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.

Manual Release Procedure
To manually release the parking brake,
you need to use the special tool
provided in the tool kit (see "Tool Kit"
in this section).
Proceed as follows:
• remove any luggage and/or the bag
containing the compact spare wheel
(if equipped) from the trunk
compartment;
• remove the floor panel from the
trunk compartment;
• remove the inside covering panel
from the battery compartment;
• remove the container in the rear
part of the trunk compartment
unscrewing its fastenings;
• remove the cap on the right-hand
side of the EPB actuator;
• insert the flexible end of the special
tool into place;• turn the special tool handle
clockwise until it is released;
• remove the flexible end of the tool
from its seat on the actuator and
close it with the cap;
• reinstall the coverings and the
equipment removed for the
operation.
WARNING!
After each manual emergency release
procedure, the electric parking brake
system remains non functioning until
the situation is corrected by
anAuthorized Maserati Dealer.
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.
In an Emergency
6
221

• Remove the screwdriver from the
hole, being careful not to move the
transmission shift lever.
• Shift the lever fully into N (Neutral).
This position will allow vehicle
towing.
• Reinstall all the removed electrical
parts pushing it in the central
console seat until you hear the
locking click.
• Reinstall the covering panel on the
external side of the central console
press it until all pins are engaged in
their clips and “click” in place.
CAUTION!
Work extremely carefully so as not to
damage the central console trim
panels.
Freeing the Stuck Vehicle
If your vehicle is stuck in mud, sand, or
snow, it can probably be moved
backward and forward by a simple
rocking motion.
Steer the wheel right and left to clear
the area around the front wheels.
Shift then between D (Drive) or
MANUAL mode and R (Reverse) (see
chapter “Automatic Transmission” and
“Drive Mode” in section “Driving”).
Shifting to MANUAL mode, try to free
the car starting in second gear.
At low speed motion of the vehicle,
you can switch quickly from D (Drive)
to R (Reverse), and vice versa, just by
pressing the release button on the
shift lever.
For more effectiveness press lightly on
the accelerator pedal in order to avoid
wheel slippage.
If unable to release the vehicle in one
of the previously described ways,
enter the low-grip driving mode, by
pressing the “ICE” button, and
completely exclude the yaw and slip
control system, by pressing the
(ESC
Off) button for at least 2 seconds.
Moving the shift lever between D
(Drive) and R (Reverse) to start.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the
drive wheels may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. Allow the
engine to idle with the shift lever in N
(Neutral) for at least one minute after
every five rocking-motion cycles. This
will minimize overheating and reduce
the risk of transmission failure during
prolonged efforts to free a stuck
vehicle.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive drive
wheel speeds may cause damage, or
even failure, of the drivetrain and
tires.

Towing a Disabled Vehicle
Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your
vehicle. Use only towing bars and
other equipment designed for the
purpose, following equipment
manufacturer’s instructions.
Safety chains are mandatory.
Except for the front threaded seat to
fix the supplied hook (see “Tool Kit”
chapter in this section), the vehicle is
not equipped with other connection
points for towing operations with tow
truck.
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 theAuthorized
Maserati Dealeror anyone having
suitable equipment and the required
expertise to safely and properly carry
out any required operations.
Make sure you comply with local
towing regulations.
•If the vehicle's battery is discharged,
it is necessary to shift the automatic
transmission out of the P (Park)Position and release the parking
brake (see “ Transmission Manual
Release of P (Park) position” and
“Emergency Release of the Parking
Brake” in this section).
•If the vehicle battery is still charged,
turn off the engine and disengage
the parking brake manually (if
automatically engaged) by using the
command at the side of the
transmission shift lever (see “Parking
Brake” chapter in section “Driving”).
Shift then manually the transmission
out of P (Park) as described in
“Transmission Manual Release of P
(Park) Position” chapter of this
section. If you need to use the
accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.)
while being towed, the key in the
ignition switch must be turned in
MAR (ON)position, do not use the
ACCposition.
Vehicle Towing Conditions
Maserati only allows vehicle towing
either on a flatbed or with all four
wheels off the ground.
If flatbed equipment is not available,
and the transmission is still operable,
the vehicle may be flat towed (with all
four wheels on the ground) under the
following conditions.• The shift lever must be in N (Neutral).
• The distance to be traveled must not
exceed 30 mi (50 km ).
• The towing speed must not exceed
30 mph (50 km/h).
If the transmission is not operable, or
the vehicle must be towed faster than
30 mph (50 km/h ) or farther than 30
mi (50 km) (for example on a
highway), tow with the rear driving
wheels off the ground and on a
platform of a rescue vehicle, or with
the rear wheels raised using a wheel
lift.
CAUTION!
If you have to tow the vehicle with 2
wheels raised, ensure that the key in
the ignition switch is in theSTOP (OFF)
position. If this is not observed, when
the ESC is active, the ECU will store a
malfunction and the relative indicator
light
will illuminate on the
instrument cluster display. This
requires the intervention of an
Authorized Maserati Dealerto reset
the system.
