• When driving inside a tunnel in
daylight turn on the low beams in
advance; avoid high beams and
be aware of the rapid brightness
change. Avoid abrupt maneuvers that
could be dangerous for the following
vehicle.
• Never coast downhill with the engine
off or in neutral.
• Remember that passing other
vehicles when driving uphill is
slower and thus requires more free
distance on the road. If you are being
overtaken on a hill, slow down and
allow the other vehicle to pass.
Driving on Snow or Ice
Please consider some general advice
for driving in these conditions, listed
below.
• Maintain a very moderate speed.
• Fit snow chains or specific tires if the
road is covered with snow,
chapter"Tires Information" in section
"Safety".
• We recommend you to activate the
"I.C.E." mode (see chapters "Drive
Mode" and "Off-Road Drive" in this
section).
• During the winter season, even
apparently dry roads can have icy
sections. Be careful when crossing
bridges, viaducts and roads that have
little exposure to the sun and are
bordered by trees and rocks. They
may be icy.
• Keep an ample safe distance from the
vehicles in front of you.
WARNING!
Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces
is dangerous. Accelerate slowly and
carefully whenever there is likely to
be poor traction (ice, snow, wet mud,
loose sand, etc.).

Starting and Driving
Trailer Towing
In this section you will find safety tips
and information on limits to the type
of towing you can reasonably do with
your vehicle.
NOTE:
• On the TROFEO version you can not
install the trailer tongue.
• Using original Maserati equipment
offers an advantage, compared to
aftermarket one, in terms of driving
safety and utilizing the vehicle
potential under all conditions,
especially considering that ESC and
AWD systems feature specific settings
for trailer towing. Further to this, if
vehicle use conditions so allow, the
original trailer tongue allows use
of the driver assist systems present
on-board.
• To maintain the new vehicle limited
warranty coverage, follow the
requirements and recommendations
in this chapter.
Trailer Tongue Weight
Maximum load of tow vehicle is
reduced by the trailer tongue weight
and the load on the same due to the
trailer. Trailer tongue weight increases
vehicle weight.
