GENERAL
ALARM SYSTEM
The vehicle is equipped with an engine
immobiliser system against theft
attempts.
Three radio controls are provided (1
red “master” and 2 black “slaves”) to
activate/deactivate the system.
VEHICLE KEYS
The vehicle is delivered with two identical
keys that can be used for:
- locking the doors (central locking
system);
- starting the vehicle;
- deactivating the alarm system;
- locking the glove compartment;
- deactivating the passenger airbag
(where provided).
CAUTION
The radio control system may
sometimes fail to operate due to
interferences from nearby radio
antennas/transmitters which disturb
the transmission frequencies.
For the system to resume operation,
move the vehicle several tens of
metres.
Note: Should you lose one or more radio
controls, follow the instructions given in
the alarm system manual and contact the
Ferrari Service Network.
Should you lose a key, you can request
a duplicate from Ferrari quoting the
number shown on the plastic label on
the key.
CAUTION
Make sure you record the number in
the space provided in the “Warranty
booklet”.

GENERAL
“PIN code”
A secret “PIN code” (Personal
Identification Number) is assigned
to each system. The “PIN code” is
confidential, and is given to the owner
when the vehicle is delivered.
The owner is responsible for safekeeping
this code.
The “PIN code” can be used to deactivate
the immobiliser system with the ignition
key, without using the radio control.
CAUTION
Carefully read the instruction manual
provided with the vehicle for proper
use of the system.
Should you lose the “PIN code”, you
shall order a new radio control kit from
the Ferrari Service Network (1 master +
2 slaves) together with the card showing
the new “PIN code”.
