Ferrari 599 GTB FIORANO User manual

OWNER’S MANUAL

2
General considerations
This vehicle, which complies with the EC homologation standards, is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and is capable of
achieving high performance levels.
It is equipped with sophisticated active and passive safety systems (described below). These safety features and equipment do not
authorise the driver to take risks other than those involved in normal driving, since their preventive/protective action is performed
only in certain conditions. Unless otherwise and specifically provided for by Ferrari (see the Safety section) it is PROHIBITED to
deactivate any safety system.
For safe driving, the following conditions must ALWAYS be met:
- The driver must be in perfect psycho-physical conditions
- The road regulations must be strictly observed
- The common rules of caution must always be observed, in relation to the quality/performance of the vehicle, the places where you
are driving and the contingent situations.
Ferrari recommends reasonable and careful use of the vehicle. The driver MUST NEVER allow passengers to increase the risk con-
nected with driving (e.g., not using the safety systems, such as the seat belts) by failing to observe the mandatory safety rules that
apply to both the driver and the passengers.
The vehicle MAY NOT be modified or tampered with for any reason whatsoever, as this would affect the standards required for
homologation and safety.
The owner of the vehicle is obliged to carefully maintain the vehicle in compliance with the recommended maintenance schedule.
The driver must always pay attention to the warning signals in the vehicle, in particular to the dashboard warning lights. Even in
cases where the warning lights do not indicate a situation of immediate danger, the driver must behave prudently and carefully,
considering the possible consequences of the malfunction and the type of information signalled.

3
Introduction
Even in the event of routine operations, such as refuelling, the driver must take all necessary precautions and check for any spilling
of flammable liquid. These precautions must be taken even if the operation is performed by others. Before starting off, always verify
that the door closing systems are functioning, not only by checking that the relative warning lights are off, but also trying to operate
them by hand.
The driver must be fully knowledgeable with the vehicle and its controls, so as to handle and drive it as required. Knowledge of the
vehicle can be achieved/improved by attending the driving courses held by Ferrari, which are recommended.
The names taken from the sports and racing world (e.g., F1, SPORT, RACE) only refer to the technology from which they derive or
to
specific vehicle set-ups and they do not authorise the driver to behave improperly while driving.
These considerations are not exhaustive, but only refer to some general issues that will be specifically dealt with in this Owner’s
Manual.

Updating
The high quality level of the vehicle
is subject to constant technological
improvements. Therefore, there may be
differences between this manual and your
vehicle. The Ferrari Sales and Service
Network will be glad to provide you with
all the information about the updates
made.
All specifications and illustrations
contained in this manual refer to those
resulting as of the printing date.
Spare parts
We recommend you use genuine Ferrari
spare parts, which can be obtained from
the Ferrari Service Network.
The Ferrari warranty is voided if
repairs are performed using parts that
are not Genuine Ferrari Spare Parts.
Warranty and Service book
Each new vehicle comes equipped with a
“Warranty and Service book”.
This contains the vehicle’s warranty
validity conditions.
The warranty booklet also indicates when
periodic service is due according to the
“MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE”.
“F1-SuperFast” gearbox
The vehicle may come equipped with
an electronically-controlled gearbox
system, controlled by means of the
levers on the steering wheel.
The default setting for the F1 gearbox
is always “AUTO” mode.
Every time the vehicle is started, the
F1 gearbox is in the “AUTO easy
exit” mode, unless the vehicle was in
“AUTO” mode when it was turned off.
To exit the “AUTO easy exit” mode,
operate one of the levers UP and
DOWN (when the vehicle is moving)
or press the AUTO button on the
central console.
Even though the system can be used
in “AUTO” mode, it should not be
considered an automatic gearbox.
Hence, for proper use always follow
the instructions given in this manual.
This new F1 gearbox generation reduces
overall gearshifting times. Using the
elastic power of the transmission devices
- through integrated electronic engine and
gearbox management - the F1-SuperFast
system enhances vehicle performance.

Introduction
The different gearshifting stages (torque
reduction and clutch disengagement,
gear disengagement and engagement and
subsequent clutch re-engagement) are
actuated in sequence.
This results in extremely fast gearshifting,
which is reduced to 100 ms (measured as
“acceleration gap”).
Environmental protection
The following chapter contains useful
advice for environmental protection.
Ferrari has designed and constructed a
vehicle using technologies, materials and
devices capable of reducing the harmful
impact on the environment to a minimum.
Using your vehicle respecting the
environment will be your contribution
towards environmental protection.
Fuel consumption as well as engine,
gearbox, brake and tyre wear mainly
depend on two factors:
- use of the vehicle
- driving style.
Both factors are influenced by the driver.
Use of the vehicle
- Avoid using the vehicle for short trips.
- Check that the tyre pressure is correct.
- Check the fuel consumption.
- Proper periodic maintenance will
contribute to preserving your vehicle in
full working order and to protecting the
environment.
We therefore advise you to respect
the service due dates indicated in the
“MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE”.
Driving style
- Do not accelerate during the starting
procedure.
- Do not warm up the engine when the
vehicle is stationary.
- Drive prudently and keep a safety
distance suited to the driving speed.
- Avoid sharp and frequent accelerations.
- Turn off the engine if the vehicle is kept
stationary for long periods of time.
- Shift gears using only 2/3 of the speed
permitted for each gear.
WARNINGWARNING
The vehicle is equipped with exhaust
gas control and monitoring systems,
which must always be fully efficient.

Vehicle keys
The vehicle is delivered with two identical
keys that can be used for:
- locking/unlocking the doors (central
locking)
- starting the vehicle
- deactivating the alarm system
- activating/deactivating the alarm system.
In the event that the keys are lost or
stolen, you can request a duplicate
from the Ferrari Service Network
(see section “Duplicating the keys”
on page 11).
WARNINGWARNING
Make sure you record the code
numbers in the space provided in
the “WARRANTY AND SERVICE
BOOK”.
Key codes
A CODE CARD is supplied with the keys.
This card shows 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 if
you request duplicates of the keys.
WARNINGWARNING
The code numbers on the CODE
CARD must always be kept in a safe
and protected place, not accessible
to others.
WARNINGWARNING
We remind you that the emergency
start procedure can only be
performed using the electronic code
found on the CODE CARD.
In the event of a change of ownership,
it is essential that the new vehicle
owner is provided with all the keys and
with the CODE CARD.
Alarm system
The Ferrari CODE system
The vehicle is equipped with an electronic
immobiliser system (Ferrari CODE) which
is automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
The keys are equipped with an electronic
device which transmits a coded signal to
the Ferrari CODE ECU. Once this ECU
has recognised the signal, it allows
starting the engine.
Operation
Each time the ignition key is removed
from the 0 position, the protection system
activates the engine immobiliser.
- When starting the engine, press the
ENGINE START button on the steering
wheel:
1) If the code is recognised, the CODE
warning light A on the instrument
panel turns off within one second,
while the EOBD warning light B turns
off after about four seconds, once the
