    When shutting of the engine in N mode the DCT goes to P automatically, but if I want it to stay in neutral, how to do?

    Carwash mode will do that, but you need to keep the key in the ignition. As soon as you remove the key it applies park.

    you can find how to activate Carwash mode in the owners manual, or search F Chat. There have been a few threads on it.

    Thanks, and no I will not wash it in an car wash, it's more about pushing the car in the garage.

    "Car wash" mode is what Ferrari calls it so the car can roll without being in park ... from the manual:

    The Park lock device can be electrically disabled on a temporary basis when the engine is switched off by performing the Carwash procedure.
    This procedure is necessary when the vehicle has to be moved with the engine off and when washing the vehicle.
    When the Park Lock device is electronically deactivated (Carwash procedure), the vehicle may move.
    The vehicle is only kept stationary by the parking brake which must be applied.
    To perform the Carwash procedure, do the following: - with the engine running, select the first gear;
    - select neutral “N”;
    - switch off the engine;
    - turn the key to position II (key-on) within 3 seconds of switching off.
    The message “Carwash mode activation” will appear on the TFT display.
