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 to

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 sufficientto 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.
