• Take strap out of its seat.
• With the tip of a screwdriver press
the clip shown in the picture box
and lift the strap up to release the
transmission from the P (Park)
position. The new position will allow
vehicle moving and towing.
• Release the parking brake only when
the vehicle is securely connected to a
tow vehicle. 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 positive
and negative terminal clamps and are
identified by the sheath color (red =
positive, black = negative).
NOTE:
An 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!
• Always perform jump-starting
operations with appropriate tools
and environmental conditions,
taking all necessary precautions.

monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are known 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. For more

Towing a Disabled Vehicle Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your
vehicle.
CAUTION!
Any improper maneuver and use of
unsuitable equipment for recovering
vehicle in an emergency from off road
location could seriously damage the
vehicle. Contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
Manual Release of Transmission
with Low Battery In order to push or tow the vehicle if
unable to shift the transmission out of
P (Park) (such as a discharged battery),
a manual park release is available. In
this case it is necessary to manually
release the shift lever and release the
parking brake if inserted (see
“Emergency Release of the Parking
Brake” in this section).
Follow the steps as indicated in
“Transmission Manual Release of P
(Park) Position” in this section to
manually disengage the transmission. Vehicle Towing Conditions Maserati only allows vehicle towing
with all four wheels off the ground.
WARNING!
Single axle towing or use of a tow
dolly is not allowed since it will
severely damage vehicle components.
Use the Tow Hook Included in
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 is also used to tow the
vehicle
on the platform of a tow truck.
Before carrying out this operation, if
the battery of the vehicle still works,
set "Transport Mode" on MTC+ in
"Suspensions" submenu (see "MTC+
Settings" chapter in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). With this mode activated,
the ride height will be lowered to the
minimum value and the pneumatic
suspension system will be disabled to
help vehicle loading on the tow truck.In an Emergency

• To access the front tow hook seat on
the front bumper, remove the cover
on the right side of the bumper
lower grid. • To access the rear tow hook seat,
remove the external cap on the right
side of the rear bumper (not present
on TROFEO version).
• Carefully clean the threaded seat
before screwing the hook.
• Screw the tow hook into its seat for
at least 11 turns. NOTE:

Heavy-Duty Vehicle Use If the car is mainly used under one of
the following conditions:
• towing a trailer;
• off-road;
• short, repeated journeys (less than
4–5 mi/7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
• engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of idleness;
you should perform the following
inspections more frequently than
recommended on the “Scheduled
Service Plan”:
• check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear; • check cleanliness of hood and trunk
locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage;
• visually inspect conditions of: engine,
transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (boots - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
• check battery charge;
• visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
• check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
• check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter of the A/C system;
• check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner filter.
CAUTION!
All maintenance operations for the
vehicle must be carried out by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer . For
routine and minor maintenance
operations which you can carry out
yourself, make sure that you have the
necessary experience and always use
suitable equipment, original Maserati
spare parts and the prescribed fluids.
Shall this not be the case, do not carry
any operation on your own and
contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer .
On Board Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated on board diagnostic
system called OBD II. This system
monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. When
these systems are operating properly,
your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as
well as engine emissions suited to
current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light
on the
instrument cluster display (refer to
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). The system stores as well
diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician by performing repairs.
Although the vehicle will be driveable
and will not need towing, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
as soon as possible.Maintenance and Care
