Auxiliary Jump-Start Procedure

If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper cables and a battery of another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster. It is necessary to have proper jumper cables in order to connect the booster battery to the remote posts of the discharged battery. Booster cables have positive and negative terminal clamps and are identified by the sheath color (red = positive, black = negative).

NOTE:
An Authorized Maserati Dealer can provide you with information about the “Maserati Jumper Cables Kit”, available in the “Genuine Accessories” range.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures in this section carefully.

NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack, follow the battery manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions.

CAUTION

1. To jump start a vehicle do not use a portable battery, a booster pack or any other booster source with a system voltage greater than 14 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or electrical system of the vehicle with the discharged battery may occur.
2. Do not use a battery charger for emergency starting under any circumstances. You could damage the electronic systems, particularly the control units managing the ignition and fuel supply functions.
3. If the battery is completely discharged when the windows are fully raised, open the door with the utmost care; do not close the door again until it is possible to lower the window.

WARNING

1. Always perform jump-starting operations with appropriate tools and environmental conditions, taking all necessary precautions.
2. Do not attempt jump-starting if the discharged battery is frozen.
3. To avoid the risk of explosion or fire, do not approach the battery with open flames or cigarettes that could generate sparks.

NOTE:
If you need to disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system, see “Battery Status and Maintenance” in section “Maintenance and Care”).

Battery Remote Posts Position
For easier operation, remote battery posts for jumpstarting are located in the engine compartment while the battery is stored in the trunk. Open the engine hood (see “Hood Operation” in section “Before Starting”) the positive remote post (+) and the negative remote post ( –) are easily recognizable by the icons labeled on the integrated power module.

Jump-Start Procedure

WARNING

1. Stay clear of the radiator cooling fan whenever the engine hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition device is on. You could be injured by the moving fan blades.
2. Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
3. Do not allow the vehicles involved in the jumpstarting operation to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and cause personal injury.
4. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
5. Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into P (Park) and turn the ignition device to OFF.
6. If using another vehicle to jumpstart the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach and set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is off.
7. Connect one terminal clamp of the positive jumper cable to the positive ( +) remote post of the vehicle with the discharged battery after lifting the protection cap of the cable indicated on the external side of the integrated power module.
   
8. Connect the opposite terminal clamp of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the booster battery.
9. Connect one terminal clamp of the negative jumper cable to the negative ( –) post of the booster battery.
10. Connect the opposite terminal clamp of the negative (–) jumper cable to the remote negative (–) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery as rendered.
    
11. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery. If using a portable battery booster, wait a few seconds after connecting the cables, before starting the booster vehicle.

Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence.

1. Disconnect the terminal clamp of the negative (–) jumper cable from the remote negative (–) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite terminal clamp of the negative jumper cable from the negative (–) post of the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the terminal clamp of the positive (+) jumper cable from the positive (+) post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the terminal clamp of the positive jumper cable from the remote positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.

NOTE:
If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery and charging system inspected at an Authorized Maserati Dealer center.
