458 2011 Glove compartment

Isn't there a manual release similar to that on a F430?

 

Take it to the dealer
best

 

there is a manual release string loop (red) at the very bottom of the glove compartment. You can release it by pulling on it.

 

given italian logic, I believe the fuse you are looking for is behind the glove compartment

joking aside, like 707 said, there's a red string underneath of glove compartment, probably tugged in an elastic ribbon, pull down to open glove compartment.

 

I just went through this. In car setup set the lock ON, not OFF. Italian logic.

 

In the car set up, you have to assign the button in order for it to open the glove box:

Main -> Car Setup -> Glove Box Key -> On

If you select OFF, it disables the 'OPEN' button (valet mode).

 

Italian logic indeed Could you open it now ?

 

good to know. Learned something new on the 458.

 

Good to know. Thank you.

 

They should label it Ferris Bueller mode, not valet mode.

I find out little things like this all the time. It was great figuring out how to adjust the bass and treble; the Bose stereo can actually sound decent if you tweak those a bit.

 

Are you sure you have Bose or you have modified your car? I thought Ferrari uses JBL for all of its stereos for the 458.

 

Sorry, I meant JBL. I was thinking of my other car!
