WARNING: If a gearbox failure is
signalled, take your vehicle to the
nearest Centre of the Maserati Service
Network as soon as possible to have
the problem corrected.
If the failure is signalled when the
engine is started, it means that the
gearbox ECU detected a fault when
the vehicle was last used. Also in
this case, take your vehicle to the
nearest Centre of the Maserati
Service Network to have the gearbox
checked.
When the gearbox is
malfunctioning, drive very
carefully considering that
5
vehicle performance is reduced. In
addition, the reverse gear safety lock
may not be active: absolutely do not
shift the lever to R when the vehicle
is moving.
156
Gearbox oil temperature too high
This message is displayed when the
gearbox oil has reached the maximum
temperature. In this case, the gearbox
ECU sets an emergency program.
WARNING: It is advisable to stop the
vehicle, shift the lever to P or N and
keep the engine running idle until
the warning light goes off and
the message disappears. Resume
driving without demanding high
engine performance. If the warning
light comes on again and the message
reappears, stop once again letting
the engine idle until the light goes
off and the message disappears.
If the interval between the two
indications is less than 15 minutes, it is
advisable to stop the vehicle, turn off
the engine and wait for the engine/
gearbox assembly to fully cool down.
Push start
The engine cannot be push-started. If
the battery is dead, start the engine
using an appropriate emergency
battery following the instructions
given in section 6 "In an emergency".
Towing 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 specifi c
for roadside assistance and
recovery.
If this is not possible:
- tow the vehicle for a distance of
less than 100 km (62 mi) at a speed
below 60 km/h (37 mph).
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 and engage Neutral by
shifting the gearshift lever A to N.
Should the EPB be applied, you must
disengage it (see page 174).
