Ferrari 2012 F12 Berlinetta Owner's Manual page 254

Abbreviation Meaning
Traction control derived from the technologies used in the racing sector. The system can estimate the maximum available
F1-Trac
grip in advance by continuously monitoring the relative wheel speed and using an auto-adaptive operating logic.
Comparing this information with the vehicle dynamics model stored in the control system, F1-Trac, optimises the vehicle
behaviour by controlling engine torque delivery.
(Ferrari Brake Prefill)
FBP
System that eliminates the distance between the brake pads and discs by applying slight pressure to the braking system as
soon as the accelerator pedal is released just before braking. This results in more immediate brake response.
The procedure laid down in Directive 2007/46/EC and the implementation standard.
Homologation

TFT displays
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. Using special sensors fitted inside the wheel rims next to the air valve, the data
TPMS
measured is sent to an ECU. The data and messages are displayed on the left TFT display.
Force exerted by the vehicle on the road surface through the wheels; it indicates the grip.
Traction power
Vehicle Dynamic Control performed through the braking system and engine torque.
VDC
Xenon headlights Headlights on the front of the vehicle that produce a more intense beam by using a voltaic arc rather than an
