DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
Driving on snowy and icy roads
Below is some advice for driving in these
conditions:
- Keep a very moderate speed.
- Keep a safe distance from the vehicles
in front of you.
- Fit snow tyres approved for the vehicle.
- Given the poor grip, use the engine
brake as much as possible and avoid
sudden braking.
- Avoid sudden acceleration and sharp
changes in direction.
- During the winter season, even
apparently dry roads can have icy
sections. Therefore, be careful when
driving along stretches of road in the
shade as there may be icy patches.
Driving with the “ABS” braking
system
The ABS system offers two advantages:
- It prevents the wheels from locking and
skidding during emergency braking,
particularly in low-grip conditions.
- It allows braking and changing
direction at the same time. This feature
is affected by the physical limits and
lateral grip of the tyres.
- When the ABS is activated, you will
feel a slight pulsing of the brake pedal
during emergency braking or in low-
grip conditions. Do not release the
pedal but continue to push it to give
continuity to the braking action.
- The ABS prevents the wheels from
locking, but it does not increase the
physical limits of grip between the tyres
and the road: keep a safe distance
from the vehicles ahead and reduce
speed before curves.
RESPECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
We are all responsible for respecting and
protecting the environment.
Ferrari has designed and constructed a
vehicle using technologies, materials and
devices to reduce the harmful impact on
the environment to a minimum.
As a further contribution towards
protecting the environment, drive safely
and act responsibly at all times.
It is important to keep the vehicle
perfectly efficient by complying with the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
