Checking the coolant level
Warning
The coolant in the cooling system reaches very high
temperatures and pressures. This procedure must always be
performed when the ENGINE IS COLD. Never remove the cap
from the expansion tank when the engine is running or warm.
• Check that the level comes up to the dotted line shown in the
figure.
• If the level is low, remove the cap
B
from the expansion tank and
top up with the recommended coolant.
Important note
If frequent top-ups are required after short trips, have the
system checked by the Ferrari Service Network.
• Screw the cap
B
back on tightly.

Checking the power steering system oil level
Warning
The power steering oil level must be checked with the engine
warm, after having driven at least 15 km (9 mi). If it is checked
when the engine is cold, the level may appear to be very low
even when the recommended amount of oil is in the system.
Warning
If the oil level is below MIN , top it up and then have the system
checked by the Ferrari Service Network.
Proceed as follows:
• Remove cap
C with the dipstick from the tank.
