3) Start the engine.
4) When the engine starts, remove
the cables in reverse order.
If the engine does not start after a
number of attempts, do not continue
indefi nitely but consult the Maserati
Service Network.
Do not performed this
procedure if you are
unexperienced: incorrect
manoeuvres can originate high
electrical discharges and even cause
the battery to explode.
You are also advised not to
approach the battery with
open fl ames or lit cigarettes
and not to cause sparks: risk of
explosion and fi re!
WARNING: Never use a battery-
charger for emergency starting
under any circumstances: you could
damage the electronic systems and
in particular the ECUs that control
ignition and fuel supply functions.
Remember that when the
engine is not started, the
brake servo and power
steering systems are not functioning
and therefore the effort required on
the brake pedal and steering wheel is
much greater.
Turning off the engine
With the engine idling, rotate the
ignition key to the STOP position.
A burst on the accelerator pedal
before turning off the engine has
no purpose and increases fuel
consumption.
WARNING: The ignition key can only
be removed from the switch when
the gearshift lever is in position P and
within 30 seconds after turning the
key to STOP. If you do not remove
the key within 30 seconds, you will
need to turn it back to MAR and then
to STOP to have a further 30 seconds
within which to remove the key.
In the event that the key unlocking
system fails or if it is not possible
to shift the gearshift lever to P, to
remove the key you must turn it to
STOP, then remove the cap A using a
pen or suffi ciently pointed tool, then
press the button just uncovered and
at the same time extract the key. Once
the key has been removed, refi t the
cap A.
