gearbox)
Turning on the system
When turning the ignition key to position

all the segments of the gear display on
the instrument panel are activated and lit
up, the failure warning light comes on and,
if no faults are found, goes off after a few
seconds.
The gear currently engaged will remain
highlighted on the display.
The pump may also run for a few seconds
when the driver’s door is opened. This
function makes it possible to have the system
ready when the ignition key is inserted.
The failure warning light may also fl ash
briefl y (10 sec.) and then turn off: the system
completes the “start-up” phase and then starts
correctly. Avoid giving any commands to the
system during this stage.
If the failure warning light continues
fl ashing without going off, turn off
the system and restart. If the failure persists,
contact an
Authorised Ferrari Service
Centre
to have the necessary checks
performed.
If the warning light stays on, it means that
there is a system failure; this condition will
also be signalled by a buzzer when the
ignition key is turned to position
II
.
Contact the
Ferrari Service Network
to
have the malfunction identifi ed and repaired.
