Release after Battery
Disconnection
The following maneuver does not
allow the full release of the parking
brake but still allows to move the
vehicle, as eg. to load it on rescue
vehicles.
• Within 3 minutes after power off
(ignition device OFF ), reconnect the
battery.
• Turn the ignition switch in RUN
position.
• Press the brake pedal by raising
contemporarily the EPB control for 5
seconds: the brake cables will loosen
enabling the vehicle to be moved.
WARNING!
After each emergency release, the
warning light and related
break-down message will light up and
display on the instrument cluster. The
electric parking brake system remains
inefficient and must be repaired by
the Maserati Service Network to
resume operation.
Gearbox Manual Release
of P (Park) Position
The manual disengagement of the
shift from P (Park) has the purpose to
allow pushing or towing the vehicle if
not normally possible using the shift
lever (such as inability to start the
engine).
The current device is exclusively
intended for emergency situations,
but not for frequent use.
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully
applying the parking brake, before
activating the manual park release.
Activating the manual park release
will 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 lace 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 lace.
