Wheel Alignment Check And Adjustment - Ferrari 599 GTB FIORANO Owner's Manual

Inflating the tyres to a pressure
differing from that prescribed (see
WARNING WARNING
table on page 23) will render the
monitoring system inefficient.
Sudden impact against sidewalks, holes in
the road and other obstacles of various
types, as well as long trips on rough roads,
can cause damage to the tyres that is not
always visible to the naked eye.
Check the tyres regularly for any signs of
damage (e.g., scratches, cuts, cracks, bulges,
etc.).
If sharp objects penetrate the tyres, they can
cause damage which is only visible when
the tyre is removed.
Have any damage inspected by an expert as
it may considerably reduce tyre life.
Remember that tyres deteriorate over time,
even if they are rarely used or not used at
all.
Cracks in the tread and side walls, possibly
accompanied by bulging, are sure signs of
ageing.
The Ferrari Service Network has the
necessary equipment for tyre
replacement.
Have the tyres replaced by the Ferrari
Service Network, who has the required
equipment in order to avoid damage to
the sensor inside the wheel rim, which
could be caused by improperly
performed procedures.
Ensure that the tyres on stock are not
older than 4 years. The maximum life of
the tyres kept in stock is of 4 years,
provided that they are stored in a place
protected from the sun, weather agents
and damp, and where there is a low
oxygen content.
The Ferrari Service Network can certify
whether aged tyres are suitable for use.
In any case, tyres that have remained on
a vehicle for more than
3 years must be checked by a Ferrari
Service Centre.
We recommend that you replace the
tyres every 4 years in case of normal
WARNING WARNING
use. Frequent use in maximum load
conditions and at high temperatures
may accelerate ageing.
Care of the Vehicle
Never fit tyres of uncertain origin.
The tyres are of the "directional" type
and there is an arrow marked on their
WARNING WARNING
side wall to indicate the direction in
which they must rotate or which side
is the outer side. In the case of
replacement, maximum performance
levels can only be ensured if the
rotation direction corresponds with
the direction indicated by the arrow.
Tyres on the same axle must always be
replaced in pairs.
Regularly check the tyre tread (minimum
acceptable depth 1.7 mm). As the tread
wear increases, there is a greater risk of
skidding.
Drive carefully on wet roads to reduce
the risk of "aquaplaning".
WARNING WARNING

Wheel alignment check and adjustment

When you notice unusual wear of the tyres
and in any case, at the intervals prescribed
in the "Warranty and Service Book", have
the Ferrari Service Network check the
wheel toe-in and camber.
