Emergency starting with an
auxiliary battery
If the battery is flat, the engine can be
started using another battery having
the same or slightly higher capacity
than the flat one.
Proceed as follows:
1) Connect the positive terminals (+) of
the two batteries with a jumper
cable.
2) Connect the negative terminals (-) of
the two batteries with a jumper
cable.
3) Start the engine.
4) When the engine starts, remove the
cables in the reverse order to the
above.
If the engine does not start after a
number of attempts, do not continue,
consult your local Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
Do not carry out this
procedure if you do not have
experience; incorrect
procedures can cause high electrical
discharges and even cause the battery
to explode.
Do not approach the battery
with open flames or lit
cigarettes and not to cause
sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING: 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.
Remember that if the engine
is not started, the brake servo
and power steering systems
are not activated and therefore the
effort required on the brake pedal and
steering wheel is much greater.
Turning off the engine
With the engine idling, rotate the
ignition key to the STOP position.
A burst on the accelerator pedal
before turning off the engine has no
purpose and increases fuel
consumption.
WARNING: The ignition key can only
be removed from the switch when the
gearshift lever is in position P. In
addition, it must be removed within 30
seconds after turning the key to STOP.
If you do not remove the key within 30
seconds, you will need to turn it back
to MAR (ON) and then to STOP to
obtain a further 30 seconds within
which to remove the key. In the event
that the key unlocking system fails or if
it is not possible to shift the gearshift
lever to P, to remove the key you must
turn it to STOP, then remove the cap A,
using a pen or sufficiently pointed
tool, then press the button just
uncovered and at the same time
extract the key. Once the key has been
removed, refit the cap A.
