    As a new Cali owner can some one tell me if it is normal than when I start her up in sport mode my rear view camera does not engage in reverse.

    Also when I start up in the afternoon (I park in a parking garage where there ramps to go up and down) I find that the car since it stays in first or second gear at best really seem to chug and lunge. Is it not warmed up enough.

    Mine is a 2014 model with 3k miles.

    I appreciate your insight

    No, that is not normal. I have NEVAH taken my car from Sport and reverse camera works perfectly.

    Think you need to bring it in for a service

    Cannot comment on the camera issue, but I have noted that Ferrari's are quirky. As for the herky, jerky issue, mine does the same thing. Try letting it warm up a little longer although that may not solve completely.

    Thanks for the input

    Indeed I agree with a little quirky but still glad I have it b thoroughly enjoy the drive


    Will talk to dealer when I take it in. Came with extended full car warranty. So not real concerned

    This may sound a bit weird but try it. After you turn your key to the start position, press down fully on the throttle and release.....then press the start button.
