therefore, local laws should be checked
before using these tire types.
Snow Socks
Maserati approved traction devices
(snow socks only) may be used to
improve traction on compacted snow in
heavy snow conditions.
The use of snow socks is specified by
local regulations of each country.
The snow socks may be fitted only on
rear wheel tires.
NOTE:
To easily fit the snow socks, it is
advisable to lift the vehicle by acting
on the car height set-up (for further
details, see chapter "Lifter System" in
this section).
Check the snow socks tension after
driving for a distance of about 55 yds
(50 m) with the socks fitted.
With the snow socks fitted, it is
advisable to deactivate the ESC
system (see chapter "Drive Mode" in
section "Driving and Driver Assistance
Systems").
CAUTION!
• The use of traditional snow chains is
not allowed.
• The use of traditional snow chains
may damage the braking system and
compromise the security of the vehicle.
•
Broken snow socks can cause serious
damage. Stop the vehicle immediately
if noise occurs that could indicate
snow socks breakage. Replace the
damaged parts of the snow socks
before further use.
•
Do not exceed 30 MPH (50 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns
and large bumps, especially with a
loaded vehicle.
• Avoid holes in the road, do not drive
over steps or sidewalks and do not
drive on long stretches without snow.
This will prevent damage to the vehicle
and the roadbed.
• Use the snow socks on both axles to
avoid loss of control of the vehicle and
possible accidents.
Pneumatic Suspension Mode for
Wheel Change
The pneumatic suspension system is
equipped with a specific mode to be
used when vehicle must be lifted to
change one or several wheels/tires.
Understanding the Vehicle
This mode temporarily disables
pneumatic suspension automatic
leveling.
To activate this mode, scroll user
settings on MIA and select "Tire Jack
Mode" in submenu "Suspension". The
tick next to selected item will indicate
that this mode is active and system
is disabled (see chapter "Functions
of Settings Menu on MIA" in section
"Dashboard Instruments and Controls").
After servicing, restore original
conditions and eliminate the tick next
to selected mode: in this way the
pneumatic suspension system will go
back to normal operation.
