Questions

Where can I get the Ferrari 488 owner's manual?

Ferrari publishes owner's manuals on its official owner site (ferrari.com). Choose the 488 and your model year, or sign in with your VIN so the manual matches your trim.

Is the manual the same for every 488 year?

No. Manuals are written for each model year and the 488 spans 2016–2020. Equipment, infotainment and maintenance intervals change between years and generations, so always use the edition for your year.

How do I check recalls on a Ferrari 488?

Use the recall checker on this page, which searches NHTSA's recall database by model year. Recalls apply to specific VINs, so confirm with a Ferrari dealer or at nhtsa.gov/recalls using your 17 character VIN.
