Ferrari California, Workshop Manual

Page: 1194 / 1727

The vehicle is equipped with a manual system for releasing the Park Lock for use in the event of an
emergency (e.g. vehicle breakdown or when transporting the vehicle with the battery disconnected).
The system allows the Park Lock to be released from either the passenger compartment (UP TO Assembly
No. 85744) or the luggage compartment. The device uses 4 Bowden cables with INOX laminated sheath
and internal teflon sheath for heat protection, connected to a device mounted on the DCT gearbox, in
particular on the release pin. Two cables are mounted on the underbody, two are mounted on the DCT
gearbox/underchassis.

CAUTION
The vehicle may move with no warning when the Park Lock is released electronically (CAR WASH mode)!
