Parking Brake
In the event the electric parking brake
locks due to a total system failure (see
“Parking Brake” in section “Driving”),
it is not possible to move the vehicle,
since the thrust action of the brake
shoes will lock the rear wheels.
For moving the vehicle it is therefore
necessary to manually act on the
electric actuator to release the
pressure of the brake shoes on the rear
wheels by performing the following
operation.
CAUTION!
If the parking brake has been
activated in manual or automatic
mode and it is not possible to release it
by operating on the lever of the
central console, do not move the
vehicle since rear brake calipers might
be damaged. If you are not able to
perform the following operation, to
move the vehicle, load it on a rescue
vehicle, avoiding to move it. For more
information on vehicle towing, see
"Towing a Disabled Vehicle" chapter in
this section.

Transmission Manual
Release of P (Park)
Position
The manual disengagement of the
shift from P (Park) has the purpose to
allow pushing or towing the vehicle if
not normally possible using the shift
lever (such as in the event of a battery
failure with inability to start the
engine).
The current procedure is exclusively
intended for emergency situations,
but not for frequent use.
WARNING!
Before performing the manual release
of P (Park) position, if possible, always
secure your vehicle by fully applying
the parking brake. Performing this
operation will allow your vehicle to
roll away if it is not secured by the
parking brake. Performing the manual
release of P (Park) position on an
unsecured vehicle could lead to
serious injury or death for those in or
around the vehicle.
• Move in the rearmost position the
driver's seat.

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 withopen flames or cigarettes that could
generate sparks.
NOTE:
If you need to disconnect the battery
from the vehicle electrical system, see
“Maintenance - Free Battery” in
section “Maintenance and Care”).
Access the Battery
The battery is stored in the trunk.
• Open the trunk lid (see “Open and
Close the Trunk Lid” in section
“Before Starting”).
• Remove any luggage from the trunk
compartment.
• Remove the floor panel from the
trunk compartment.
• Remove the inside covering panel
from the battery compartment.Remove the cover from the right side
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 toSTOP (OFF)position.

Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from
a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to
remove frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out
of contact with petroleum products
such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Spray nozzles
If the jet does not work, first check
that there is fluid in the pan (see
paragraph “Level checks” in this
section) then check that the nozzles
are not clogged.
Blades Replacement
• Move the right multifunction lever
into “OFF” position, (see chapter
“Windshield Wipers and Washers” in
section “Understanding the
Vehicle”).
• Lift the end of the arm provided with
the blade from the windshield.
• Rotate the blade on the arm in order
to access the release latch, shown in
the detail of picture.
• Press the release latch to free the
blade.
• Turn and slip off the blade from the
arm and replace it.• Return the blade to its original
position on the windshield.

Due to the difficulty of this operation,
we recommend that you contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealerfor
replacement of the blades.
Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points,
including such items as seat tracks,
door hinge pivot points and rollers,
trunk lid and hood, sliding doors and
hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically with a lithium based
grease, to assure quiet, easy operation
and to protect against rust and wear.
Prior to the application of any
lubricant, the parts concerned should
be wiped clean to remove dust and
grit; after lubricating excess oil andgrease should be removed. Particular
attention should also be given to hood
latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other
underhood services, the hood latch,
release mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated. The
coupling pin of the lock on the rear
driver door pillar should be lubricated
twice a year, preferably in the Fall and
Spring. Apply a small amount of high
quality lubricant directly into the lock
cylinder.
