Push Start; Starting The Engine - Ferrari 599 GTB FIORANO Owner's Manual

desired RPM for the standing start is
reached (typically the maximum torque
RPM). On releasing the brake pedal, the
best standing start performance is
achieved thanks to a clutch engagement
strategy optimised for that RPM.
Push start (F1 gearbox)
In the event that the ignition system
malfunctions, you can "push start" the
vehicle as follows:
- perform the "system starting" procedure
(see page 84);
- as the vehicle is gaining speed, request
an UP-shift with the gearshift in N.
This procedure should be avoided
unless there is an emergency situation!
Restarting the engine (F1)
In the event that the engine is turned off
accidentally, restart it using the ENGINE
START button, turning the key to 0 and
then to II: the engine will start
immediately.
