"Manettino" driving mode control switch
The driver can select the desired driving mode by using the
"Manettino" B.
The driving mode selected does not exempt the driver from
complying with the rules of safe driving.
Important note
In the event of a failure of one of the onboard systems, signalled
by the special symbol on the left TFT display, the Manettino"
moves to a "recovery" position, but still allows the vehicle to be
driven. In these cases, contact the Ferrari Service Network.
Driving modes that can be selected with "Manettino"
Low-grip mode
This is the maximum safety driving mode. Recommended in low
grip conditions.
SPORT mode
This is the ideal setting for vehicle performance recommended for
everyday driving.
RACE mode
This mode offers maximum performance and stability in high grip
conditions and is particularly suitable when using the vehicle on
track.
CT OFF mode
When this mode is selected, the F1-Trac traction control system is
disabled whereas stability control remains active. This setting is
used on the racing track.
CST OFF mode
This mode allows the driver complete freedom and control of the
vehicle for track use. No electronic system other than the E-Diff
controls vehicle stability.
Warning
In low- to medium-grip conditions (e.g. wet, icy, sandy roads),
do not deactivate the CST system.
For further information on the driving modes that can be selected,
refer to the paragraph "Driving using the driving mode control
switch" on page 148.
