WARNING: In the case of performance
starting, check that the electric
parking brake is disengaged.
Malfunction indication
In the event of electric parking brake
system failures, the warning light
will illuminate.
Depending on the message displayed,
it signals the following failures of the
EPB system:
- Parking brake fault: go to dealer.
If the message warning you to go
to the nearest Authorized Maserati
Dealer is displayed, drive slowly and
remember that the electric parking
brake device is not functioning.
- EPB is overheated.
If the vehicle has been stationary
(key to STOP (OFF) ) for about 15
minutes without using the parking
brake, and the warning light
illuminates again after restarting
the engine, slowly drive to the
nearest
Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
- EPB fault, only manual EPB release
possible: see handbook.
Follow the manual emergency
deactivation procedure in order to
release the parking brake.
- Parking brake system revision: go to
dealer.
The EPB system requires
maintenance, therefore contact
your
Authorized Maserati Dealer to
have the system corrected.
In the event of an EPB
failure, take your vehicle
to the nearest Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.
Emergency disengagement
In the event that the electric parking
brake locks with a total system failure,
you need to manually release the
parking brake using the special tool
provided in the toolkit.
Proceed as follows:
- remove the toolkit and covering
panel from the luggage
compartment;
- remove the covering panel
containing the toolkit and the tire
repair kit;
- remove the cap on the right-hand
side of the EPB ECU;
- insert the special tool into place;
- turn the handle clockwise until it is
released;
- remove the tool from its seat and
close it with the cap.
After each manual
emergency release
procedure, the electric
parking brake system remains non-
functioning until the situation is
corrected by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
