Advice for Emergency Situations
Clutch overheat alarm devices
High performance use of the vehicle at high engine speeds for
prolonged periods and at high ambient temperatures may cause the
DCT gearbox clutch to overheat. In this case, the following safety
warnings will be displayed on the TFT display, corresponding to
two different alarm levels:
- The message “Clutch overheated”.
- The message “Clutch overheated” accompanied by an audible
warning signal.
When the message “Clutch overheated” is displayed, the driver may
notice a difference in the behaviour of the system during gearshifts
and/or during standing starts.
Important note
Certain high performance actions (such as, but not limited to:
“LAUNCH” control start, standing start with wheelspin with
Manettino set to ESC OFF, etc.) may be inhibited to prevent
excessive overheating of the clutches: the system warns the driver
that the action is not permitted, visualising the message “Operation
not admissible” on the TFT display.
Warning
As soon as any of the warnings described above appear on the
TFT display, the driver must slow down and continue driving at
an engine speed between 2000 and 3000 rpm and minimising
gear shift frequency to allow the clutches to cool down as
quickly as possible, and maintain these driving conditions until
the message “Clutch overheated” is no longer displayed.
Engine malfunction alarm devices
If the “Engine diagnostic system failure” (EOBD) warning light
flashes or illuminates permanently while the engine is running, it
indicates that the engine or the emission control system may be
malfunctioning.
The electronic system detects and isolates the error preventing
damage to the engine or the production of harmful emissions.
Warning
When the “engine diagnostic system failure” warning light
comes on, engine performance may be considerably reduced.
Drive carefully, avoiding sudden acceleration and high speeds.
Contact the Ferrari Service Network immediately.
