In an Emergency
Freeing the Stuck Vehicle
If your vehicle is stuck in mud, sand,
or snow, it can probably be moved
backward and forward by a simple
rocking motion.
Steer the wheel right and left to clear the
area around the front wheels. Shift then
between D (Drive) or M (Manual) and R
(Reverse) mode (see chapter “Automatic
Transmission” in section “Starting and
Driving”). Shifting to M (Manual) mode,
try to free the car starting in second
gear.
At low speed motion of the vehicle,
you can switch quickly from D (Drive)
to R (Reverse), and vice versa, just by
pressing the corresponding buttons.
For more effectiveness press lightly on
the accelerator pedal in order to avoid
wheel slippage.
If unable to release the vehicle in one of
the previously described ways, enter the
low-grip driving mode, by choosing the
Comfort mode, and completely exclude
the yaw and slip control system, by
pressing the ESC OFF soft-key on the
Comfort display for at least 3 seconds.
Move the transmission between D
(Drive) and R (Reverse) mode to start.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the
drive wheels may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. Allow the
engine to idle with the transmission in N
(Neutral) mode for at least one minute
after every five rocking-motion cycles.
This will minimise overheating and
reduce the risk of transmission failure
during prolonged efforts to free a stuck
vehicle.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive drive
wheel speeds may cause damage, or
even failure, of the drivetrain and tires. A
tire could explode and injure someone.
Do not spin your vehicle's wheels
continuously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the
speed.
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).
Maserati provides on request jumper
cables created for its models in a pratical
case.
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.
