2019 MASERATI GRANTURISMO parking brake

Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are know to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle.
NOTE:
For
the tire repair procedures with tire
repair kit see instructions included in
the kit.
This kit will provide a temporary tire
seal, allowing you to drive your
vehicle up to 6 miles (10 km) with a
maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
CAUTION!
• Intruding objects (e.g., screws or
nails) should not be removed from
the tire, which could compromise
the repair with the tire repair kit.
• Do not use the tire repair kit if the
tire shows lateral damages and/or the rim is damaged by driving with
flat tire.
• Tire repair kit can be used in outside
temperatures down to
approximately -4°F (-20°C).
• Replace the tire repair kit sealant gas
cylinder prior to the expiration date
(printed on the gas cylinder label) to
assure optimum operation of the
system.
NOTE:
• The
compressor power plug can be
inserted either in the 12 V power
outlet housed in the trunk or inside
the passenger compartment (see
“Interior Features” in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”).
• When having the tire serviced,
advise the Authorized Maserati
Dealer or service center that the tire
has been sealed using the tire repair
kit.
Using the Compact Spare
Wheel (for versions/markets
where provided)
Upon request, the vehicle may come
equipped with a compact spare wheel
(emergency wheel), jack and tools for
replacing a wheel. The compact spare wheel is stored in
the trunk and is supplied deflated in
order to limit the amount of space
occupied. An electric compressor is
also provided for inflating. In the
event of a tire puncture, proceed as
follows.
• Stop the vehicle in a place that does
not constitute a danger to traffic
and where the wheel can be
changed safely. The vehicle must be
level and on firm ground.
• Select the P (Park) mode and then
engage manually the electric
parking brake and turn the key in
the ignition switch to STOP (OFF)
position.
• If necessary, turn the hazard warning
flashers on and place the warning
triangle at the required distance.
WARNING!
• The jack should be used on level
firm ground wherever possible.
• It is recommended that the wheels
of the vehicle be chocked, and that
no person should remain in a vehicle
that is being jacked.

equivalent to a load of
approximately 44 lb (20 kg) being
placed on the handle of the wrench
supplied when extended for use.
• After refitting the standard wheel,
check the tire pressure.
Once finished:
•
completely deflate the compact
spare wheel by pressing on the valve
with the overhang of the valve cap;
• wrap the power cable and the
inflation hose inside the compressor
case;
• place the compressor, the jack, the
wrench and the adapter in the
container inside the compact spare
wheel;
• put the compact spare wheel in its
bag and put it back in the trunk
compartment. Emergency Release of the
Parking Brake In the event the electric parking brake
locks due to a total system failure (see
“Parking Brake” in section “Driving”),
it is not possible to move the vehicle,
since the thrust action of the brake
shoes will lock the rear wheels.
For moving the vehicle it is therefore
necessary to manually act on the
electric actuator to release the
pressure of the brake shoes on the
rear wheels by performing the
following operation.
CAUTION!
If the parking brake has been
activated in manual or automatic
mode and it is not possible to release
it by operating on the lever of the
central console, do not move the
vehicle since rear brake calipers might
be damaged. If you are not able to
perform the following operation, to
move the vehicle, load it on a rescue
vehicle, avoiding to move it. For more
information on vehicle towing, see
"Towing a Disabled Vehicle" chapter
in this section. Manual Release Procedure To manually release the parking brake,
you need to use the special tool
provided in the tool kit (see "Tool Kit"
in this section).
Proceed as follows:
• remove any luggage and/or the bag
containing the compact spare wheel
(if equipped) from the trunk
compartment;
• remove the floor panel from the
trunk compartment;
• remove the inside covering panel
from the battery compartment;
• remove the container in the rear
part of the trunk compartment
unscrewing its fastenings;

ignition switch must be turned in
MAR (ON) position, do not use the
ACC position.
Vehicle Towing Conditions Maserati only allows vehicle towing
either on a flatbed or with all four
wheels off the ground.
If flatbed equipment is not available,
and the transmission is still operable,
the vehicle may be flat towed (with all
four wheels on the ground) under the
following conditions. • The shift lever must be in N
(Neutral).
• The distance to be traveled must not
exceed 30 mi (50 km ).
• The towing speed must not exceed
30 mph (50 km/h).
If the transmission is not operable, or
the vehicle must be towed faster than
30 mph (50 km/h ) or farther than 30
mi (50 km) (for example on a
highway), tow with the rear driving
wheels off the ground and on a
platform of a rescue vehicle, or with
the rear wheels raised using a wheel
lift.
CAUTION!
If you have to tow the vehicle with 2
wheels raised, ensure that the key in
the ignition switch is in the STOP (OFF)
position. If this is not observed, when
the ESC is active, the ECU will store a
malfunction and the relative indicator
light
will illuminate on the
instrument cluster display. This
requires the intervention of an
Authorized Maserati Dealer to reset
the system. Use the Vehicle Tow Hook of
the Tool Kit CAUTION!
The tow hook should only be used for
towing the car on flat roads. Do not
use the tow hook to remove the car
that is stuck on off road stretches.
The tow hook can also be used to tow
the
vehicle on the platform of a tow
truck.
It is necessary to inform the operators
of the rescue vehicle about the vehicle
minimum height to avoid, during its
loading, any contact of the lower ends
of the front or rear bumper with the
tow truck loading ramp.
The tow hook is contained in the tool
kit (see “Tool Kit” in this section) and
must be screwed in its seat accessible
behind the front grille, right-hand
side.
