Starting And Driving The Vehicle (F1 Gearbox) - Ferrari F430 Owner's Manual

Starting and driving the
vehicle (F1 gearbox)
Switching on the system
When turning the ignition key to position
II all the segments of the gear display on
the instrument panel are activated and lit
up, the failure warning light comes on and,
if no faults are found, goes off after a few
seconds.
The gear currently engaged will remain
highlighted on the display.
The pump may also start up for a few seconds
when the driver's door is opened. This
function makes it possible to have the system
ready when the ignition key is inserted.
The failure warning light may also flash
briefly (10 sec.) and then switch off: the
system completes the "start-up" phase and
then starts correctly. Avoid giving any
commands to the system during this stage.
If the failure warning light continues
flashing without going off, switch off
the system and restart. If the failure persists,
contact an Authorised Ferrari Service
Centre to have the necessary checks
carried out.
If the warning light stays on, it means that
there is a system failure; this condition will
also have been signalled by a buzzer when
the ignition key was turned to position II.
Contact the Ferrari Service Network to
have the malfunction identified and repaired.
Operation with the engine switched off
Once the "system start-up" phase has been
completed, the gear engaged will appear on
the display:
(Neutral)
N
R (reverse gear)
1 (1st gear)
2 (2nd gear), etc.
If the indication flashes (may also occur
with N) it means that the gear is not
perfectly engaged or disengaged; therefore,
request N and then the desired gear.
If a horizontal dash appears on the
display, there is a system failure.
When the engine is off, you can engage the
1st , reverse R and neutral N gears. Holding
the brake pedal pushed down during the
request, proceed as follows:
N: pull both the levers located behind the
steering wheel.
