If You Have To Tow The Car - Maserati Gransport Owner's Manual

If you have to tow the car

The car is fitted with a front
emergency towing hook.
The towing hook is located in the tool
box.
Do not use other attachment points for
towing.
To access the towing hook seat,
remove the cap on the lower right-
hand side of the front bumpers.
Screw down the hook into its seat.
WARNING: If you have to tow the
vehicle with 2 wheels raised, make sure
the ignition key is in the STOP position.
differently, with the MSP system
activated, the relevant control unit
would store a malfunction causing the
indicator to come up on the
multifunction display. This requires the
intervention of your Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the system
restored.
When towing the car, make
sure that you observe the
road traffic regulations
concerning both the towing device
and driving conduct.
Before towing the vehicle,
turn the ignition key to the
MAR position, engage neutral
("N"), then turn back the key to STOP
without removing it! Removing the
key automatically activates the
steering wheel lock, consequently
making it impossible to steer the
wheels.
When towing the car with the
engine off, remember that
without the assistance of the
brake servo, a stronger effort will be
required on the brake pedal and on
the steering wheel for steering.
Screw down the hook into its
seat (approx. 11 turns). Clean
the threaded seat before
tightening the hook.
