  1. Open and firmly re-close each door, boot and bonnet
  2. Identify which opening the cluster reports as open
  3. Inspect and clean the suspect latch switch

Is It Safe to Drive With the Door Ajar Warning Light On?

Whether it is safe to keep driving your Ferrari Purosangue with the Door Ajar Warning Light on comes down to urgency (low) and behaviour. As a rule, if the light is red or flashing, or the Ferrari Purosangue is running poorly, stop somewhere safe and arrange help rather than pushing on.

Professional Mechanic Tips

Field notes from Marcus Vale, ASE-Certified Master Technician
On a Ferrari Purosangue the door light that will not clear is nearly always a worn jamb switch in the latch — spray it clean first, replace if needed.
Wiring that flexes in the door hinge boot can fray; wiggle-test it if the light flickers over bumps.
