Checking the coolant level
This procedure must always be performed
when the engine is cool. Never remove
the cap from the expansion tank when the
engine is running and/or warm.
• Remove the cap from the expansion tank
in the engine compartment and check
that the level is about 40 mm from the
top of the fi ller neck.
• If the level is low, top it up with the
specifi ed fl uid.
If frequent top-ups are required after
short trips, have the system checked
by the
Ferrari Service Network.
• Screw the cap back on tightly.
The oil contained in the brake and
clutch systems, besides damaging
plastic, rubber and painted parts, is highly
dangerous if it comes into contact with the
eyes or the skin.
In case of contact, wash the affected area
thoroughly with running water.
To avoid any risk, always use protective
goggles and gloves.
Keep away from children!
Never dispose of used fl uid in the
environment!
On vehicles with F1 gearbox, the tank
supplies the braking system only.
The symbol shown on the adhesive label
on the tank indicates that there is synthetic
fl uid in the system.
Use of mineral fl uids will cause
permanent damage to rubber gaskets
of the system.
Do not use fl uids other than those already
contained in the system for topping up.
• After topping up, screw the fi ller cap back
on.
• Refi t the inspection cover.
Checking the brake/clutch fl uid level
• To access the tank, lift the engine
compartment lid (see
page 38
) and
remove the inspection cover.
• Check that the fl uid in the tank is near
the
MAX
level.
• If the level is low, unscrew the fi ller cap
and top up with the specifi ed oil taken
from a sealed container.
