Hazard Warning Flashers The hazard warning flashers switch is
located in the center of the central
console, behind the multimedia
navigation controls.
Press the switch to turn on the hazard
warning flashers to warn oncoming
traffic of an emergency. When these
lights illuminate, the turn signals, the

safety hazard for other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to
seek assistance, the hazard warning flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the
OFF position.
CAUTION!
• When the hazard warning flashers
are activated, the turn signals
control is disabled.
• The extended use of the hazard
warning flashers may wear down
your battery.
In the Event of an
Accident It is important always to keep calm.
• If not directly involved, stop at a safe
distance of at least ten yards (meters)
away from the accident area.
• If on a highway, stop without
obstructing the emergency lane and
be especially careful if you need to
exit the vehicle.
• Turn off the engine and switch on
the hazard warning flashers.
• At night, illuminate the accident area
with the headlights.
• Always act with caution to avoid the
risk of being crashed into by other
drivers.
• Indicate that an accident has
occurred by placing the emergency
triangle (if equipped) in a well visible
position and at the prescribed
distance.
• Call the emergency services,
providing as much information as
possible. On the highway, use the
special call boxes.
• Remove the ignition key (if present)
from the vehicles involved.

people around you to put their
cigarettes out.
• To extinguish fires, even small ones,
use a fire extinguisher, blankets,
sand or earth. Never use water.
• In multiple accidents occurred on
highways, particularly where
visibility is poor, there is a high risk
of being involved in other collisions.
Leave the vehicle immediately and
move away from the area.
In case of Injured Persons • Never leave the injured person
alone. Persons not directly involved
in the accident are also required to
give assistance.
• Do not crowd around injured
persons.

go back to normal operation.
NOTE:
The compact spare wheel is supplied in
aluminum or steel: the pictures show
the one in aluminum.
The compact spare wheel is stored in
the trunk and is supplied deflated in
order to limit the amount of space
occupied. An electric compressor is also
provided for inflating. In the event of
a tire puncture, proceed as follows.
• Stop the vehicle in a place that does
not constitute a danger to traffic and
where the wheel can be changed
safely. The vehicle must be level and
on firm ground.
• Select the P (Park) mode and then
engage manually the electric parking
brake and move the ignition switch
to OFF position.
• If necessary, turn the hazard warning
flashers on and place the warning
triangle (if equipped) at the required
distance.
WARNING!
• The jack should be used on level firm
ground wherever possible. • It is recommended that the wheels
of the vehicle be chocked, and that
no person should remain in a vehicle
that is being jacked.
• If the vehicle has been stopped on a
slope or an uneven surface, place
chocks or other suitable items in
front of or behind the wheels to
stop the vehicle from moving.
• Never start or run the engine with
the vehicle on a jack.
• No person should place any portion
of their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
• Lift the ground coverage of the
trunk
(see chapter “T ool Kit” in this
section).
• Take the tools (indicated in picture)
for changing the wheel from the
container. • Unscrew and pull out the locking
wheel knob.
• Take the container, the compressor
and the compact spare wheel out of
the trunk.
• Remove from the compressor case
the inflation hose and the cable with
a plug for the power outlet.
• Unscrew the valve cap of the
compact spare wheel and screw the
fitting of the inflation hose onto the
valve.
• Insert the plug in one of the
available power outlets fitted in the
trunk or passenger compartment.
• Set the ignition device on ACC or
RUN position.
• Turn the compressor on by pressing
the switch.
• Stop the compressor pressing switch
again, when the pressure indicatedIn an Emergency

“Features and Specifications”) and
screw the cap on the compact spare
wheel valve.
WARNING!
• In order to obtain a more accurate
reading, the compressor should be
switched off when checking the tire
pressure of the compact spare wheel
on the pressure gauge.
• Do not run the compressor for more
than 20 minutes: there is a risk it
could overheat. Also, prolonged
power absorption may discharge the
battery, subsequently preventing
the engine from starting. • The compressor has been designed
exclusively to inflate compact spare
wheels; do not use it to inflate air
mattresses, dinghies etc.
• Remove the center cover of the
wheel
rim (if provided) levering into
the provided groove on the outer
edge of the cover.
• Fit the adapter on the wrench.
Extend the wrench as shown, then
loosen by approximately one turn,
the five bolts on the wheel to be

the bolts securing the spare wheel
(63 ± 7 lbf·ft/ 86 ± 10 Nm). • To avoid the risk of forcing the
vehicle off the jack, do not tighten
the wheel bolts fully until the
vehicle has been lowered. Failure to
follow this warning may result in
personal injury.
WARNING!
• The spare wheel is narrower than
standard wheels and must only be
used to travel the distance required
to reach a service station, where the
punctured tire can be repaired or
replaced.
• Do not exceed a maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) when using the
compact spare wheel; when this
limit is exceeded, the stability, road
holding and braking of the vehicleIn an Emergency

Emergency Release of the
Parking Brake In the event the electric parking brake
locks due to a system failure (see
“Parking Brake” in section “Driving”),
it is not possible to move the vehicle,
since the actuator that operates on the
brake pad inside each rear caliper will
lock the rear wheels.
After verifying that the battery is
sufficiently charged (otherwise use an
external power source connected to
the vehicle electric system to operate
the EPB control lever and try to unlock
the parking brake), for moving the
vehicle it is necessary to force the
actuator to release the rear brake
discs. Contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer to carry out this operation.
WARNING!
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. For more information on vehicle towing see "Towing a Disabled
Vehicle" chapter in this section.
Transmission Manual
Release of P (Park)

normally possible using the shift lever
(such as inability to start the engine).
This procedure is exclusively intended
for emergency situations, only!
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully
applying the parking brake, before
activating the manual park release.
Activating the manual park release
could allow your vehicle to roll away
if it is not secured by the parking
brake. Activating the manual park
release on an unsecured vehicle could
lead to serious injury or death for
those in or around the vehicle.
The cover that allows the emergency
manual
park release is
