Parking Brake” in section “In an
Emergency”).
• “Parking Brake system revision: go to
dealer”
The EPB system requires
maintenance, therefore contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealerto have
the system corrected.
WARNING!
In the event of an EPB failure, take
your vehicle to the nearest Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.
Initialize the EPB System after a
Battery Disconnecting
After the detachment and the
subsequent connection of the battery,
on the instrument cluster display the
warning light will light up.
To initialize the EPB system lift, release
and lift again the lever located next to
the transmission shift lever.
Emergency Disengagement
In case of brake lock with complete
electrical system failure, it is necessary
to act on the electric actuator using
the special tool provided in the tool kit
to release the pressure of the parking
brake shoes (see “Emergency Releaseof the Parking Brake” chapter in
section “In an Emergency”).
EPB Operation with
Overheated Brakes
Driving on mountain roads with steep
slopes or a sports use of the vehicle
could overheat the brake system
components. In these conditions,
parking brake must not be used since
the push of the power actuator might
not be sufficient to ensure vehicle
braking, especially on a slope.
Drive normally without braking to
allow the brakes to cool down a few
minutes before stopping. In this way,
the automatic or manual activation of
the parking brake will ensure vehicle
braking.
Parking
Straighten the wheels and turn off the
engine.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
that the parking brake is fully applied
in automatic or manual mode and
place the transmission lever in the P
(Park) position.
Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
WARNING!
•Always check that the vehicle is
locked before leaving it.
•Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
•Do not park the vehicle on paper,
grass, dry leaves or other flammable
materials. They could catch fire if
they come into contact with hot
parts of the exhaust system.
•Do not leave the engine running
while the vehicle is unattended.
CAUTION!
When you need to park the vehicle on
a steep slope, both with the engine on
and off, it is recommended not only to
