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)
Position The manual disengagement of the
shift from P (Park) has the purpose to
allow towing the vehicle if not
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
located on the
left part of the driver’s foot well.
• Lift the mat on the driver side to
access the cover.
• Slip the cover from its seat.In an Emergency

• Take strap out of its seat.
• With the tip of a screwdriver press
the clip shown in the picture box
and lift the strap up to release the
transmission from the P (Park)
position. The new position will allow
vehicle moving and towing.
• Release the parking brake only when
the vehicle is securely connected to a
tow vehicle. Auxiliary Jump-Start
Procedure If your vehicle has a discharged
battery it can be jump-started using a
set of jumper cables and a battery of
another vehicle or by using a portable
battery booster. It is necessary to have
proper jumper cables in order to
connect the booster battery to the
remote posts of the discharged
battery. Booster cables have positive
and negative terminal clamps and are
identified by the sheath color (red =
positive, black = negative).
NOTE:
An Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with information about
the “Maserati Jumper Cables Kit”,
available in the “Genuine Accessories”
range.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if
done improperly so please follow the
procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery
booster pack, follow the battery
manufacturer’s operating instructions
and precautions. CAUTION!
• To jump start a vehicle do not use a
portable battery, a booster pack or
any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 14 Volts
or damage to the battery, starter
motor, alternator or electrical system
of the vehicle with the discharged
battery may occur.
• Do not use a battery charger for
emergency starting under any
circumstances. You could damage
the electronic systems, particularly
the control units managing the
ignition and fuel supply functions.
• If the battery is completely
discharged when the windows are
fully raised, open the door with the
utmost care; do not close the door
again until it is possible to lower the
window.
WARNING!
• Always perform jump-starting
operations with appropriate tools
and environmental conditions,
taking all necessary precautions.

• Do not attempt jump-starting if the
discharged battery is frozen.
• To avoid the risk of explosion or fire,
do not approach the battery with
open flames or cigarettes that could
generate sparks.
NOTE:
If you need to disconnect the battery
from the vehicle electrical system, see
“Maintenance — Free Battery” in
section “Maintenance and Care”).
