Safety - Ferrari 2012 F12 Berlinetta Owner's Manual

Regulation no. 1222/2009/EC (applies to EU countries only)
Regulation no. 1222/2009/EC states that all tyres sold in EU
countries produced after 1 July 2012 must bear a label (as
shown in the bottom right) containing important information on
performance.
The aim of the regulation is to provide consumers with more
information on safety (wet grip) and environmental (rolling
resistance and external rolling noise) issues in order to promote the
use of safer, quieter and more efficient tyres.
The label provides the following information:
Fuel consumption
The fuel consumption of a vehicle is influenced by the tyre rolling
resistance. There is a scale with 7 levels, from A to G, on the left of
the label where "A" indicates the best tyre class for reducing fuel
consumption with lower rolling resistance.
Wet grip
On the right of the label, there is a scale for tyre performance
when braking on wet roads. Measurements are taken under test
conditions defined in the European Regulation. The scale has
7 levels, from A to G, where "A" indicates the maximum wet grip.
External rolling noise
The bottom of the label indicates the external noise level of the
tyre. The external noise level is measured in decibels (dB) and is
divided into 3 categories based on the new, stricter European levels
of external tyre noise which will be introduced by 2016.
1 black sound wave: 3 dB below future European limit
2 black sound waves: complies with future European limit
3 black sound waves: complies with current European limit.
