Auxiliary Jump-Start
Procedure If your vehicle has a discharged battery
it can be jump-started using a set of
jumper cables and a battery of another
vehicle or by using a portable battery
booster. It is necessary to have proper
jumper cables in order to connect the
booster battery to the remote posts of
the discharged battery. Booster cables
have usually positive and negative
terminal clamps and are identified by a
different sheath color (red = positive,
black = negative). Maserati provides
on request jumper cables created for
its models and content in a practical
case.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
the “Maserati Jumper Cables Kit”,
available in the “Genuine Accessories”
range.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if
done improperly so please follow the
procedures in this section carefully. NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster
pack, follow the battery
manufacturer’s operating instructions
and precautions.
CAUTION!
• To jump start a vehicle do not use a
portable battery, a booster pack or
any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 14 Volts
or damage to the battery, starter
motor, alternator or electrical system
of the vehicle with the discharged
battery may occur.
• Do not use a battery charger for
emergency starting under any
circumstances. You could damage the
electronic systems, particularly the
control units managing the ignition
and fuel supply functions.
• If the battery is completely
discharged when the windows are
fully raised, open the door with the
utmost care; do not close the door
again until it is possible to lower the
window. WARNING!
• Using booster packs that have not
been checked, which could therefore
release a too high charging voltage
(higher than 14 V), in extreme
environmental conditions (for
example: closed areas or without
proper ventilation and temperatures
higher than 122°F/50°C or lower
than -4°F/-20°C) create the right
conditions for ignition which could
then cause the battery to explode.
Therefore you shall always perform
jump-starting operations using the
adequate tools and in the best
environmental conditions, taking all
necessary precautions.
• Do not attempt jump-starting if the
discharged battery is frozen. It could
rupture or explode during jump start
and cause personal injury.
• Do not carry out this procedure if
you have not done it before:
incorrect maneuvers can originate
high electrical discharges and even
cause the battery to explode.
• To avoid the risk of explosion or fire,
do not approach the battery withIn an Emergency

of the battery which protects the
positive pole.
Jump-Start Procedure WARNING!
• The battery is secured to the vehicle
with a metal clamp (indicated in the
picture), so be extremely careful not
to let the clips on the end of the
cables come into contact with it.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as
watch bands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical
contact. You could be seriously
injured.
• Do not allow the vehicles involved
in the jump-starting operation to
touch each other as this could
establish a ground connection and
cause personal injury.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary
electrical accessories.
• Set the parking brake, shift the
automatic transmission into P (Park)
and turn the key in the ignition
switch to STOP (OFF) position.
• If using another vehicle to jump start
the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach and set the
parking brake and make sure the
ignition is off.
• Connect one terminal clamp of the
positive jumper cable to the positive
(+) pole of the discharged battery.
• Connect the opposite terminal clamp
of the positive (+) jumper cable to
