Towing a Disabled Vehicle
Vehicle Towing Conditions
This chapter describes the conditions
and methods to transport and tow a
disabled vehicle with a breakdown truck.
Maserati recommends transporting the
disabled vehicle with all four wheels
lifted from the ground on the platform of
a roadside assistance truck.
NOTE:
If the breakdown truck with flatbed is
not available, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer center.
WARNING!
Comply with the regulations regarding
assistance and vehicle towing in force in
each country.
CAUTION!
If you have to tow a vehicle with only
rear wheels raised, ensure that the
ignition device is in the STOP position. If
this is not observed, when the ESC is
active, the ECU will store a malfunction.
This requires the intervention of the
Authorized Maserati Dealer to reset the
system.
To carry out the towing operation, the
assistance truck must be equipped with
an appropriate towing/lifting equipment
to avoid damaging the vehicle.
Except for the front threaded seat to fix
the supplied hook included in the "Tool
Kit" (see “Use the Tow Hook Included in
the Tool Kit” of this chapter), the vehicle
is not equipped with other connection
points for towing operations with
breakdown truck.
CAUTION!
Any improper maneuver and use of
unsuitable equipment for recovering
vehicle in an emergency from off-road
location could seriously damage the
vehicle. Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer or anyone having suitable
equipment and the required expertise
to safely and properly carry out any
required operations.
If the use of the hook is not possible,
for loading the disabled vehicle on
the breakdown truck, attach the tow
equipment to the main structural
components of the vehicle and not to the
bumpers or other related brackets.
