Environmental protection

Environment
The following chapter contains useful advice for environmental
protection.
Ferrari has designed and constructed a vehicle using technologies,
materials and devices capable of reducing the harmful impact on
the environment to a minimum.
Using your vehicle with respect for the environment will be your
contribution towards environmental protection.
Fuel consumption as well as engine, gearbox, brakes and tyres wear
mainly depend on two factors:
- use of the vehicle

- driving style.

Both factors are influenced by the driver.
Use of the vehicle
- Avoid using the vehicle for short trips.
- Check that the tyre pressure is correct.
- Check the fuel consumption.
- Proper periodic maintenance will contribute to preserving your
vehicle in full working order and to protecting the environment.
We therefore advise you to respect the service due dates indicated
in the "MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE".
