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.
If you use your vehicle with respect for the environment, you too
will contribute 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".

Driving style
- Do not accelerate during the starting procedure.
- Do not warm up the engine when the vehicle is stationary.
- Drive carefully and keep a safety distance that corresponds to the
driving speed.
- Avoid sudden and frequent acceleration or braking.
- Turn off the engine if the vehicle is kept stationary for long
periods of time.
- Shift gears using only 2/3 of the speed permitted for each gear.
- Use the air conditioning in moderation.
- A driving style like that described above protects the vehicle
from premature wear and tear, makes driving safer and does not
subject the vehicle to undue fatigue.
Important note
The vehicle is equipped with exhaust gas control and
monitoring systems which must always be kept in perfect
working order and controlled regularly.
