Maintenance - Ferrari F430 Spider Owner's Manual

Spare parts
When replacing parts or topping up
lubricants and fluids, we recommend you
use original spare parts, lubricants and
fluids recommended by Ferrari.
The Ferrari warranty may be voided if
Original Ferrari Spare Parts are not
used for repairs.
Chassis
The chassis of this vehicle is entirely
constructed of aluminum.
If the chassis is damaged in an accident, have
it repaired by an Authorized Ferrari
Dealer only.
Using non-original spare parts and having
inexperienced personnel perform repairs
may have serious consequences for the
vehicle.
In normal conditions of use, the chassis
does not require any maintenance; it
is however advisable to contact your
Authorized Ferrari Dealer at the
intervals shown in the Maintenance
Schedule in order to have it checked.
Should emergency repairs be
required, it is advisable to have the
vehicle checked by an Authorized Ferrari
Dealer as soon as possible.
F1 gearbox
Warning: The vehicle may be fitted
with an electro-hydraulically-
controlled gearbox system, controlled by
means of levers on the steering wheel.
Even though the system can be used
in "Automatic" mode, it should not
be considered an automatic gearbox.
Therefore, for proper use, always follow the
instructions given in this manual on
88.
