Greater pressure may need to be applied to
the brake pedal the first time to keep the same
braking capacities in presence of condensa-
tion or salt on the braking surfaces, for
example after washing or if the car is not used
for a long time.
NOTE:
Given the high technological level of this
system, any servicing on it must be performed
by an authorized dealer which exclusively has
the skills needed for the repair and mainte-
nance operations.
In case of intensive, high-performance use of
the
car,
have
the
carbon-ceramic
material braking
inspected as shown on the Maintenance Plan
at an authorized dealer.

Driving On Race Tracks
Before driving on a track using a racing style, it
is necessary to:
Attend a race track driving course.
Check the liquid levels in the engine
compartment. For more information, see
the "Checking Levels" section in the
"Servicing And Maintenance" chapter.
Have the car inspected at an authorized
dealer.
Remember that the car was not designed to be
driven exclusively on the race track and that
efficiency
of
the
this use increases stress and component
system
wear.
NOTE:
Quadrifoglio front brakes are equipped with
NAO type pads (Non-Asbestos Organic). These
pads are NOT suitable for high thermal loads
(for example track use). If you want to use
vehicle on a track it is recommended to use
the optional CCM Brakes (Carbon Ceramic
Brake disc).
Preheating the carbon ceramic material brake
discs
The brake discs must be warmed up to make
them fully efficient. You are advised to perform
the following procedure to achieve optimal
efficiency:
Brake nine times from 80 mph to 18 mph
(130 km/h to 30 km/h) with deceleration
equal to 0.7g (the longitudinal acceleration
value is shown on the instrument panel
display by setting RACE mode and selecting
the "Performance" page) with 20 second
intervals between brake applications; keep
the car at a speed comprised between
37 mph
and
62 mph
(60 km/h
100 km/h) and do not brake for 4 minutes
to allow the brakes to cool down;
Then brake three times from 124 mph to
18 mph (200 km/h to 30 km/h) with decel-
eration equal to 1.1g (ABS operation) with
30 second intervals between brake applica-
tions; keep the car at a speed comprised
between 37 mph and 62 mph
(60 km/h and 100 km/h) and do not brake
for 5 minutes to allow the brakes to cool
down.
