Parking - Maserati Spyder Owner's Manual

Parking

Engage the handbrake, engage the 1st
gear both uphill and downhill, turn the
wheels and switch off the engine (valid
for all versions, with either the manual
gearbox or the "Cambiocorsa"
gearbox).
As 1st gear is the most reduced, it is
more suited to use the engine as a
brake.
When parking on a sharp incline, use a
wedge or rock to block the wheels.
Never leave the ignition key in the
MAR position.
Always remove the key when getting
out of the car.
Never leave children
unattended in the car.
Do not park the car on paper,
grass, dry leaves or other
flammable materials. They
could catch fire if they come into
contact with hot parts of the exhaust
system.
Do not leave the engine
running with the car
unattended.

between the front seats.
