About your Vehicle
Driving on snowy or icy roads
Below is some advice for driving in these conditions:
- Keep a very moderate speed.
- Keep a safe distance from the vehicles in front of you.
- Fit snow tyres approved for the vehicle.
- Given the poor grip, use the engine brake as much as possible
and avoid sudden braking.
- Avoid sudden acceleration and sharp changes in direction.
- During the winter season, even apparently dry roads can have icy
sections.
Therefore, be careful when driving along stretches of road in the
shade as there may be icy patches.
Driving with the “ABS” braking system
The ABS system assists the driver as follows:
- It prevents the wheels from locking and skidding during
emergency braking, particularly in low-grip conditions.
- It allows braking and changing direction at the same time. This
feature is affected by the physical limits and lateral grip of the
tyres.
- When the ABS is activated, you will feel a slight pulsing of the
brake pedal during emergency braking or in low-grip conditions.
DO NOT release the pedal but continue to push it to give
continuity to the braking action.
- The ABS prevents the wheels from locking, but it does not
increase the physical limits of grip between the tyres and the road:
keep a safe distance from the vehicles ahead and reduce speed
before curves.
Power steering system
The power steering system uses the power produced by the engine
to help the driver steer more precisely while exerting less force on
the steering wheel.
Important note
Remember that power steering does not work when the engine
is switched off and more force is therefore needed when
steering.
Warning
Do not keep the steering wheel fully turned (locked position) to
the right or the left for more than 15 seconds when the engine is
running. This may damage the power steering system.
Important note
If the power steering system is not working properly, as
indicated by a symbol which appears on the left TFT display
(see page 106), contact the
Ferrari Service Network.
