Searchable Text and Chapter Bookmarks

Text search and navigation: Search the main text or use the embedded bookmarks to jump to chapters, individual topics, and the language indexes. The fuse-box callouts and circuit-assignment tables are legible, with zoom available for the smaller labels.

One printable 287-page PDF contains English, Italian, French, and Spanish. The total includes both outer covers and 285 interior pages, including the title page, cutaway illustration, four language indexes with their divider, publication information, and two blank divider pages.

Driving Controls, Routine Checks, and Roadside Procedures

The topics below are selected highlights. The manual also explains cabin air recirculation and seat-belt care.

• Transmission operation: Manual and F1 startup and parking procedures, F1 gear-selection warnings, and operation in Automatic, Low Grip, and Sport modes.
• Engine systems: Component illustrations and operating descriptions for Bosch Motronic ME 7.1.1, Drive by Wire throttle control, dry-sump lubrication, cooling, and fuel-vapor control.
• Chassis controls: Skyhook suspension, ZF Servotronic power steering, and ABS, ASR, and EBD, with warning indications and references to Ferrari diagnostic equipment.
• Tires and roadside procedures: Tire-pressure monitoring calibration, step-by-step wheel replacement instructions, spare-wheel restrictions, emergency releases, and towing provisions.
• Electrical service: Battery isolation and reconnection, throttle relearning, halogen high-beam bulb and fuse replacement, and fuse and relay locations and assignments.
• Maintenance reference: Mileage-based service schedules, fluid specifications and capacities, engine bore and stroke, transmission ratios, factory wheel sizes, and cold tire pressures.

The manual is written for owners looking up operating instructions and routine checks. Ferrari directs scheduled servicing and specialist work to its authorized service network. Internal engine and gearbox overhauls require workshop literature.

Instrument Warnings and F1 Operation

Instrument-panel illustrations identify the controls and distinguish normal indicators from gearbox, brake, and exhaust-temperature warnings on the multifunction display. The F1 instructions explain driver shift requests, automatic interventions, and how the driving modes interact.

Component views identify the F1 actuator, hydraulic pump, and clutch-position sensor. The gearbox section also describes the limited-slip differential. Repeated F1 shifts with the engine off can overheat the hydraulic pump.

Engine, Steering, and Suspension Checks

The engine chapter explains how each cylinder bank's Motronic ECU works with the throttle, sensors, and emissions equipment. Timing-control and cooling-system diagrams identify the main components, and Ferrari assigns belt inspection and tension work to service centers with the required equipment.

Fluid-level checks cover the engine, gearbox and differential, power steering, and brakes. The brake-fluid section warns that mineral-based fluid can damage the system's rubber components. Skyhook coverage describes the acceleration sensors, electronically controlled damping, and fault indications, and identifies the Ferrari SD-2 diagnostic tester.

Fuse Reference, Battery Reconnection, and Emergency Access

The electrical chapter pairs fuse and relay location drawings with circuit-assignment tables. These let owners match an inoperative device to its fuse and rating, including separate entries for the left- and right-bank Motronic circuits. Full wiring schematics require separate service literature.

The battery master-switch instructions explain the throttle system's self-learning requirement after reconnection. High-voltage xenon low-beam replacement is assigned to the Ferrari Service Network.

Emergency procedures cover the hood, fuel filler flap, and luggage compartment. The tire-pressure monitoring section explains when to recalibrate after tire replacement or inflation and how to interpret calibration and fault messages. The alarm section explains the remotes and PIN function and refers owners to the separate alarm booklet for detailed instructions.

Selected Engine and Gearbox Fluid Capacities

The dry-sump engine oil system has a total capacity of 10 liters. The capacity table lists 4.5 liters for the gearbox and differential, including the connecting lines.

On the F1 version, the electro-hydraulic shift system has its own 1-liter capacity. The two entries distinguish the gearbox lubricant circuit from the F1 shift-control circuit.
