Wheels And Tyres - Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Owner's Manual

Malfunction warning
Every time a system malfunctioning is detected, the respective warning
light is activated on the "TFT" display, on the instrument panel (see
page 32).
If the failure involves a valve, conditions may arise in which one or two
of the four shock absorbers may have a fixed setting (blocked valve).
In any case, safe driving is always ensured.
The malfunction detected is stored by the ECU.
The system is exclusively designed for connection to the Ferrari SD-3
diagnostic tester, which can be used to perform a diagnostic test of the
system.
If a malfunction occurs while driving with a consequent activation of
the relative warning light, you are strongly recommended to:
• stop the vehicle;
4
• turn the key to position 0;
• restart the engine.
If the malfunction is no longer present, the warning light will go off and
the system will start operating normally; if this does not occur, it means
that the system continues to malfunction.
In this case, contact the Ferrari Service Network.

Wheels and tyres

To ensure maximum performance and tyre life and to permit the best
tyre adjustment on the wheel rim, it is important to comply with the
following instructions for the first 200-300 km (125-185 mi.) with new
tyres:
• avoid sudden acceleration;
• avoid sudden braking and steering;
• drive at moderate speed on straight roads and on curves.
How to use the tyres
The tyres must be constantly kept in good conditions to ensure safe driving.
The inflation pressure must correspond to the specified values and
must be checked only when the tyres are cold: tyre pressure increases
as tyre temperature increases.
Never reduce the pressure if the tyres are hot.
Insufficient tyre pressure can lead to overheating, damage and even
destruction of the tyres.
Inflating the tyres to a pressure differing from that
prescribed (see page 17) will render the monitoring
system inaccurate.
Sudden impact against sidewalks, holes in the road and other obstacles
of various types, as well as long trips on rough roads, can cause damage
to the tyres that is not always visible to the naked eye.
Check the tyres regularly for any signs of damage (e.g. scratches, cuts,
cracks, bulges, etc.).
