If you have to tow the
vehicle
If you need to tow the
vehicle, observe the following
recommendations:
- if possible, have the vehicle
transported on a vehicle equipped
with loading platform and specific
for roadside assistance and
recovery.
If this is not possible:
- tow the vehicle for a distance of
less than 62 mi (100 km) at a speed
below 37 mph (60 km/h).
Tow the vehicle using the towing
hook found in the toolkit. Screw the
towing hook down tightly in its seat,
on the lower, right-hand side of the
front bumper.
In order to tow the vehicle, turn the
key to
MAR (ON) and engage Neutral
by moving the gearshift lever to N.
Should the EPB be applied, you must
disengage it (see page 163).
The maximum angle of the towing
cable, both horizontal and vertical
shall be ±15°.
Do not extract the key, as
the steering wheel will lock
automatically and you will
be unable to steer the wheels.
WARNING: If you need to tow the
vehicle with two wheels raised,
make sure that the ignition key is
in position
STOP (OFF) . Otherwise,
with ESC activated, the relative
electronic control unit memorizes a
malfunction and the warning light
is activated on the instrument panel,
which requires the assistance of an
Authorized Maserati Dealer to reset
the system.
When towing the vehicle,
make sure that you observe
the road traffic regulations
concerning both the towing device
and driving conduct.
When towing the vehicle
with the engine off,
remember that, without
the assistance of the brake servo,
a stronger effort is required on the
brake pedal for braking and on the
steering wheel for steering.
Screw the towing hook
into its seat (approx. 11
turns). Accurately clean the
threaded seat before tightening the
hook.
WARNING: The maximum angle of
the towing cable, both horizontal and
vertical shall be ±15°.
