Parking Brake” in section “In an
Emergency”).
• “Parking Brake system revision: go to
dealer”
The EPB system requires
maintenance, therefore contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer to 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 Release of 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 toDriving

brake fluid level immediately (see
"Maintenance Procedure" in section
“Maintenance and Care”). If fluid is
below the minimum level, top up
with the recommended fluid and
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer immediately to have the
system checked. Brake fluid leaks
affect the operation of the braking
systems.
• The brake system performance in
terms of active safety is not a reason
for the driver to run unnecessary
risks. The driving style shall always
be suited to weather conditions,
range of visibility and traffic.
• The maximum deceleration that can
be obtained always depends on the
tire grip on the road surface. With
snow or ice on the road the grip is
obviously reduced and the braking
distance is very high, even with the
ABS system.
Brake Pads and Brake Discs Wear on the brake pads and brake
discs depends to a great extent on the
driving style and the conditions of use
and therefore cannot be expressed in
actual kilometers driven on the road. The high-performance brake system is
designed for optimal braking effect at
all speeds and temperatures.
Certain speeds, braking forces and
ambient conditions (e.g. temperature,
humidity and long outdoor stopping
periods) can therefore cause the
brakes to "squeal". This is normal and
will cease after a few brakings.
New Brake Pads and/or Brake
Discs New brake pads have to be “broken
in”, and therefore only attain optimal
friction to the brake disc when the
vehicle has covered several
hundreds km.
During this first period, the slightly
reduced braking ability must be
compensated for by pressing the brake
pedal harder. This applies whenever
the brake pads and/or brake discs are
replaced.
Brake Overheating 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 on the brake shoes 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.Driving

Tire Pressure Monitoring
System - TPMS Guidelines Each tire (including the spare tire, if
provided) should be checked monthly.
Tires should be checked when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer indicated on tire
inflation pressure label (applied on the
driver's rear door pillar) and in “Tire
Inflation Pressure” of section “Features
and Specifications”.
If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.
As an added safety feature,
your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicleDriving
