Introduction
General remarks
This vehicle, which complies with EC homologation parameters,
uses advanced technology and is capable of achieving high
performance levels.
It is equipped with sophisticated active and passive safety systems
(described below).
These safety features and systems do not authorise the driver to
take risks other than those involved in normal driving since their
preventive and protective action is guaranteed only in certain
conditions. Unless otherwise instructed specifically by Ferrari (see
the Safety chapter), the deactivation of any of the vehicle’s safety
systems is PROHIBITED.
Certain safety systems (e.g. the airbags) have been tested to ensure
that they offer the highest possible levels of protection; they may
nonetheless be hazardous in the event of failure by the driver or
passenger to observe the instructions given by Ferrari . All vehicle
occupants must be attentive at all times and take particular care
when transporting passengers who are more subject to injury such
as children, disabled and elderly persons.
Safe driving is subject to the following conditions AT ALL TIMES:
- the driver must be in perfect psycho-physical condition;
- road regulations (Traffic Regulations - Vienna Convention on
Road Traffic that ended on 8 November 1968) must be strictly
observed;
- common rules of caution must always be observed in relation to
the quality/performance of the vehicle, driving conditions and
contingent situations.
Caution and discipline are the basis of safe driving.
Driving takes place in a naturally dangerous context where a
number of different risk factors interact: for this reason, it is
important to drive bearing in mind that others, whether they are
pedestrians, motorcyclists or motorists, can make mistakes. Keeping
a safe distance allows emergency measures to be taken. Remember
that national and international legislation requires that the driver
of the vehicle must be capable of performing corrective and/or
emergency manoeuvres at all times.
Correct and careful use of a vehicle derives, above all, from respect
for one's own safety and that of others as well as from compliance
with road regulations. Only this respect will help you experience all
the emotions that driving this car can offer you.
The driver MUST NEVER allow passengers to increase the risks
associated with driving (e.g. by not using safety systems such as
the seat belts) by failing to observe the mandatory safety rules that
apply to both driver and passengers.
The vehicle MUST NOT be modified or tampered with for
any reason whatsoever since, by so doing, the manufacturer's
homologation and safety parameters will be modified.
