Cst - Stability And Traction Control; F1 - Trac - Ferrari California Owner's Manual

Important note
The ABS system cannot compensate for driving at excessive
speeds with respect to the traffic or road conditions, worn tyres,
worn braking system components or driver errors.
The ABS system has been designed for the sole purpose of assisting
the driver in controlling braking under extreme conditions, in
which he/she could instinctively cause the wheels to lock.

CST - Stability and Traction Control

The CST is composed of two main systems:
VDC Vehicle Dynamics Control, performed through the
braking system and engine torque
F1-Trac traction control, performed through engine torque
modulation, depending on maximum grip on the road
and of secondary systems that are always active, such as the ABS,
EBD, etc.
To provide optimal control in different driving and grip conditions,
four different setting levels have been designed:
- Level 1: ensures stability and maximises traction on every type of road
surface, both in low (Manettino set to Comfort) and very low grip
conditions, by means of engine and brake control (in this condition,
the standard ASR system activates instead of the F1-Trac function).
- Level 2: ensures stability and maximises traction only in medium-
to high-grip conditions (Manettino set to SPORT) optimising
engine and brake control.
- Level 3: CST off (position
