(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.
Use the Vehicle Tow Hook of
the Tool Kit
CAUTION!
The tow hook should only be used for
towing the car on flat roads. Do not
use the tow hook to remove the car
that is stuck on off road stretches.
The tow hook can also be used to tow
the vehicle on the platform of a tow
truck.
It is necessary to inform the operators
of the rescue vehicle about the vehicle
minimum height to avoid, during its
loading, any contact of the lower ends
of the front or rear bumper with the
tow truck loading ramp.
The tow hook is contained in the tool
kit (see “Tool Kit” in this section) and
must be screwed in its seat accessible
behind the front grille, right-hand

Fuel Cut-out Inertia Switch
The vehicle is equipped with a safety
switch which activates in the event of
a collision, cutting off the fuel supply
and consequently causing the engine
to stop. It also prevents fuel spreading
if the fuel lines are damaged during
the accident.
Activation of the safety switch is
signaled by the illumination of the
warning light on the instrument
cluster display.
The switch is positioned underneath
the driver seat.
In order to operate the inertia switch,
lift the seat in the highest position.
WARNING!
After a collision, if you smell fuel or
note any leakage from the fuel supply
system, do not reactivate the switch in
order to prevent any fire risks.
The activation of the inertia switch
causes all the doors and the trunk lid
to unlock, the lighting of the internal
domelight and the hazard warning
flashers.

Battery Statement
Battery Statement Status of
Charge
To avoid problems with ignition and/or
the electrical system in general when
you are driving, the battery charge
status is constantly maintained and
guaranteed by the vehicle's recharge
circuit; the main component of which
is the alternator. This circuit is only
able to supply voltage to the battery
when the vehicle is traveling.
The
warning light on the
instrument cluster (see “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”), will
indicate any malfunctions in the
recharge circuit or an insufficient
battery charge status (flashing).
The vehicle is fitted with advanced
electronic systems, such as, for
example, the alarm system and various
electronic control modules, which
consume power even when the key in
the ignition switch is in theSTOP (OFF)
position and the vehicle is not being
used.
Therefore, it is fundamental that the
battery is properly charged to ensure
that the engine starts properly and
