    The common error with Marinetto is starting the car before its completed its pre flight checklist. Let all the lights on the dash blink out after turning the key before pushing the start button is the solution.

    My BMW 7 series read headrests used to raise and lower on their own. This used to spook me in long night drives as you would catch so egging moving in the back out of the corner of your eye.. Spooky at 4am when you are driving down country lanes at night!!!

    Bad battery can cause a host of issues. I had one go bad after three months since I had replaced it at about 30,000 miles or so, then three months later I start having troubles.

    I only wait one second to start the FF or the Cali. Turn the key on, wait one second then start the car. Then I wait another second or two as I am turning off Auto, then I start moving. I never wait for any of the lights to go out on purpose. And I never have warning light troubles unless there is an actual problem .... except for maybe twice a year (of daily driving) I might get ALL of the warnings to go off, then I just shut down, open the door, close the door, and restart as usual and all is well.

    Glad to see your battery took care of it! As I have learned to expect from our modern Ferraris, they simply work.

    The heat on on the driver's seat of my 599 is doing this. Goes in the shop for it Monday. Problems with cutting edge technology. Oh wait...
