the cable from the negative poles and
then from the positive ones.
If the engine does not start after a few
attempts, contact the Ferrari Service
Network.
Take care not to let the positive cable
come into contact with the vehicle or
the negative cable. Improper manoeuvres
may cause damage to the electrical system.

possible, since it may cause fuel
to flow into the catalytic converters and
damage them beyond repair.

Towing the vehicle

Tow hook
When towing the vehicle, avoid attaching
the tow hook (provided in the toolkit)
to coupling points different from those
provided.
• Take the tow hook out of the toolkit
A
bag.
• Screw the hook into place in its seat.
�
• Position the gearshift lever in neutral (N
for vehicles with F1 gearbox).
The specific driving and road
regulations must be followed when
the vehicle is being towed.
Do not hook the vehicle onto suspension
levers and rims, but only onto the tow hook
properly fitted in its seat.
Hold the key in position II to allow the
lights to work and to prevent locking the
steering wheel in the event of steering.
4 - In an emergency
Bear in mind that when the engine is off,
the power steering and brake servo are
deactivated, hence more force is required to
turn the steering wheel and push the brake
pedal.
Towing the vehicle with the wheel axle lifted
This may only be done by skilled staff.
Always lift the rear wheel axle only. Ensure
that the front wheels are in a straight line
and that the steering lock is engaged.
