Clutch Overheat Alarm Devices - Ferrari 2012 F12 Berlinetta Owner's Manual

Warning
If the temperature is too high:
the temperature in the catalytic converters has reached a
dangerous level and could damage them; if you continue to
drive, the engine control ECU intervenes and reduces the
torque produced by the engine.
The torque limit remains active until the catalytic converter
temperature goes down to normal operating values.
Warning
If catalytic converter temperature system failure information is
displayed:
- the engine control ECU intervenes and reduces the torque
produced by the engine
- the driver must slow down and slowly drive to the nearest
Ferrari Service Network to have the engine parameters
checked.
Warning
If the EOBD warning light (see page 110) comes on at the same
time as the "Slow Down" message, go to the Ferrari Service
Network to have the ECU error memory checked. Do not
proceed in any other way.

Clutch overheat alarm devices

Extremely high performance use of the vehicle at high engine
speeds for prolonged periods and at high ambient temperatures
may cause the DCT gearbox clutches to overheat. In this case, the
following safety warnings will be displayed on the left TFT display,
corresponding to two different alarm levels:
• The message "Clutch overheated"
• The message "Clutch overheated" accompanied by an acoustic
signal.
When the message "Clutch overheated" is displayed, the driver may
notice a difference in the behaviour of the system during gearshifts
and/or during standing starts.
