Vehicle Towing Conditions

Maserati only allows vehicle towing
with all four wheels off the ground.
WARNING!
Single axle towing or use of a
tow dolly is not allowed since
it will severely damage vehicle
components.
Use of a tow dolly on front wheels is
strictly forbidden since front wheels
may still receive a residual amount
of torque and disengage the vehicle
from the tow dolly and affect safety
of both rescuers and other road
users.
Use the Tow Hook Included in
the Tool Kit
CAUTION!
The tow hook should only be used for
towing the car on flat roads. Do not
use the tow hook to remove the car
that is stuck on off-road stretches.
The tow hook is also used to tow the
vehicle on the platform of a tow truck.
Before carrying out this operation,
if the battery of the vehicle still
works, set "Transport Mode" on
MTC+ in "Suspensions" submenu
(see "MTC+ Settings" chapter in
section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls"). With this mode activated,
the ride height will be lowered to the
minimum value and the pneumatic
suspension system will be disabled to
help vehicle loading on the tow truck.
In an Emergency
It is necessary to inform the operators
of the rescue vehicle about the vehicle
minimum height to avoid, during its
loading, any contact of the lower ends
of the front or rear bumper with the
tow truck loading ramp.
The tow hook is contained in the tool
kit (see "Tool Kit" chapter in this
section) and must be screwed in the
seat located on the front and rear
bumper.
• To access the front tow hook seat
on the front bumper, remove the
cover on the right side of the bumper
lower grid.
