injection systems, Ferrari uses components and materials designed for

longevity and reliability. However, no specic tests have been carried out to assure the

reliability of the system when using fuel containing alcohol. Consequently, we suggest that

our customers do not use fuel containing alcohol on Ferrari vehicles.

Introduction

This Owner’s Manual is designed to help

ensure you get the best value from your

vehicle and to provide information on

routine maintenance.

We advise you to read it carefully before

driving. The Owner’s Manual is an integral

part of the vehicle and it must therefore

always be kept on board.

This manual refers to vehicles with two

types of transmission:

• F1 electronically-controlled gearbox

• mechanical gearbox

Therefore some information may vary

depending on the gearbox installed.

Consulting the manual

To facilitate reading and fast consultation,

the topics have been divided into sections

and chapters. The important parts requiring

particular attention are easily identiable in

the sections and chapters.

Extreme caution required: failure

to comply with the instructions

could cause hazardous situations involving

personal and vehicle safety!

Important note: warning aimed at

preventing any damage to the vehicle and

thus hazards involving the safety of persons.

Service

The information contained in this manual is

limited to those instructions and indications

that are strictly required for the use and

good preservation of the vehicle.

Carefully following the instructions

contained herein will help you get the best

results and satisfaction from your vehicle.

We also recommend you have all the checks

and service carried out at an Authorized

Ferrari Dealer, as they have the skilled

staff and appropriate equipment available.

See the “Sales and Service Organization”

manual for the locations of Authorized

Ferrari Dealers.

The Authorized Ferrari Dealers are at

your complete disposal for any information

and suggestions.

Updating

The high quality of your vehicle is

enhanced by constant improvements and

therefore there may be differences between

this manual and your vehicle.

All specications and illustrations

contained in this manual refer to those

resulting as of the printing date.

Abbreviations

Some descriptions and terms with

particular meanings are found in this

manual in an abbreviated form:

Spare parts

When replacing parts or topping up

lubricants and uids, we recommend you

use original spare parts, lubricants and

uids recommended by Ferrari.

The Ferrari warranty may be voided if

Original Ferrari Spare Parts are not

used for repairs.

Chassis

The chassis of this vehicle is entirely

constructed of aluminum.

If the chassis is damaged in an accident, have

it repaired by an Authorized Ferrari

Dealer only.

Using non-original spare parts and having

inexperienced personnel perform repairs

may have serious consequences for the

vehicle.

In normal conditions of use, the chassis

does not require any maintenance; it

is however advisable to contact your

Authorized Ferrari Dealer at the

intervals shown in the Maintenance

Schedule in order to have it checked.

Should emergency repairs be

required, it is advisable to have the

vehicle checked by an Authorized Ferrari

Dealer as soon as possible.

F1 gearbox

Warning: The vehicle may be tted

with an electro-hydraulically-

controlled gearbox system, controlled by

means of levers on the steering wheel.

Even though the system can be used

in “Automatic” mode, it should not

be considered an automatic gearbox.

Therefore, for proper use, always follow the

instructions given in this manual on page

88.

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.

18

“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.
