In an Emergency
Emergency Release of the
Parking Brake
In the event the electric parking
brake locks due to a system failure
(see chapter “Parking Brake” in
section “Driving and Driver Assistance
Systems”), it is not possible to move the
vehicle, since the thrust action of the
power actuator that operates on the
brake pad inside each rear caliper will
lock the rear wheels.
After verifying that the battery is
sufficiently charged (otherwise use an
external power source connected to the
vehicle electric system to operate the
EPB control lever and try to unlock the
parking brake), for moving the vehicle
it is necessary to act on the power
actuator or caliper in order to release
the pressure on the pads of the rear
brake calipers. Contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to carry out this
operation.
CAUTION!
If the parking brake has been activated
in manual or automatic mode and it is
not possible to release it by operating
on the lever under the driver lower
side of the dashboard, do not move
the vehicle since rear brake calipers
might be damaged. To move the vehicle,
load it on a rescue vehicle, avoiding to
move it if only the rear axle is lifted, since
the torque converter of AWD system
might be seriously damaged. For more
information on vehicle towing, see
"Towing a Disabled Vehicle" chapter in
this section.
