Checking the coolant level
Only perform this procedure with the
engine cold. Never remove the cap from the
expansion tank when the engine is running
and/or warm.
• Remove the cap from the expansion tank
in the engine compartment and check
that the level is about 1.57 in. (40 mm)
from the top of the filler neck.
• If the level is low, top it up with the
specified fluid.
If frequent top-ups are required after
short trips, have the system checked
by an Authorized Ferrari Dealer.
• Screw the cap back on tightly.

Checking the brake/clutch fluid level

compartment lid (see page 44) and
remove the inspection cover.
• Check that the fluid in the tank is near
the level.
MAX
• If the level is low, unscrew the filler cap
and top up with the specified oil from a
sealed container.
���
���
The oil contained in the brake, clutch
and hydraulic steering systems,
besides damaging plastic, rubber and
painted parts, is highly dangerous if it
comes into contact with the eyes or the skin.
In case of contact, wash the affected area
thoroughly with running water.
To avoid any risk, always use protective
goggles and gloves.
Keep away from children!
Never dispose of used fluid in the
environment!
On vehicles with F1 gearbox, the tank
supplies the braking system only.
The symbol shown on the adhesive label
on the tank indicates that there is synthetic
fluid in the system.
Use of mineral fluids will cause
permanent damage to the rubber
gaskets/seals of the system.
Do not use fluids other than those already
contained in the system for topping up.
• After topping up, tighten the filler cap.
• Refit the inspection cover.
