    1) If the code is recognized, the CODEwarning light on the instrument panelgoes off within a second, while theEOBDwarning light goes off afterabout four seconds once the ECUdiagnostic cycle has been completed.In these conditions, the protectionsystem recognizes the key code anddeactivates the engine immobilizer.

    2) If the CODE warning light stays onand the EOBD warning light does not

    go off after the four seconds requiredby the ECU to run a diagnostic cycle,the code has not been recognised. Inthis case, it is advisable to turn the keyback into position 0 then back to II. Ifthe immobilizer stays on, try with theother keys. If you are still unable to

    start the engine, do an emergency start(see the chapter Emergency starting)and contact the Ferrari ServiceNetwork.

    When driving with the ignition key inposition II:

    1) If the CODEwarning light comes on,it means that the system is running aself-diagnostic cycle. At the rst stopyou can test the system: switch offthe engine by turning the ignitionkey to position 0, then turn it back toposition II: the CODE warning lightwill come on and should go off withinone second. If the warning light stays

    on, repeat the procedure describedpreviously leaving the key at 0formore that 30 seconds.

    If the problem persists, contact the FerrariService Network.2) If the CODEwarning light ashes, it

    means that the vehicle is not protectedby the immobilizer device.

    Immediately contact the Ferrari ServiceNetwork to have all the keys stored in thememory.

    Strong impact can damage the electroniccomponents in the key.

    Each key supplied has its own specic code,which must be stored in the memory of thesystem control unit.

    Duplicating the keys

    When ordering additional keys, rememberthat the storage procedure (maximum 7keys) must be carried out for all the keys,including those already in your possession.Directly contact the Ferrari ServiceNetwork, bringing with you all the keysin your possession, the CODE CARD forthe Ferrari CODE system, a personal IDdocument and the registration documentsproving ownership of the car.The codes of any keys that are not availablewhen the new storage procedure is carriedout will be deleted from the memory toprevent any lost or stolen keys being usedto start the vehicle.

    Emergency starting

    If the Ferrari CODE fails to disable theengine immobilizer, the CODEwarninglight comes on xed and the EOBDwarning light goes off after four secondsand then comes on again immediately, andthe engine will not start. In this condition,the engine can only be started with theemergency starting procedure.It is recommended to carefully readthrough the whole procedure beforecarrying it out.

    respect to the longitudinal axis of thevehicle: in addition to the pretensioners, theairbags intervene.The load limiting devices on the seat beltsprovide a suitable restraining action for theoccupant, so as to prevent serious injury tohis/her chest.

    The protective action of the airbags isalways integrated with the seat belts

    and the pretensioners. If the seat belts arenot fastened the driver and/or passengermay be seriously injured. In the event ofcollisions, side impacts or vehicle rollovers,i.e. when the airbags are not activated, it isessential to have the seat belts fastened.

    Deformable bodyThe deformable bodyshell absorbs shockand distributes it over the entire structureof the vehicle allowing progressivedeceleration.The passenger compartment structure, onthe other hand, has been designed to offermaximum resistance without undergoingdeformation, with the aim of ensuring aprotective survival cell for the occupants.

    Active safety

    The active safety system has been designedto prevent collisions.Apart from the manoeuvrability, stabilityand acceleration features of the vehicle, theactive safety components are the following: braking system

    air conditioning and heating system external lights buzzer and warning lights (ashing).The braking system comprises themechanical brake system and the electronictraction stability control system (CST)which prevents the wheels from lockingand always provides good manoeuvrabilityand stability.The possibility of fast acceleration canin some cases get you out of dangeroussituations. However, always use theaccelerator with extreme caution. Duringacceleration of the driving wheels, theanti-skid system may help you in certaindangerous situations.The air conditioning and heating systemin the passenger compartment can add todriving comfort and keep you alert so thatyou can react quickly when necessary.It is very important to see and be seenclearly, hence it is essential to turn on theexternal lights when the conditions sorequire.

    The exhaust gas generated by therunning engine may be hazardous,especially when in closed spaces. Aswell as consuming oxygen, the enginedischarges carbon dioxide, carbon oxide

    and other toxic gases. The fuel is highly ammable and emits

    vapours which may be noxious if inhaled. Do not use naked ames or create sparks

    near the open fuel tank or in any othercondition where fuel comes into contactwith air.

    The oils used may also be ammable:take the same precautions as adopted forthe fuel.

    The uid contained in the battery ispoisonous, corrosive and ammable. Donot let it spill out and come into contactwith the skin, eyes or objects. Do not usenaked ames or create sparks near the

    battery.In any case, observe the various warningscontained in this manual.

    Seat beltsIf used correctly, the seat belts, incombination with the pretensioners andthe load limiting devices, protect theoccupants from all types of impact andrmly secure them to the vehicle structure,thus preventing dangerous jerks against the

    xed parts of the passenger compartment.Ferrari recommends you use theseat belts correctly fastened and

    adjusted at all times!Correct use of the seat belts can reducethe risk of serious injury in the event of anaccident or if the vehicle overturns.The standard seat belts are automatic, with3 attachment points, and an emergencyinertial locking winder tted withpretensioner and load limiting device.For maximum protection, keep the backrestin the upright position, rest your backcomfortably against it and adjust the seatbelt in height so that it ts tightly across

    Special warnings

    This vehicle has been constructed incompliance with the strictest personal andenvironmental safety standards.Nevertheless, a few rules should befollowed.Particular attention must be paid to:

    Overheated components: hightemperatures develop in the enginecompartment in proximity of the exhaustsystem.

    Do not park the car on paper, grass, dryleaves or other ammable materials. Theycould catch re if they come into contactwith hot parts of the exhaust system.

    Do not t other heat shields or removethose tted on the exhaust system.

    Do not let ammable substances comeinto contact with the exhaust system.

    Moving parts on the vehicle, such asfan belts etc. are always protected byappropriate systems.

    Do not remove the guards or operate onthe moving parts without taking the dueprecautions.

    Fastening the seat belts

    After properly adjusting the seat andheadrest: Grip the buckle A, slowly pull the belt

    and insert the belt tongue into the buckleB (if the belt locks while you are pullingit out, let it wind back briey and pull it

    out again without jerking). Make sure that it has clicked into the

    locked position. Position the seat belt correctly.

    If the drivers seat belt is not fastened, whenyou turn the ignition key to position II,the warning light on the instrument panelilluminates and remains lit as long as theseat belt is not fastened.60 seconds after a speed of 10 km/h (6.21mph) is exceeded and up to 25 km/h(15.53 mph), a buzzer sounds to warn thedriver that the seat belt is not fastened.When the speed of 25 km/h (15.53 mph) isexceeded, the buzzer activates immediately

    and stops after 90 seconds. This acousticsignal is emitted only once, even if thevehicle speed goes above and below theabove mentioned limits. The acoustic signalis repeated (when the vehicle speed is inthe indicated ranges) only if the seat beltis fastened and unfastened again or, in anycase, every time the engine is turned off andthen on.

    Do not use any devices (clips, catches, etc.)that hold the seat belt away from your

    body. Do not allow a child to sit on thepassengers lap with both of them

    fastened with the passengers seat belt.

    Adjusting the seat belt in height

    Press button D to release the adjustmentdevice and move it to the desiredposition.

    Always check that it is locked. The seatbelt is properly adjusted when it passesabout mid-way between the end of theshoulder and the neck. The lower partmust t tightly across the pelvis and notthe abdomen.

    Unfastening the seat belts

    Push the release button E. Guide the belt hooking tongue A back to

    its rest position.

    Load limiting devices

    In the event of impacts at high speeds,with sharp deceleration, the loadlimiting device progressively releases thebelt when the tension value reaches apredened threshold. This action reduces

    the possibility of injury to the chest andshoulders of the occupant.

    Pretensioners

    The pretensioner is activated in the eventof a violent head-on collision. The belt willrewind by a few centimetres a momentbefore the restraining action begins,thereby ensuring perfect tightness acrossthe body.

    Activation of the pretensioner is indicatedby the relevant warning light on theinstrument panel coming on and by the seatbelt locking.

    After activation, the pretensionerceases to function and it cannot be

    repaired under any circumstances. Pleasecontact the Ferrari Service Network tohave it replaced.When the pretensioner is activated, a smallamount of powder is released. This powderis not harmful and does not indicate thestart of a re.

    Maintenance of the seat belts andpretensioners

    Following a collision of a certain impact,replace the seat belts that were worn atthe time even if they may not appear tobe damaged.

    Periodically check that the screws on the

    anchoring points are tight and that thebelt is intact and slides smoothly.

    The belt must be kept clean; any dirt onthe belt could jeopardise the efciency ofthe belt winder.

    To clean the seat belt, wash it by handwith mild soap and water and let it dry.Do not use strong detergents, bleach oraggressive solvents, as they can weakenthe bres.

    Do not let the belt winders get wet:proper functioning is guaranteed only ifthey are kept dry.

    The pretensioner requires nomaintenance or lubrication.

    If immersed in water or mud, thepretensioner must necessarily be replaced. The pretensioner must be replaced at

    the intervals specied in the WarrantyBooklet and Service Time Schedule.

    All work on any part of the safetysystem components must be carried

    out by the Ferrari Service Network.It is not permitted to remove or makemodications of any kind to the seat belts, beltwinders and pretensioners.

    seatbelts must be tted.For installation and use of the childrestraint systems, follow the instructionsprovided by the manufacturer of thedevices.

    On vehicles equipped with apassenger airbag deactivation device,

    do not t a rearward-facing child seat onthe passenger seat if the airbag is active, asthe child risks serious injury or death in thecase of airbag activation.In this event, absolutely deactivate thepassenger airbag using the dedicatedcontrol and check that the LED on theroofs ceiling light comes on (see page 57).Also move the passenger seat as far back aspossible in order to prevent the child seatknocking against the dashboard.Do not tamper with the seat belts or childrestraint systems.

    Where provided for by the law (EC),children under the age of 3 may not

    travel in a vehicle if not sitting in a childrestraint system.

    Where provided for by the law (EC),children over the age of 3 and under

    150 cm (4.9 feet) tall may not travel onthe front passenger seat if not sitting in asuitable child restraint system.The adhesive label applied on the right-hand side of the dashboard on vehiclesnot equipped with the passenger airbagdeactivation device, indicates that it is

    Extraordinary maintenance work involvingstrong impact, vibrations or heating up of thepretensioner area may activate it; vibrationscaused by road bumps will not have this effect.

    Child safety

    Because of their build, children are atgreater risk than adults. Suitable restraintor safety systems must be used.All minors whose physical characteristics(age, height, weight) fall within the limitslaid down in the laws in force in eachcountry must be protected by homologatedrestraint or safety systems (child seats,cradles, cushions).In any case, you are advised to alwaysuse homologated child restraint systemsbearing the test marking.Always adjust the seat to the farthestbackward position, in order to assure thatthe child is as far away as possible from thedashboard structure.

    Incorrect fastening of a childrestraint system increases the risk of

    injury to the child in the event of a collision. The seat belts in the vehicle have been

    designed and tested to protect personsweighing at least 36 kg (80 lb.) and tallerthan 1.50 m (4.9 feet).

    To hold a child not falling within theselimits, specic restraint systems withdedicated belts or accessories able toadapt the childs position to the vehicles

    prohibited to t a rearward-facing childseat on the passenger seat.

    AirbagThe airbag is not a substitute forthe seat belts but increases their

    effectiveness. Correct use of the seat beltsin combination with the airbag offersmaximum protection in the event of a head-on collision.

    Airbag system components

    The airbag system is composed of twoinstantly inatable cushions, one situatedon the drivers side A in the centre ofthe steering wheel and the other on thepassengers side B inside the dashboard.

    When the ignition key is turned toposition II, the relevant warning light

    on the instrument panel comes on and, if nofaults are found, goes off after 4 seconds.If the warning light does not come on, or ifit stays on, or if it comes on while driving,immediately contact the Ferrari ServiceNetwork.

    resting against it.The passenger must always fasten the seatbelt and sit in an upright position, as faras possible away from the airbag, in orderto have optimal protection in all types ofcollision.Do not modify the system components or

    wiring under any circumstances.Do not cut or tamper with the connectorslinking the wiring and the airbag modules.

    Do not cover the steering wheel and thepadded panel on the dashboard on thepassengers side with adhesive tape or treat itin any way.

    Never remove the steering wheel; if necessary,have this done at the Ferrari ServiceNetwork.

    All the airbag system components must bereplaced after an accident that has causedairbag activation.

    Following an accident not involving airbagactivation, contact the Ferrari ServiceNetworkto have the system checked and anysystem components that may be damaged ormalfunctioning replaced.

    Damaged or defective components ofthe airbag system cannot be repaired

    and must be replaced.Improper operations on the systemcomponents may cause failures or undesiredactivation of the airbags with consequentdamage.

    The airbag system components have been

    Operation

    The airbags are controlled by a sensor andan ECU that activates them in the event ofa head-on collision with medium or strongimpact.In the event that the impact is so strong thatdeceleration exceeds the sensor calibration

    value, the electronic control unit sends anairbag activation signal. The airbags startinating, breaking the cover along thebreaking line, until they are fully inated ina few tenths of milliseconds and positionedas protection between the drivers orpassengers body and the structures whichcould cause injury.The airbags deate immediately afterwards.

    The driver and passenger are bothadvised not to travel with objects

    (beverage cans or bottles, pipes, etc,)placed on the airbag module covers or nearthem, as they could be ung towards theoccupants by the unfolding bag, with the

    risk of extremely hot gas leakages.When the system starts operating, gases arereleased in the form of fumes together with thegas used for inating the airbags.

    These gases are not harmful.Always drive with your hands on thecrown of the steering wheel so that

    in case of activation, the airbag can inatewithout obstruction.Always keep the backrest in the uprightposition and sit with your back properly
