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 the Ferrari Service Network

in the case that you request duplicates ofthe keys.

The code numbers shown on theCODE CARD should be kept in a

safe place.You are advised to always keep theCODE CARD number with you, as

this is absolutely necessary in the event ofan emergency start.In the event of a vehicle ownershiptransfer, it is essential that the new owneris provided with all the keys and with theCODE CARD.You are advised to record and keep thecodes listed on the tags delivered with thekeys and the remote control in a safe place(not in the vehicle) in order to requestduplicates if needed.

Alarm systemFERRARICODE system

For greater protection against theft, thevehicle is equipped with an electronicengine immobilizer system (FerrariCODE), which is automatically activated

when the ignition key is removed.Each ignition key contains an electronicdevice which transmits a code signal to theFerrariCODE control unit, and engineignition is enabled only if the key code isacknowledged 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

(not present in Australian and Japaneseversions)

- activate/deactivate the alarm.

Operation

Each time the ignition key is removed fromposition 0, the protection system activatesthe engine immobilizer. When starting the engine, press the

ENGINE STARTbutton on the steeringwheel:

KeysThe vehicle is delivered with two identicalkeys.

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

booklet.

A duplicate of the keys can be requestedcommunicating the identication number tothe Ferrari Service Network.



17/134


17

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.



18/134

18

If you make a mistake, turn the key toposition 0 and repeat the operation fromstep 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 CODEand EOBD

warning lights stay on.3) Push and hold down the accelerator

pedal. After approximately 8 seconds,the EOBDwarning light will go off.Release the accelerator pedal and getready to count the number of times theEOBDwarning light ashes.

4) Wait until the number of ashes isequal to the rst digit of your CODECARD, then push and hold downthe accelerator pedal until the EOBDwarning light goes off after about 4seconds, then release the acceleratorpedal.

5) The EOBDwarning light starts ashing

again. When the number of ashesis equal to the second digit of yourCODE CARD, push and hold down theaccelerator pedal.

6) Proceed in the same manner for theremaining digits in the code on theCODE CARD.

7) When the last digit has been entered,hold the accelerator pedal pusheddown. The EOBDwarning light comeson for 4 seconds and then goes off;

release the accelerator pedal.8) When the EOBDwarning light ashes

fast (for about 4 seconds) it conrmsthat the procedure has been carriedout correctly.

9) Proceed with starting the engine bypressing the ENGINE STARTbutton

on the steering wheel.If the EOBD warning light remains on,turn the key to position 0 and repeat theprocedure from step 1.This procedure can be repeated anunlimited number of times.After an emergency start, it is advisable tocontact the Ferrari Service Networkasthe emergency starting procedure has to becarried out for each starting.

Electronic alarm system

The electronic alarm system carries out thefollowing functions:- remote control for central door locking;

- perimeter surveillance, detecting whenthe doors or lids are opened;- car movement surveillance.The engine immobilizer function isguaranteed by the FerrariCODE system,which is automatically activated when theignition key is removed from the switch.

System activationPress button A on the key to activate thealarm system:

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.

SafetyFerrari has designed and constructeda vehicle that offers the best possibleperformance for a road vehicle,guaranteeing the maximum in terms ofsafety. Following some simple rules willguarantee maximum efciency of the entiresystem.Passive safety

The passive safety system always intervenesin the event of a collision.In addition to the seats and the headrests,the passive safety system components are: seat belts tted with pretensioners and

load limiting devices; airbag; manual passenger airbag deactivation

switch; passenger airbag deactivation warning

light; airbag system failure warning light (see

page 32); deformable bodyshell and protective

survival cell; fuel cut-off inertia switch.Depending on the impact, the passivesafety system intervenes in different waysactivating the various system components.In the event of small collisions: in additionto the protective action of the seats,headrest and bodywork of the vehicle, onlythe seat belts prevent the occupants from

the risk of injury to persons and damageto things.

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.

Pressurised systems on the vehicle, suchas: the braking system, air conditioningand heating system, cooling system andlubrication system, which may generatepressure internally.Do not carry out any operation whichmay cause gas or liquids to spill out with

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.



53/134


53

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.

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
