Transmission Manual
Release of P (Park)
Position The manual disengagement of the
shift from P (Park) has the purpose to
allow towing the vehicle if not
normally possible using the shift lever
(such as inability to start the engine).
This procedure is exclusively intended
for emergency situations, only!
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully
applying the parking brake, before
activating the manual park release.
Activating the manual park release
could allow your vehicle to roll away
if it is not secured by the parking
brake. Activating the manual park
release on an unsecured vehicle could
lead to serious injury or death for
those in or around the vehicle.
The cover that allows the emergency
manual
park release
is located on the
left part of the driver’s foot well.
• Lift the mat on the driver side to
access the cover.
• Slip the cover from its seat. • 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.

Jump-Start Procedure WARNING!
• Stay clear of the radiator cooling fan
whenever the engine hood is raised.
It can start anytime the ignition
switch is on. You could be injured by
the moving fan blades.
• 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 jumpstarting 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 ignition to OFF .
• If using another vehicle to jumpstart
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
(+) remote post of the vehicle with
the discharged battery after lifting
the protection cap of the cable
indicated on the external side of the
integrated power module.
• Connect the other terminal clamp of
the positive (+) jumper cable to the
positive (+) post of the booster
battery.
• Connect one terminal clamp of the
negative jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the booster
battery.
• Connect the other terminal clamp of
the negative (-) jumper cable to the
remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery
as rendered. • Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the
engine idle a few minutes, and then
start the engine in the vehicle with
the discharged battery. If using a
portable battery booster, wait a few
seconds after connecting the cables,
before starting the booster vehicle.
Once the engine is started, remove the
jumper cables in the reverse sequence.
• Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
negative (-) jumper cable from the
remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
• Disconnect the other terminal clamp
of the negative jumper cable from
the negative (-) post of the booster
battery.
• Disconnect the terminal clamp of the
positive (+) jumper cable from the
positive (+) post of the booster
battery.In an Emergency
