Driving on Snow or Ice
Please consider some general advice
for driving in these conditions, listed
below.
• Maintain a very moderate speed.
• Fit snow chains or specific tires if the
road is covered with snow: see the
paragraphs “Tires – General
Information” in this section.
• We recommend you to activate the
“I.C.E.” mode (see chapters “Drive
Mode” in this section).
• During the winter season, even
apparently dry roads can have icy
sections. Be careful when crossing
bridges, viaducts and roads that
have little exposure to the sun and
are bordered by trees and rocks.
They may be icy.
• Keep an ample safe distance from
the vehicles in front of you.
WARNING!
• Rapid acceleration on slippery
surfaces is dangerous. Unequal
traction can cause sudden pulling of
the driving wheels. You could lose
control of the vehicle and possibly
have a collision. Accelerate slowly
and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow,
wet mud, loose sand, etc.).
• Do not drive on or across a road or
path where water is flowing and/or
rising (as in storm run-off). Flowing
water can wear away the road or
path surface and cause your vehicle
to sink into deeper water.
Furthermore, flowing and/or rising
water can carry your vehicle away
swiftly. Failure to follow this
warning may result in injuries that
are serious or fatal to you, your
passengers, and others around you.
Although your vehicle is capable of
driving
through shallow standing
water, consider the following Cautions
and Warnings before doing so.
CAUTION!
• Always check the depth of the
standing water before driving
through it. Never drive through
standing water that is deeper than
47 in (150 mm).
• Determine the condition of the road
or the path that is under water and
if there are any obstacles in the way
before driving through the standing
water. • Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when
driving through standing water. This
will minimize wave effects.
• Driving through standing water may
cause damage to your vehicle
drivetrain components. After driving
through standing water, do not drive
if you are not sure about drivetrain
condition. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle
Warranty.
• Getting water inside your vehicle
engine can cause it to lock up and
stall out, and cause serious internal
damage to the engine. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle
Warranty.
• After driving through standing
water always have the fluids (engine
oil, transmission oil, etc) checked for
contamination at an Authorized
Maserati Dealer .
WARNING!
• Driving through standing water
limits your vehicle traction
capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph
(8 km/h) when driving through
standing water.
