SAFETY
The label D on the right-hand side of
the dashboard, bears the airbag system
expiry date. When this expiry date is
approaching, contact the
Ferrari Service
Network in order to have the system
replaced.
The labels
E and F indicate the presence
of the airbag system.
ABS
This is a safety device that prevents the
wheels from locking whenever the driver
pushes the brake pedal too sharply.
The system is composed of:
• electro-hydraulic unit;
• EBD braking force distribution
software;
• four speed sensors on the wheels,
incorporated in the bearings;
These features add to the vehicle’s
standard braking system, without
changing its characteristics.
The driver will feel a “sudden” retreat of
the brake pedal when the ABS activates.
When one of the wheels starts locking,
the hydraulic control unit operates the
braking circuit by running a 3-phase
cycle:
• Reduction (if necessary).
• Maintenance.
• Pressure increase in the hydraulic
circuit.
