Ferrari 2012 F12 Berlinetta Owner's Manual page 5

The driver must pay the utmost attention to the signals of the
vehicle and, in particular, the warning lights on the dashboard and
buzzers. Even when the warning lights do not indicate a situation
of immediate danger, the driver must be cautious in relation to
possible consequences/degeneration of the failure and other
information given.
During routine operations, such as refuelling, precautions should
always been taken and it is important to check that flammable
liquid has not been spilled; these precautions must be observed
even if the operation is performed by others. Similarly, before
setting off make sure that the doors are closed by checking the
warning lights and also manually.
The driver must be fully acquainted with the vehicle and its
controls in order to handle and drive it correctly. Command of the
vehicle can be acquired/improved by attending the driving courses
held by Ferrari which we strongly recommend.
The use of terms from the motor sports world (such as F1, SPORT
and RACE) is merely indicative of the vehicle's competition-derived
technology and does not endorse inappropriate behaviour on the
road which does not comply with Traffic Regulations.
Most accidents are caused by distraction. The driver must use any
on-board information, communication and entertainment systems
responsibly, especially when the vehicle is in motion. Examples of
information, communication and entertainment systems are the
following: satellite navigation systems, traffic information systems
(e.g. ITT), media players (e.g. iPod), telephones with Bluetooth
connectivity, etc. (whether merely audio-based or with display).
It is important to bear in mind that on-board systems may be
distracting when driving since they may take a driver's attention
away from the road for several seconds.
Aftermarket entertainment systems for the passenger (e.g. TV)
must be installed where they cannot distract the driver while the
vehicle is in motion. While the vehicle is in motion, the attention
required to use on-board systems must never exceed the high level
of attention required to drive safely in accordance with the Traffic
Regulations.
Therefore, these systems may only be used (separately or in
combination with others) by the driver:
- in complete safety (stopping the vehicle before use if necessary).
Operations that are not involved with driving (e.g. changing
dashboard functions), must be performed in maximum safety
when the vehicle is stationary;
- putting road safety first; for example, under conditions of poor
or limited visibility, looking at a display with active programmes
can be distracting even if you take your eye off the road only for a
split second;
- ensuring, if the previous vehicle owner has installed systems on
the vehicle that are NOT APPROVED by Ferrari (car tuning),
that they are fully compatible with the original vehicle equipment.
