This device allows the driver to operate the ignition switch with the push of a button, as long as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is inside the vehicle. The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has three operating setups indicated on the outer ring. Pressing and releasing the middle button, you can switch from one setup to the next without starting the engine, the switched on indication will turn amber. The engine will start by pushing the center button START/STOP with the brake pedal pressed and the device set in any of the three operating setups. 22 In case the ignition switch does not change by pushing a button, the RKE transmitter (key fob) may have a low or discharged battery. If this occurs it is necessary to replace the battery in order to operate the ignition switch (see “Requiring and Setting Additional Key fobs” in this section). It is still possible to operate the ignition device using the key fob RKE transmitter with discharged battery by pressing the nose side (side opposite of the emergency key) of the key fob on the START/STOP button. Before Starting NOTE: You can insert either side of the emergency key into the lock cylinder. Shift Ignition Device to OFF Alert Key fob This vehicle is provided with two programmed key fobs. The key fob contains a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and an emergency key that is inserted in to the remote. The emergency key allows you to open the vehicle by inserting into the lock of the opening handle on the driver's door, in case the battery of the vehicle or the key fob go dead. You can keep the emergency key with you when using valet parking. To remove the emergency key: • hold the mechanical latch on the back of the key fob sideways; • simultaneously remove the emergency key by sliding laterally towards the end of the key fob. 2 Opening the driver's door to exit the vehicle when the ignition device is set in ACC or RUN (engine not running), a beep will remind you to cycle the ignition to OFF. In addition to the acoustic signal a dedicated message is displayed on the instrument cluster. If the ignition device is left in the ACC or RUN position, when vehicle is locked the system will turn off the instrument cluster and automatically set ignition device to OFF. With the MTC+ System, the power window switches, radio, power sunroof (optional), and power outlets will remain active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition switch is cycled to the OFF position. Opening either front door will cancel this feature, it is possible to set the timing of this feature. 23 Before Starting NOTE: Refer to “MTC+ Settings” in Section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. 2 WARNING! • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob and lock your vehicle. • Do not allow children to be in a vehicle unattended or with access to an unlocked vehicle. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake trigger, brake pedal or the shift lever. • Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, and do not leave the ignition switch in the ACC or RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle. • Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may cause serious injury or death. • An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove the key fob from vehicle, cycle the ignition 24 switch to OFF and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. Sentry Key® Immobilizer System The Sentry Key® Immobilizer System prevents unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked. The system uses a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, an ignition switch and a RF (Radio Frequency) receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs expressly programmed can be used to start and operate the vehicle. After placing the ignition in the RUN position, the Vehicle Security Light (see picture) will light up for a three seconds bulb check. Before Starting If the light remains on after the bulb check, it indicates that there is a problem with the electronics: this condition will result in the engine being shut off after two seconds. If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle operation (engine running for longer than 10 seconds), an electronic fault is detected. Should this occur, contact the Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible for assistance. CAUTION! The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system is not compatible with some remote starting systems that can be installed in after-market. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection. All key fobs provided with the new vehicle have been updated with the vehicle electronics and are therefore able to guarantee correct functioning and protection. General Information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Replacement Key fobs NOTE: • When having the Sentry Key® Immobilizer System serviced, bring all key fobs provided with the vehicle with you to the Authorized Maserati Dealer. • When selling the vehicle, it is necessary to provide the new owner with all key fobs. 2 NOTE: Only key fobs that are updated with the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. WARNING! • Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. • Always remember to cycle the ignition switch to OFF. Duplication of key fobs may be performed by an Authorized Maserati Dealer only. This procedure consists of programming a key fob that has never been programmed to the vehicle’s electronics. 25 Before Starting Vehicle Security Alarm 2 26 The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle doors and trunk for unauthorized entry and the START/STOP button for unauthorized operations. The system includes a dual function anti-intrusion sensor and vehicle anti-lift sensor. The anti-intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle interior for motion.

If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door panel switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all open doors have been closed, the system checks the inside and outside of the vehicle for any valid key fobs RKE transmitter. If one of the vehicle's key fobs RKE transmitters is detected inside the vehicle, and no other valid key fobs RKE transmitters are detected outside the vehicle, the “Passive Entry” system automatically unlocks all vehicle doors and chirps the horn fourteen times (on the fifteenth attempt ALL doors will lock and the key fob RKE transmitter will be locked in the vehicle). This will happen even on vehicles equipped with Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free pressing RH button on its right lower part to close and lock the trunk lid. • the doors are manually locked using the door lock knob positioned on the door panel; The vehicle unlocks the doors under any of the following conditions: • there is a valid key fob RKE transmitter inside the vehicle; • there is not a valid key fob RKE transmitter outside the vehicle. NOTE: The vehicle will not unlock the doors under any of the following conditions: • the doors are locked using the key fob RKE transmitter; • the doors are locked using the button on the “Passive Entry” door handles; • there is a valid key fob RKE transmitter outside the vehicle and within 3.3 ft (1 m) of either “Passive Entry” door handle; • fifteen attempts are made to lock the doors using the door panel switch and/or the RH button (on the vehicles equipped with Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free) and then close the doors. If the key fob RKE transmitter is inside the passenger compartment and one of the doors locked only to the first detent of lock pawl (hence it is not fully closed), when the vehicle lock function with alarm system for trunk lid and doors is being activated by means of RH button at the bottom of the trunk lid, said function will be activated all the same. In this condition, any attempt to duly close the door that is partially open Before Starting will cancel vehicle lock and alarm system arming thus leaving vehicle unlocked. Since when the doors are locked, the "Passive Entry" system waits for about 16 seconds before verifying if a key fob RKE transmitter is present inside the vehicle. Release the Lid and Enter the Trunk For vehicles equipped with manual trunk lid, with the key fob within 3.3 ft (1 m) of the lid, press the button located between the licence plate lights and lift it manually.

Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof in open or partially open positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, then adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting. Before Starting Rear Window On versions equipped with heated rear seats is available the trigger button of the rear sunshade, positioned at the rear of the central console, which can be operated from the rear passengers. Rear Window Defroster The rear window defroster button is located on the climate control panel. See “Air Conditioning Controls” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”. Power Sunshade (optional) Your vehicle can be equipped on request with a power sunshade that will reduce the amount of sunlight that will enter through the rear window. The sunshade is rolled in and stored inside the cover behind the rear seats; when activated, it rolls out upwards. The power sunshade can be operated using the MTC+ System. • Touch the “Controls” soft-key. • Within 15 seconds, touch the “Rear Sunshade” soft-key to raise the power sunshade. • Within 15 seconds, touch the “Rear Sunshade” soft-key a second time to lower the sunshade. Without ADAS 2 • Press the button to raise the sunshade. • Press the button a second time to lower the sunshade. NOTE: With ADAS If the sunshade is in the raised position and the gear lever is positioned in R (Reverse), the sunshade will automatically fully lower. When the gear lever is shifted out of R (Reverse) the sunshade will automatically return to the fully raised position after approximately five seconds. The rear sunshade control and rear power windows switches, can be locked by pressing the window lockout button on the driver side door panel. 47 Before Starting Trunk Lid Operation 2 . The manual trunk lid can be unlocked from inside the vehicle by pressing the button on the front dome console. This command will fully open the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free (if equipped). Pressing this button in sequence, if the power trunk lid stops in intermediate position, it resumes his opening movement. the license plate lights, when the vehicle has been unlocked using the key fob or the “Passive Entry” system. NOTE: The shift lever must be in P (Park) before the button can operate. The manual trunk lid can be released from outside the vehicle by pressing the button on the key fob with RKE transmitter twice within five seconds or by using the external release button located on the lower side of the trunk lid ledge, between 48 When the button on the key fob is pressed twice within five seconds, the direction indicators flash twice to indicate the opening or closing of the trunk lid, if the light flashing function at closing is activated on MTC+ (for more information, see the chapter "MTC+ Settings" in section Before Starting “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). To manually close the trunk lid use the handle as indicated beside the closing device. With the ignition device in the OFF position, the trunk open symbol and message will display until closure. See “Passive Entry System” in this section for more information on trunk lid operation with the “Passive Entry” feature. Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free (optional) With the ignition switch in RUN position, the red symbol will display on the instrument cluster with the message indicating that the trunk lid is open. Once the trunk is closed both symbol and message will disappear from the display. Automatic opening and closing movement of the trunk lid is driven by electric actuators and a motorized latch ensuring lid locking upon closing. Power Trunk lid can be opened using button on the key fob RKE transmitter and the button on driver side door trim panel used also for non-power version. The button on key fob and button on dome console not only allows user to completely open the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free, but also to stop it at any intermediate position by pressing the button again at anytime you wish to stop and resume the opening process. In addition to these commands, it is possible open and close the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free by simply moving your foot under the rear bumper, if the vehicle is so equipped with the kick sensor option, as specified in the paragraph “Hands Free Power Trunk Release and Closing”. In this latter case, the lid will be opened and closed only if the “Passive Entry” system acknowledges the presence of the key fob RKE transmitter within 3.3 ft (1 m) of the trunk lid. Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free uses the button in between the license plate lights, indicated in figure, to activate the opening once the car has been unlocked by the key fob or by the “Passive Entry” function. By pressing this button when the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free is closed you can open it completely or by pressing the button again stop the opening process, or by pressing the button again invert the movement and close it completely. 2 49 Before Starting When the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free is open, to move it there are two buttons positioned on its right lower part as indicated in figure. 2 When the power trunk lid is completely open if you press and release the LH button , the power trunk lid will be completely closed unless it is stopped; • if instead the power trunk lid is in an intermediate position and you press and release the LH button during the closing or opening stroke, it will be stopped; • if instead the power trunk lid is stopped in an intermediate position and you press and release the LH button , it will reverse its previous movement and it will be completely opened or closed unless it is stopped again. 50 In any case, when you press the LH button , the doors will not be locked and the alarm system will not be armed. When the power trunk lid is completely open if you press and release the RH button , the power trunk lid will be completely closed unless it is stopped; • if instead the power trunk lid is in an intermediate position and you press and release the RH button during the closing or opening stroke, it will be stopped; • if instead the power trunk lid is stopped in an intermediate position and you press and release the RH button , it will reverse its previous movement and it will be completely opened or closed unless it is stopped again. In any case, when you press the RH button , the doors will not be locked and the alarm system will not be armed immediately, but only when the power trunk lid will have reached the totally closed position as effect of every movement commands received from every other available inputs. NOTE: • The order of the functions shown does not represent the sequence in which they can be performed. • The buttons of the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free do not work if a gear is engaged or if the vehicle speed is higher than 0 (km/h - mph). • The Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free does not work with temperatures lower than −22 °F (−30 °C) or higher than 150 °F (65 °C). • If the opening buttons or the handles are operated while the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free is closing, the stroke of lid stops. Pressing another time the same command it reverses movement and fully open. • If the opening buttons or the handle are operated while the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free is opening, the motor of the lid is disabled to allow manual operation. • If the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free finds several obstacles during the same operating cycle, it will stop automatically and must be opened or closed manually. • If the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free is closing and a gear is engaged, the lid Before Starting will continue closing. In this condition, it is possible that, during the closing stroke, it may find an obstacle and stop. Set the Position of Maximum Power Trunk Lid Opening The maximum opening position of the trunk lid can be modified using the previously described buttons on its right lower side. 1. Activate the trunk lid and stop it in the new maximum opening position to be set, by pressing the LH button. and RH buttons 2. Press the LH at the same time and keep them pressed for 3 seconds. 3. Release both buttons. Upon the following opening controls, the trunk lid will stop in the stored position. If you want to reset the maximum possible opening position of the power trunk lid, proceed as described below starting from the previously set opening position. 1. Manually push the trunk lid to the maximum possible opening position. 2. Repeat the previously performed steps 2 and 3. Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free Automatic Safe Movement Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free safe opening and closing is ensured by a protection system able to stop its movement when an obstacle is detected along the path: when opening or closing, it stops automatically and then slightly moves back. After the closing command, when Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free starts closing, all the indicators will blink to warn anyone within range. Apart from activating indicators blinking when power trunk lid is operated, it is also possible to activate a sound warning by selecting the relevant function within MTC+ user settings (see “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). When Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free edge reaches the car body, the motor locking the latch is activated automatically. If necessary, the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free can also be opened or closed manually. This operation could be required when the trunk lid remains open for a long period of time. WARNING! • Activate Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free only when vehicle is at a standstill. • Always pay utmost attention when opening and closing Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free. 2 • After the closing command, always make sure that Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free is completely closed. CAUTION! • Under extreme weather conditions, trunk lid seal could freeze and compromise Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free automatic opening and closing. • Before opening Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free, make sure that no objects or snow are set on trunk lid or might jam or prevent its opening. Hands Free Power Trunk Release and Closing This mode is controlled by the “Passive Entry” system (see paragraph “Passive Entry System” in this section), which automatically releases and closes the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free when you place your foot in the area under the rear bumper. 51 Before Starting 2 The system will only operate if the system acknowledges the presence of the key fob RKE transmitter within 3.3 ft (1 m) of the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free. The range of the sensors that detect your foot movement extends along and underneath the central portion of the rear bumper. To activate the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free, stand behind the vehicle, near the trunk lid, and move your foot under the bumper as if to kick something. Do not place your foot too close to the bumper or touch the underbody. WARNING! • Pay careful attention to the exhaust tailpipes as they can reach high temperatures and, in case of contact, they can cause severe burns. • When it is not necessary to open the Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free with the Hands Free mode, make sure the key fob results outside the range of use (3.3 ft/1 m). Otherwise, the Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free can be opened accidentally by an unintentional movement of the foot. 52 • if the movement was stopped another kick operation will invert a complete opening. NOTE: In order for the sensors to detect your foot movement, move your foot towards the vehicle rather than sideways and immediately pull it back: from this moment, the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free will activate within two seconds. If closed, with the foot movement the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free will: • unlock and completely open; • after another kick, will stop; • after another kick, will reverse its movement and completely close unless stopped again. If open, with the foot movement the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free will: • completely close but not lock; • another kick before the completed closing can stop the movement; • If your foot movement fails to activate the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free movement, wiggling your foot under the bumper will not help. Repeat the whole kick movement. • In particular situations, external factors affecting the sensor area may trigger the Hands free power trunk lid release feature. For example, when washing the vehicle, a water jet aimed at the sensor area may trigger the “Hands free” power trunk release feature. Keep the key fob RKE transmitter away from the sensing range of the sensors (10 ft/3 m) or disable the Hands free feature from the MTC+ menu (see “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). A key fob RKE transmitter located in the front seat passenger area is considered out of range of the “Hand free” trunk release sensor. • If somebody or something knocks against the Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free while it is moving, the safety Before Starting system might stop lid opening or closing movement. Trunk Lid Emergency Release If accessing the trunk compartment from the rear seats, operate the emergency release lever (see the chapter “Trunk Safety” in this section) in order to lower the rear seat backrest (see “Cargo Area” in section “Understanding the Vehicle”). If the power release control operated by pressing the button on the dome console fails, it may be that the battery is critical. In this case, it is possible to temporarily power the system by using the battery remote poles located inside the engine compartment (see “Auxiliary Jump-Start Procedure” in section “In an Emergency”). Then it is possible to normally open the trunk lid by using the key fob RKE transmitter. Have the vehicle subsequently serviced by an Authorized Maserati Dealer center in order to solve the failure. Trunk Safety WARNING! Do not allow children to have access to the trunk. Always close the trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. Once in the trunk, young children may not be able to escape. If trapped in the trunk, children can die from suffocation or heat stroke. 2 Trunk Lid Emergency Release from inside the Trunk As a security measure, an internal trunk emergency release lever is built into the trunk latching mechanism. In the event of a person trapped inside the trunk, the trunk lid can be simply opened by pulling on the phosphorescent handle shown in figures. With Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free Option 53 Before Starting Hood Operation Opening 2 Two latches must be released to open the hood. • Slightly lift the hood and push the safety catch as indicated by the arrow. The safety catch is located in the center of the hood. • From inside the vehicle, pull the hood release lever located under the left lower side of the dashboard. • Move to the outside and stand in front of the vehicle front grille. • Lift the hood completely: this operation is facilitated by two gas struts keeping the hood in the fully open position. With the ignition switch in RUN position, the red symbol will display on the instrument cluster with the message indicating that the hood is open. Closing Lower the hood, and then drop it. This should secure the inclusion of both latches. 54 CAUTION! To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it. WARNING! • Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the lid is not fully latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death. • Gear shifting is always active and may be performed even when one or more doors, the hood or the trunk lid are open. Therefore, in these conditions, take great care to avoid moving the transmission shift lever and so accidentally engage gears. Before Starting Occupants Restraint Systems The listed occupants restraint systems are some of the most important safety features in your vehicle: • Three-point seat belts (also called lap and shoulder belts) for the driver and all passengers. • Advanced front air bags for driver and passenger. • Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) for the driver and passengers seated next to a window. • Supplemental driver side knee air bag. • Supplemental seat-mounted side air bags. • An energy-absorbing steering column and steering wheel. • Front seat belts incorporate dual pretensioners that may enhance occupant protection by managing the energy created during an impact. • All seat belt systems (except the driver’s) include Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR), which lock the seat belt webbing into position by extending the belt all the way out and then adjusting the belt to the desired length to restrain a child seat or secure a large item in a seat. Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your restraint system properly, to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible. If you are carrying children too small for adult-sized seat belts, the seat belts or the Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH) feature also can be used to hold infant and child restraint systems. For more information on LATCH, refer to “Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)” in this section. WARNING! To help provide maximum protection, you are advised to keep the seatback in the most upright position possible and the seat belt close to your chest and pelvis. If the seat belt is loose, in the event of an accident you could move too far forward and could be injured. Travelling with the seatback too far reclined could also be dangerous: even if the seat belts are fastened, they may not work correctly. In fact, the belt itself may not be close enough to your body and, if it is in front of you, it could cause neck wounds or other injuries in an accident. Additionally, in an accident, the lower section of the belt could press against the upper part of your stomach rather than the pelvic area, causing serious internal injuries. 2 NOTE: The advanced air bags have a multi stage inflator. This allows the air bag to have different stages of inflation based on the severity and type of collision. Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air bag: • Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. WARNING! Infants in rear facing child restraints should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. An air bag deployment can cause severe or fatal injury to infants in that position. Do not use child seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front (Continued) 55 Before Starting 2 (Continued) passenger seat. Occupants in the front passenger seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, leaning toward the dashboard or otherwise sit out of position. The occupants’ back must be as upright as comfort allows, and must rest against the seatback with the seat belt properly fastened. Feet must be on the floor (i.e. not on the dashboard, seat or out of the window). Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (see “Child Restraints System” in this section) should be secured in the rear seat in child restraints seats or belt-positioning booster seats. Older children who do not use child restraints seats or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm. The safest place for a child that has outgrown the child safety seat is in the rear seat using the standard seat belt in combination with a suitable booster seat if needed so the seat belt is properly located on the child. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint 56 system to make sure that you are using it properly. • All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly. • The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as possible to allow the Advanced Front Air Bags room to inflate. • Do not lean against the door or window. Your vehicle has Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB), and if deployment occurs, the SABIC and SAB air bags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door. • If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer. WARNING! In an accident, all occupants can suffer much greater injuries if not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other occupants or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly. Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver, even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and cause an accident that includes you. This can happen far away from home or on your own street. Statistics report that seat belts save lives and help reduce the seriousness of injuries in an accident. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Three-Point Seat Belts All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with combination lap and shoulder belts. The belt retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or impacts. This feature allows the shoulder part of the belt to move freely with you under normal conditions, conforming to the body of the occupants. However, in an accident, the belt will lock and reduce your risk of striking the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out. Before Starting The driver is responsible for respecting, and ensuring that all the other occupants of the car also observe the local regulations concerning the use of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before starting the vehicle. Seat belts are designed to be used by persons whose physical characteristics (age, height, weight) are provided for by established legislation in each country. Anyone who does comply with these provisions may not travel in the front passenger seat. This also applies to children. Their heads are proportionally heavier and larger than those of adults, while their bones and muscles are relatively undeveloped. To help protect them in case of a collision, they must use special restraint or safety systems, even in the rear seat area. WARNING! • It is forbidden and dangerous to ride in a cargo area. In an accident, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. • Do not allow any person to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. • Be sure all passengers are in a seat and using a seat belt properly. • Wearing your belt improperly could make your injuries in an accident much worse. You might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt properly and to keep your passengers safe, too. • Hold the latch plate and pull the belt across you, make the belt go around your body and when the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” 2 • Two people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one another in an accident, hurting one another severely. Never use a lap/shoulder belt for more than one person. • Remember that, in the event of an accident, the rear seat passengers not wearing the seat belts are not only subject to personal injuries but also represent a serious danger for the front seat occupants. Three-Point Seat Belts Use Instructions • Enter the vehicle and close the door. Sit back and adjust the seat. • The seat belt latch plate is on the rear door pillar, above the seat on the external side. WARNING! • The seat belts height must be adjusted only with the vehicle stationary. • Do not bring sharp edges in contact with a seat belt. This could reduce their initial strength and cause them to tear in the event of a crash. • If a seat belt has been brought in contact with a sharp edge, or has been used to pin something to it, have it immediately replaced by our (Continued) 57 Before Starting (Continued) Authorized Maserati Dealer. 2 • A belt that is latched into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly. The lap portion of the belt could ride too high on your body, possibly causing internal injuries. Always latch your belt into the corresponding buckle. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop, you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt comfortably. • A belt that is worn under your arm is dangerous. Your body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in an accident, increasing head and neck injury. A belt worn under the arm can also cause internal injuries. • The lower part must adhere to the pelvis rather than the abdomen of the occupant. To fasten the lap belt pull slightly up the diagonal portion of the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in an accident. 58 WARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in an accident. The belt forces won't impact on the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible and keep it comfortable. • A twisted belt will not protect you properly. In a collision, it could even cut into you. Be sure the belt is straight. If you can't straighten a belt in your vehicle, take it to a Service Center immediately. • Do not use devices (clips, fastenings etc.) that prevent the seat belts from laying close to the occupants bodies. • Never carry children on a passenger’s lap. • Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt. • To release the belt, push the red button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary, guide the seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting. WARNING! A frayed or torn belt could break in an accident and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt/retractor assemblies must be replaced by an Authorized Maserati Dealer after an accident if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn belt, etc.). Three-Point Seat Belt Height Adjustment WARNING! The seat belts height must only be adjusted when the vehicle is stationary. The vehicle has a shoulder belt height adjuster for the driver and front passenger seating positions. Adjust the guide so that the shoulder portion of the belt is on the shoulder Before Starting and not falling off of it. The belt should be close to, but not contacting, the neck. Push the indicated button above the shoulder belt guide to release the anchorage, then move the belt slider up or down to the fixed position that fits you best. WARNING! After the adjustment, always check that the slider to which the oscillating ring is fixed, is locked into one of the positions provided. With the handgrip released, push again downward to allow the anchoring device to click into place, in the event that it has not been released in one of the positions provided. When you release the anchorage try to move the belt slider up and down to make sure that it is locked in position. Three-Point Seat Belt Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted three point belt. • Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point. • At about 0.5 to 1 ft (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt 180 degrees to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate. • Slide the latch plate upward over the folded belt. The folded belt must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate. • Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears the folded belt. Passengers Seat Belts All passengers seat belts are equipped with Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) and can be used to secure a child restraint system. For additional information, see “Installing Child Restraint Systems using the Vehicle Seat Belt equipped with ALR” under “Child Restraint Systems” in this section. If the passenger seat position should not be used to accommodate a child restraint system, only pull the belt out far enough to comfortably wrap around the occupant so as to not activate the ALR. If the ALR is activated, you will hear a ratcheting sound as the belt retracts. In this case, allow the belt to retract completely and then carefully pull out only the amount of belt necessary to comfortably wrap around the seat occupant. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a "click". 2 WARNING! • Remember that, in the event of a violent impact, the passengers in the rear seats who are not wearing the seat belts are not only subject to personal injury but also represent a danger for passengers sitting in the front seats. • Always fasten the seat belts. • Traveling without the seat belts fastened significantly increases the (Continued) 59 Before Starting (Continued) risk of serious injury in the event of a collision, even with the air bags. 2 • In the event of a collision, the seat belts help reduce the possibility of the vehicle’s occupants being thrown against the structures of the passenger compartment or out of the vehicle. • The air bags are designed to work together with the seat belts, not to substitute them. The front air bags only deploy in the event of certain head-on collisions of sufficient intensity. They may not be activated if the vehicle rolls over, or in the event of rear bumps or minor frontal collisions, or non-frontal collisions. Seat Belt for Rear Central Seat The rear central seat belt has two buckles and two metal latch plates; in this way it is possible to release it from the seat and fold down the long part (60) of the seatback (refer to “Cargo Area” in section “Understanding the Vehicle” for further information). To buckle the seat belt proceed as follows: • Take place in the central seat and pull out the belt from the upper 60 retractor in a normal manner, without twisting it. • Insert the first latch plate located at the end of the shoulder portion of the belt inside the left buckle (this is the one without the red unlatch button on the top of the slot). Children under 5 ft (1.50 m) in height, should be properly buckled up in a child restraint system. Automatic Locking Mode Setting • Buckle the lap and shoulder belt. • Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is extracted. • Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic locking mode. Automatic Locking Mode Unsetting • Insert the latch plate located at the end of the lap portion of the belt inside the right buckle. To unlatch the seat belt, release the right plate of the lap portion by clicking on the red button. Using Seat Belt in Automatic Locking Retractor Mode (ALR) Use the seat belt automatic locking mode anytime a child safety seat is installed in a seating position that has a belt with this feature. Unbuckle the three point seat belt and allow it to retract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the vehicle emergency locking mode. WARNING! • The belt and retractor assembly must be checked by an Authorized Maserati Dealer and must be replaced if the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) feature or any other seat belt function is not working properly. • Failure to replace the belt and Before Starting retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in collisions. Seat Belt Pretensioners The car is equipped with front seat belt pretensioners, that reduce slack in the belts in the event of a severe frontal impact. This guarantees the perfect adherence of the seat belts to the occupants bodies before the restraining action begins. This car is also equipped with a second pretensioner in the kick plate area. Its activation is signalled by the shortening of the metal cable and curling of its protective sheath. Pretensioners work for all size occupant restraint systems, including the child restraint systems. NOTE: To obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the pretensioning device, wear the seat belt tight to the chest and pelvis. Pretensioners are triggered by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). A pretensioner may be used only once because it is a pyrotechnic device. Pretensioners do not require any maintenance or lubrication: any changes to its original conditions will invalidate its efficiency. If, due to unusual natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the device has been affected by water and mud, it must be replaced. WARNING! It is strictly forbidden to remove or tamper with the pretensioner components. Any service intervention must be carried out only by qualified and authorized personnel. Always contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer. vibrations or localized heating (over 212°F/100°C for a maximum of 6 hours max.) in the area around the pretensioners may damage or deploy them erroneously. These devices are not affected by vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces or low obstacles. Contact the Authorized Maserati Dealer for any intervention that may be required. 2 Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert®) BeltAlert® is a feature intended to remind the driver and front passenger to fasten their seat belts. The feature activates with engine running. If the driver or front seat passenger is unbelted, the seat belt reminder light and the related message will turn on in the instrument cluster. Message remains on for 5 seconds. CAUTION! Operations which lead to impacts, 61 Before Starting 2 The BeltAlert® warning sequence begins after the vehicle speed is over 5 mph (8 km/h) for more than 19 seconds, by blinking the seat belt reminder light and message and by sounding an intermittent chime. Once the sequence starts, it will continue for the entire duration. After the sequence completes, the seat belt reminder light remains illuminated until the respective seat belts are fastened and the message remains on for 5 seconds. If the opened front door on the driver or passenger side is closed and the occupant presence sensor detects a status change from occupant not present to occupant present the system will repeat the warning sequence. The driver should instruct all other occupants to fasten their seat belts. 62 If a front seat belt is unbuckled while traveling at speeds greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), BeltAlert® will provide both audio and visual notification on the instrument cluster. The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is not active when the front passenger seat is not occupied. BeltAlert® may be triggered when an animal or heavy object is on the front passenger seat. It is recommended to restrain pets in the rear seat, in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by seat belts, and properly stow cargo. Seat Belts and Pregnant Women Seat belts should be worn by pregnant women: the risk of injury in the event of an accident is greatly reduced for them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt. The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. Pregnant women must position the lower part of the belt below the belly so that it passes over the pelvis and under the abdomen (see figure). When a safety belt is worn properly, it is more likely that the baby will not be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective is wearing them properly. WARNING! Pregnant women should observe the above indications, as well as local regulation concerning the use of seat belts. Before Starting Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) — Air Bags This vehicle has advanced front air bags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver's advanced front air bag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel in the area shown in the picture. On this area is embossed the word “SRS AIRBAG” for easier recognition. The passenger's advanced front air bag is mounted in the dashboard, above the glove compartment in the area shown in the picture. On this area is embossed the word “AIRBAG” for easier recognition. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a supplemental driver side knee air bag mounted in the dashboard below the steering column. NOTE: These air bags are designed to the advanced air bag regulatory requirements. The advanced front air bags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the air bag to have different rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision. This vehicle is equipped with driver and front passenger seat track position sensors that may adjust the inflation level of the advanced front air bags based upon seat position. This vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger seat belt buckle sensor that detects whether the front passenger seat belt is fastened. The seat belt buckle sensor may adjust the inflation rate of the advanced front air bag. This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) to protect the heads of front and rear outer occupants. The SABIC air bags are located above the side windows and their covers are also labeled “AIR bag”. This vehicle is also equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) for driver and passenger pelvis-chest-shoulder protection during a side impact. The Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags are mounted on front seats and are located in the outboard side of the front seats. 2 NOTE: After any accident, the vehicle should be taken to the Authorized Maserati Dealer immediately. Air Bag System Components Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC); • Air bag warning light on the instrument cluster; • Steering wheel and column; • Instrument cluster; • Driver advanced front air bag; • Passenger advanced front air bag; • Supplemental driver side knee air bag. 63 Before Starting 2 • Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB); • Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC); • Front and side impact sensors; • Front seat belt pretensioners; • Seat belt buckle switch and seat track position sensors; • Pyrotechnical charge to cut power from the battery; it is located on the positive battery terminal. WARNING! The air bag is not a substitute for the seat belts. Correct use of the seat belts, in combination with the air bag, will offer protection for the driver and passenger in the front seat in the event of a head-on collision. Advanced Front Air Bags Properties The advanced front air bag system has multistage driver and front passenger air bags. This system provides air bag inflation rates which are appropriate to the severity and type of collision as determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which may receive 64 information from the front impact sensors. The first stage inflator is triggered immediately during an impact that requires air bag deployment. This inflation rate is used in less severe collisions. A higher energy output, inflation rate, is used for more severe collisions. CAUTION! • The electronic control unit provides for the activation of the pretensioners, front air bags or side air bags (front and rear) based on different criteria, according to the type of impact. Failure of one or more systems to activate is not indicative of a system malfunction. • The front and/or lateral air bags may inflate if the vehicle suffers a violent impact involving the underbody area, for example in case of violent impacts against steps, sidewalks, speed bumps, or when the vehicle falls into potholes, or similar. WARNING! • Never place objects (e.g. mobile phones, toys, folders, tablets, ecc..) on the passenger side of the dashboard since they could interfere with correct inflation of the passenger air bag and also cause serious injury to the occupants. • Do not place anything on or around the air bag covers or attempt to open them manually. You may damage the air bags and you could be injured because the air bags may no longer be functional. The protective covers for the air bag are designed to open only when the air bags are inflating. • Always drive with your hands on the steering wheel rim, so that the air bag can inflate freely if required. During the drive your back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened. • Do not apply stickers or other objects on the steering wheel, on the dashboard in the passenger’s side air bag area, on roof side trims or on the seats. • Do not travel with objects in your lap, in front of your chest or especially with a pipe, pencil or other objects in your mouth. In the event of a collision, the intervention of the air bag could result in serious injury. Before Starting When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam between the front and side of the seat's trim cover. Each air bag deploys independently; a left side impact deploys the left air bag only and a right side impact deploys the right air bag only. • EXTREME HAZARD! Do not place a rearward-facing infant seat onto the front seat in front of a not deactivated air bag (see warning plate on the dashboard and above and behind the sun visors). Deployment of the air bag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of the severity of the collision. 2 Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) Supplemental Air bags Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) protect the pelvis, chest and shoulder area of the occupants in the event of a side impact of medium/high severity. The SAB is marked with “AIRBAG” label sewn into the outboard side of the front seats. SABIC air bags are designed to protect the head of front and rear occupants in the event of a side impact, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface. Each air bag features inflated chambers placed adjacent to the head of each outboard occupant that reduce the potential for side-impact head injuries. The SABICS deploy downward, covering both windows on the impact side. WARNING! • Side air bags also need room to inflate. Do not rest your head, arms or elbows on the door, windows or the area in which the window bag is located to avoid possible injury during air bag inflation. Sit upright in the centre of the seating area. • Do not cover the front seatbacks (Continued) 65 Before Starting 2 (Continued) with clothes or covers. Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the side air bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could cause serious injury. • Do not add roof racks that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason. Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air bag The supplemental driver side knee air bag provides enhanced protection and works together with the driver advanced front air bag during a frontal impact. Air Bag Deployment Sensors and Controls Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines if deployment of the front air bags and/or side air bags in a frontal or side collision or rollover event is required. Based on the impact sensor's signals, a central electronic ORC deploys the advanced front air bags, SABIC and SAB air bags, and 66 front seat belt pretensioners, as required, depending on the severity and type of impact. On top of what previously described, the characteristics of the collision registered by the sensors and sent to the control unit of the ORC can also cause a sudden cut of the power from the battery, “blowing” the pyrotechnical charge located on the positive battery terminal. CAUTION! After a collision that has caused the ignition of the pyrotechnical charge, this must be replaced at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Advanced front air bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on the severity and type of collision. Advanced front air bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions. The advanced front air bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including those that may produce substantial vehicle damage, for example, some pole collisions, truck under rides, and corner impacts. On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, advanced front air bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severe initial deceleration. The side air bags will not deploy in all side collisions. Side air bag deployment will depend on the severity and type of collision. Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage merely are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed. Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all accidents, and also are needed to help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag. The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system whenever the ignition switch is in the RUN position. If the ignition switch is in the OFF position, in the ACC position, or not active, the air bag system is not activated and the air bags will not inflate. The ORC contains a backup power supply system that may deploy the air bags even if the battery has low power or it becomes disconnected prior to deployment. When starting the vehicle, ORC turns on the air bag warning light on the instrument Before Starting cluster for approximately 4 to 8 seconds for a test. After the test, the air bag warning light will turn off. If the ORC, during the diagnosis phase detects a malfunction that could affect the air bag system, it turns on the air bag warning light and the “Service Airbag System” message either momentarily or continuously. The diagnostics also record the nature of the malfunction. A beep will sound if the light illuminates again after initial startup. The air bag warning light monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring associated with air bag system electrical components. WARNING! • If the ignition switch is in RUN position, the engine is off and the vehicle is in complete stop, the air bags can be deployed in case of collision. For this reason, children must never occupy the front seat in a rearward facing seat even if the car is not moving. Deployment of the air bag following an impact could cause fatal injuries to the child. Please note that when the ignition switch is in the OFF or ACC position or is turned off, the air bag will not deploy in case of collision. Therefore, in these cases, lack of air bag deployment is not an indication of a system malfunction. quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the advanced front air bags. The steering wheel hub trim cover and the upper right side of the dashboard separate and fold out of the way as the air bags inflate to their full size. The air bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and front passenger. The advanced front air bag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sides of the air bag. In this way, the air bags do not interfere with your control of the vehicle. Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag Inflator Unit • Ignoring the air bag warning light and message in your instrument cluster could mean you won't have the air bags to protect you in the event of a collision. If the light does not come on as a bulb check when the ignition is first turned on, stays on after you start the engine, or if it comes on as you drive, have an Authorized Maserati Dealer service the air bag system immediately. The supplemental driver side knee air bag unit is located in the dashboard trim beneath the steering column. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the air bag, it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the supplemental driver side knee air bag. The trim cover separates and folds out of the way allowing the air bag to inflate to the full size. Front Air Bag Inflator Units Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units When the ORC detects a collision requiring the advanced front air bags, it signals the inflator units. A large 2 The ORC unit determines if a side collision requires the side air bags to inflate, based on the severity and type of collision. Based on the severity and 67 Before Starting 2 type of collision, the side air bag inflator on the crash side of the vehicle may be triggered, releasing a quantity of nontoxic gas. The inflating SAB exits through the seat seam into the space between the occupant and the door. The side air bag moves at a very high speed and with such a high force that it could injure you if you are not seated properly, or if items are positioned in the area where the side air bag inflates. This especially applies to children. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) Inflator Units During collisions where the impact is confined to a particular area of the side of the vehicle, the ORC may deploy the SABIC air bags, depending on the severity and type of collision. In these events, the ORC will deploy the SABIC only on the impact side of the vehicle. A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain air bag. The inflating side curtain air bag pushes the head/s of the occupant/s seating in the outside seats from the edge of the headliner out of the way and covers the window. The air bag inflates with enough force to possibly 68 injure you if you are not belted and seated properly, or if items are positioned in the area where the side curtain air bag inflates. This especially applies to children. The SABICs may also help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in certain rollover events (because equipped with rollover sensing). Front and Side Impact Sensors In front and side impacts, impact sensors can aid the ORC in determining appropriate response to impact events. Enhanced Accident Response System In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if the communication network and the power remains intact, depending on the nature of the accident, the ORC will determine whether the enhanced accident response system will have to perform the following functions: • cut off fuel to the engine; • turn hazard lights and interior lights on as long as the battery has power or until the ignition switch is turned off; • unlock the doors automatically; • disconnect the battery with a pyrotechnic charge. Air Bag Deployment Result The advanced front air bags are designed to deflate immediately after deployment. If you do have a collision which deploys the air bags, any or all of the following may occur: • The nylon air bag material may sometimes cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to the driver and front passenger as the air bags deploy and unfold. • As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-product of the process that generates the non-toxic gas used for air bag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If these particles settle on your clothing, follow the garment manufacturer's instructions for cleaning. Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you. Before Starting ENVIRONMENTAL! Air bag inflation releases a small amount of powder. This powder is not harmful to the environment. WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that which are know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle.

Have the air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and the front seat belt retractor assemblies replaced by a Maserati Service Center. Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) system serviced as well. • Have the air bag checked, serviced and replaced only by an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Air Bag System Maintenance WARNING! • Modifications to any part of the air bag system could cause it to fail; thus you could be injured if the air bag system is not there to protect you. Do not modify the components or wiring. Do not modify the front bumper, vehicle body structure, or add aftermarket side steps or running boards. • It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the air bag system without the necessary know-how. are made. Take your vehicle to an Authorized Maserati Dealer for any air bag system service. If your seat including your trim cover and cushion needs to be serviced in any way (including removal or loosening/tightening of seat attachment bolts), take the vehicle to an Authorized Maserati Dealer. 2 • Only Maserati manufacturer approved seat accessories may be used. If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer. • If the speedometer, Rev Counter, or any engine related gauges are not working, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. The air bags may not be ready to inflate for your protection. Promptly check the fuse block for blown fuses. To identify the air bag fuse see “Fuse Replacement” in section "Maintenance and Care". See an Authorized Maserati Dealer if the fuse is efficient. • Do not attempt to modify any part of your air bag system. The air bag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modifications 69 Before Starting Transport of persons with disability 2 If it is necessary to modify the advanced air bag system of your vehicle to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer. WARNING! • The advanced air bag system of your vehicle is not designed to protect adults with disabilities that require deactivation of the passenger or driver air bag. • If you or another occupant is an adult with a medical condition that requires air bag deactivation, please contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer. For further information on disabled driver or passengers see http://www.safercar.gov. • As long as the air bag is activated, persons with disabilities are advised not to travel in the front seat in order to avoid the risk of serious injuries or death, even in minor crashes. 70 Event Data Recorder (EDR) NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems have performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation. • how various systems in your vehicle were operating; • whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened; • how far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and • how fast the vehicle was traveling. These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to vehicle or the EDR. Before Starting Child Restraint Systems NOTE: A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle so ensure that the child restraint selected has a certification label applicable to FMVSS 213 in the U.S., or CMVSS 213 in Canada. Everyone in your vehicle must be buckled up all the time, including babies and children. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. Please be reminded that you can be prosecuted for ignoring this law. Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front. WARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a baby, can become a projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should always be in a proper restraint system suitable for the child’s size. There are different sizes and types of restraint systems for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always refer to the manual provided with child seat to ensure it is the proper type according the travelling child. Use the restraint system that is correct for your child. Infants and Child Restraints Safety experts recommend that children ride rearwardfacing in the vehicle until they are two years old or until they reach either the height or weight limit of their rear facing child seat. Two types of child restraint systems can be used rearward-facing: infant carriers and convertible child seats. The infant carrier is only used rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is recommended for children from birth until they reach the weight or height limit of the infant carrier. Convertible child seats can be used either rearward-facing or forward-facing in the vehicle. Convertible child seats often have a higher weight limit in the rearward-facing direction than infant carriers do, so they can be used rearward-facing by children who have outgrown their infant carrier but are still younger than at least two years old. Children should remain rearwardfacing until they reach the highest weight or height allowed by their child seat. Both types of child restraint systems are fixed to the car by the lap/shoulder belt or the LATCH child restraint anchor system. Refer to “Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)” in this section. 2 WARNING! • Never place a rear facing infant seat in front of an air bag. A deploying Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag can cause death or serious injury to a child 12 years or younger, including a child in a rearward facing infant seat. (Continued) 71 Before Starting (Continued) • Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat. 2 Older Children and Child Restraints Children who are two years old or who have outgrown their rear-facing child seat can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direction are for children who are over two years old or who have outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit of their rear-facing child seat. Children should remain in a forward-facing child seat with a harness for as long as possible, up to the highest weight or height allowed by the child seat. These child seats are also fixed to the car by the lap/shoulder belt or the LATCH child restraint anchorage system. Refer to “Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)” in this section. All children whose weight or height is above the forward-facing limit for the child seat should use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat 72 cushion while the back is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and belt-positioning booster seat are fixed to the car by the lap/shoulder belt. Children Too Large for Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat. • Make sure that the child is upright in the seat. • The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. • Check belt fit periodically. A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back. NOTE: For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEATCHECK. Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information: http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/ safedrivers/childsafety/index.htm WARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the restraint manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint. • A rearward-facing child restraint should only be used in a rear seat. A rearward-facing child restraint in the front seat may be struck by a deploying passenger air bag, which may cause severe or fatal injury to the infant. Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint • Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label Before Starting certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. Maserati also recommends that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it before you buy it. • The restraint system must be appropriate for your child’s weight and height. • Check the label on the restraint system for weight and height limits. • Carefully follow the instructions that come with the restraint system. • If installed improperly, it may not work when needed. • Fit the child into the seat according to the child restraint manufacturer’s directions. WARNING! When your child restraint system is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or accident, it could strike the occupants or seatbacks and cause serious personal injury. Installing Child Restraint Systems using the Vehicle Seat Belt equipped with ALR All the passenger seat belts are equipped with an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) to secure child protection through a Child Restraint System (CRS). These types of seat belts are designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around the child restraint seat avoiding to use a locking clip. The ALR will make a ratcheting noise if the entire belt is pulled out of the retractor in order to enable the belt to retract subsequently. For additional information on ALR, see “Using Seat Belt in Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) Mode” in “Occupants Restraint Systems” in this section. To install a Child Restraint System with ALR, pull enough of the belt out of the retractor leading it through the belt path of the protection device. Slide the latch into the buckle until it clicks, then remove the entire safety belt from the retractor in order to rewound. While rewinding a click will indicate the safety belt is now in Automatic Locking mode. Exert then a traction on the exceeded lap section of the belt in order to tighten it around the child restraint seat. All seat belts will loosen over time, it is therefore necessary to check them periodically and set them properly. Lower Anchors and Tether for Children (LATCH) 2 Your vehicle's rear outboard seats are all equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH. The LATCH system allows the child restraint systems to be fixed without using the vehicle's seat belts, instead fixing the child restraint system to the vehicle structure, using lower anchorages A and upper tether strap B. LATCH-Compatible child restraint systems are now available. You should never install LATCH child seats so that 73 Before Starting two seats share a common lower anchorage. If your child restraints are not LATCH-Compatible, install the restraints using the vehicle's seat belts. 2 NOTE: The top tether strap anchorage behind the central rear seat should be used to secure a child restraint system with the vehicle's seat belts. Installing a LATCH- Compatible Child Restraint System The lower LATCH anchorages are “U-shaped” metal rings located on the rear seat where the cushion meets the seatback just below the symbol shown in the picture, but are not visible. You will find them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces. To install a LATCH-Compatible child restraint seat proceed as follows. • Route the top tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchorage and the child restraint system passing it over the headrest. • Attach the hook of the top tether strap (provided with the child restraint system) to the anchor. • Secure the child seat to the “U-shaped” lower metal rings positioned on the rear seat. • Fix the top tether strap (provided with the child seat), to the anchor located in the panel between the rear seat back and the rear window. In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seat. 74 • Lift the plastic cover located behind the seat where you want to install the child restraint system. • Tighten the upper strap until you reach the tension level recommended by the restraint system manufacturer. Before Starting To install a child restraint system in the center seating position route the hook end of the tether strap between the seatback and adjustable headrest (with the headrest in the full up position) then attach the hook to the anchor located in the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window. the manufacturer must supply with the child restraint system. • An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap. NOTE: • Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap. • When using a LATCH-Compatible child restraint system, please ensure that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints are stowed and out of reach of children. NOTE: For any further details on installation and/or use of child restraint system, refer to the instructions provided with the child seat. WARNING! • A child seat should be fitted only when the car is stationary. Follow the instructions for assembly, disassembly and positioning that WARNING! • Improper installation of a child restraint system to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the child restraint manufacturer's directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint system. • Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle. 2 Important Safety Notice for Transporting Children • Install the child seat on the rear seat as this is the safest position in case of collisions. • Keep the instructions in the vehicle together with the documents and this owner’s manual. Do not use a child restraint system which does not contain instructions for use. • Every child has to use one child restraint system; never carry two children using only one child seat. • If using the vehicle seat belt, always check that the belt does not restrain the child's throat. • Firmly pull the seat belt to check that it is correctly buckled. • Never allow a child to seat improperly or to unbuckle the seat belt while driving. 75 Before Starting 2 76 • Never allow a child to wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arms or behind the back. • Never carry children on your lap, not even newborns. No one can restrain a child in the event of an accident. • In case of accident, replace the child seat with a new one. Transporting Pets Rear Parking Camera Air bags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thrown about and possibly injured, or injure a passenger during panic braking or in an accident. Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by vehicle seat belts. Your vehicle is equipped with a rear parking camera that allows you to see an image on the MTC+ screen of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever the shift lever is put into R (Reverse). When “Parkview Backup Camera Delay” mode is enabled, the rear view image shall be displayed for up to 10 seconds after shifting out of R (Reverse). When “Rearwiew Camera Delay” mode is enabled, the rear view image shall be displayed for up to 10 seconds after shifting out of R (Reverse). To assist the driver during maneuvers on dead-ends/roads and on intersections, the vehicle may be equipped with an optional surround view camera system. For more details on this option, see chapter "Surround View Camera System (optional)" in this section. The image will be displayed along with a caution note to “Check Entire Surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five seconds this note will disappear. The rear parking camera is located on the rear of the vehicle above the rear license plate. Before Starting The following table shows the approximate distances for each zone and color: Zone Distance to the rear of the vehicle Red 11 - 12 in (28 - 30 cm) Yellow 12 - 78 in (30 cm - 2 m) Green 78-157 in (2–4 m) or greater 2 When the shift lever is shifted out of R (Reverse), the rear camera mode is exited and the navigation or audio screen appears again. When displayed, dynamic grid lines (if the function is set to “MTC+ Settings”) will illustrate the width of the vehicle while a dashed center-line will indicate the center of the vehicle to assist with parking or aligning to a hitch/receiver. The dynamic grid lines will show separate zones in different color that will help indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle. 77 Before Starting NOTE: 2 WARNING! Drivers must be careful when reversing even when using the rear view camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before reversing. You are responsible for the safety of your surroundings and must continue to be careful while reversing. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. CAUTION! • To avoid vehicle damage, the rear camera should only be used as a parking aid, as the rear camera is unable to view every obstacle or object in your drive path. • To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be driven slowly when using the rear camera to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is seen. It is recommended that the driver looks frequently over his/her shoulder when using the rear camera. 78 If snow, ice, mud, or any other substance builds up on the camera lens, clean the lens, rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens. Surround View Camera System (optional) System components The system uses four cameras to monitor the area around the vehicle, placed on the front grid, under the side rearview mirrors and on the trunk lid, between the number plate lights. Before Starting which images to display according to 4 possible settings. Rear view and top view present under the images. The button will highlight and the type of setting will appear on each image. 2 Rear cross path view Front cross path view When the shift lever is shifted to R (Reverse) position, camera images will be automatically displayed on MTC+ display. Instead, when the shift lever is shifted to P (Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive) position, it is possible to activate/ deactivate the system by pressing “Surround Camera” softkey in “Controls” screen of MTC+ display. Once the “Surround Camera” screen is displayed, it is possible to choose Front view and top view In any shift lever condition, when “Surround View” screen is displayed, a pop-up message will appear in the upper part for 5 seconds. With gear in P (Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive), the upper right corner of the screen will show the “X” key: touch it to go back to the previous screen of MTC+ display, before entering in “Controls”. The deactivation of the rear visualization via “X” soft-key is not possible when the transmission is in R (Reverse) position. Choose the most suitable setting for the situation and the maneuver you are performing or going to perform, by touching the relevant button In the top view, the vehicle is represented as it is during the maneuver, therefore any open doors will be visible in the image (see example in the figure). To display also the dynamic lines of the trajectory you are setting, it is necessary to set this function by accessing the “Settings” menu on MTC+, at “Safety & Driving Assistant” item. Once this menu is displayed, it is also possible to set the function that delays the exit from this screen in special situations when the gear lever is in D (Drive), N (Neutral) and P (Park) position. For further information, see “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”. 79 Before Starting day or under good lighting conditions. Do not use and rely on the system under poor lighting conditions. 2 WARNING! Failure to follow the precautions below might result in serious injury or even death. • Drivers must be careful during maneuvers also when using the camera system with surround view. • Always check carefully the areas around your vehicle, before proceeding forward or backward. • Be sure to always check for any pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots. • The driver must use the utmost caution while using the system to avoid damage to property or personal injury. • The camera system with surround view is designed for use during the 80 • Distance lines and trajectory lines must be used only as a reference and only when vehicle is on a flat ground. The distance shown on MTC+ display must be interpreted as a reference and might be different from the distance actually present between the vehicle and any displayed objects. • Any obstacles present above the cameras cannot be detected. CAUTION! • To avoid vehicle damage, the camera system with surround view should only be used as a parking aid, as the cameras are unable to view every obstacle or object in your drive path. • To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be driven slowly when using the camera system with surround view, to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is seen. It is recommended that the driver looks frequently over his/her shoulder when using this system. NOTE: If snow, ice, mud, or any other substance builds up on the camera lens, clean the lens, rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens. WARNING!

Besides the use of the sensors available on the bumpers and of the rear parking camera, the vehicle may be equipped with surround view cameras (optional) to assist the driver during maneuvers on dead-ends/roads and on intersections. For more details on this option, see chapter "Surround View Camera System (optional)" in this section. Refer to “Park Assist System Usage Precautions” for limitations of this system and recommendations. Park Assist system will retain the last system state (enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is changed to the RUN position. Park Assist system can be active only when the shift lever is in R (Reverse) or D (Drive). If Park Assist is enabled at one of these shift lever positions, the system will remain active until the vehicle speed is increased to approximately 7.5 mph (12 km/h) or above. The system will become active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds less than approximately 6.2 mph (10 km/h). cm) from the front bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and orientation of the obstacle. Park Assist Sensors The four Park Assist sensors, located in the rear bumper, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is within the sensors' field of view. The sensors can detect obstacles up to approximately 78 in (200 cm) from the rear bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and orientation of the obstacle. The six Park Assist sensors, located in the front bumper, monitor the area in front of the vehicle that is within the sensors' field of view. The sensors can detect obstacles up to a distance of approximately 50 in (120 Park Assist Warning Messages Display The Park Assist Warning screen will only be displayed if “Sound + Display” is selected from the MTC+ System. Refer to “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. The Park Assist Warning screen is located on the instrument cluster display. It provides visual warnings to indicate the distance between the rear bumper and/or front bumper and the detected obstacle. The warning display will turn on indicating the system status (ready or off) when the vehicle is in R (Reverse) Before Starting one flashing red arc only, combined with a continuous sound. The following charts show the warning alert visualization when the system is detecting an obstacle. or in D (Drive) and an obstacle has been detected. The detection area in front of the vehicle is divided into two parts with four arcs while the two detection areas behind the car into five arcs. The system will indicate a detected obstacle by displaying arcs with fixed or flashing light and a characteristic sound according to the obstacle distance. The color indicates the distance and the arc indicates the position of the detected obstacle. The green color of the outer arc indicates the maximum distance, the amber color of the middle arcs indicates the medium distance, while the red color of the nearest arc indicates the minimum distance. 2 As the vehicle moves closer to the object, the instrument cluster will display the arc moving towards the vehicle and the sound tone will change from single to slow, to fast and to continuous. The vehicle is close to the obstacle when the instrument cluster displays 85 Before Starting Front Sensors - Warning Alerts 2 Front distance More than 50 in (120 cm) 50-40 in (120-101 cm) 40-24 in (100-61 cm) 23.6-12.2 in (60-31 cm) Less than 12 in (30 cm) Audible Alert None None Slow Fast Continuous Arc in left and right areas None 4th 3rd 2nd 1st (inner most) Light type None Solid Solid Flash Flash Arc color - Green Amber Amber Red Active Active Mute Mute Mute Radio sound Rear Sensors - Warning Alerts Rear distance More than 78 in (200 cm) 78-59.4 in (200-151 cm) 60-40 in (150-101 cm) 40-24 in (100-61 cm) 23.6-12.2 in (60-31 cm) Less than 12 in (30 cm) Audible Alert None Single Slow Slow Fast Continuous Arc in left and right areas None 5th 4th 3rd 2nd 1st (inner most) Light type None Solid Solid Solid Flash Flash – Green Amber Amber Amber Red Active Mute Mute Mute Mute Mute Arc color Radio sound NOTE: • Maserati reserves the right to change specifications without prior notification. • Park Assist will turn off the front park assist audible alert (chime) after approximately 4 seconds when an obstacle has been detected, the vehicle is stationary, and brake pedal is applied. 86 Before Starting Enabling and Disabling Park Assist By accessing the submenu “Safety & Driving Assistant” from MTC+ System, the “Park Assist” can be disabled (option “Off”). The available options regarding the warning alerts are: “Sound” or “Sound + Display”. Refer to “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. The front sensors can be enabled or disabled at any time by pressing the button on the front dome console. After pressing the button the instrument cluster will display the state of front parking sensors for approximately five seconds. The button LED will be on when the front sensors are disabled. The button LED will be off when the front sensors are enabled. If the button is pressed and the system requires service, the LED will blink momentarily, and then the LED will be on. When the shift lever is moved to R (Reverse) or to D (Drive) at a speed of 7 mph (11 km/h) or below and the system is disabled, the instrument cluster will display the “PARK ASSIST Off” message for 5 seconds until the shift lever remains in R (Reverse) or when the shift lever is moved in D (Drive). Service the Park Assist System In case of malfunction of the Park Assist system, the instrument cluster will actuate a single sound, once per ignition cycle. The instrument cluster will display a message when any of the rear or front sensor(s) are blocked by snow, mud, or ice and the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse) or D (Drive). The instrument cluster will display a message when any of the rear or front sensors are damaged and require service. When the shift lever is moved to R (Reverse) or D (Drive) and the system has detected a faulted condition, the instrument cluster will display the corresponding message for the time lapse the vehicle is in R (Reverse) or D (Drive) at speeds less than 7 mph (11 km/h). Under this condition Park Assist will not operate. See “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. If the instrument cluster displays a message prompting you to clean the sensors, make sure the outer surface and the underside of the rear bumper and/or front bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction and then cycle the ignition switch. If the message continues to appear contact the Authorized Maserati Dealer. 2 If a failure message is displayed on the instrument cluster, contact the Authorized Maserati Dealer. 87 Before Starting Cleaning the Park Assist Sensors 2 When cleaning the sensors, take special care not to scratch or damage them; therefore, do not use dry, rough or hard cloths. The sensors must be washed with clean water, possibly adding car shampoo. Should you need to repaint the bumper or in case of paint touch-ups in the sensor area, please contact exclusively the Authorized Maserati Dealer. Incorrect paint application could affect the parking sensors operation. Park Assist System Usage Precautions NOTE: • Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of Park Assist. • Objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc., must not be placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a sensor problem, causing the service Park Assist message to be displayed in the instrument cluster. 88 CAUTION! • Park Assist is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle, including small obstacles. Parking curbs might only be temporarily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close proximity. • The vehicle must be driven slowly when using Park Assist in order to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. When backing up, it is recommended that the driver looks over his/her shoulder when using Park Assist. WARNING! Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the Park Assist system. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before backing up. You are responsible for safety and must continue to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. Park Assist Volume The volume of the acoustic signal emitted by the front and rear parking sensors is set to the medium level. Three different levels of volume can be selected via the submenu “Safety & Driving Assistant” from the MTC+ System. Low level is useful in certain conditions when the parking sensor acoustic signal keeps coming on although there is no actual collision hazard. This may typically occur when driving in a queue or when the vehicle is overtaken by motorcycles or other vehicles on one or both sides in a queue of traffic. When you set the volume, only the parking sensor acoustic signal will be affected. The radio or any other devices connected to the vehicle sound system will not be affected. Refer to chapter “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. 3 – Understanding the Vehicle Interior Components . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 90 Front Power Seats . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 93 Driver Memory Seat . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 97 Rear Seats . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 99 Power Steering Wheel Adjustment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 101 Adjustable Pedals (if equipped) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 103 Rearview Mirrors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 103 Lights . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 106 Windshield Wipers and Washers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 118 Interior Features . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 121 Cargo Area . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 129 Power Sunroof with Sunshade . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 132 HomeLink (optional) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 134 Air Conditioning Distribution . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 138 89 Understanding the Vehicle Interior Components Dashboard Components 3 90 Understanding the Vehicle 8 Cover for cupholder and power socket compartment (some versions can have the compartment with cupholder and power socket visible, without access cover). 9 Central console covers with armrest function.

Rearview Mirrors External Mirrors External mirrors can be adjusted electrically and are equipped with anti-mist resistors operated by the air conditioning system (see “Air Conditioning Controls” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). The mirrors can be closed electrically and will yield in both directions in case of a collision. The external mirrors are electrochromic, which means, they automatically operate an anti-glare function by gradually shading as the light hitting the mirrors increases. The external rear-view electrochromic mirrors work in conjunction with the internal rear-view electrochromic mirror. 3 NOTE: • The mirrors can be adjusted electrically only with the ignition device in ACC and RUN position. • When the vehicle is started, the indicator light shown in the picture will momentarily illuminate in both outside rear-view mirrors to let the driver know that the BSA system is operational. For more details see (Continued) 103 Understanding the Vehicle the adjacent lane and get a partial overlap with the visible image on the inside rearview mirror. Power mirror preselected positions can be reset by operating the Memory Driver Seat device. Check “Driver Memory Seat” in this section for further information. (Continued) chapter “Blind Spot Assist” in section “Driving”. 3 The external of the rear-view mirror support is equipped with LEDs, lighting up when the turn signals and vehicle entry/exit lights are activated. When the surround view camera system is installed, at the external bottom side of the rear-view mirror is the side view camera (refer to “Surround View Camera System (optional)” in section “Before Starting”). Mirrors Positioning The power mirror controls are located on the driver's door trim panel. The power mirror controls consist of mirror select buttons and a four-way mirror control switch. 104 WARNING! Vehicles and other objects seen in the external side convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they really are. Relying too much on your passenger side convex mirror could cause you to collide with another vehicle or object. Use the inside mirror to judge the size or distance of a vehicle seen in the external side convex mirror. To adjust a rearview mirror, press either the L (left) or R (right) button to select the mirror that you want to adjust. The spin button will illuminate indicating the rearview mirror is activated and can be adjusted. Press the mirror control switch corresponding to the arrow indicating the direction of the desired movement. For optimal vision orientate the outside(s) mirror(s) in order to frame Tilt Side Mirrors In Reverse This feature provides automatic external rearview mirrors positioning, allowing the driver to view the ground area behind the front doors. The external mirrors will move slightly downward from the current position when the shift lever is shifted into reverse. The external mirrors will then return to the original position when Understanding the Vehicle the lever is shifted out of the reverse position. Each memory set of the driver's seat (see "Driver Memory Seat" chapter in section “Understanding the Vehicle”) corresponds to a mirror tilt position in reverse. CAUTION! Never retract or open the mirrors manually: it could damage the power mechanism. Internal Rearview Mirror NOTE: The mirrors tilt in reverse can be turned on and off using the MTC+ System, refer to “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”. Folding Mirrors The switch for the power folding mirrors is located between the power mirror switches. Press the switch once and the mirrors will fold in; press the switch a second time to reset the mirrors to the standard position. There is a way to make external mirrors automatically fold/unfold. • If the function is available, it need to be activated by MTC+ (refer to “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). • If the mirrors are automatically folded after the last lock action, then they will automatically unfold when the ignition device is set on ACC or RUN position. • If the mirrors were manually folded by the switch on the driver's door panel, before a lock action, they will need to be manually unfolded to reactivate the automatic function. The position of internal rearview mirror can be manually adjusted, and is endowed with an accidentprevention release system operating in the event of a collision. Internal rearview mirror is electrochromic: this glare function is automatically deactivated in reverse to ensure maximum visibility of obstacles. 3 105 Understanding the Vehicle Lights CAUTION!

(3) The lights are powered up for 8 minutes to preserve the charge of the battery. 107 Understanding the Vehicle Headlights On with Wipers 3 When this feature is active, the headlights will turn on approximately 10 seconds after activation of the wipers, if the lights switch is placed in the “AUTO” position. The headlights will additionally turn off by deactivation of the wipers if previously activated with this function. NOTE: The headlights with wipers feature may be turned on and off using the MTC+ System, refer to “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”. Headlights Time Delay This safety feature provides headlight illumination for up to 90 seconds (programmable) when leaving your vehicle in an unlit area. To activate the delay feature, place the ignition switch in the OFF or ACC position while the headlights are still on. Then turn off the headlights within 45 seconds. The delay interval begins when the lights switch is turned off (position “0”). If you turn the headlights or position lights on, or place the ignition switch in RUN, the system will cancel the delay. 108 If you turn the headlights off (“0” position) before the ignition, they will turn off in the normal mode. NOTE: • To activate this feature the lights must be turned off (“0” position) within 45 seconds of placing the ignition switch in the OFF or ACC position. • Once the delay feature is active, any additional shifting of the light switch will cancel the feature. • The headlight delay time is programmable using the MTC+ System, see “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”. • If the low beam bulbs/LEDs are active due to “Headlights On with Wiper”, then the headlamps delay feature will not be activated when the ignition switch is set in OFF position. Daytime Running Lights (DRL) The lighting system uses the same high or low intensity headlamps LED, respectively, for the DRL lights and front position lights. DRL lights will turn on when the twilight sensor is in “DAY” mode, the engine is running and the light switch is in or “AUTO” position. If a turn signal is activated, the DRL LED on the same side of the vehicle switches in position light function for the duration of the turn signal activation. Once the turn signal is deactivated, the DRL LED will light up again. NOTE: On Canadian vehicles DRL are always on. On USA vehicles, the DRL lights can be turned on and off using the MTC+ System, see “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. Bi-Xenon Headlight The gas-discharge (xenon) headlights operate with an electric arc saturated with Xenon gas under pressure, instead of the incandescent filament. The light produced is assuredly higher compared to traditional light bulbs, in terms of quality (brighter light) as well as of the span and positioning of the illuminated area. WARNING! If xenon headlamp replacement is Understanding the Vehicle necessary, contact the Authorized Maserati Dealer only: DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. “Full-LED” Headlight with Cornering Function These headlamps combine the cornering function to the “Full-LED” technology consisting of an additional LED module which turns on when two conditions occurs: the driver turns the steering wheel or the driver activates the turn indicator. The cornering function will illuminate the corner to enhance the visibility to the driver as long as speed will be lower than 25 mph (40 km/h). “Full-LED” Technology This technology creates headlights with a simpler construction and a more compact size compared to those equipped with traditional or Xenon light bulbs. Other advantages are: Automatic High Beam (for versions/markets, where provided) • a clearer light beam, with a cold white tonality that allows a better perception of the contrasts thus making the night vision more efficient and less tiring; • a longer duration equivalent at least to that of the vehicle; • a reduced current consumption. These features positively affect some vehicle management economy aspects by eliminating/reducing the light bulb replacements and help limit fuel consumption. The picture shows the increased brightness of the low beam of standard headlights (A) compared to those Full-LED (B). The Automatic High Beam headlight control system provides increased forward lighting at night by automating high beam control through the use of the forward-facing digital camera located behind the rear-view mirror, which is the same one used for example by the Lane Keeping Assist - LKA system on vehicles with ADAS systems. This camera detects the environmental luminosity, the headlamps of oncoming vehicles and the tail lamps of proceding vehicles in the front area. In these cases, the system automatically switches from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view. Futhermore, the digital camera is able to detect the urban areas and the inhabited centers and to turn off the high beams when driving near of one of them. The properly working for this feature (if all the other conditions are met) is ensured between 21.7 mph (35 km/h) and 155 mph (250 km/h). 3 109 Understanding the Vehicle 3 Activation Mode NOTE: To activate Automatic High Beam feature: • The function is enabled only if the brightness sensor detects the right lighting conditions and then switch the low beam on. • Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights of vehicles in the field of view will cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstructions on the windshield or camera lens will cause the system to function improperly. • Shift the multifunction lever onward . • Put the light switch in “AUTO” position. • Touch the “Controls” soft-key in the lower part of the MTC+ display. • Within 15 seconds, touch the "Auto High Beam Assist" soft-key to turn on the feature. Without ADAS 110 With ADAS • Within 15 seconds, touch the "Auto High Beam Assist" soft-key a second time to turn it off. After these steps, the green indicator on the upper right side of the TFT display comes on. Automatic High Beam Failure In the event of a failure on high beam system, the related amber warning light will light up on the TFT display. Take your vehicle to the nearest Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible avoiding to use this system. Understanding the Vehicle Fog Lights The rear fog lights switch is built into the lights switch. To activate the rear fog lights, turn the headlight switch to the low beam light or “AUTO” position. Press the lights switch to turn on the rear fog lights. 3 NOTE: The rear fog lights will NOT activate automatically when turning on the low beam or “AUTO” headlights if previously deactivated by turning the lights switch off. The rear fog lights will only turn on by operating the switch as previously described. Pressing again the lights switch will deactivate the rear fog lights. Turning the lights switch off (position “0”) will also deactivate the rear fog lights. A dedicated telltale in the instrument cluster illuminates when the rear fog lights are turned on. The left or right arrow on the speedometer and tachometer instrument cluster respectively, flashes to show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights. Multifunction Lever The multifunction lever controls the operation of the turn signals, headlight beam selection, overtaking lights and windshield wiper and washer. The multifunction lever is fitted on the left side of the steering column. Turn Signals Move the multifunction lever all the way up or down until the stop triggers. 111 Understanding the Vehicle High Beams and Flashing To switch on the high beams with the light switch in headlamp or “AUTO” position, shift the multifunction lever onward. The blue telltale will illuminate on the tachometer. You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the multifunction lever toward you. This will turn on the high beams headlights until the lever is released. 3 To activate lane change function, tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond the detent. The turn signals (right or left) will flash three times then automatically turn off. This function is useful when overtaking or changing lanes. NOTE: • If either light remains on and does not flash, or flashes at a fast rate, check for a defective outside light. If an indicator on the instrument cluster fails while moving the lever, then the turn indicator is probably defective. • A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the instrument cluster and a continuous chime will sound if the vehicle is driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn signal on. 112 By pulling the lever backward (toward the steering wheel) you switch off the high beams and switch on the low beams. Flashing occurs also with lights off (lights switch in position “0”) if the ignition switch is RUN position. CAUTION! The high beams can only be switched on manually by pushing the multifunction lever forward. WARNING! If the high beams are activated, they will turn on automatically every time the low beams are switched on either manually or automatically. We Understanding the Vehicle recommend therefore that you switch them off when they are no longer necessary and every time the twilight sensor deactivates the external lights. Automatic High Beams (if equipped) The Automatic High Beam headlight control system provides increased forward lighting at night by automating high beam control through the use of the forward digital camera mounted behind the rearview mirror, which is the same one used also by the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system. This camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically switches from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view. Furthermore, the digital camera is able to detect the urban areas and the inhabited centers and to turn off the high beams when driving near of one of them. The high beam can be turned back on if there are all the necessary conditions and if the vehicle speed exceed 21.7 mph (35 km/h). The “Auto Dim High Beam” feature can be turned on or off using the MTC+ System. Refer to “MTC+ Settings” in section "Dashboard Instruments and Controls" for further information. The function is enabled only if the brightness sensor detects the right lighting conditions. To activate this function: • Shift the multifunction lever onward . • Put the headlight switch in “AUTO” position. • Enable the “Automatic High Beam” function on MTC+. After these steps, the green indicator on the upper right side of the TFT display comes on. NOTE: Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights of vehicles in the field of view will cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstructions on the windshield or camera lens will cause the system to function improperly. 3 If the windshield or Automatic High Beam headlight control mirror is replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed to ensure proper performance. See your local Authorized Maserati Dealer. Interior Lights The interior and exterior approach lights turn on and off when entering/exiting the vehicle (see “Illuminated Entry/Exit” in section "Before Starting" for further information). The brightness of the lights can be manually adjusted with the regulator positioned beside the light switch. To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off automatically 10 minutes after the ignition switch has been shifted to OFF. This occurs if the interior lights were turned on manually or by opening of a door. The glove box light, share the same 113 Understanding the Vehicle characteristics excepting the trunk light. To adjust interior lights, either turn the ignition switch out of OFF or rotate the multifunction lever out of “0” position. Courtesy Dimmable Lights 3 The following dimmable courtesy lights, can be set with the regulation device: Interior Lights Regulator (only with Bi-Xenon Headlights) NOTE: • The left regulator operates only with park lights or low beams lights on. • The right regulator adjusts the headlights leveling: see “Headlights Leveling” in this chapter. • instrument cluster dials and display; • dome light (front/rear); • inside door handle LED; • doors and steering wheel backlight controls LED; • front footrest light; • front seats night lighting. The regulation device rotates from position “0” upward and back 114 downward performing stable and dimmable positions. This regulator switch has 4 different positions: 0 (OFF) Stable position: lower level of the internal and night lighting. 1st Dimmable position: allows minimum to maximum brightness tuning of the instrument cluster dials, display, control switches and MTC’s backlight, including all displayed messages and night lighting. 2nd Stable position: allows maximum brightness set. 3rd Stable position: allows to switch on the main and reading lights of the front dome light. Understanding the Vehicle Interior Lights Regulators (only with Full-LED Headlights) 3rd Stable position: allows to switch on the main and reading lights of the front dome light. NOTE: The left regulator operates only with park lights or low beams lights on. The right regulator has 2 different positions: The regulation devices rotate from position “0” upward and back downward performing stable and dimmable positions. 0 (OFF) Stable position: night lighting off. 1st Dimmable position: allows minimum to maximum brightness tuning of the front dome light LED and the night lighting. The left regulator switch has 4 different positions: 0 (OFF) Stable position: lower level of the internal lighting. 1st Dimmable position: allows minimum to maximum brightness tuning of the instrument cluster dials, display, control switches and MTC’s backlight, including all displayed messages and night lighting. 2nd Stable position: allows maximum brightness set. NOTE: The right regulator is only active if the switch is in “AUTO” or in low beam mode . Headlights Leveling (only with Bi-Xenon Headlights) A correct headlights leveling is crucial for the safety of the vehicle’s occupants and of people in the street. Moreover it is included in the road regulation law. In order to obtain the best visibility conditions while driving with headlights on, the headlight beam must be properly leveled. Headlights leveling must be adjusted at every change of the weight and position of the passengers and/or of the load carried. A heavy load will weigh the vehicle down and, as a consequence, the light beam will be raised. In this case it is important to adjust the beam to a correct level using the right regulator located on the side of the light switch. 3 115 Understanding the Vehicle The regulator has 3 different positions: 3 0 One or two people on the front seats. 1 Four or five people in the vehicle. 2 Four or five people + load in the trunk. During the regulation, the different positions (0, 1 and 2) are visualized on the TFT display. switched on manually by pressing the central button. The reading lights are controlled by the respective side buttons. If they are turned on by pressing the button, both central and reading lights will stay on for about 10 minutes after turning the engine off, and will then turn off gradually. When the exterior lights are switched on, the two night LEDs fitted on the side of the power buttons on the overhead console will light up to facilitate the use of the transmission lever and the central console. If one or more doors are opened, the front and rear dome lights will turn on for 27 seconds. If the door is closed before this time, the lights will dim and subsequently switch off after about 3 seconds. NOTE: Dome Lights The front and rear part of the dome, include each a central and two reading lights. The central light automatically turns on when one of the doors is opened and turns off when the door is closed (timed switching off). The light may be 116 The dome lights will also turn on by pressing the or button for centralized doors unlock and lock on the key fob RKE transmitter. See “Illuminated Entry/Exit” section “Before Starting” for further information. In the event of a collision causing automatic interruption of fuel supply, the dome lights switch on automatically and remain lit for approx. 15 minutes. Understanding the Vehicle NOTE: The controls of the sunroof, of the HomeLink and the button to switch off Park Assist system can be found on the front dome console. Cargo Lights independent of the ignition device position. Press the button again to turn them off. When these lights are on, the direction indicators, the related arrow indicator on the instrument cluster and the button itself will flash. To illuminate the cargo area there are two lights inside the trunk compartment, one on each side. These lights turn on when trunk lid is opened and turn off when it is closed. on the hazard warning flashers will also activate these LEDs. 3 The external mirrors are equipped also with approach and courtesy LEDs, lighting up when the vehicle entry/exit lights are activated. NOTE: When the hazard warning lights are activated, the direction indicator controls are disabled. If trunk lid is left open for a long time, lights will turn off after 30 minutes to save battery charge. Hazard Warning Flashers Press the indicated button on the central console to turn on the hazard warning flashers. The operation is Integrated External Rearview Mirror Lights External mirrors are supplied with LED turn signals integrated on the support. The LED turn signal indicators flash simultaneously with the corresponding turn signal lights in the front and rear of the vehicle. Turning 117 Understanding the Vehicle Windshield Wipers and Washers 3 The multifunction lever operates the wipers and washers acting on the windshield when the ignition switch is placed in RUN or ACC position. The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the steering column. A low fluid level of windshield washers is indicated by the indicator light and by the message on the instrument cluster. To refill the fluid, see “Maintenance Procedures” in section “Maintenance and Care”. Windshield Wipers • Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of the four settings to activate the automatic intermittent 118 setting (see “Rain Sensing Wipers” paragraph in this chapter). • For low speed wiper operation (stable position "LO"): rotate the end of the multifunction control lever forward to the first trigger after the intermittent setting. • Rotate to the second trigger after the intermittent setting for high-speed (stable position HI) wiper operation. • Rotate the end of the lever downward to the “MIST” position to activate a single wipe cycle. • The wipers will continue to operate until you release the multifunction lever. • To turn the wipers off rotate the lever to “OFF”. CAUTION! • Turn the windshield wipers off when driving through an automatic car wash. The windshield wipers may be damaged if the wiper control is left in any position other than “OFF”. • In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to the park position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers freeze to the windshield, the wiper motor may be damaged when the vehicle is restarted. • Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades from returning to the off position. If the windshield wiper control is turned off and the blades cannot return to the off position, the wiper motor may be damaged. Rain Sensing Wipers This feature detects moisture on the windshield through an internal rearview mirror integrated sensor, which automatically activates the relative wipers. Understanding the Vehicle Rotate forward the end of the multifunction lever to one of four settings to adjust the detection system. First wiper delay position is the least sensitive, and fourth wiper delay position is the most sensitive. Third position should be used for normal rain conditions. The rain sense wipers will automatically change between an intermittent wipe, slow wipe and a fast wipe depending on the amount of detected moisture sensed by a particular area of the windshield. Place the wiper switch in the “OFF” position when you do not want to use the automatic intermittent system. The rain sensing feature can be turned on and off using the MTC+ System, see “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. CAUTION! • The rain sensing feature may not function properly by ice or dried salt water on the windshield. • Use on the windshield of RainX® or products containing wax or silicone may reduce rain sensor performance. The rain sensing system has protective features for the wiper blades and arms. It will not operate under the following conditions: • Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit: the rain sensing feature will not operate when the ignition is in RUN position, the vehicle is stationary and the outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C). To resume, set the automatic feature on the multifunction lever, start the engine and drive or wait until the outside temperature rises above freezing. • Wipe Inhibit with Transmission in Neutral Position: the rain sensing feature will not operate when the ignition is placed in the RUN position, the transmission shift lever is in the N (Neutral) position and the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h). To resume, set the multifunction lever to the automatic function or move the shift lever out of N (Neutral). Headlights On with Windshield Wipers When activating this function, the headlights will light up approximately 10 seconds after the wipers acting on the windshield are turned on if the light switch is placed in “AUTO” position. In addition, the headlights switch off when the wipers are turned off (position “OFF”) if they were previously turned by using this function. Powering on Headlights with wipers can be activated and deactivated with the MTC+ System, see “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. 3 Wiper Blade Maintenance When the wiper arms acting on the windshield are in the rest position it is not possible to check or replace the blades (Service position) as they are folded under the hood. To service the blades (see paragraph “Wiper Maintenance and Blades Replacement” in chapter “Maintenance Procedures” of section “Maintenance and Care”) it is necessary to shift the multifunction lever to “OFF” and the ignition switch to OFF position. Shift the control lever within 15 seconds to the “MIST” position (forward rotation of the end of the multifunction control lever) and release.

It indicates the vehicle speed. B Rev Counter. C TFT display. In this area the odometer display shows the total distance covered by the vehicle. U.S. Federal Regulations requires that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If your odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair technician should leave the odometer reading the same as it was before the repair or service. This repair should be performed by an Authorized Maserati Dealer. The odometer setting should be maintained following the repair or service. Keep a record of the odometer mileage before any repair or service to 142 ensure that the odometer is properly reset. Speedometer and Rev Counter display the main warning lights (see “Warning and Indicator Lights on Analog Instruments” in this chapter). The other warning and indicator lights are displayed on the TFT display together with mode and drive function indicators (see “TFT Display: Warning/Indicator Lights of Set Modes/Functions” in this chapter). NOTE: The image shows the instrument cluster before starting the engine. Warning and Indicator Lights on Analog Instruments Telltales on Speedometer The following telltales are displayed on the speedometer, and related messages are visible for 5 seconds on the central sector of the display, unless otherwise indicated (see “TFT Display” paragraph in this chapter). Dashboard Instruments and Controls Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of an onboard diagnostic system that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. Under normal conditions, this indicator light should switch on when the ignition switch is in RUN position and switch off soon after the engine is started (the MIL does not shut off immediately). This is a sign of the indicator light working properly. If the indicator remains lit or switches on while driving, there is a failure in the fuel supply/ignition and emission control systems. The failure could cause high exhaust emissions, loss of performance, poor vehicle handling and high consumption levels. Should this occur, proceed with caution to your Authorized Maserati Dealer without heavy throttle application or driving at high speeds. Obey all applicable local traffic regulations. The indicator light will go out if the problem is no longer present. The error will be registered by the system in any case. CAUTION! • When the ignition switch is in the RUN position and if the indicator light does not switch on or if it switches on while driving, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible. • Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause damage to the engine control system. It also could affect fuel economy and drivability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required. In addition, the OBDII system incorporates a diagnostic connector that can be interfaced using diagnostic equipment. This makes it possible to read the error codes stored in the control unit, together with a set of specific parameters for the engine operation diagnostic cycle, for compliance with CARB & EPA OBDII regulations. Left Turn Signal Indicator Light The indicator lights up when the left turn signals or the hazard flashers are turned on. The indicator light will flash at the same frequency of the turn signals and is controlled by the stalk switch lever. If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle drives for more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn signal on, a continuous sound will alert the driver to turn the signal off. If the indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective exterior light bulb. Tire Pressure Monitoring Light 4 This warning light is connected to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Under normal conditions, the warning light should illuminate when the ignition switch is in RUN and should go off once the engine is started. If the warning light remains lit or illuminates while driving, the pressure of one or more tires is too low and a message will be displayed. The TPMS malfunction warning light is connected to the low tire pressure monitoring light. When the system detects a malfunction, the monitoring light and the related message will flash for 143 Dashboard Instruments and Controls approximately one minute and then remain lit. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle startups as long as the malfunction lasts. When the malfunction warning lights up, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure correctly. Please refer to “Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in section “Driving” for further information. 4 Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Light This light, and its related message, indicate possible malfunctions of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The light will turn on when the ignition switch is in RUN position and may stay on for 4 seconds. If the ABS light remains lit or turns on while driving, the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and requires service. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the warning light is switched off. If the ABS light turns on while driving, or if it does not switch on when the ignition switch is in RUN position, please visit an Authorized Maserati 144 Dealer as soon as possible to restore the Anti-Lock brake function. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light The ESC activation/malfunction indicator light on the instrument cluster will display when the ignition switch is in RUN position. It should switch off by starting the engine. If the light stays on with the engine running, there is a malfunction in the ESC system. If the light still stays on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven for several miles at more than 30 mph (48 km/h) speed, visit an Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and serviced. and the road conditions that caused the ESC activation no longer persist. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light This indicator notifies that the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is disabled; the linked message will be displayed. Telltales on Tachometer Following telltales are displayed on the tachometer and related messages are visible for 5 seconds on the central sector of the display, unless otherwise indicated (see “TFT Display” in this chapter). NOTE: Each time the ignition switch is in RUN: • The ESC OFF indicator light and the ESC activation/malfunction indicator light illuminates temporarily. • When the ESC is functioning, the system will make buzzing or clicking sounds. This is normal. The sounds will stop once ESC becomes inactive Start&Stop Active Indicator This telltale indicates that the engine has been switched off automatically by the Start&Stop system. Dashboard Instruments and Controls When the engine starts again, the telltale will switch off. If the telltale during an automatic engine shutdown (AutoStop) phase starts flashing, it will be necessary to restart the engine normally with the ignition device while holding down the brake pedal. See chapter “Normal Starting of the Engine” in section “Driving” for further information. Rear Fog Light Indicator This indicator lights up when the rear fog lights are switched on. High Beam Indicator This indicator lights up when the high beams are switched on or when blinking. Brake Indicator Light This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level, brake pads wear and parking brake engagement. If the brake light illuminates the parking brake may be engaged, the brake pads have reached wear limit, the brake fluid level may be low or a problem with the anti-lock brake system (ABS) reservoir may have occurred. In all the above situations, a related message will be displayed. If the light still illuminates when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, there could be a brake hydraulic system malfunction or a problem with the brake booster detected by the ABS/ESC system. If this occurs, the light will remain lit until the problem has been solved. If the problem concerns the brake booster, the ABS master cylinder will run when engaging the brake and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop of the vehicle. Inefficiency of one of the dual brake system cycles is indicated by the brake indicator light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a certain level. The light will remain lit until the problem has been solved. If a brake failure occurs, visit an Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible in order to check up the brake system. In the event of an Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) failure, both the brake indicator light and the ABS light illuminate. Immediate repair of the ABS system is required. Functioning of the brake indicator light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from OFF to RUN position. The light should illuminate for approximately 2 seconds. The light should switch off unless the parking brake is engaged or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light system repaired by an Authorized Maserati Dealer. The light will also switch on when the parking brake is engaged with the ignition switch in RUN position. This light only indicates the brake is engaged but not the clamping force of the parking brake to the wheels. 4 WARNING! Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on can be very dangerous and is not recommended. Part of the brake system may have failed, resulting in increased braking distances and the risk of an accident. Have the vehicle 145 Dashboard Instruments and Controls (Continued) checked as soon as possible at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Air Bag Indicator Light 4 This light will illuminate for a few seconds for a bulb check when the ignition switch is in RUN.

In the latter case, the message will remain displayed: to hide it, press the button ◄ on the steering wheel right side. WARNING! If the warning light remains ON or if it does not illuminate or illuminates while driving, contact your Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible. Right Turn Signal Indicator This indicator lights up when the right turn signals or the hazard flashers are switched on. The indicator will flash at the same frequency of the turn signals and is controlled by the turn signal lever. If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle drives for more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn signal on, a continuous sound will advise the driver to turn the signal off. If the indicator flashes at a fast rate, check for a defective outside indicator light bulb. Seat Belt Reminder Light See “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) – Air bags” in section “Before Starting” for further information. 146 When the ignition switch is in RUN, the seat belt reminder light will light up for a few seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, you will hear an acoustic signal if one or both front seat belts are unbuckled. After the bulb check or while driving, if a seat belt is unbuckled, together with the acoustic signal the seat belt reminder light will light up and a message will indicate which belt is not fastened. WARNING! Maserati urges you to use the seat belts correctly fastened and adjusted at all times. Correct use of the seat belts can help reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. Do not pass seat belts over sharp edges: they could tear. Do not pin anything to the seat belts. This could reduce their initial strength and cause them to tear in the event of a crash.

MAX A/C By pressing the “MAX A/C” button/MTC+ softkey, the system automatically switches to get the maximum cold air flow. Dual Zone Climate Control Functions Air Conditioning (A/C) The “A/C” button allows to manually activate or deactivate the air conditioning system. When the air conditioning system is turned on, cool dehumidified air will flow through the vents into the cabin. For improved fuel economy, press the “A/C” button to turn off the air conditioning and manually adjust the blower and airflow mode settings. When the “A/C” and “AUTO” are switched off it is not possible to have air at a lower temperature than the outside. Recirculation and Air Quality Sensor (AQS) When outside air contains smoke, odours, or high humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired, you may wish to recirculate interior air by pressing the recirculation control button to activate the two different functionalities. The recirculation function, that allows to open/close the A/C air inlet by operating the relevant button on the climate control panel/MTC+ softkey, is integrated with the Air Quality Sensor. This sensor, positioned upstream of the A/C filter, in front of the air intake of the A/C system, detects the presence of polluting substances and submits an electric signal to the A/C control unit, that closes the intake of the external air by activating the air recirculation. The recirculation button/MTC+ softkey can therefore enable three operating modes, switchable in sequence. Starting from the outside air condition, in which the external air is aspirated by the A/C system and treated to be introduced into the passenger compartment, subsequent Dashboard Instruments and Controls maximum blower speed and the air distribution are also selected. The blower speed can be adjusted and the air distribution can be modified without exiting “MAX A/C”. To exit “MAX A/C” press the relevant softkey or exit A/C or recirculation. Selecting , “AUTO”, or “OFF”, will also exit “MAX A/C”. actuations of the button/MTC+ softkey change the state as follows. • First press: the A/C system activates the recirculation, the LED on the button/MTC+ softkey lights up. The A/C system will stay this way up to a new actuation, or until the increased humidity could lead to windshield fogging: in this case the recirculation automatically switches to external air. • Second press: the A/C system activates the automatic recirculation control by using the signal transmitted from the AQS. The symbol ‘’A’’ on the recirculation button/MTC+ softkey lights up. • Third press: the A/C system switches back to external air. The next press of the recirculation button/MTC+ softkey restars the operating cycle just described. NOTE: To avoid the risk of fogging, the AQS is disabled when the external temperature falls below 35 °F (2 °C). Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Automatic operation NOTE: • In cold weather, use of recirculation mode may lead to window fogging. In this case select the MIX mode and increase the blower speed to prevent fogging. MAX A/C When activating this function, the system switches to exit “AUTO”, enter “A/C” and recirculation. The minimum temperature (LO) in both zones, the 4 • Press the “AUTO” softkey on the A/C panel or the softkey button on the MTC+ screen. • Set the desired temperature adjusting the driver and/or passenger temperature hard or soft control buttons. Once the desired temperature is displayed, the system will achieve and automatically maintain that comfort level. • When the system is set up for your comfort level, it is not necessary to change the settings anymore, simply allow the system to function automatically. 197 Dashboard Instruments and Controls control. In this case the blower will operate at a fixed speed until any speed change is selected. This allows the front occupants to control the volume of air circulated in the vehicle and cancel the “AUTO” mode. The user can also select the direction of the airflow by selecting one of the available mode settings. A/C operation and recirculation control can also be manually selected. Operating Tips 4 • To provide you with maximum comfort in the Automatic mode, during cold start-ups the blower speed will remain low until the engine warms up. Manual operation The system allows manual selection of blower speed, air distribution mode, A/C status and recirculation control. The blower fan speed can be set to any fixed speed by using the blower 198 • Continuous use of the air recirculation in winter, in rainy weather or humid climate is not recommended because it may cause window fogging. • Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly removed by fast defrosting/defogging. The “Mix” mode can be used to maintain a clear windshield and provide sufficient heating. If side window fogging becomes a problem increase blower speed. NOTE: • Recirculation mode without A/C should not be used for long periods of time, as fogging may occur. • If inside the passenger compartment there are conditions of high temperature and humidity, when the A/C compressor is switched on (A/C softkey illuminated on MTC+ display or LED on climate control panel A/C button ON) there may be some cold steam at ventilation port outlet: this situation is normal and does not indicate air conditioning system malfunction. • Automatic Temperature Controls (ATC) will automatically adjust the climate control settings to prevent or eliminate window fogging on the front windshield. • Make sure the A/C system air intake grille, located under the bonnet directly in front of the windshield, is free of obstructions such as leaves or other objects. Leaves collected in the air intake may reduce airflow, and if they enter the plenum, they could plug the water drains. In winter make sure the air intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow. • The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or Metric units by selecting the “Units” customer programmable feature. See “MTC+ Settings” in this section. • Any time you store your vehicle or keep it stationary (i.e., during Dashboard Instruments and Controls vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes in the fresh air by high blower setting. This will ensure adequate system lubrication and minimize the possibility of compressor damage when the system is started again. Phone and Voice Controls on Steering Wheel The commands on the right side of the steering wheel activate/deactivate the phone mode ( ) and the Voice ) controls functions. Recognition ( A/C Filter The climate control system filters outside air containing dust, pollen and some odors. Strong odors cannot be totally removed by A/C filter at the entrance of the air climate system. See “Maintenance Procedures” in section “Maintenance and Care” for filter replacement instructions. These functions are only available when one or more Bluetooth® compatible mobile phones are paired with the MTC+ System connection: to pair a phone and to learn all available functions refer to the MTC+ guide. The voice command communication system is fully integrated with the vehicle's audio system. The volume can be adjusted from the upper knob on the central console (see “Infotainment System” in this section or from the steering wheel radio controls (see “Audio Controls” in this section). The system will automatically mute the radio when using the phone mode. When activating the phone mode using voice commands with speakerphone, you should talk quietly in a normal conversational tone by keeping the driving position and turning to the microphone of the voice command system located inside of the internal rear-view mirror. The ability of the system voice control to recognize the user's voice commands can be invalidated when speaking too quickly or too loudly. 4 NOTE: On the Maserati website, at www.maserati.com, or through an Authorized Maserati Dealer you may consult the list of telephones that are compatible with the MTC+, and their level of compatibility. WARNING! Any voice-controlled system should be used only in safe driving conditions following all applicable regulations. Full attention should be kept on driving. 199 Dashboard Instruments and Controls Phone Mode Voice Commands By using the phone button on the steering wheel it is possible to: activate the phone mode, start a call, show recent incoming and outgoing calls, show contacts list, etc. By using voice commands, after pressing the VR button on the steering wheel, it is possible to control the AM, FM radio, SiriusXM satellite radio and all devices connected and managed by the “Media” mode (i.e SD card, USB/iPod player).

It is dangerous to run the engine in an enclosed area. The engine consumes oxygen and discharges carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases in the atmosphere. 5 202 WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that which are know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passengervehicle When doors are opened, the instrument cluster displays the Maserati Logo in the center and the complete odometer plus the open doors indicator in the lower part of the cluster. Before starting the engine, close the doors, adjust your seat, the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt and instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. The shift lever must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting into any driving gear (see “Automatic Transmission” in this section). CAUTION! • Before starting the engine, switch off the electrical devices with a high power consumption (air-conditioning and heating system, heated rear window, headlights, etc.). • Do not start the engine if the fuel level in the tank is low. The keyless ignition allows the driver to operate the ignition switch by pushing the center button, as long as the key fob RKE transmitter is within the passenger compartment (check “Keys” in section “Before Starting” for further information). By pressing the brake pedal and pushing the START/STOP button the engine starts. Instrument cluster displays the initial sequence with indicator light and analog instruments test routine and switch-on of the engine temperature indicators and fuel level. This happens if option “On” was set in screen settings for display switch-on (see chapter “Instrument cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). Driving The current display subsequently sets up with the latest screenshot. If the engine fails to start, the starter will disengage automatically after 10 seconds. If you wish to stop the cranking of the engine prior to starting it, press the button again. NOTE: NOTE: Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or pressing the accelerator pedal. If the ignition switch is left in the ACC or RUN (engine not running) position and the transmission is in P (Park), the system will automatically time out after 30 minutes of inactivity and the ignition will switch to the OFF position. If the driver only pushes the START/STOP button but does not press the brake pedal, the ignition switch cycles to the ACC position (see “Keys” in section “Before Starting”) and the instrument cluster displays the latest screenshot. At the second press of the START/STOP button, the ignition device switches to RUN position (see “Keys” in section “Before Starting”) and the instrument cluster displays the latest screenshot. At the third press of the START/STOP button the ignition switch returns to OFF position and the display powers down. At the fourth press of the START/STOP button the screen will display the message that invites you to press the brake pedal and push the START/STOP button to start the engine. After starting the engine, the idle speed is controlled automatically and will decrease as the engine warms up. Engine Start Failure WARNING! • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way. 5 • If the vehicle battery is dead, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from a booster battery or the battery in another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly. See “Auxiliary Jump Start Procedure” in section “In an Emergency” for further information. 203 Driving Starting with a Cold Engine Start-off slowly, avoiding sudden acceleration and rev the engine up at low medium speeds. Highperformance driving should be avoided until the engine temperature reaches 149-158°F (65-70°C). Engine Turn-Off 5 • With the shift lever in P (Park), D (Drive) or R (Reverse) positions (see “Automatic Transmission” in this section) and vehicle standstill, press and release the START/STOP button to switch off the engine. A burst on the accelerator pedal before turning off the engine has no purpose and increases fuel consumption. • If the shift lever is in N (Neutral) and the START/STOP button is pressed once, the instrument cluster will display a “Vehicle Not in Park” message and the engine will remain running. WARNING! Never leave a vehicle out of the P (Park) position, as it could move. 204 NOTE: Automatic Start&Stop System If the ignition switch is left in the ACC or RUN (engine not running) position and the transmission is in P (Park), the system will automatically time out after 30 minutes of inactivity and the ignition will switch to OFF position. The Maserati Start&Stop system allows the engine to automatically switch off when the vehicle stops and to restart when the driver intends to drive. This feature helps reduce fuel consumption. During the “Stop (AutoStop)” phase the ignition is still on and all security features are available. In order for the Start&Stop to activate, the vehicle must be stationary and the brake pedal adequately pressed. Engine Turn Off when in Automatic Start&Stop When the engine has been turned off by the Start&Stop system, press and release the START/STOP button. The ignition switch will return to the OFF position and the vehicle is off. “Panic Stop” Strategy In panic conditions, if driver stops engine in any non-standard manner while driving at a speed over 2 mph (3 km/h), the “Panic Stop” strategy can manage the situation by checking gearchange condition upon engine cutting, driver’s action on brakes, road condition (flat or slope) so as to set gearchange to the most suitable condition. The “Panic Stop” strategy considers that the driver should stop the engine by pressing the ignition switch at least 3 times or holding it depressed for at least 2 seconds. NOTE: If the brake pedal is not sufficiently pressed the Start&Stop may not function even if the vehicle is stopped. When the Start&Stop switches off the engine, the related light illuminates on the instrument cluster. As soon as the brake pedal is released, the engine turns on. While the vehicle is stopped, the shift lever can be placed in P (Park). In this case it is possible to release the brake pedal and the vehicle will remain in “AutoStop” with engine off. Pressing the brake pedal and shifting gear into D (Drive) or R (Reverse) will Driving deactivate the “AutoStop” condition and restart the engine. Start&Stop Not Active For keeping driving safety, interior comfort and a correct functioning of engine and vehicle, the Start&Stop function does not activate under the following conditions: • When the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled (see example). Start&Stop Deactivated Start&Stop function is deactivated under the following conditions: • When SPORT drive mode is activated. • When (ESC OFF) drive mode is activated. • If it has been disabled through the main menu item “Start & Stop” via the controls on the right side of the steering wheel (see chapter “Instrument cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”) or via the MTC+ in the “Controls” page (see “MTC+ "Controls" Screen” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). • When the driver door is open. • When the fuel level is too low. • When the vehicle is stopped on a very steep road. • When the vehicle is stopped with steered wheels (over 135° of steering wheel angle for each part). • When the vehicle is manoeuvring: shift lever in R (Reverse). • When the temperature conditions inside the vehicle do not correspond to the air conditioning setting. • When the front and rear “defroster” function is activated. • When the engine coolant and the engine oil temperature are not on proper functioning level. • When the external temperature is too cold. • When the battery charge is below safety value. • When the previous stop had just happened (few seconds) and the minimum speed has not yet been achieved. • Shortly after R (Reverse) has been set or when driving under a certain speed level. • When the hood is open. • The sensors managing the Start&Stop have been damaged. • Start&Stop system faults are present. • When Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and/or Highway Assist (HAS) system are engaged. 5 Automatic Restarting of the Engine The engine may automatically restart, before the brake pedal has been released, when one of the following conditions occurs: • The SPORT drive mode or mode is being activated. drive 205 Driving 5 • If the Start&Stop function has been disabled through the main menu voice “Vehicle Settings” (see chapter “Instrument cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). • If shift lever is moved to R (Reverse). • If the steering wheel is moved to steer the wheels. • When the temperature conditions inside the vehicle do not correspond to the air conditioning setting. • When changing the temperature setting on the air conditioning. • When the defroster function is being activated. • When the battery charge is below safety value. • When the accelerator pedal is being pressed (together with the brake pedal). • If a long time has passed since the last automatic stop of the engine. Occupants Safety Function To enhance occupants safety, the Start&Stop system monitors if the driver is present and does not allow automatic restarting of the engine if one of the following maneuvers is being performed while in “AutoStop” condition: 206 • The driver unbuckles his/her seat belt and releases the brake pedal. • The driver opens the door and releases the brake pedal. • The driver unbuckles the seat belt and opens the door. • The driver opens the hood. All the above-mentioned conditions deactivate the Start&Stop function (the “AutoStart” is deactivated and the engine remains off) and the shift lever moves automatically in P (Park). The telltale will flash to indicate the Start&Stop function disabling. To restart the engine it is necessary to press the brake pedal and push the START/STOP button. Move the shift lever to D (Drive) to drive away. WARNING! • Even when the vehicle is stopped in the “Stop (AutoStop)” phase, the driver is responsible for the vehicle and the occupants and shall take care of what happens inside and outside the vehicle. • Even when the vehicle is stopped within the “Stop (AutoStop)” phase, the vehicle driver is responsible for the vehicle, the vehicle’s occupants and the vehicle’s surrounding area. Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running; doing so poses a risk of danger. It is a good practice to always ensure to set the parking brake and place the transmission gear selector lever into the P (Park) position, thereby ensuring the vehicle will not move, when performing any vehicle checks, maintenance and/or service procedures on the vehicle. Start&Stop Function Disabling Under certain driving conditions, when frequent stops and restarts of the engine may become annoying, it is possible to disable the Start & Stop function. Use the controls located on the right side of the steering wheel (see instructions in chapter “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”) and select “Start & Stop” main menu item which displays the status of the function: Start & Stop enabled is the default status. Hold the switch (►) to change the status of the function. When the Start&Stop function is disabled, in addition to the related message the amber indicator Driving Automatic Transmission indicated in the picture will turn on. With ADAS Another way to disable the Start & Stop is via the MTC+. • Touch the “Controls” soft-key on the lower part of MTC+ display. • Touch the “Start & Stop Off” soft-key to disable the function. • Touch a second time the same soft-key to re-enable the function. NOTE: The highlighted soft-key indicates the disabled status of Start & Stop system and vice versa. Start&Stop System Failure Without ADAS indicator light and the When the related message illuminate on the TFT display (see chapter “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”) there is a malfunction in the Start&Stop system and the engine cannot be switched off and restarted automatically. To switch off or restart the engine it is necessary to push the START/STOP. Have the vehicle checked at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. The electronic shift lever replaces the conventional mechanical lever and has no mechanical connection to the transmission. The transmission is operated by electrical actuators on the hydraulic system and all commands to the control system are transmitted by the CAN network. The lever itself represents a mere user interface. Gear positions are simulated by solenoids inside the lever body, which are computer-controlled and enable or disable certain positions of the lever. The solenoids inside the shift lever prevent the movement of the lever towards invalid positions. The electronically-controlled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. 5 CAUTION! In order to properly use the automatic transmission, it is essential that you read through the whole chapter, so that you can understand right from the start what the correct and permitted operations are. Damage to the transmission may occur (Continued) 207 Driving (Continued) if the following precautions are not observed: 5 • Shift into P (Park) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. This is the default position of the lever and should be used every time the ignition switch is cycled to OFF. • Shift into or out of R (Reverse) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed. • Do not shift between P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral) or D (Drive) when the engine is above idle speed • To effect any change from vehicle stop to R (Reverse), D (Drive), 1st or 2nd gear, it is necessary to keep the brake pedal fully depressed. is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the electronic parking brake, shift the transmission into P (Park), and turn the engine off. • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob and lock your vehicle. • Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle. This vehicle is equipped with a feature which requires the shift lever to be placed in P (Park) before the engine can be turned off. This prevents the driver from inadvertently leaving the vehicle without having placed the transmission in P (Park). This system also locks the shift lever in P (Park) whenever the ignition switch is in the OFF position. Automatic Transmission Lever WARNING! • It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and when your foot is firmly pressing on the brake pedal. • As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine 208 • N (Neutral); • D (Drive) automatic forward speed (8 speeds); • -/+ to downshift or upshift when manual mode in D (Drive) status, or set to M (Manual) mode (see “Drive Mode” in this section). Automatic transmission is operated by a selection lever with unlock button located on the central console. By using the selection lever it is possible to select the following positions, indicated on the top of the lever: the selected position will illuminate in white light. • P (Park); • R (Reverse); Transmission status is visible on the lever and on the lower part of the Instrument cluster display. Driving By pressing the release button on the lever, the gear position field is displayed: if you release the button without moving the lever, the field disappears after 2 seconds. By operating instead the lever, the new range will be indicated in the field and in the lower part of the display. position is indicated beside the lever status, on the lower part of the display. You must also press the brake pedal to shift the transmission out of P (Park) position. Shifting from D (Drive) to P (Park) or R (Reverse) should be done only after the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot pressed on the brake pedal when moving the shift lever between these gears. DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into another gear range. Automatic Transmission Range P (Park) If the vehicle is temporarily in the manual drive mode, D (Drive) status, or in M (Manual) drive mode, the gear In normal conditions, the shift lever is always unlocked. When in D (Drive) mode it is possible to upshift or downshift the changing gears by automatically temporarily setting in M (Manual) mode. Use this position to park the vehicle. The transmission can be shifted from P (Park) position only with the brake pedal pressed. To move the shift lever from P (Park) position to any other position, the engine must be switched on. The engine can be regularly started in P (Park) range. Never attempt to use P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion. When parking on a level surface, you may place the shift lever in the P (Park) position first, and then apply the electronic parking brake by pulling the trigger upwards. 5 209 Driving R (Reverse) WARNING! • Never use the P (Park) position as a substitute for the electronic parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to prevent vehicle movement and possible injury or damage. The Instrument cluster will display the related indicator light and the message for 5 seconds. CAUTION! • DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into another gear range, as this can damage the drivetrain. • The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the shift lever into the P (Park) position: 5 When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P (Park). For enhanced security, turn the front wheels toward the kerb on a downhill and away from the kerb on an uphill grade. 210 • Make sure the transmission is in P (Park) before leaving the vehicle. – when shifting into P (Park), press the unlock button on the shift lever and push the lever all the way forward until it stops. – with the brake pedal released, verify that P (Park) position is illuminated on the shift lever. This range is used to move the vehicle backward. We recommend to shift into R (Reverse) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Vehicle halted: switching between P (Park), R (Reverse) and D (Drive) requires pressing the unlock button on the lever and brake pedal: N (Neutral) is reached only by pressing the unlock button on the lever. • Vehicle moving: the driver can switch from R (Reverse) to N (Neutral), or vice versa, by pressing the unlock button on the shift lever. N (Neutral) • Vehicle halted and engine started: switching from N (Neutral) to R (Reverse), P (Park) and/or D (Drive) requires brake pedal and unlock button pressed. • Vehicle moving: switching from N (Neutral) to R (Reverse) and/or D (Drive) requires pressing the unlock button. Switching to R (Reverse) starting from N (Neutral) is only possible if the vehicle is moving backwards, while switching to D (Drive) starting from N (Neutral) is Driving only possible if the vehicle is moving forwards. Set the parking brake and shift the transmission into P (Park) if you must leave the vehicle. WARNING! Do not switch to N (Neutral) and/or never turn off the ignition to coast downhill. These are unsafe practices that limit driver’s response to changing traffic or road conditions. CAUTION! Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other reason with the transmission in N (Neutral) can result in transmission damage. Refer to “Towing a Disabled Vehicle” in section 6 for further information. D (Drive) This range should be used for most city and highway driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts and downshifts and the best fuel economy. The transmission automatically shifts up and down through all gears. The D (Drive) position provides optimum driving characteristics under all normal operating conditions of the vehicle. • Vehicle stationary: switching from D (Drive) to R (Reverse) and/or to P (Park) requires brake pedal and unlock button pressed: reaching N (Neutral) starting from D (Drive) is allowed by only pressing the unlock button on the shift lever. • To enable special operations while the car is moving at a low speed, such as getting out of marsh or snow, it is possible to run quickly from D (Drive) to R (Reverse), and vice versa, by pressing the reset button on the gear shift lever. • Vehicle moving: switching to N (Neutral) from D (Drive) requires the unlock button on the shift lever pressed. • From D (Drive) selected mode it is always possible to switch to M (Manual), by pressing the M (Manual) button: the Led indicator beside the button will light up; to return to D (Drive) position, the same action should be performed as the LED will turn off. • When in D (Drive) mode, moving the shift lever forward or backwards to the next step without pressing the unlock button on the lever will cause the system to enter a temporary function and enable the manual shift mode. This range is indicated with the symbols “-/+” on the left and right sides of the “D” letter on the gear range field of the display. The system will then switch back to automatic mode according to time elapsed in “temporary” mode and driving conditions. At extremely cold temperatures (-23°F/-30°C or below), transmission may be affected by the low temperature of the engine and transmission. Normal operation will resume once the transmission temperature has risen to a normal level. 5 Transmission Malfunction and Overheating Conditions Transmission Emergency Control Transmission function is electronically monitored to detect abnormal conditions. If a condition that could result in transmission damage is detected, Transmission Limp Home Mode will be activated. In this situation, the transmission may operate only in certain gears, or may not shift at all. In some situations, the transmission system may not 211 Driving re-engage if the engine is turned off and restarted. A message in the instrument cluster will inform the driver about the more serious transmission conditions, and indicate what actions may be necessary. Transmission Oil Overtemperature If the transmission oil temperature exceeds the operating limit, the red warning light illuminates on the instrument cluster. 5 In this case, slow down until temperature returns to normal level (the light will turn off). If this is not sufficient, we recommend to stop the vehicle, shift the lever to position P (Park) or N (Neutral) and keep the engine idle until the temperature red warning light turns off and the message disappears from the display. Resume 212 driving without demanding high engine performance. If the red warning light and the related message turns on again, it is advisable to stop the vehicle, turn off the engine and wait for the engine/transmission assembly to fully cool down. If the instrument cluster message indicates that the transmission may not re-engage after engine shutdown, perform the following procedure preferably at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. In the event of a momentary problem, the transmission can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the following steps. • Stop the vehicle. • Shift the transmission into P (Park), if possible. • Turn the engine off. • Wait approximately 30 seconds. • Restart the engine. • Shift the transmission into D (Drive) and then into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal operation. NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend that you visit an Authorized Maserati Dealer at your earliest possible convenience, which has diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could recur. Transmission Manual Release of P (Park) Position See chapter “Transmission Manual Release of P (Park) Position” in section “In an Emergency”. Driving All-Wheel Drive (AWD version only) The active on-demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system provides available optimum traction for a wide variety of road surface and driving conditions. The system minimizes wheel slip by automatically redirecting torque to the front and rear wheels as necessary. To maximise fuel economy, the AWD system automatically disangages torque distribution on front axle when road and environmental conditions are such that wheel slip is unlikely to occur. When specific road and environmental conditions require increased levels of road traction, the AWD system automatically distributes the torque between front and rear axle in order to grant the best driving experience. Torque distribution is displayed on the TFT in the “Drive Mode” main menu. Refer to paragraph “TFT Display: Menus and Settings” in chapter “Instrument Cluster” of section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. WARNING! There may be a slight delay for AWD engagement after a wheel slip condition occurs. . 5 NOTE: If the AWD system service warning light and message appears after engine start up, or during driving, it means that the AWD system is not functioning properly. If the warning light and message are often activated, it is recommended to have the vehicle serviced at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. 213 Driving Drive Mode Controls Preview Drive modes can be set using the buttons on central console. CAUTION! “Normal” is the default drive mode, optimized for the best balance between performance, fuel consumption and emissions in the standard conditions use of the car. 5 Buttons on the central console have following functions: (ESC OFF): to disable/reactivate the ESC system. • M (Manual): to switch from automatic to manual drive mode. • 214 • I.C.E: to activate/deactivate the drive mode to ensure increased control on slippery surfaces as well as higher energy efficiency. • SPORT: to activate/deactivate a sportier drive mode. In this mode, the vehicle has a faster throttle response and ESC sport calibration (not recommended on wet/slippery surfaces). Activating this drive mode, will also change the EPS setting. • (Suspension): to switch between the two Sport suspensions setting modes: Sport-Normal (S, LED light off) and Sport-Firm (H, LED light on) (for versions/markets where provided). Activating this drive mode, will also change the EPS setting. By selecting one of these drive modes, the LED beside the button illuminates and the vehicle configuration obtained is graphically displayed on instrument cluster. The same screen is also obtained when selecting the “Drive mode” menu using the buttons on steering wheel. When changing the drive mode between NORMAL, I.C.E., SPORT and (Suspensions), engine temperature and fuel level indicators inner edge will change color if “Outline Coloring” of submenu “Screen Setup” is set to “On” (see example in the figure). Refer to chapter “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. Setting the Drive Mode Drive modes can be set using the buttons on central console.

A Powertrain B ESC Monitoring Settings on Display C Suspension stiffness By gaining access to “Drive mode” menu through the buttons on steering wheel right-hand side, it is possible to monitor the settings for driving. The list and figure show vehicle parameters referred to each drive mode. Driving mode and its parameters are identified by a different color (example in the figure: I.C.E.). D Torque distribution (AWD version only) Press (Suspension) button, the icon with "S" beside will light up on the upper right side of the TFT display. The table below specifies the default setting for each drive mode. 220 Driving Drive Mode Default Condition ESC Normal Normal ESC I.C.E. Normal ESC 5 Sport Sport-Normal 221 Driving Drive Mode Default Condition ESC Sport Sport-Firm M (Manual) Drive Mode 5 222 In this mode, the transmission interacts with the driver in order to allow manual shift and increase driver interaction. The current mode allows the gear system to optimize the engine brake action, remove undesired shifting into higher and lower gears and improve the overall performance of the vehicle. This mode allows you to move the shift lever step by step forward (-) or backward (+) without pressing the unlock button. The current transmission gear is displayed on the instrument cluster beside “M”. Using the shift paddles behind the steering wheel (if equipped), the corresponding icon will be displayed beside the “M” indication and current shifted gear. Pull the right shift paddle (+) towards the steering wheel and release it to engage the higher gear; do the same operation with the left shift paddle (-) to engage the lower gear. Driving Manual mode can be activated at any time, with no need to release the brake pedal. Even if the release button is pressed and gear is shifted in R (Reverse), P (Park) or N (Neutral), the selected manual mode will be maintained. In Manual mode, the transmission will shift up or down (+/-) if manually selected by the driver by using the shift lever, or shift paddles on the steering wheel (if present). The transmission remains in the engaged gear until the driver shifts into another higher or lower gear, except in the following cases. • Lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to revert to automatic operation. The transmission will also upshift automatically once maximum engine speed is reached. • If in SPORT mode, the transmission will remain in the selected gear even when maximum engine speed is reached. The transmission will upshift only if enabled by the driver. Manual upshift or downshift will be maintained as long as SPORT mode is selected, even by full stroke pedal press. • If in M (Manual) or in SPORT mode, the transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows to halt (to prevent engine lagging) and the current gear will be displayed on the instrument cluster. Shifting the shift lever backward (+) or moving the right shift paddle (+) towards the steering wheel when stationary, will cause the vehicle to start in second gear. If the vehicle speed is too low, the system will ignore further upshifts. Avoid using speed control when the M (Manual) mode is engaged. The indicator beside the displayed gear will light up just before reaching the required speed to downshift or upshift (example in the figure). 5 Gear Shift Indicator Light In order to improve fuel economy, we recommend that you shift gears when the system prompts you to do so. This will help reduce fuel consumption without significantly affecting vehicle performance. When the new gear is engaged, the indicator turns off. If the shift runs late or is not performed at all, the indicator remains lit for a few seconds then turns off. As soon as new conditions requiring further gear 223 Driving change occur, the indicator light will illuminate again. NOTE: The gearshift indicator will only work when the transmission is set in M (Manual) mode. I.C.E. Mode excluding ESC 5 224 To release the vehicle in low grip conditions (e.g.: heaps of snow, mud, sand, etc), it is possible to shift the transmission feature in the specific mode as required for these situations, by pressing the I.C.E. button and to exclude completely the yaw and spinning control system, by pressing the button for two seconds (ESC OFF). Parking Brake The vehicle is equipped with an electric automatic parking brake, also called EPB (Electric Parking Brake). The EPB braking action on model with “Base” braking system (equipped with rear floating calliper) is ensured by a power actuator directly working on the brake pad inside each calliper of the rear brake system. All other modes with “Dual Cast” braking system are equipped with a dedicated calliper which acts on each rear brake disc. It can be automatically engaged when the engine is turned off and disengaged with engine running, driver seatbelt latched and driver door closed, while pressing the brake pedal and operating the shift lever. Furthermore, EPB can be automatically engaged above a slope threshold with the gearshift in P (Park) to avoid damage to the vehicle. EPB can be disengaged before turning off the vehicle. When the parking brake is applied, the warning light lights up on the tachometer display and the related message is displayed on the instrument cluster for 5 seconds (see “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). During engagement and disengagement procedures, the warning light flashes until the parking brake has reached its maximum activation force and is respectively fully released. In the above-mentioned conditions, the automatic engagement function can be deactivated/activated by selecting the menu item “Vehicle settings” on the main menu (refer to paragraph “Deactivating Automatic Operation” in this chapter). Manual Engagement/ Disengagement The parking brake can also be manually engaged or disengaged when the engine is running or the ignition switch is in the RUN position, Driving by pressing the brake pedal and raising the lever located behind the shift lever. When the parking brake is applied, the warning light lights up on the tachometer and the related message will be displayed for 5 seconds on the instrument cluster. If you attempt to engage/disengage the parking brake without having pressed the brake pedal, a message will be displayed, warning you to proceed. If the engine was turned off when the automatic engagement device was deactivated (see “Deactivating Automatic Operation” in this chapter) it is possible to shift the parking brake simply by pulling the lever upward within 3 minutes after turning off. CAUTION! The main function of the EPB is to allow safe parking of the vehicle, therefore it must only be applied when the vehicle is already stationary. If the EPB is used while the vehicle is moving and decelerating until a speed lower of 3 mph (5 km/h) and, in particular, until complete stop (typically in a sudden brake), it is necessary to have the EPB system checked by an Authorized Maserati Dealer. WARNING! • Always hold the brake pedal pressed during engagement or disengagement of the parking brake. • The EPB command activation while running generates a deceleration of the vehicle with strong deceleration (Dynamic Braking). It is therefore recommended to use this feature only in case of emergency. The stability of the car is guaranteed by the action of the activated ESC system. • It is advisable to keep the "Auto Apply" function always active (On) so that the vehicle is properly secured with electric parking brake. Deactivating Automatic Operation The automatic engagement function can be deactivated/reactivated by selecting the menu item “Vehicle settings” through the switch on the right side of the steering wheel (refer to “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”.) Press and release the switch toward the arrow (►) to select “Electric Park Brake”. 5 Press and release the switch once again toward the arrow (►) to visualize the options connected to this function. 225 Driving • Auto Apply On (recommended setting); • Auto Apply Off. “Setting Saved” Selection notification appears as a popup for 2 seconds then the display will show again the modified function. on the TFT display, please contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Failure Indication In the event of electric parking brake system failure, the warning light on the display will light up and the related message will show for 5 seconds. 5 226 Scroll with the switch toward the arrow ▲ or ▼ through the programmable options. Press and release the switch toward the arrow (►) to set the selected option. A check mark will remain next to the previously-selected item until a new selection is made. In order to disable the automatic operation follow the same procedures and select the other option. WARNING! In the event of an EPB failure, take your vehicle to the nearest Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as possible. CAUTION! • Under certain conditions when the battery voltage is low, the electric automatic parking brake system may temporarily be deactivated for safety reasons. Therefore, typically upon starting the engine, when the battery voltage drops, a message may temporarily be displayed, indicating that automatic operation is temporarily disabled. • In case of repetitive requests to reset the EPB through the messages shown Initialize the EPB System after Re-connecting the vehicle battery After the detachment and the subsequent connection of the battery, Driving on the instrument cluster display the warning light will be illuminated. To initialize the EPB system, lift, release and lift again the lever located behind the shift lever. Emergency Disengagement In case of brake lock with complete electrical system failure, it is necessary to force the electric actuator on the rear calipers (see “Emergency Release of the Parking Brake” chapter in section “In an Emergency”). EPB Operation with Overheated Brakes Driving on mountain roads with steep slopes or a sports use of the vehicle could overheat the brake system components. In these conditions, the parking brake must not be used since the push of the power actuator might not be sufficient to ensure vehicle braking, especially on a slope. Drive normally without braking to allow the brakes to cool down a few minutes before stopping. In this way, the automatic or manual activation of the parking brake will ensure vehicle braking. Parking Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking brake is fully applied and place the shift lever in the P (Park) position. WARNING! • Always check that the vehicle is locked before leaving it. • Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. • Do not park the vehicle on paper, grass, dry leaves or other flammable materials. • Do not leave the engine running while the vehicle is unattended. and away from the curb on an uphill grade. Apply the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P (Park), otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P (Park). In certain conditions, it is however advisable to disengage the parking brake manually and slightly apply the service brake for starting off. This is advisable when there are obstacles very close to the vehicle in the direction in which you intend to move. 5 CAUTION! When you need to park the vehicle on a steep slope, both with the engine on or off, it is recommended not only to engage the parking brake, but also to shift the gearshift lever to P (Park) before leaving the vehicle. When parking on hill roads, it is important to turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade 227 Driving “Drive Away Inhibit” strategy In order to avoid a dangerous condition resulting from leaving the vehicle not “braked” with running engine and without driver on board, 5 228 “Drive Away Inhibit” strategy alerts the driver with messages on the instrument cluster display and sounding chimes, then puts the transmission in P (Park). The table shows the vehicle condition and the action that the system runs to exit the dangerous condition. Vehicle condition Action of the driver • Engine running and speed lower than 1.8 mph (3 km/h). • Transmission in any position other P (Park). • Driver safety belt unlocked. • Driver door opened. • Brake pedal pressed. The driver releases the brake pedal to get out of the vehicle. Warnings Warnings • Slow continuous chime. • The condition of the vehicle not in P (Park) position will be signaled by a message on the display. • Fast chime. • A message which invites to engage the parking brake to prevent vehicle movement will be displayed on the display. The system puts the transmission in P (Park) position. Driving Brake and Stability Control System The vehicle is equipped with an Electronic Stability Control System (ESC), which helps to maintain directional control in the event of loss of grip of the tires. The system is able to detect potentially dangerous situations for the stability of the vehicle and automatically sets the brakes on all four wheels in a differentiated manner, in order to provide a torque settlement of the vehicle. ESC includes the following subsystems: • ABS (Anti-lock Braking System); • EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution); • TCS (Traction Control System); • BAS (Brake Assist System); • BTO (Brake Throttle Override); • HSA (Hill Start Assist). WARNING! • These systems cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from affecting the vehicle, nor can they increase traction, braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires. • These systems cannot prevent collisions, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or aquaplaning. • The capabilities of a vehicle equipped with these systems must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner that could jeopardise the driver’s and the passenger’s safety or the safety of others. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. The ESC corrects over steering and under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake to the appropriate wheel. Engine power may also be reduced to assist in counteracting the conditions of instability and maintain the right direction. The system is also able to reduce the engine power. Through sensors fitted on the vehicle, the ESC system detects the driver’s chosen direction comparing it to the one maintained while running. In case of discrepancy between the required trajectory and the current one, the ESC system brakes the appropriate wheel to counteract over or under steering. • Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more than appropriate for the steering wheel position. • Understeer - when the vehicle is turning less than appropriate for the steering wheel position. The ESC system has two available operating modes: ESC on This is the normal ESC operating mode. At each start-up of the vehicle, the ESC system is set in this mode and should be used for most driving conditions. The ESC should only be turned off for specific reasons as pointed out in the following paragraphs. 5 ESC off The “ESC off” mode is aimed for a more spirited driving experience but also purposeful for driving in deep snow, sand, or gravel. The current mode disables the TCS portion of the ESC and raises the threshold for ESC activation, allowing higher wheel spin than normally granted by the ESC system. The (ESC OFF) button is 229 Driving fitted beside the gear shift lever: to deactivate the system see “Drive Mode” in this section. 5 WARNING! In SPORT mode the ESC control thresholds are higher for maximum performance on dry road surface. To ensure maximum security of the ESC, it is recommended not to activate SPORT mode on surfaces with medium- and low-grip (e.g., wet, snow, dirt, etc..) with ESC system active ( (ESC OFF) button not pressed). NOTE: • When in “ESC off” mode, the TCS functionality of ESC is deactivated (except for the limited slip feature described in the TCS paragraph of this chapter). All other stability features of ESC function regularly. • To improve the vehicle's traction when driving with snow chains, or when starting off in deep snow, sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “ESC off” mode by pressing the (ESC OFF) button and remain in this operational mode no longer than needed. Once the 230 situation requiring “ESC off” mode is overcome, turn the ESC on again by pressing the (ESC OFF) button. This may also be performed while in motion. Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking to prevent wheel lock-up. The Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) prevents the rear wheels from over-braking and provides greater control of available braking forces applied to the rear axle. WARNING! The ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking, but it does not increase the physical grip limits between the tires and the road. Therefore, always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of yours and reduce your speed when entering a curve. NOTE: • When the vehicle's speed is higher than 7 mph (11 km/h), you may hear a slight clicking sound as well as other motor noises. The system is performing a self-check cycle to ensure that the ABS is working properly. • This self-check occurs each time the vehicle is started and accelerated past 7 mph (11 km/h). ABS is activated during braking under certain road or stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can include ice, snow, gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris. You may also experience the following when the brake system goes into AntiLock: • The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a short time after the vehicle stops). • The clicking sound of solenoid valves. • Brake pedal pulsations. • A slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end of the stop. These are all normal characteristics of ABS functioning. Driving WARNING! • The ABS contains sophisticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability. Installation of such equipment should be performed by qualified Maserati personnel. • Pumping the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness. Pumping brakes makes the stopping distance longer. Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or stop. Do not pump brakes. Traction Control System (TCS) The current device is an integral part of the ESC system. It operates automatically by reducing the power transmitted by the engine in case of slipping, loss of grip on wet floor (aquaplaning), acceleration on slippery snow-covered or frozen surfaces, etc. Activating under slip conditions different control systems: • if slippage affects both drive wheels, it reduces the power transmitted by the engine; • if slippage only affects one drive wheel, it brakes the slipping wheel automatically. Brake Assist System (BAS) This system completes the ABS system by optimizing the vehicle braking capacity during emergency brake maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressure to the brakes in order to help reduce braking distances. The quick brake coupling is optimal for BAS performances. In order to fully exploit the system, apply continuous brake pedal pressure during the entire vehicle stop sequence. Do not reduce brake pedal pressure earlier than required. Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated. Brake Throttle Override (BTO) To complete the range of systems that assist braking, the vehicle is equipped with BTO, which is designed to stop the vehicle even when it is being accelerated. If the brake pedal is depressed together with the accelerator, the system does not consider as “conflict” the sequence “brake-first-then-accelerator” of pedal application and it will not engage the BTO. When the system recognizes the sequence “accelerator-first-thenbrake-pressed” as “conflict” the engine power should be automatically reduced and, if the driver continues to depress the accelerator, the system can make the vehicle to come to a complete stop. Additionally, if the brake pedal is released when the accelerator is still depressed, the corresponding engine torque increase gradually to a safe value. During this event, the ETC light indicator will illuminate. The system exits from this strategy when the accelerator pedal is completely unstuck. 5 Hill Start Assist (HSA) The HSA system is designed to assist the driver when starting a vehicle uphill. HSA will maintain the level of brake pressure applied for a short period of time also after releasing the brake pedal. 231 Driving If the driver does not apply the throttle during this short period of time, the system will release brake pressure and the vehicle will start sloping down. The system will release brake pressure proportionally to the amount of throttle/torque applied as the vehicle starts to move in the chosen direction. Using the Brakes HSA Activation Criteria The pad wear limit is indicated by the illumination of the warning light and by a message on the instrument cluster. In this event, please contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer. The following criteria must be met in order for HSA to activate: 5 • vehicle is stationary; • gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear; vehicle backing uphill is in reverse gear). HSA will work in R (Reverse) and all forward gears when the activation criteria have been met. The system will not activate if the gear is placed in N (Neutral) or P (Park). CAUTION! To obtain a good performance by brake pads and discs, avoid sudden braking during the first 190 mi (300 km). Brake Pads and Brake Discs Wear on the brake pads and brake discs depends to a great extent on the driving style and the conditions of use and therefore cannot be expressed in actual miles driven on the road. The brake system is designed for optimal braking effect at all speeds and temperatures. Certain speeds, braking forces and ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, humidity and long outdoor stopping periods) can therefore cause the brakes to "squeal". This is normal and will cease after a few brakings. New Brake Pads and/or Brake Discs WARNING! Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident. Driving with your foot resting or riding on the brake pedal can result in 232 abnormally high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear, and possible brake damage. In an emergency full braking capacity may be impaired. New brake pads have to be “broken in”, and therefore only attain optimal friction to the brake disc when the vehicle has covered several hundreds of miles. During this break-in period, the slightly reduced braking ability must be compensated for by pressing the brake pedal harder. This applies Driving whenever the brake pads and/or brake discs are replaced. Brake Overheating Driving on mountain roads with steep slopes or a sports use of the vehicle could overheat the brake system components. In these conditions, the parking brake must not be used since the push of the power actuator might not be sufficient to ensure vehicle braking, especially on a slope. Drive normally without braking to allow the brakes to cool down a few minutes before stopping. The automatic or manual activation of the parking brake will ensure vehicle braking. Brake overheating could also cause “squeals”. Use of the Engine of the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of malfunction. Breaking-In Specific Requirements Today's most modern production methods are designed to provide extremely precise construction and assembly of components. However, moving parts do undergo a settling process, basically in the first hours of vehicle operation. Do not drive keeping at a constant high speed rate for a prolonged time. While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be avoided. The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades, see “Refillings” in section “Features and Specifications”. A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles/kilometers of operation. This should be considered as a normal part Avoid exceeding 5000 rpm for the first 620 mi trip (1000 km). After starting the vehicle, do not exceed 4000 rpm until the engine has warmed up sufficiently (coolant temperature: 149-158°F /65 70°). While Driving Never travel with the tachometer indicator approaching the peak rpm, not even downhill. When the tachometer indicator is approaching the peak rpm (red colored zone), take precautions to avoid exceeding that limit. 5 Ensure proper operation of different devices checking their respective control telltales. 233 Driving CAUTION! • Under normal conditions, all red warning lights on the instrument cluster display should be off. When they come on, this indicates a malfunction. Refer to “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”. • Continuing to drive when a red warning light is on could cause serious damage to the vehicle and affect its performance. 5 234 Authorized Maserati Dealer will use to service your vehicle. Although the vehicle will still be driveable and not need towing, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer for service as soon as possible. Onboard Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems. When these systems are operating properly, your vehicle will provide excellent performance and fuel economy, as well as engine emissions well within current local regulations of various countries. If any of these systems require service, the system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and other information, which your CAUTION! • Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on could cause further damage to the emissions control system. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability. The vehicle must be serviced before any emissions tests can be performed. • If the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is flashing while the engine is running, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. • After the problem has been solved, the Authorized Maserati Dealer personnel will perform specific tests for a complete check of the system and, if necessary, road tests. Driving Electronic Cruise Control The electronic Cruise Control (CC) enables the driver to maintain the desired vehicle speed without pressing the accelerator pedal, reducing driving fatigue on highways, especially long trips, as the set speed is automatically maintained. A firm press on the accelerator pedal or the braking pedal will temporarily deactivate the cruise control function. Controls The electronic Cruise Control controls are located on the left side of the steering wheel. Control configuration depends on which driver assist systems are installed to the vehicle. In the standard configuration there is a specific button to enable and disable the CC. Optional Configuration Control buttons have the following functions: CAUTION! The device can only be switched on at speeds exceeding 18 mph (30 km/h) and it switches off automatically when the brake pedal or the accelerator pedal is pressed. Standard Configuration ON/OFF button to engage/disengage CC system. Optional Configuration Standard Configuration WARNING! The Cruise Control function must only be activated when traffic and the route permit a constant speed to be maintained safely for a sufficiently long distance. 5 In the optional configuration, there is no specific button to enable and disable the CC, since the driver uses the ACC control buttons. Press ACC Gap button and hold it down for 2 seconds to enable the CC system. Press ACC button to disable the CC system. 235 Driving Shared by All Configurations Multifunction switch: • Press up (indication RES +): increase speed, set current speed or resume previously set speed when system is in “cancelled” status; • Pushed (indication CANC): deletes the set speed; • Press down (indication SET -): set speed/decrease speed. 5 236 NOTE: • The figures only show the Standard Configuration. • In order to ensure proper operation, the CC system has been designed to shut down if multiple systems are operated at the same time (example: ACC and FCW). When conditions so allow, the CC system can be reactivated by pushing the CC “ON/OFF” button or the ACC Gap button (in the Optional Configuration) and resetting the desired vehicle set speed. Displayed Information CC conditions are displayed on the instrument cluster after selecting “Driver Assist” menu (see paragraph “TFT Display: Menus and Settings" under “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). Displayed information depends on system status: ready, disabled, cancelled or set. Apart from the pop-up messages at the centre of the display, CC system status is represented by icons at the top left. These icons remain displayed even when you exit the "Driver Assist" screen. The CC screen can be displayed any time the driver changes system status or settings. After 5 seconds of CC inactivity, the display goes back to last screen. To turn the system off, push the ON/OFF button a second time or the ACC button (in the Optional Configuration). The white light will turn off. Activation To turn the system on, push the ON/OFF button or the ACC Gap button for 2 seconds (in the Optional Configuration). The white light with below 3 dashes on the instrument cluster display will illuminate. NOTE: The CC system must be turned off when not in use. Driving WARNING! Never leave the electronic Cruise Control system on when not in use. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. Always leave the system off when you are not using it. Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h) Minimum 18 (30) Engaged/activated 18 (30) Maximum 130 (210) Setting Desired Speed Turn on the CC function. When the vehicle has reached the desired speed (in the example: 60 mph), push downward the multifunction switch (SET -) and release. The green light below the desired speed will illuminate on the instrument cluster display. Release the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the selected speed. NOTE: The vehicle should be traveling at a steady speed and on level ground before pushing the switch downward. “ON/OFF” button or Pressing the the ACC Gap button for 2 seconds (in the Optional Configuration) or moving the ignition switch in OFF position erases the set speed memory. Changing Speed Setting When the CC is set, you can increase cruise speed by pushing upward the multifunction switch (RES +). Keeping the switch pressed, the set speed will continue to increase by 5 units at a time (5 mph or 5 km/h) until the switch is released. The new set speed will be visualized below the green light. To decrease speed, push downward the multifunction switch (SET -). Keeping the switch pushed in the downward position, the set speed will continue to decrease by 5 units at a time (5 mph or 5 km/h) until the switch is released. Release the switch when the desired speed is reached, and the new set speed will be visualized below the green light. Pushing the multifunction switch upward (RES +) or downward (SET -) once will enable to increase or decrease the set speed by one unit (1 mph or 1 km/h). Each subsequent tap of the multifunction switch will increase or decrease the speed by 1 mph or 1 km/h. 5 Temporary Deactivation A soft tap on the brake pedal, pressing the multifunction switch (CANC), or normal brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will temporarily deactivate the CC without erasing the set speed memory. The white light will appear on the display. 237 Driving below the set speed with steady light will be displayed. Resume Speed Driver Override 5 If the driver presses the accelerator pedal while the CC is on, such as to overtake another vehicle, and exceeds the set speed limit, the system will temporarily deactivate the CC. During the event, the speed indication below the green light will be blinking. When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed and the green light with 238 To resume a previously set speed, push upward the multifunction switch (RES +) and release. The green light with below the set speed will illuminate on the instrument cluster. Resume can be used at any speed above 18 mph (30 km/h). Using Electronic Cruise Control on Hills The transmission may be downshifted on hills to maintain the vehicle set speed. The CC system maintains set speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. On steep slopes, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so we recommend to drive without CC. WARNING! Electronic Cruise Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control and have an accident. Do not use electronic Cruise Control in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery roads. Driving Adaptive Cruise Control – ACC (optional) ADAS Equipments The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is part of ADAS equipments together with: on the front grille behind the trident, and the forward-facing camera behind the internal rear-view mirror to detect the presence of a vehicle ahead at a close distance and moving in the same direction. • Forward Collision Warning (FCW) • Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) • Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA) • Highway Assist (HAS) • Traffic Sign Assist (TSA). NOTE: FCW, LKA ABSA, HAS and TSA are described in the relevant chapters of this section. ACC Preview The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) further increases the drive comfort ensured by the Cruise Control when driving on highways and freeways. Always consider that ACC is not a safety system and is not designed to prevent accidents. The ACC allows driver to keep Cruise Control active in limited or moderate traffic conditions with no need to constantly restore the Cruise Control. The ACC uses a radar sensor, located This vehicle, in this chapter, will be indicated as "target vehicle" or "vehicle ahead". NOTE: • If the sensor detects no vehicle ahead, the ACC system will maintain set steady speed. • If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, the ACC system automatically kicks in by slightly accelerating or braking (to avoid exceeding the initially set speed) so that the vehicle keeps present distance, trying to adapt to the speed of the detected vehicle ahead. WARNING! • The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is designed to increase vehicle driving comfort. It must not be considered as a means of replacing the required attention of the driver. The driver is always required to drive carefully. The driver is always required to pay utmost attention to driving conditions (road, traffic, weather) and style (speed, distance from sensed vehicle ahead, brake use). Driver has the full responsibility of the vehicle therefore his attention is crucial to keeping vehicle control, in particular when approaching curves and situations with heavy traffic. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and death or serious personal injury. 5 • In some driving scenarios, the ACC could have detection problems. In such cases, the ACC could kick in late or unexpectedly. The driver must be careful since his/her intervention could be necessary. • It is always the driver’s responsibility to obey speed limits and to keep minimum legal distance to the preceding vehicle. (Continued) 239 Driving (Continued) • ACC system can decelerate only with limited braking, it cannot execute emergency braking. The ACC system: 5 • Does not activate/react in the presence of pedestrians, bicycles, incoming traffic from the opposite direction and steady objects such as a vehicle stuck in a traffic jam. • Is meant for the use on highways and well-built roads, not for city traffic or mountain roads. • May not have enough time to react and/or decelerate sufficiently on vehicles when lane is changed too quickly or the relative speed is too high. In such cases the driver has to react appropriately and without any acoustic/visual and warning. • Cannot consider road, traffic and weather conditions and might prove limited when visibility is poor. • Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions and this could cause an incorrect assessment of the required safety distance. It is recommended to disable the ACC system in the following instances: • When driving in the fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, slush, heavy traffic and 240 similar complex situations such as highway construction zones. • When entering a junction lane or a slip road to leave the highway; when driving on narrow, icy, snowy, slippery roads, or on steep uphill and downhill roads. • When circumstances do not allow to drive safely at constant speed. Displayed information Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) condition, as well as the LKA and HAS status, is displayed on instrument cluster after selecting “Driver Assist” menu (see paragraph “TFT Display: Menus and Settings" under “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). Displayed information depends on system status: ready, set, temporarily cancelled or override. Apart from the image at the center of the display, CC, ACC, LKA and HAS systems status is represented by icons at the top left and right. These icons remain displayed even when exiting the "Driver Assist" screen. The vehicle(s) and horizontal bars represent the ACC status as ready (white) or with sensed vehicle ahead (green); the white, grey or yellow lines represent the LKA and HAS systems. The ACC screen can be displayed any time driver changes system status or settings. After 5 seconds of ACC inactivity, the display goes back to last screen. ACC Controls and Activation Conditions The buttons on the RH side of the steering wheel control the ACC operations and the other functions/driver assist systems installed to this vehicle. Driving 1 Multifunction control shared by all driver assist functions/systems: • Press up (indication “RES +”): increase speed, set current speed or resume previously set speed when system is in “cancelled” status. • Pushed (indication “CANC”): cancel the function if it was in “set” status, going in a ready condition but remembering the previous set speed. • Press down (indication “SET -”): set speed/decrease speed. 2 Two functions button with ACC activated: • ACC Gap: pressed and released; set the distance to sensed vehicle ahead as horizontal bars (setting cycle starts to 3 bars). • CC On: pressed for 2 seconds activates the CC system. • Press it to switch from CC to ACC. 3 ACC ON/OFF button. If enabled, pressing this button will disable CC. 4 HAS ON/OFF button with ACC set only. See "Highway Assist - HAS" in this section for further details. NOTE: Any change made to tire dimensions affects performance of Adaptive Cruise Control and Front Collision Warning (FCW), if equipped. The ACC is not activated in the following conditions: • When braking. • When parking brake is activated. • When automatic transmission is in P (Park), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral). • When vehicle speed is out of preset speed range • When brakes are overheated. • When driver door is open. • When the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled. • When the road is particularly steep (both uphill and downhill) at low speed. • When drive mode (ESC OFF) is selected. • When the door is opened at low speed. • When there has been an ESC event in the last 5 seconds, or is still active. • When there is an object too close in front of the vehicle. It is possible that more than one system is active at the same time such as ACC and ABSA just to mention some. While activation of ACC and CC at the same time is impossible. Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h) Minimum 0 (0) Engaged/activated 18 (30) Maximum 130 (210) Activation/Deactivation NOTE: Pictures show status of ACC and LKA systems. 5 Press and release ON/OFF button to activate the ACC. The display will show the white symbol with below 3 dashes will illuminate indicating that system is ready to be set. 241 Driving faster than you want. Always leave the system off when you are not using it. Setting the Speed When in Driver Assist Page Push the ON/OFF button a second time and release to turn the system off. A pop-up message is displayed for 2 seconds to indicate that ACC was disabled. When the vehicle reaches the required speed, press down and release the multifunction control (SET -). The display will show set speed corresponding to vehicle current one. Speed value will be indicated below the green symbol and above the distance bars, in the center of the display. 5 Out of Driver Assist Page If a vehicle is detected as being too close, the display will show a message for 5 seconds and trigger a signal to warn the driver that current conditions do not allow enabling of the ACC. At any rate, system will remain in the ready status. 242 Remove foot from accelerator pedal and vehicle will continue at set speed. WARNING! Leaving the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system on when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally activate the system or cause it to go Driver Override If the driver accelerates beyond the set speed or faster than the car would do with ACC engaged, the set speed below the green light will blink and Driving the time gap bars will vanish to indicate that in this condition the system cannot control the distance between vehicle and sensed vehicle ahead. Vehicle speed will be determined only by the accelerator pedal position. Changing Speed Setting Once speed is set, driver can increase or decrease it by respectively pressing multifunction control up (RES +) or down (SET -). Speed can be increased or decreased in two ways: • Pressing control once, set speed will increase or decrease by one unit corresponding to 1 mph (1 km/h). • Hold the control to increase or decrease set speed by 5 mph (10 km/h) at a time. NOTE: • When pressing the multifunction control up (RES +) or down (SET -), the new set speed will be the current speed of the vehicle. • When using (SET -) control to decelerate, if the engine braking power does not slow down the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake system will automatically slow down the vehicle. • The ACC system applies the brake down to a full stop when following a target vehicle. If an ACC host vehicle follows a target vehicle to a standstill, after a two or three second delay, the system will not be able to resume driving the car autonomously. At this point it is necessary for the driver to manually reengage the system by either using the multifunction control (press SETor RES+) or by pressing the accelerator pedal (see “ACC Operation Before and During Stop” in this chapter). • The ACC system maintains set speed when driving up hill and down hill. However, a slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting may occur while climbing uphill or descending downhill. This is normal operation and necessary to maintain set speed. When driving uphill and downhill, the ACC system will cancel if the braking temperature exceeds normal range. Temporary Deactivation A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the multifunction control (CANC), or normal brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will temporarily deactivate the ACC without erasing the set speed memory. The white light will appear on the display with below the set speed. Conditions for Disabling and Deactivation Besides the cases specified in the previous paragraph, the following conditions will disable the system: • Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) kicks in. • Transmission lever is not in D (Drive). • The Electronic Stability Control and the Traction Control System (ESC/TCS) activate. • Vehicle parking brake is operated. • The driver safety belt is unbuckled at low speed. • The driver door is ajar at low speed. • The driver disabled the ESC using the (ESC OFF) button on central console. • The road is too steep both uphill and downhill at low speed. The system is deactivated and set speed is deleted from system memory, if the ACC ON/OFF button is pressed or if ignition device is turned to OFF. 5 243 Driving Resuming Speed If a speed setting is stored in system memory, press the multifunction control (RES +) up and take foot off the accelerator pedal. The last set speed will be displayed. 5 If system does not detect the presence of any vehicles ahead, only the bars referred to set distance will be displayed. When system detects the presence of a vehicle ahead, it is displayed in front of the bars (see example in the figure). WARNING! The resume function should be used only when road and traffic conditions allow it. Resuming a too high or too low speed for current traffic and road conditions could cause a harsh vehicle acceleration or deceleration which could increase the risk of collisions and death or serious injury. When in Driver Assist Page Setting the ACC Gap The specified ACC gap can be set by varying the distance setting among the four possible options identified by the number of horizontal bars: • Maximum (longest) distance: 4 bars. • Long distance: 3 bars (default distance). • Medium distance: 2 bars. • Short distance: 1 bar. Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the gap to the vehicle ahead. 244 Out of Driver Assist Page To increase or decrease the number of bars, corresponding to the gap from vehicle ahead, press and release the distance setting button. Each press and release of the button changes the gap starting from 3 bars (default distance) and moving in a sequential way towards the minimum distance: 3→2→1→4→3→2→1→4 and so on. If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will maintain the set speed. If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the same lane, the system displays the target vehicle icon before the bars. From that moment, the system adjusts the vehicle speed automatically to maintain the distance setting, regardless of the set speed. The vehicle will then maintain the set distance until: • The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the set speed. Driving • The vehicle ahead moves out of the lane or view of the sensor. • The distance setting is changed. • The driver disables the system. The maximum braking applied by ACC is limited; however, the driver can always apply the brakes manually, if necessary. Obviously, any time the ACC system automatically operates the brakes, the brake lights will turn on as if the driver was braking. A Proximity Warning on display will alert the driver if ACC predicts that its maximum braking level is not sufficient to maintain the set distance. If this occurs, a visual alert will flash on the display and a chime will sound while ACC continues to apply its maximum braking capacity. NOTE: The displayed warning is a warning for the driver to take action and does not necessarily mean that the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system is applying the brakes autonomously. Overtake Aid When driving with ACC engaged and following a target vehicle, the system will provide an additional acceleration to assist in passing vehicles in front. This additional acceleration is triggered when the driver utilizes the left turn signal to start overtaking. In locations with left hand drive traffic, overtake aid is active only when passing on the left hand side of the target vehicle. When a vehicle goes from a location with left hand drive traffic to a location with right hand drive traffic, the ACC system will automatically detect traffic direction. In this condition, overtake aid is active only when passing on the right side of the target vehicle. This additional acceleration is triggered when the driver utilizes the right turn signal to start overtaking. In this condition the ACC system will no longer provide overtake aid on the left side until it determines that the vehicle has moved back to a location with left hand drive. ACC Operation Before and During Stop If an ACC host vehicle follows a target vehicle to a standstill, after two or three seconds the system will not be able to resume driving the car autonomously. In this condition, TFT displays an instruction message pop up for 5 seconds. When the ACC system brings the vehicle to a standstill while following a target vehicle, the brakes are released after two or three seconds after the stop and at the same time the system inserts the parking brake. When parking brake engages the ACC deactivates going to ready state. At this point the driver must reengage the system acting on the multifunction control (RES + or SET -) or alternatively on the accelerator pedal. While ACC with Stop is holding your vehicle at a standstill, if the driver unbuckles the seatbelt or opens the door, the ESC system will activate the EPB. During standstill, ACC system monitors the occupant detection signals: if the driver's seatbelt becomes unbuckled, 5 245 Driving the ACC system shall be cancelled when the EPB is applied. WARNING! When the ACC system is resumed, the driver must ensure that there are no pedestrians, vehicles or objects in the path of the vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and death or serious personal injury. Display Warnings and Maintenance of ACC and FCW Systems 5 246 Wipe Front Radar Sensor Warning This warning will display and a signal will indicate when conditions temporarily limit system performance due to sensor poor or failed signal reception. This most often occurs at times of poor visibility, such as in snow or heavy rain. The ACC and FCW systems may also become temporarily blinded due to obstructions, such as mud, dirt or ice on the radar sensor. In these cases, the system will be disabled. This message can sometimes be displayed while driving in highly reflective areas (i.e. tunnels with reflective tiles, or ice and snow). The ACC and FCW systems will recover operation after the vehicle has left these areas. Under rare conditions, when the radar is not tracking any vehicles or objects in its path this warning may temporarily occur. If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should examine the sensor. It may require cleaning or removal of an obstruction. The sensor is located in the center of the front grille, behind the Maserati trident. To keep the ACC System operating properly, it is important to note the following maintenance items: • Always keep the sensor clean. Carefully wipe the sensor lens with a soft cloth. Be cautious not to damage it. • Do not remove any screws from the sensor. Doing so could cause an ACC system malfunction or failure and require a sensor realignment. • If the sensor or front end of the vehicle is damaged due to a collision, see your authorized dealer for service. • Do not attach or install any accessories near the sensor, including transparent material or aftermarket grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC system failure or malfunction. When the condition that deactivated the system is no longer present, the system will return to the “Adaptive Cruise Control Off” state and will resume function by simply reactivating it. NOTE: If the radar sensor wipe warning message occurs frequently (e.g. more than once on every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other obstruction, have the radar sensor realigned at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Clean Front Windshield Warning This warning will display and a signal will indicate when conditions temporarily limit system performance due to failed signal reception. This most often occurs at times of poor visibility, such as in snow or heavy rain and fog. The ACC and FCW systems may also become temporarily blinded due to obstructions, such as mud, dirt, or ice on the windshield and fog on the inside of glass or when driving in bad weather. In these cases, the system will have degraded performance. The ACC and FCW systems will recover operation after the vehicle has left these areas. Under rare conditions, when the camera is not tracking any Driving vehicles or objects in its path this warning may temporarily occur. If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should examine the windshield and the camera. They may require cleaning or removal of an obstruction. When the condition that created limited functionality is no longer present, the ACC and FCW systems will return to full functionality. If the problem persists, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer. NOTE: If the windshield wiper warning message occurs frequently (e.g. more than once on every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other obstruction, have the windshield and forward-facing camera inspected at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Service ACC/FCW Warning If the ACC and FCW systems turn off, and the system displays a service warning, there may be an internal system fault or a temporary malfunction that limits functionality. Although the vehicle is still driveable under normal conditions, ACC and FCW will be temporarily unavailable. If this occurs, try activating ACC and FCW again later, following a key cycle. Precautions while Driving with ACC Offset Driving ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane that is offset from your direct line of travel, or a vehicle merging in from a side lane. There may not be sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead. The offset vehicle may move in and out of the line of travel, which can cause your vehicle to brake or accelerate unexpectedly. Turns and Bends When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the system may decrease the vehicle speed and acceleration for stability reasons, with no target vehicle detected. Once the vehicle is out of the curve the system will resume your original Set Speed. This is a part of normal ACC system functionality. Moreover, the radar sensor might detect a vehicle on a nearby lane or no longer detect the target vehicle. 5 247 Driving In the illustration shown, ACC has not yet detected the vehicle changing lane and it may not detect the vehicle until it is too late for the driver to take action. ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely in the lane. There may not be sufficient distance to the lane changing vehicle. Always be attentive and ready to apply the brakes if necessary. 5 Stationary Objects and Vehicles ACC does not react to stationary objects and stationary vehicles. For example, ACC will not react in situations where the vehicle you are following exits your lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped in your lane. Always be attentive and ready to apply the brakes if necessary. Using ACC on Hills When driving on steep hills, ACC may not detect a vehicle in your lane when the vehicle reaches the crest. Depending on the speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the steepness of the hills, ACC performance may be limited. Narrow Vehicles Some narrow vehicles (like motorcycles) traveling near the outer edges of the lane or edging into the lane are not detected until they have moved fully into the lane. There may not be sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead. Lane Changing ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely in the lane in which you are traveling. 248 Driving Radar Device - Compliance Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules (NF3-LRR4). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • this device may not cause harmful interference, and • this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any unauthorized modifications or changes to these devices could void the authority of the user to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Information This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 7.8 in (20 cm) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Forward Collision Warning – FCW (optional, with ACC only) Operation The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with braking action interacts with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), uses the same parts for sensing vehicle ahead (hereinafter “target vehicle”) as well as part of the warnings/messages on system condition and activation status. For further details, refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC” in this section. Full performance can be reached only when both the sensing parts have detected the object, the difference between full and reduced performance is not visible for the driver. The FCW provides audible and visual warnings when a potential collision is detected. Brake actuation and limited braking may also be applied depending on the specific scenario. 5 NOTE: FCW system is not intended for towing: this could lead the system to malfunctions and/or to late reaction. 249 Driving When the system determines a collision with the vehicle in front of you is no longer probable, the warning messages will be deactivated. 5 250 FCW monitors the information from the forward looking radar sensor as well as the Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision. When the system determines that a forward collision is probable, the driver will be provided with audible and visual warnings and may provide a warning brake actuation. If the driver does not take actuation based upon these progressive warnings, then the system will provide a limited level of active braking to help slow down the vehicle and mitigate the potential forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warnings by braking and the system determines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by braking but has not applied sufficient brake force, the system will compensate and provide additional brake force as required. NOTE: • Bad weather conditions, like heavy rain, snow, etc., can lead to reduced system performance. Under these conditions relevant objects will not be detected or detected late by the system. • FCW is designed to react in specific situations in typical traffic scenarios with objects in the same lane driving in the same direction, but under certain conditions it can also react on stationary objects in the same lane. It is not designed to react to oncoming traffic or crossing traffic. • The FCW alerts may be triggered to objects other than vehicles such as guard rails or sign posts based on the course prediction. This is expected and is a part of normal FCW activation and functionality. • It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To prevent such misuse of the system, after four Active Braking events within a key cycle, the Active Braking portion of FCW will be deactivated until the next key cycle. The limit of four events applies to the brake actuation too. • FCW will automatically deactivated when (ESC OFF) button is pressed (LED light up). WARNING! • Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor can FCW detect every type of potential collision. The driver has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death. The driver is always in charge to safely drive and to avoid critical situations, and not rely on the support of the FCW system. Driver has to keep in mind that the system and therefore its intervention is always subject to the prevailing physical limits. • Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended either to warn or to apply any brake aid/brake intervention in the event of collisions with pedestrians or bicycles. Driving Speed Range of Use NOTE: Speed mph (km/h) Minimum 0 (0) Engaged/activated 1.12 (1.8) Maximum 155 (250) When the speed is outside the specified limits, the system automatically disables without turning on the corresponding warning light on the instrument cluster. FCW Status The driver can adjust FCW sensitivity or enable/disable the brake actuation with the other emergency brakings by touching "Controls" soft-key on MTC+ display. The current setting is indicated beside to the "Forward Collision Warning" soft-key. If you want to change the setting, touch the soft-key on the side to enter FCW page. The FCW system setting is kept in memory from one key cycle to the next. Changing FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking Setting options are described in the following paragraph. When FCW status for some reason changes to off, the corresponding amber warning light on instrument cluster will light on. This warning light informs the driver that FCW is disabled. This warning light will light even when the activation of another driver assistance feature or drive mode (example: (ESC OFF)) disables the FCW. The default status of FCW Sensitivity is the “Medium” setting. When the active braking function (“Forward Collision Warning Active Braking”) setting is on, the system warns you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when you are farther away and it applies limited braking. This gives you the most reaction time to avoid a possible collision. Changing the sensitivity status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when you are much closer. This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” sensitivity setting, which allows for a more dynamic driving experience. “Medium” is the intermediate status between the two described above. 5 251 Driving providing limited autonomous braking or additional brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision. In this state the system disables the brake jerk. Limited Operation and Service Warning 5 NOTE: • The default values shall appear at every new ignition cycle: Sensitivity = “Medium” and Active Braking = on. • FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such as objects not in the path of the car, stationary objects that are far away, oncoming traffic, on cross traffic vehicles, or leading vehicles with the same or higher rate of speed. • The active braking (autonomous braking/braking aid) will not be provided in case of potential collision with static object such as guard rails, walls, etc..). • FCW will be disabled like ACC (refer to chapter “Adaptive Cruise Control ACC” in this section. Changing the active braking status to “Off” prevents the system from 252 The messages indicating on display the limited functionality or service at an Authorized Maserati Dealer required are the same as for the ACC system. For further details, refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control – ACC” in this section. Radar Device - Compliance Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules (NF3-LRR4). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • this device may not cause harmful interference, and • this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Driving Lane Keeping Assist - LKA (optional, with ACC only) This system was designed especially for highway or freeway driving, to reduce the risk that the vehicle, under particular circumstances, accidentally departs from the lane in use. When this happens, graphic instructions on instrument cluster display together with steering torque application and steering wheel vibration (depending on the distance to the line) warn the driver that the vehicle is going out of the lane initiates a steering maneuver to try to prevent the lane exit. To detect lane lines, the system uses the forward-facing camera behind the rear-view mirror, which is the same one used also by the lighting system to manage the automatic high beams. The logic core is in the front radar. LKA system remembers the condition it was in before turning off the vehicle. Refer to “MTC+ "Controls" Screen” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. NOTE: In case of wet road or raining conditions the function could be disabled by the system in order to minimize the risks. System response can be set to "Early", "Medium" (default mode) or "Late". System reaction force can be set to "Low", "Medium" (default mode) or "High". Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h) Minimum 37 (60) Engaged/activated 37 (60) Maximum 112 (180) Customized Settings LKA is configurable by the driver in order to maximize its efficiency based on the driver driving style and the expectation of the system, reducing at the same time the possible invasiveness. Entering "Controls" page on MTC+ display the driver can see the current setting beside the "Lane Keeping Assist" soft-key. Touching “Lane Keeping Assist” soft-key can disable or enable the system. Touching the soft-key on the side the driver can change the setting. Driver warnings can be only "Visual" or "Visual & Haptic" (default mode). Meanings of Settings • "Visual" only: the system will not request any steering torque/ vibration to correct the car trajectory. The system will only show on the TFT display when the vehicle is passing the lane. • "Visual & Haptic": the system will apply steering torque when lane departure is detected while showing at the same time the proper cluster indication, adding to this steering vibration when the departure is very imminent. When "Visual & Haptic" is selected and LKA is enabled then the following menu will be used by the system. 5 253 Driving • "LKA Sensitivity": it tunes the distance to the lane boundary where the system will start to apply steering torque. • "LKA Strength": it tunes the steering torque value to have a stronger or weaker trajectory correction/ deviation. 5 WARNING! In rare cases, Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) may make an inappropriate steering torque application. LKA may be interrupted at any time counter steering. Lack of attention may lead to serious injury or death. System Availability The ADAS systems (LKA, CC, ACC, FCW and HAS) help the driver while driving. These systems can be set and monitored simultaneously on the display, after opening “Driver Assist” menu (see paragraph “TFT Display: Menus and Settings” under “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). LKA is designed for an attentive driver; therefore the system is available only when his/her hands are on the steering 254 wheel or with hands off for only a limited amount of time. When the system is enabled it will trigger cluster warning in case at least one hand is not detected on the steering wheel. The torque application as well as the vibration are suppressed/inhibited in case of: high driver torque in the steering wheel, high lateral acceleration, hands not on the steering wheel detected for more than a certain time. High dynamic driving behaviors, driving on the lane boundary, or driving off course will prevent the function from working. FCW braking and stability system interventions (ESC, ABS) will also prevent the system from operating. Changing lanes results in system inhibition for a certain time. In addition, the driver must respect some road characteristics such as minimum-maximum width, lanes clearly defined by two lane boundaries and, only in limited cases and for a limited time, at least one lane boundary. NOTE: • In case of wet road or raining conditions the function could be disabled by the system in order to minimize the risks. • With lane boundaries it is mainly referred to painted lines, nevertheless the system in good conditions might properly recognize as valid lane boundaries also other types (for example road edges, curbs, etc..). Being this function used to prevent unintentional lane change/lane drift, it will be temporary suppressed/inhibited by a turn indicator activation, therefore, graphic warning, steering torque application and vibration will be terminated. In this condition in case of a vehicle detected by the Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system in the covered area on the proper side, there can be the transition from LKA to Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA) (if this latter is on and properly configured). Function Description and Operating Mode The intent of the function is to prevent the lane departure by warning the driver through indication on the cluster and, if set, applying steering torque and vibration. Whenever the system is enabled there will be graphic on the dedicated screen in the driver assist page and for the others it will be available in the left top corner of the Driving cluster screen. The graphic which intent is to represent at the glance the system knowledge of the lane in front of the car, the system suppression status and warning. For this reason, a simple colour code has been adopted for each line (of the two presented): • Both grey lines means system is enabled, not able to operate (suppression condition present or lane detection system not able to properly estimate the lane); • Left/right grey line: the lane detection system is not able to detect that specific lane boundary; • Yellow line: there is a steering torque intervention in progress that tries to prevent a departure on that side, in this situation the warning should increase the driver attention requiring him/her to properly handle the situation; • Yellow flashing line: the graphic is shown whenever the system detects a very imminent lane departure; torque and steering vibration can be added to this warning if configured by the customer. The white lines (one or both) indicates that the corresponding lane boundary is detected and the system is capable to intervene on it. An example of these screens can be found in the following figures: A: with only LKA system activated, steering torque in progress to correct the trajectory towards the lane center; B: with LKA and ACC systems activated, car is crossing the lane boundary, steering torque and vibration if configured are in progress when this graphic is shown. 5 When in Driver Assist Page 255 Driving rain, snow, wet roads, fog, direct sun on the camera, etc.). prevent/interrupt the system intervention. NOTE: • The presence of the hands on the steering wheel is detected by a logic combination of a capacitive sensor installed in the steering wheel and the measured applied torque at the steering column. This leads to a more robust hands detection when hands are actually on the steering wheel (at least one). • The sensors are not able to detect the presence of the hands on the steering wheel areas covered in wood, plastic bezels or carbon inserts (where present). 5 Out of Driver Assist The icons that represent the status of the ADAS systems remain displayed even when you exit the "Driver Assist" screen. System Limitations Because of physical limits, in order to properly operate, the system needs good visibility (it might not work or not properly operate in case of heavy 256 Sharp turns, slopes and change in slopes, poor lane boundaries, as well as construction areas and all the scenario described in this paragraph may challenge the system, therefore be always ready to prevent any unexpected behaviour of the car. Damaged front bumper, windshield replaced without proper technical intervention may also lead to system malfunction or system unavailability. Other conditions such as fault, but not explicitly indicated here may also WARNING! If the driver fails to adapt his/her driving style, Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) can neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override the laws of physics. It cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions. Active LKA is only an aid. Driver is always responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane. System in Fault When the LKA cannot properly operate due to a fault of its components or because the windshield in front of the forward facing camera is dirty, the amber light and/or the corresponding message will be displayed. Driving If message suggestion does not allow fixing the fault, avoid using the system and have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Radar Device - Compliance Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules (NF3-LRR4). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • this device may not cause harmful interference, and • this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any unauthorized modifications or changes to these devices could void the authority of the user to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Information This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 7.8 in (20 cm) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Blind Spot Assist (without ACC) BSA System Operation The Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect highway licensable vehicles (cars, buses, motorbikes, etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle. The example shown in the figure highlights the blind spots on either side of the vehicle when oncoming traffic is approaching from behind. 5 When the vehicle is started, the BSA warning light will momentarily illuminate in both outside rear view mirrors to let the driver know that the system is operational and on. The BSA system sensors operate when the 257 Driving vehicle is in any forward gear and enters standby mode when the transmission is in (P) Park. The BSA system monitors the detection zones on both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert the driver of vehicles in these areas. WARNING! • The BSA system does NOT alert the driver about rapidly approaching vehicles that are outside the detection zones. 5 The BSA detection zone shown in figure covers approximately one lane on both sides of the vehicle (approximately 11 ft or 3.3 m). The blind spot area extends from immediately behind the exterior rear-view mirrors up to about 23 ft (7 m) behind the rear bumper. • The BSA might alert the driver too late especially in case of rapidly approaching vehicles. WARNING! Risk of accident despite Blind Spot Assist (BSA). BSA does not detect/react to the following: • Overtaking vehicles close on the side, placing them in the blind spot area. As a result, BSA may neither give warnings nor intervene in such situations. 258 • Always pay attention to the traffic situation and maintain a safe distance at the side of the vehicle. NOTE: If your vehicle has experienced any damage in the area where the sensor is located, even if the fascia is not damaged, the sensor may have become misaligned. Take your vehicle at an Authorized Maserati Dealer to verify sensor alignment. Having a sensor that is misaligned will result in the BSA not operating to specification. The area on the rear bumper fascia where the radar sensors are located must remain free of snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the BSA system can function properly. Do not cover or block the area of the rear bumper fascia where the radar sensors are located with foreign objects (bumper stickers, spoilers, bicycle racks, etc.). The BSA system notifies the driver of vehicles or objects in the detection zones by illuminating the BSA warning light located in the outside mirrors in addition to sounding an audible (chime) alert and reducing the radio volume (if the radio is on). Refer to Driving “BSA and RCP Setting” in this chapter for further information. The BSA system monitors the detection zone from three different entry points (side, rear, overtaking traffic) while driving to see if an alert is necessary. The BSA system will issue an alert whenever a vehicle enters any one detection zone as outlined below. Entering from the Rear The alert will turn on when the vehicles that come up from behind your vehicle on either side and enter the rear detection zone with a relative speed of more than 27 mph (43 km/h). Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h) Minimum 6 (10) Engaged/activated 6 (10) Maximum – (–) Entering from the Side Overtaking Traffic Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes from either side of the vehicle. The figures show the vehicle approaching (A) and passing (O) another vehicle in the overtaking lane. If you pass another vehicle slowly, the vehicle remains in the blind spot for approximately 2 seconds, the BSA warning light in the outside mirror will illuminate after 1.5 seconds. If the difference in speed between the two vehicles is greater, the warning light will not illuminate. 5 Other Cases The BSA system is not designed to issue an alert on stationary objects such as guardrails, posts, walls, foliage heaps, berms, etc. However, occasionally the system may alert on such objects. This is normal operation and your vehicle does not require service. 259 Driving • The BSA system is not designed to detect pedestrians, cyclists, or animals. • Even if your vehicle is equipped with the BSA system, always check your vehicle’s outside and rear-view mirrors for any vehicles approaching from behind or overtaking. • Use your turn signal before changing lanes. The BSA system will not alert you of objects that are traveling in the opposite direction of the vehicle in adjacent lanes. 5 WARNING! • The BSA system is only an aid to help detect vehicles in the blind spot zones. 260 RCP - Rear Cross Path The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended to aid the drivers when gear in reverse of parking spaces where their vision of oncoming vehicles may be blocked. The RCP system monitors the rear detection zones on both sides of the vehicle. Using sensors located on either side of the rear bumper, it detects any vehicles or objects that are moving toward the side of the vehicle with a minimum speed of approximately 1 to 2 mph (1 km/h to 3 km/h) to a maximum of approximately 10 mph (16 km/h), such as in parking lot situations. NOTE: In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles can be obscured by vehicles parked on either side. If the sensors are blocked by other structures or vehicles, the system will not be able to alert the driver. Proceed slowly and cautiously out of the parking space until the rear end of the vehicle is moderately exposed. The RCP system will then have a clear view of the cross traffic. If an oncoming vehicle is detected, the RCP system will alert the driver using both the visual and audible alarms. If the radio is on, it will also reduce the radio volume. WARNING! RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. More Driving specifically, it is intended to be used to help a driver detect an oncoming vehicle in a parking lot situation. Drivers must be careful when backing up, even when using RCP. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. BSA and RCP Setting Setting modes can be selected from the MTC+ System. Touch “Controls” soft-key and then “Blind Spot Assist” soft-key to enter the setting page. BSA in Visual Mode When operating in “Visual” mode, the BSA system will provide a visual alert in the appropriate side view mirror when it detects a vehicle or an object in the detection areas monitored by its sensors: depending on the status of the relative turn indicator, the warning light can be fixed or flashing. However, when the system is operating in RCP mode, it will respond with both visual and audible alerts when an oncoming vehicle or an object approaching the rear end side of the vehicle is detected. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio is muted (if the radio is on). BSA in Visual and Acoustic Mode Refer to chapter “MTC+ “Controls” Screen” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. When operating in “Visual & Acoustic” mode, the BSA system will provide a visual alert in the appropriate side view mirror based on a detected vehicle or object. If the turn signal is then activated, and it corresponds to an alert present on that side of the vehicle, an audible chime will also be sounded: in the same moment the warning light will start flashing. Whenever a turn signal and detected vehicle or object are present on the same side at the same time, both the visual and audio alerts will be issued. In addition to the audible alert, the radio volume will be reduced (if the radio is on). NOTE: If the hazard flashers are on, the BSA system will issue the appropriate visual alert only. 5 When the system is in RCP mode, the system shall respond with both visual and audible alerts when a detected vehicle or object is present. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio (if on) is also muted. Right/left turn/hazard signal status is ignored; the RCP status always requests the chime. Blind Spot Assist Off When this function is turned off from the MTC+, there will be no visual or 261 Driving Active Blind Spot Assist ABSA (optional, with ACC only) audible alerts from either the BSA or RCP subsystems. NOTE: The BSA system will store the current operating mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the vehicle is started, the previously-stored mode will be recalled and used. System Temporarily Unavailable 5 The blind spot system will become temporarily unavailable and the instrument cluster display will show the message “Blind Spot Assist Temporarily Unavailable” when the vehicle enters a radio quite zone (example the areas around radio telescopes). The warning light on the outside rear-view mirrors will be lit up and stay lit until the vehicle exits the zone. System is Faulty The BSA system cannot properly operate due to a fault of its components, or because the area on the rear bumper fascia where the radar sensors are located is dirty. In these cases the amber warning light and the related message will be displayed on the instrument cluster. 262 In these cases avoid using the system and have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Radar Device - Compliance Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules (OAY-SRR3B). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • this device may not cause harmful interference, and • this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. ABSA system is only available on vehicles equipped with ACC system and represents an addition to the BSA previously described (see chapter "Blind Spot Assist - BSA" of this section). ABSA adds to the BSA the possibility in certain circumstances to avoid and or mitigate side collisions with vehicles proceeding in the adjacent lanes by changing the car trajectory in order to try to keep it inside the detected/ estimated lane. A steering wheel vibration is used as further feedback to warn the driver that the lane change is not safe. The main logic core is the front radar, whereas the sense inputs are the radars on the rear bumper fascia used for sensing the presence of vehicle in the blind spot areas and the forward facing camera placed behind the internal rear-view mirror that instead is used for lane detection and estimation. ABSA is designed to help the driver to avoid mitigate a collision. Torque and vibration application is however Driving available in the 37 - 112 mph (60 180 km/h) speed interval. All the speed thresholds related to the BSA remain still valid, since ABSA as mentioned is BSA extension. ABSA is intended as a “hands-on” function meaning that the driver is required to stay engaged in the driving all the time with his/her hands on the steering wheel, in case hands are not on the steering wheel for a certain time there cannot be any steering torque application vibration included. Highly dynamic behaviours, driving on the lane boundary, off course will prevent the function from working. FCW braking and stability system interventions (ESC, ABS) will also prevent the system from operating. Changing lane results in system inhibition for a certain time. In addition the road must respect some characteristics such as minimummaximum width, lane clearly defined by two lane boundaries and only in limited case for a limited time at least one. System Availability NOTE: ABSA is designed for an attentive driver therefore the system is available only when his/her hands are on the steering wheel or with hands off for a very limited amount of time. When the system is enabled, it will trigger cluster warning in case at least one hand is not detected on the steering wheel. The torque application as well as the vibration are suppressed/inhibited in case of: high driver torque in the steering wheel, high lateral acceleration, hands not on the steering wheel detected for more than a certain time. • In case of wet road or raining conditions the function could be disabled by the system in order to minimize the risks. • With lane boundaries it is mainly referred to painted lines, nevertheless the system in good conditions might properly recognise as valid lane boundaries also other types (for example road edges, curbs, etc..). Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h) Minimum 37 (60) Engaged/activated 37 (60) Maximum 112 (180) System Limitation Because of physical limits the system to properly operate needs good visibility (it might not work or not properly operate in case of heavy rain, snow, wet roads, fog, direct sun on the camera, dirty windshield, low illumination etc.) Sharp turns, slopes and change in slopes, poor lane boundaries, as well as construction areas and all the scenarios described in this paragraph may challenge the system, therefore be always ready to prevent any unexpected behaviour of the car. Damaged front bumper, windshield replaced without proper technical intervention may also lead to system malfunction or system unavailability. Other conditions such as faults, but not explicitly indicated here may also prevent/interrupt the system intervention. 5 263 Driving ABSA Setting ABSA is configurable by the customer in order to maximize its efficiency based on the driver driving style and his/her expectation of the system, reducing at the same time the possible invasiveness. Setting modes can be selected from the MTC+ System (see "MTC+ "Controls" Screen" in section "Dashboard Instruments and Controls" for further information). Touch "Controls" soft-key to display the current status of the ABSA system, if it was in the on state. 5 System reaction force can be set to "Low", "Medium" (default mode) or "High". NOTE: The ABSA system will store the current operating mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the vehicle is started, the previously-stored mode will be recalled and used. Meanings of Settings When "Visual & Haptic" is selected and of course ABSA is enabled, then two following menus will be used by the system. To change status, touch the "Active Blind Spot Assist" soft-key. To change the system setting, touch the soft-key on the side. Driver warnings can be only "Visual", "Visual & Acoustic" (default mode) or "Visual & Haptic". 264 • "ABSA Sensitivity": it tunes the distance to the lane boundary where the system will start to apply steering torque. • "ABSA Strength": it tunes the steering torque value to have a stronger or weaker trajectory correction/deviation. Blind Spot Assist in "Visual & Haptic" Mode When the system is on and configured “Visual & Haptic” then the ABSA is enabled and to the conventional visual warnings is added the steering torque and vibration. When operating in this mode, the system will provide a visual alert in the appropriate outside rear-view mirror when it detects a vehicle or an object in the detection areas monitored by its sensors. In case of turn indicator activation on the appropriate side, the system will react with a torque on the steering wheel to try to prevent the lane change and therefore to avoid/mitigate the collision. The torque on the steering is applied when the car is very close to the lane boundary as a further feedback to warn the driver of the unsafe maneuver. NOTE: • The steering torque is not supplied if the system is not able to estimate a lane and if the turn indicator from the appropriate side is not inserted. Driving • The presence of the hands on the steering wheel is detected by a logic combination of a capacitive sensor installed in the steering wheel and the measured applied torque at the steering column. This leads to a more robust hands detection. WARNING! • Risk of accident despite steering torque application of Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA). • A course-correcting steering torque application cannot always prevent a collision. • The driver is always required to steer, brake or accelerate themself, especially if ABSA warns or makes a course correcting steer intervention. • Always maintain a safe distance at the sides. • In rare cases, the system may make an inappropriate steering torque application. This application may be interrupted at any time by counter steering. • Lack of attention may lead to serious injury or death. RCP - Rear Cross Path Operation RCP operation is the same as described in chapter "Blind Spot Assist - BSA". When ABSA is turned off from MTC+ "Controls" page, there will be no visual or audible alerts from RCP subsystem. When ABSA is turned on with any setting,RCP subsystem shall respond with both visual and audible alerts when a detected vehicle or object is present. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio (if on) is also muted. Right/left turn/hazard signal status is ignored; the RCP status always requests the chime. System Faulty The ABSA system cannot properly operate either due to a fault of its components, or because the area on windshield where the forward-facing camera is located or on the rear bumper fascia where the radar sensors are located is dirty. In these cases the amber warning light and the related message will be displayed on the instrument cluster. 5 System Temporarily Unavailable The blind spot system will become temporarily unavailable and the instrument cluster display will show the message “Blind Spot Assist Temporarily Unavailable” when the vehicle enters a radio quite zone (example the areas around radio telescopes). The warning light on the outside rear-view mirrors will be lit up and stay lit until the vehicle exits the zone. In these cases avoid using the system and have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Radar Device - Compliance Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules (OAY-SRR3B). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 265 Driving • this device may not cause harmful interference, and • this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Highway Assist – HAS (optional, with ACC only) vibrate and a graphic will display on the instrument cluster. The Highway Assist (HAS) is a level 2 Autonomy system (in reference to NHTSA standards) that is designed to aid the driver in the steering, acceleration, and braking functions of the vehicle. HAS is designed to only function on highways or limited access freeways. HAS centers the vehicle by controlling the EPS system based off of lane line information from the forward-facing camera and data from the front radar sensor. WARNING! • In case the vehicle approaches a curve that is too tight in relation to the current speed the system will disengage, therefore the driver must be prepared to take over control of the vehicle immediately at any time. To avoid this situation it is important that the vehicle speed is not set higher than the current speed limit of the road. 5 HAS combines ACC and LKA to manage the steering and speed of the vehicle under specific conditions. The conditions to engage HAS are listed in the next paragraph. If a lane line cross is imminent, the steering wheel will 266 • Highway Assist (HAS) is a hands-on feature! You must keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times. The HAS system will disengage and ACC will cancel if your hands are removed from the steering wheels for a set amount of time. • HAS is intended for use only on highways or limited access freeways with a fully attentive driver. When using HAS, hold the steering wheel and be aware of surrounding traffic and road conditions. Always be prepared to immediately take over control of the vehicle from the HAS system. Failure to follow these Driving instructions could result in serious injury or death. • The following list does not fully represent all situations in which HAS may not function as intended. Do NOT solely rely on the HAS system to control the vehicle. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert and safely control the vehicle at all times. • If the windshield is replaced, you must have the forward-facing camera remounted and aligned by an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Many factors can impact the performance of HAS causing the system to be unable to function as intended. These include (but are not limited to): • Narrow, winding or curvy roads. • Poor visibility (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.). • Bright light (oncoming headlights or direct sunlight) or shadows. • Damage or obstruction caused by mud, ice, snow, etc. • A damaged or misaligned bumper. • Interference from other equipment that generates electromagnetic waves. • Wet roads, roads covered or partially covered by snow. • Construction zones. HAS Operation With ACC set (see “Adaptive Cruise Crontrol – ACC” in this section), HAS system activates by simply pressing the button on the steering wheel. Once the conditions are met, HAS will engage. CAUTION! The Highway Assist (HAS) system may take up to 5 seconds to engage once all conditions are met. The conditions for HAS to engage are as follows: • HAS must be turned on or enabled. NOTE: In case of wet road or raining conditions the function could be disabled by the system in order to minimize the risks. • The vehicle must be on the highway or limited access freeway. • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) must be engaged. • Left and right visible lane lines. • Vehicle speed must be between 0 to 87 mph (0 and 140 km/h). • No faults in the forward facing camera, radar, EPS, or MTC+. • Lane width between 3 to 4.6 yd (2.8 and 4.2 m). • Turn signal not activated. • No faults related to this system. Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h) Minimum 0 (0) Engaged/activated (with ACC engaged) 0 (0) Engaged/activated (with ACC not engaged) 18 (30) Maximum 90 (145) 5 • If set above the maximum speed, HAS will not function after the vehicle speed will reach the maximum speed. • If set below the maximum speed and the ACC target speed is increased, HAS will function up to the maximum speed and then the system will turn off automatically. • When the ACC target speed is reduce and speed is lower than the 267 Driving maximum speed, the system will start automatically. • If the ACC target speed is set under the maximum speed, HAS is active and vehicle speed increases above the maximum speed due to slope, HAS will continue to function. HAS Monitoring on Instrument Cluster 5 268 HAS and the other ADAS systems conditions can be monitored on instrument cluster display by accessing the “Driver Assist” page with the buttons on the steering wheel (see “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). The symbol in grey indicates that the HAS system is active, but not engaged and is shown at the centre of the TFT display when the “Driver Assist” page is displayed. When exiting the "Driver Assist" page, on TFT display top left corner, the grey symbol will appear in the multiple light of active ADAS systems. When in Driver Assist Page When in Driver Assist Page When exiting the “Driver Assist” page, the attention level colour will always be displayed until the system is disabled by pressing the button on the steering wheel. Out of Driver Assist Page In addition to these symbols, on the TFT top and bottom edge a coloured glow may appear (further referred to as "attention level colour"). Attention level colour together with the outline of the symbol represent a further indication of the system status. Out of Driver Assist Page The HAS system uses sensors in the steering wheel outer crown to detect if the driver’s hands are on the steering wheel. If the driver’s hands are not detected on the steering Driving wheel, the instrument cluster will display a series of warnings to alert the driver to return their hands to the steering wheel. There will also be audible chimes. After a set amount of time, HAS will cancel if the driver’s hands are not returned to the steering wheel. When the system does not sense the hands on the steering wheel for a few seconds (3 – 5 seconds) or more (up to 10 seconds), it tries to draw the attention of the driver by showing, even when the display is not in the "Driver Assist" page, the symbol with the figure of the hands in the centre of the display. According to such time frames, the system will change the attention level colour, silence the audio in the vehicle (if it is active) and emit audible chimes to invite the driver to take the control of the vehicle again. This is the only way to reengage the system. Hands Detection on Steering Wheel The sensors in the steering wheel outer crown are able to detect the presence of the hands on the steering wheel. In order to be able to use the HAS system, place your hands around the steering wheel outer crown. NOTE: • The presence of the hands on the steering wheel is detected by a logic combination of a capacitive sensor installed in the steering wheel and the measured applied torque at the steering column. This leads to a more robust hands detection when hands are actually on the steering wheel (at least one). • The sensors are not able to detect the presence of the hands on the steering wheel areas covered in wood, plastic bezels or carbon inserts (where present). The yellow attention level colour appears when the driver removes his/her hands from the steering wheel for 3 to 5 seconds and the symbol with the figure of the hands will occupy the whole central area of the display. 5 HAS is deactivated if the steering wheel is no longer being touched. System Statuses The active status of the HAS system is indicated by the green attention level colour which is maintained even if the driver releases his/her grip from the steering wheel up to 3 seconds. When in Driver Assist Page 269 Driving 5 Out of Driver Assist Page Out of Driver Assist Page The red attention level colour appears when the driver releases his/her grip from the steering wheel for 5 and up to 10 seconds: in this case a single audible chime is repeated until he/she will take the control of the vehicle again. The red attention level colour remains even when the steering wheel is released for more than 8 to 10 seconds. In this case, if you are travelling at a speed above 25 mph (40 km/h) a sequences of 3 audible chimes will be emitted after 8 seconds and a message will inform the driver that the HAS system has been disengaged, inviting him/her to grip the steering wheel again. The same will happen after 10 seconds if you travel at a speed below 25 mph (40 km/h). Then the symbol on TFT display will become grey. When in Driver Assist Page 270 If the driver keeps his/her hands away from the steering wheel (for more than 8 to 10 seconds), also the ACC system is deactivated ( white ACC symbol on the display) and will have to be reset. The aid of LKA system will be disabled as well. In these cases the display will not show the attention level colour anymore and the vehicle will be controlled by the driver only. HAS Disengage To disengage HAS you can do any of the following actions: • Press the HAS enable button on the steering wheel. • Begin steering manually. • Press brake pedal. • Turn off ACC. • Unbuckle the driver’s seat belt. Driving • Press ACC Gap button for two seconds to enable CC system. • Shift out of the (D) Drive gear. • Enter an Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) event (See chapter "Forward Collision Warning - FCW" in this section). • Turn signal activated. System Cancellation The HAS system will cancel (without driver intervention) if either of the following actions occur: • Curve that is too tight. • When leaving the grip of the hands on the steering wheel. • Vehicle exits the highway or limited access freeway. • Lane line markers aren’t detected by the forward facing camera. • Any ADAS system faults. • ACC cancellation. • Vehicle speed exceeds the maximum limit. • Lateral accelerations exceeds the limits. NOTE: • When HAS cancels, the will turn red then grey. symbol • The presence of the hands on the steering wheel is detected by a logic combination of a capacitive sensor installed in the steering wheel and the measured applied torque at the steering column. This leads to a more robust hands detection. System Limitations HAS is unable to guide the vehicle when the following conditions occur. • Lane markings are not clear or visibility is poor (i.e. heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.). • Obstructed, covered or damaged forward-facing camera or sensor. • When driving on hills or sharp curves. • When approaching toll booths. • When the highway entrance or exit is wider than 20 ft (6 meters). • Bright light (ex. direct sunlight or glare) facing the forward camera. WARNING! Many unforeseen conditions can occur that can affect the performance of Highway Assist (HAS). Always keep this in mind and drive attentively. Be prepared to take over control of the vehicle immediately at any time. Radar Device - Compliance Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules (NF3-LRR4). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • this device may not cause harmful interference, and • this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any unauthorized modifications or changes to these devices could void the authority of the user to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful 5 271 Driving interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. 5 Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Information This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 7.8 in (20 cm) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Traffic Sign Assist – TSA (optional) TSA detects traffic signs through the use of a forward-facing digital camera mounted on windshield, behind the rear-view mirror. TSA assists the driver by displaying on the instrument cluster detected speed limits and traffic signs with a restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g. in snow conditions). TSA also uses the data of the navigation system, in order to provide information to the driver in all cases in which the camera is not able to detect the traffic signs that are present on the road where the car is travelling. Some examples of these are: due to low visibility, light reflection, damaged traffic signs, traffic signs in wrong position like rotated or fallen poles. NOTE: • Overtaking restriction signs are not displayed by the TSA system. • TSA provides a visual warning to the driver when he/she unintentionally exceeds the maximum speed allowed by 2 mph - km/h. 272 • The performance of TSA depends on the update degree of navigation system’s maps. Setting and Signs Monitoring on Instrument Cluster To set TSA feature touch “Controls” soft-key on MTC+ display and then “Traffic Sign Assist” soft-key. The blue color of the soft-key outline will indicate that the feature is set. Touch the soft-key again to turn off TSA feature. If TSA feature is set and a sign or a speed limit is detected, the related icons are displayed in the upper area of the instrument cluster beside of the main menu number and scroll arrows. The display area is divided in two different sectors: Driving 1 Conditioned speed limit area. 2 Unconditioned speed limit area. Since TSA also uses the data provided by the navigation system, it can update the sector 2 of the display in the following situations without detecting traffic signs: • If the signs are ambiguous, e.g. traffic signs on construction sites or in adjacent lanes. • When the vehicle changes road. • Highway enter/exit. • Urban area stored in the digital map enter/exit. System Limitations TSA may be impaired or may not function in the following situations: NOTE: Overtaking restriction signs are not displayed by the TSA system. When the visual warning is provided only the unconditioned speed limit (in sector 2) will start blinking if the vehicle speed is greater than 1 mph - km/h. If the vehicle speed stays above the unconditioned speed limit of 1 mph - km/h for several seconds the unconditioned speed limit sign will stop blinking because the maneuver is evaluated as intentional. If the TSA is not able to determine any kind of valid speed limit neither from camera nor from digital maps the following image will be shown in sector 2. • If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient illumination of the road, if there are highly variable shade conditions or in rain, snow or fog. • If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections from other vehicles. • If the windshield in the area of the camera is dirty, or if the camera is fogged up, damaged or covered. • If the traffic signs are hard to detect, e.g. due to dirt or snow, or because they are covered or because of insufficient lighting. • If the information in the navigation system's digital map is incorrect or out-of-date. 5 273 Driving Tires - General Information Tire Sizing Chart Tire Safety Information EXAMPLE: P265/50 ZR19 (100Y) XL or 265/50 ZR19 (Y100) XL Tire Markings Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standards “...blank...” = Passenger car tire based on European design standards 265 = Section width in millimeters (mm) 50 = Aspect ratio in percent (%) — Ratio of section height to section width of tire 5 1.

Tire and Loading Information Label The proper cold tire inflation pressure and the loading information are listed in two labels on the driver's side rear door pillar. • Cold tire inflation pressures for the front, rear, and spare tires. • Number of people that can be carried in the vehicle. • Total weight the vehicle can carry. • Tire size designed for the vehicle. 5 Loading EXAMPLE: DOT MA L9 ABCD 0313 DOT = Department of Transportation — This symbol certifies that the tire is in compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation tire safety standards and is approved for highway use. MA = Code representing the tire manufacturing location (two digits). Loading Information Label This label tells you important information about the: Tire Information Label The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. You will not exceed the tire's load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loading conditions, tire size, and cold tire inflation pressures specified on the “Tire and Loading Information Label” and in the “Features and Specifications” section. 275 Driving NOTE: Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, gross axle weight ratings (GAWRs) for the front and rear axles must not be exceeded. 5 Tires Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles can cause serious damage to wheels, tires, and suspension parts. This is more likely to occur with low-profile tires, which provide less cushioning between the wheel and the road. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped with low profile tires. WARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase the stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. Department of Transportation Uniform Tire Quality Grades The following tire grading categories were established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The specific grade rating assigned by the tire's manufacturer in each category is shown on the sidewall of the tires on your vehicle. All passenger car tires must conform to Federal safety requirements in addition to these grades. Treadwear The Treadwear grade is a comparative rating, based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in road characteristics and climate. Traction Grades The Traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AAA, A, B, and C. These 276 grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement, as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. WARNING! The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics. Temperature Grades The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat, when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance, which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher Driving levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel, than the minimum required by law. WARNING! The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. Tire Pressure Proper tire inflation pressure is essential for safety and best performance of your vehicle. The tire pressure monitoring system “TPMS” setup on the vehicle (see “Tire Pressure Monitoring System” in this section) may alert the driver about insufficient tire pressure even though the driver is responsible for regularly checking the tire pressure. Radial tires fitted on the vehicle may look properly inflated even when they actually are under inflated. Do not make a visual judgment when determining proper inflation. Three primary driving aspects are affected by improper tire pressure: Safety WARNING! • Improperly inflated tires can be dangerous. • Under-inflation increases tire flexing and can result in tire overheating. • Over-inflation reduces a tire's ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes can cause damage that results in tire failure. • Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control. • Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pressures may cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Underinflation also increases tire rolling resistance resulting in higher fuel consumption. Ride comfort and vehicle stability Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfortable ride. Over-inflation produces a jarring and uncomfortable ride. Tire Pressure Checkup The proper cold tire inflation pressure is indicated on the driver's side rear door pillar and on the table “Tire Inflation Pressure” in section “Features and Specifications”. Inflation pressure specified on the table always refers to “cold tire inflation pressure”. Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) after a three hour period. Check tire pressures more often in case of significant outside temperature changes, as tire pressure varies according to temperature changes. The pressure should be checked and if necessary adjusted; tire wear and 5 277 Driving 5 overall conditions should also be checked monthly. Tire pressures change by approximately 1 PSI (0.07 bar) per 12°F (7°C) of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in winter. Example: If garage temperature = 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature = 32°F (0°C) then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 PSI (0.21 bar) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition. Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 PSI (0.13 to 0.4 bar) during operation. DO NOT reduce this normal pressure build-up or your tire pressure will be too low. After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem and the TPMS sensor connected to it. Tread Wear Indicators Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you determine when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. 278 When the tread is worn to one of the tread wear indicators, the tire should be replaced. WARNING! The wet performance (aquaplaning resistance) will decrease proportionally to the thickness of the tread. Tires Durability The service life of a tire depends on various factors including, but not limited to: • driving style; • tire pressure; • distance driven. WARNING! Tires and the spare tire (if equipped) should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning could result in tire failure. Replacement Tires NOTE: In order to maintain high performance and safety level under all driving conditions, Maserati strongly recommends to use tires equivalent to the originals in size, quality and performance when replacement is needed. For the size designation of your tire see the label on the driver's side rear door pillar or see table “Wheels” in section “Features and Specifications”. The “Load Index” and “Speed Symbol” for your tire will be found on the original equipment tire sidewall. NOTE: Maserati recommends Maserati Genuine Tires marked with “MGT” logo specifically designed for its models. It is recommended to replace the two front tires or two rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can seriously affect your vehicle’s handling. If you ever replace a wheel assembly, make sure that the wheel’s specifications (valve, TPMS sensor and tire) match those of the original wheels. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect Driving the safety, handling, and ride of your vehicle. Your Authorized Maserati Dealer is available to provide suggestions as to the types of tires most suited to the use foreseen by the Customer. WARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in altered steering, handling, and braking operations of the vehicle. This can cause unpredictable handling and stress to steering and suspension components. Use only the tire and wheel sizes with load ratings appointed for your vehicle. • Never use a tire with a smaller load index or capacity, other than what was originally equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller load index could result in tire overloading and failure. • Always check the maximum speed rating on the tire sidewall on any tire on the vehicle. • Never exceed the maximum speed rating of the tires. Risk of accident and serious personal injury due to excessive speed. • Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in tire failure. CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer readings. Winter Tires These tires are specially designed for driving on snow and ice and are fitted to replace the ones supplied with the vehicle. Winter or all-season tires can be identified by the M+S (Mud & Snow) or 3PMSF (3 Peaks Mountain Snow Flake) designation on the tire sidewall. Before mounting winter tires, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer to receive the technical information necessary to advise you on wheel and tire compatibility. As to the type of tires to use, inflation pressures and winter tires specifications, carefully follow the indications as reported in the “Technical Data” and “Tire Inflation Pressure” chapters in section “Features and Specifications”. WARNING! The standard tires profile and rubber mixture are optimized for wet and dry driving conditions. Standard tires may not prove favorable for snow conditions. NOTE: Snow tires should have the same load capacity as original equipment tires and should be mounted on all four wheels. 5 Snow Chains Maserati approved traction devices (or snow chains) may be used to improve traction on compacted snow in heavy snow conditions. The use of snow chains is specified by local regulations of each country. Use snow chains of reduced dimensions, with a maximum projection of 0.23 in (6 mm) beyond the tire tread. The chains may be fitted only on 18” and 19” rear wheel tires. 279 Driving Please contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer for further information. Check the snow chain tension after driving for a distance of about 55 yd (50 m) with the chains fitted. With the snow chains fitted, it is advisable to deactivate the ESC system (see chapter “Drive Mode” in this section). CAUTION! 5 280 • The use of non-recommended snow chains may damage the vehicle. • Broken snow chains can cause serious damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could indicate snow chain breakage. Remove the damaged parts of the snow chain before further use. • Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h). • Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle. • Avoid holes in the road, do not drive over steps or sidewalks and do not drive on long stretches without snow. This will prevent damage to the vehicle and the roadbed. NOTE: The Authorized Maserati Dealer can provide you with all information about the Maserati Snow Chains, available in the "Genuine Accessories" range. Compact Spare Tire The limited-use spare tire, or compact spare tire, is for temporary emergency use only. This tire is identified by a label indicating the driving speed limitations to comply with when using the spare tire. Inflate the spare tire to the cold inflation pressure listed on the table “Tire Inflation Pressure” in section “Features and Specifications”. Mounting the spare tire affects vehicle handling. Replace (or repair) as soon as possible the original equipment tire and reinstall it on the vehicle. Do not install more than one compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at a time. WARNING! With these compact spare tires, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Temporary use spares have limited tread life. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressure according to the vehicle recommended cold pressure indicated on the table “Tire Inflation Pressure” in section “Features and Specifications” and on the label applied on the driver's side rear door pillar. Tire pressure should always be set based on cold inflation tire pressure. The cold tire inflation pressure must not exceed the maximum inflation pressure molded into the tire sidewall. Check “Tires – General Information” in section “Driving” for information on how to properly inflate the tires. The tire pressure will also increase as the vehicle is driven - this is normal and there is no adjustment required when this occurs. The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if the tire pressure falls below the low-pressure warning limit for any reason, including low temperature effects and natural pressure loss of the tire. The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire pressure as long as the condition persists and will not turn Driving off until the tire pressure is equal or above the recommended cold inflation pressure. Once the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, you must increase the tire pressure to the recommended cold inflation pressure in order for the TPMS light to turn off. The system will automatically update and the TPMS light will turn off once the system acquires the correct tire pressure. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to acquire and process the updated setting. WARNING! The TPMS warns the driver that the tire pressure has decreased. This warning does not exempt the driver from periodically checking the tires and from complying with the prescribed tire pressure levels. CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may occur when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result. • The system can temporarily experience radio-electric interference emitted by devices using similar frequencies. • After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem and damage the TPMS internal sensor. NOTE: • Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and may lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. • The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure using an accurate tire pressure gage, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS light . 5 (Continued) 281 Driving automatically update, the graphic display in the instrument cluster will stop flashing, and the TPMS light will turn off. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to acquire and process the updated information. (Continued) • Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pressure in the tire. Premium System 5 The TPMS system uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem transmit tire pressure readings to the receiver module. The TPMS consists of the following components: Tire Pressure System Fault The instrument cluster will also display a screenshot reporting the pressure values of each tire with flashing low pressure value. • receiver module; • four TPMS sensors; • various TPMS messages, which display on the instrument cluster; • warning light . Tire Pressure Low Warning will illuminate in The TPMS light the instrument cluster and an acoustic signal will notify that tire pressure is low in one or more of the four tires. 282 Should this occur, you should stop as soon as possible and inflate the tire/s with the low pressure (the one/s flashing in the instrument cluster graphic) to the recommended cold pressure inflation value. Once the system receives the updated tire pressure value, the system will If a system fault is detected, the TPMS light will flash for 75 seconds and then remain lit followed by a beeping sound. Therewith, the instrument cluster will display a "Service Tire Pressure System" message for a minimum of five seconds and then display dashes (--) in place of the pressure value to indicate which sensor is ineffective. If the ignition switch is cycled, the sequence will repeat, in case the system fault still persists. If the system fault no longer exists, the TPMS light will no longer flash, and the "Service Tire Pressure System" message will no longer be displayed, and a pressure value will be displayed in place of the dashes. A system fault can occur due to any of the following: • Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities Driving emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors. • Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains materials that may block radio wave signals. • Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings. • Using tire chains on the vehicle. • Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors. The instrument cluster will also display a "Service Tire Pressure System" message for a minimum of five seconds when a system fault related to an incorrect sensor location fault is detected. In this case, the "Service Tire Pressure System" message is then followed by a graphic display with pressure values still shown. This indicates that the pressure values are still being received from the TPMS sensors but they may not be located in the correct vehicle position. The system still needs to be serviced as long as the "Service Tire Pressure System" message is displayed. addition, the graphic in the instrument cluster will still display a flashing pressure value corresponding to the compact tire position. Vehicles with Compact Spare Tire • The compact spare tire does not have a TPMS sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the pressure of the compact spare tire. • If you replace a tire having pressure below the low-pressure warning limit, with the compact spare tire, on the next ignition switch cycle, the TPMS light will illuminate followed by a beeping sound. In • After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the TPMS light will flash for 75 seconds and then remain lit. The instrument cluster will then display a "Service Tire Pressure System" message for a minimum of five seconds and then display dashes (--) in place of the pressure value. • Each subsequent ignition switch cycle will be followed by a beeping sound, the TPMS light will flash for 75 seconds and then remain lit. The instrument cluster will then display a "Service Tire Pressure System" message for a minimum of five seconds and subsequently 5 283 Driving displays dashes (--) in place of the pressure value. 5 • Once you repair, replace or reinstall a tire with the compact spare tire, the TPMS will update automatically. The will turn OFF and the TPMS light graphic in the instrument cluster will display a new pressure value instead of dashes (--), as long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit in any of the four tires. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to acquire and process the updated information. assemblies. After replacing all four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires not equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors, drive the vehicle for 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the TPMS light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on and the instrument cluster will display the “Service Tire Pressure System” message and then display dashes (--) in place of the pressure values. Beginning with the next ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will no longer chime or display the “Service Tire Pressure System” message in the instrument cluster but dashes (--) will remain in place of the pressure values. 284 The instrument cluster will also display pressure values in place of the dashes (--). On the next ignition switch cycle the “Service Tire Pressure System” message will no longer be displayed as long as no system fault exists. General Information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: TPMS Deactivation The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all four tire rims with wheel and tire assemblies not using of TPMS sensors, such as winter wheel and tire minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the TPMS light will flash for 75 seconds and then turn off. The instrument cluster will then display the “Service Tire Pressure System” message. To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires equipped with TPMS sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20 • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference received, including Driving interference that may cause undesired operation. The TPMS sensors are regulated by the MRXC4W4MA4 license. WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that which are know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passengervehicle Fuel Requirements The engines are designed to meet all environmental regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when using unleaded premium gasoline with an AKI octane rating of 91 or above. AKI (Anti Knock Index) is an average on the Research Octane Number, RON, and the Motor Octane Number, MON (RON + MON/2 gives you the AKI). For vehicle top performance, use unleaded premium gasoline with no less than 93 minimum AKI octane rating. Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you experience these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline before considering service for the vehicle at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Besides using unleaded gasoline with the proper octane rating, gasoline that contain detergents, anti-corrosion and stability additives are recommended. Using gasoline that have these additives may help improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, and maintain vehicle performance. CAUTION! • Maserati strongly recommends the use of Premium unleaded fuel ONLY. Use of lesser grade fuel (other than Premium) will lead to reduced engine performance, and poor fuel economy and can lead to the Malfunction Indicator Light illuminating on the instrument cluster. Continued use of lesser grade fuel (other than Premium fuel) can lead to engine misfire problems and possible catalytic converter damage. • The anti-pollution devices of the vehicle require unleaded fuel to be used at all times. Under no circumstance, not even in an emergency, should leaded fuel be supplied to the fuel tank, not even a minimum quantity. This would irreparably damage the catalytic converters. An inefficient catalytic converter results in noxious exhaust emissions which damage the environment. 5 Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning gasoline, referred to as “Reformulated 285 Driving Gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline contains oxygenates and are specifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality. Maserati supports the use of reformulated gasoline. Properly blended reformulated gasoline will provide excellent performance and durability of engine and fuel system components. Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends 5 Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxygenates such as Ethanol. Fuels blended with oxygenates may be used in your vehicle. CAUTION! DO NOT use gasoline containing Methanol or gasoline containing more than 10% Ethanol. Use of these blends may result in starting and driveability problems, damage critical fuel system components, cause emissions to exceed the applicable standard, and/or cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to illuminate (see “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”. Pump labels should clearly communicate if a fuel contains greater than 10% Ethanol. 286 Problems that result from using gasoline containing Methanol or gasoline containing more than 10% Ethanol are not the responsibility of Maserati and may not be covered under warranty. MMT in Gasoline MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl) is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no performance advantage beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT. Maserati recommends gasoline without MMT to be used in your vehicle. The MMT content of gasoline may not be indicated on the gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask the gasoline station operator whether or not the gasoline contains MMT. It is even more important to look for gasoline without MMT in Canada, because MMT can be used at levels higher than those allowed in the United States. MMT is prohibited in Federal and California reformulated gasoline. Materials Added to Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is required to contain effective detergent additives. Use of additional detergents or other additives is not needed under normal conditions and they would result in additional cost. Therefore, you should not have to add anything to the fuel. Fuel System Warnings WARNING! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle's performance: • The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited by Federal and Provincial law. Using leaded gasoline can impair engine performance and damage the emissions control system. • The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold as octane enhancers, is not recommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels or additives is not the responsibility of Maserati. Driving NOTE: Intentional tampering with the emissions control system can result in civil penalties civil penalties and could void the vehicle warranty. Carbon Monoxide Warnings WARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly. Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed area, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for an extended period. If the vehicle is stopped in an open area with the engine running for more than a short period, adjust the ventilation system to force fresh, outside air into the vehicle. abnormal conditions repaired promptly. Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully open. WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that which are know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passengervehicle Refueling Fuel Filler Neck Access To access the fuel filler neck, the filler door must be unlocked. From outside the vehicle, this can only be done by pressing the unlock or the lock button on the key fob RKE transmitter, in the same way as if opening or closing the doors. If any of the door lock controls is pressed from inside the vehicle, the filler door will still remain open to allow refueling. • Press the indicated area on the filler door, which is located on the rear left side of the vehicle: the filler door will open completely. 5 • Guard against carbon monoxide with proper maintenance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any 287 Driving fuel filler door, when opened. • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel filler door is open or the tank is being filled. Refill the Tank 5 The fuel filler is sealed by an internal closing tab, which is opened by the fuel nozzle of the service station when refueling. Only a nozzle of the suitable size can open the closing tab. • Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler. NOTE: Only with a correct size nozzle you can refuel. WARNING! • To avoid the risk of fire, do not approach the filler with open flames or cigarettes! • To avoid the risk of inhaling noxious fumes, do not breathe close to the 288 • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This violates most fire-prevention regulations and may cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to turn on (see “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). • Fill the vehicle with fuel. Fuel tank capacity is indicated in the “Refillings” table in section “Features and Specifications”. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is basically full: it is possible to further ensure refueling by enabling the fuel nozzle additional fuel supply until two clicks. After the two additional clicks, the amount of fuel allowed by the system is very low, we recommend therefore not to persist further. • Wait approximately 10 seconds before removing the fuel nozzle in order to ensure completed supply of residual fuel and restrict the risk of fouling the fuel filler door area. • Remove the fuel nozzle. • Close the fuel filler door. CAUTION! To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling. Emergency Refueling Funnel A funnel is provided (in the trunk in the tool box container) for emergency refueling with a gas can. Driving WARNING! A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place gas containers outside the vehicle while filling. • Pull the release cable moderately to avoid its possible break. It's not possible to feel or hear the unlocking of the fuel filler door actuator. • Open the trunk lid (see “Trunk Lid Operation” in section “Before Starting”). • Lift the access cover on the left side of the trunk. Before the Trip Check the following at regular intervals and always before long trips: • tire pressure and condition; • levels of fluids and lubricants; • conditions of the windshield wiper blades; • clean the glass on the external light and all other glass surfaces; • proper operation of the indicator lights and of the external lights. Emergency Fuel Filler Door Release If you are unable to unlock the fuel filler door using the key fob RKE transmitter, use the fuel filler door emergency release located in the trunk. Driving Conditions • Then open normally the fuel filler door. CAUTION! It is however advisable to perform these checks at least every 600 mi (1000 km) and always following the maintenance schedule reported in section “Maintenance and Care”. 5 Before you drive: • adjust seat position, steering wheel, adjustable pedals (if equipped with) and rearview mirrors in order to have the best driving position; • ensure that nothing (mat covers, etc.) is obstructing the pedals movement; 289 Driving • carefully arrange and secure any objects in the trunk, to prevent them from moving forward in case of sudden stops; • avoid heavy meals before a trip. A light snack helps keep your reflexes sharp. In particular, avoid drinking alcohol. 5 WARNING! Passengers must only travel seated in the vehicle seats, with the seat belts fastened. Always check that the driver and all passengers have the seat belts correctly fastened. Safe Driving Although the vehicle is equipped with active and passive safety devices, the driver's conduct is always a decisive factor for road safety. Some simple rules for traveling safely in different conditions are listed below. Some of them will probably already sound familiar but, in any case, it would be useful to read them carefully. Driving at Night The main guidelines to follow when driving at night are set out below. 290 • Drive carefully. Night conditions demand more focus and attention. • Reduce your speed, especially on roads with no streetlights. • Stop at early signs of drowsiness. Continuing to drive would be a risk for yourself and for others. Have a rest before continuing your trip. • Keep the vehicle at a greater distance from vehicles in front of you than you would during the day: it is difficult to assess the speed of other vehicles when you only see the lights. • Use the high beams only outside of densely-populated areas and when you are sure that they will not disturb other drivers. • When another vehicle is approaching, switch from high beams (if on) to low beams. • Keep lights and headlights clean. • Outside of densely-populated areas, beware of animals crossing the road. Driving in the Rain Rain and wet roads are dangerous. On a wet road all maneuvers are more difficult since wheel grip on the road is significantly reduced. This means that braking distances increase considerably and road grip decreases. Some advices for driving in the rain are listed below. • Reduce your speed and keep a greater safety distance from the vehicles in front of you. High speed may result in a loss of vehicle control. • When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and road surface. This is known as aquaplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability. To reduce this possibility: slow down if the road has standing water or puddles. • Heavy rain substantially reduces visibility. In these circumstances, even during the day, turn on the low beams, to be more visible to other drivers. • Set the air conditioning and heating system controls on the defogging function, in order to avoid any visibility problem. • Periodically check the conditions of the windshield wiper blades. • In low grip conditions use “I.C.E.” driving mode (see chapters “Drive Mode” in this section). Driving Driving on Snow or Ice Driving in Fog If the fog is dense, avoid traveling if possible. When driving in mist, blanket fog or when there is the possibility of banks of fog, please consider some advices listed below. CAUTION! Be aware that rear fog lights can bother the drivers following your vehicle: when visibility is back to normal, turn off these lights. • Keep a moderate speed. • Even in daytime, turn on the low beams and rear fog lights. Do not use the high beams. • Remember that fog creates dampness on the asphalt and thus any type of maneuver is more difficult and braking distances are extended. • Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. • Avoid sudden changes in speed as much as possible. • Whenever possible, avoid overtaking. • If you are forced to stop the vehicle (breakdowns, impossibility of proceeding due to poor visibility, etc.), first of all, try to stop off of the travel lane. Then turn on the hazard warning flashers and, if possible, the low beams. Driving in the Mountains Mountain roads usually have many narrow turns and curves, tunnels and steep uphill or downhill slopes: please consider some advices listed below. • Drive at a moderate speed, avoid “cutting” corners. • When driving inside a tunnel in daylight turn on the low beams in advance; avoid high beams and be aware of the rapid brightness change. Avoid abrupt maneuvers that could be dangerous for the following vehicle. • Never coast downhill with the engine off or in neutral. • Remember that passing other vehicles when driving uphill is slower and thus requires more free distance on the road. If you are being overtaken on a hill, slow down and allow the other vehicle to pass. Please consider some general advice for driving in these conditions, listed below. • Maintain a very moderate speed. • Fit snow chains or specific tires if the road is covered with snow: see the paragraphs “Tires – General Information” in this section. • We recommend you to activate the “I.C.E.” mode (see chapters “Drive Mode” in this section). • During the winter season, even apparently dry roads can have icy sections. Be careful when crossing bridges, viaducts and roads that have little exposure to the sun and are bordered by trees and rocks. They may be icy. • Keep an ample safe distance from the vehicles in front of you. 5 WARNING! • Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the driving wheels. You could lose control of the vehicle and possibly (Continued) 291 Driving (Continued) have a collision. Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow, wet mud, loose sand, etc.). 5 • Do not drive on or across a road or path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flowing water can wear away the road or path surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water. Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly. Failure to follow this warning may result in injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you. Although your vehicle is capable of driving through shallow standing water, consider the following Cautions and Warnings before doing so. CAUTION! • Always check the depth of the standing water before driving through it. Never drive through standing water that is deeper than 47 in (150 mm). • Determine the condition of the road or the path that is under water and if there are any obstacles in the way 292 before driving through the standing water. • Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water. This will minimize wave effects. • Driving through standing water may cause damage to your vehicle drivetrain components. After driving through standing water, do not drive if you are not sure about drivetrain condition. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Warranty. • Getting water inside your vehicle engine can cause it to lock up and stall out, and cause serious internal damage to the engine. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Warranty. • After driving through standing water always have the fluids (engine oil, transmission oil, etc) checked for contamination at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. WARNING! • Driving through standing water limits your vehicle traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water. • Driving through standing water limits your vehicle braking capabilities, which increases stopping distances. Therefore, after driving through standing water, drive slowly and lightly press on the brake pedal several times to progressively dry the brakes discs and pads. • Getting water inside your vehicle engine can cause it to lock up and stall out. • Failure to follow these warnings may result in injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you. 6 – In an Emergency Tool Kit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

When these lights illuminate, the turn signals, the related warning lights on the instrument cluster and the button start flashing. Press the switch a second time to turn off the hazard warning flashers. This is an emergency warning system and it should not be used when the vehicle is in motion. Use it when your vehicle is disabled and it is creating a safety hazard for other motorists. When you must leave the vehicle to seek assistance, the hazard warning flashers will continue to operate even In the Event of an Accident It is important always to keep calm. • If not directly involved, stop at a safe distance of at least ten yards (meters) away from the accident area. • If on a highway, stop without obstructing the emergency lane and be especially careful if you need to exit the vehicle. • Turn off the engine and switch on the hazard warning flashers. • At night, illuminate the accident area with the headlights. • Always act with caution to avoid the risk of being crashed into by other drivers. • Indicate that an accident has occurred by placing the emergency triangle (if equipped) in a well visible position and at the prescribed distance. • Call the emergency services, providing as much information as possible. On the highway, use the special call boxes. • Remove the ignition key (if present) from the vehicles involved. 6 295 In an Emergency • If fuel or other chemical products can be smelled, do not smoke and ask people around you to put their cigarettes out. • To extinguish fires, even small ones, use a fire extinguisher, blankets, sand or earth. Never use water. • In multiple accidents occurred on highways, particularly where visibility is poor, there is a high risk of being involved in other collisions. Leave the vehicle immediately and move away from the area. In case of Injured Persons 6 • Never leave the injured person alone. Persons not directly involved in the accident are also required to give assistance. • Do not crowd around injured persons. • Reassure the injured person that help is on the way. WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that 296 which are know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passengervehicle In case of a Punctured Tire If the vehicle is equipped with a compact spare wheel. Using the Compact Spare Wheel NOTE: The compact spare wheel is supplied in aluminium or steel: the pictures show the one in aluminium. The compact spare wheel is stored in the trunk and is supplied deflated in order to limit the amount of space occupied. An electric compressor is also provided for inflating. In the event of a tire puncture, proceed as follows. • Stop the vehicle in a place that does not constitute a danger to traffic and where the wheel can be changed safely. The vehicle must be level and on firm ground. • Select the P (Park) mode and then engage manually the electric parking brake and move the ignition switch to OFF position. • If necessary, turn the hazard warning flashers on and place the warning triangle (if equipped) at the required distance. In an Emergency WARNING! • The jack should be used on level firm ground wherever possible. • It is recommended that the wheels of the vehicle be chocked, and that no person should remain in a vehicle that is being jacked. • If the vehicle has been stopped on a slope or an uneven surface, place chocks or other suitable items in front of or behind the wheels to stop the vehicle from moving. • Unscrew and pull out the locking wheel knob. • Never start or run the engine with the vehicle on a jack. • Insert the power plug into one of the available power outlets fitted in the trunk or passenger compartment. • Set the ignition device on ACC or RUN position. • Turn the compressor on by pressing the switch. • Stop the compressor by pressing the switch again, when the pressure indicated by the gauge reaches the recommended level (see “Tire Inflation Pressure” in section “Features and Specifications”) and screw the cap on the compact spare wheel valve. • No person should place any portion of their body under a vehicle that is supported by a jack. • Lift the ground coverage of the trunk. • Take the tools for changing the wheel (indicated in picture) from the container. 6 • Take the container and the compact spare wheel out of the trunk. • Remove from the compressor case the inflation hose and the cable with a plug for the power outlet. • Unscrew the valve cap of the compact spare wheel and screw the fitting of the inflation hose onto the valve. 297 In an Emergency CAUTION! • In order to obtain a more accurate reading, the compressor should be switched off when checking the tire pressure of the compact spare wheel on the pressure gauge. • Do not run the compressor for more than 20 minutes: there is a risk it could overheat. Also, prolonged power absorption may discharge the battery, subsequently preventing the engine from starting. • The compressor has been designed exclusively to inflate compact spare wheels; do not use it to inflate air mattresses, floatation devices, etc. 6 298 • Remove the center cover of the wheel rim (if equipped) levering into the provided groove on the outer ledge of the cover. • Fit the adapter on the wrench. Extend the wrench as shown, then loosen by approximately one turn, the five bolts on the wheel to be changed. • Place the jack near the wheel to be changed as illustrated. • Make sure that the head of the jack is correctly inserted in one of the slots beneath the rocker panel. WARNING! • Never position yourself under a jacked vehicle. • Never use the jack to carry out maintenance or repairs under the vehicle. • Turn the jack lever until the wheel is raised a few centimeters off the ground. • Completely unscrew the five bolts and remove the wheel. In case a wheel security stud bolt is installed, it can only be removed by using the specific fitting wrench provided with the “Wheel Security Stud Bolt Kit”, available in the “Genuine Accessories” range. • Fit the compact spare wheel with the valve stem facing outward, securing it with the five bolts previously removed. • Turn the lever of the jack to lower the vehicle and remove the jack. • Fully tighten the bolts, alternately tightening diametrically opposite. WARNING! • FOR ALUMINIUM SPARE WHEEL Observe the tightening torque for the bolts securing the spare wheel (72 ± 7 lbf·ft/ 98 ± 10 Nm). • FOR STEEL SPARE WHEEL Observe the tightening torque for the bolts securing the spare wheel (63 ± 7 lbf·ft/ 86 ± 10 Nm). • To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the wheel bolts fully until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in personal injury. In an Emergency WARNING! • The spare wheel is narrower than standard wheels and must only be used to travel the distance required to reach a service station, where the punctured tire can be repaired or replaced. • Do not exceed a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) when using the compact spare wheel; when this limit is exceeded, the stability, road holding and braking of the vehicle will be compromised. Avoid accelerating to full speed, heavy braking and fast cornering. • The compact spare wheel must be inflated to the recommended tire pressure (see “Tire Inflation Pressure” in section “Features and Specifications”). • For safety reasons, it is absolutely forbidden to drive with more than one compact spare wheel fitted on the vehicle. • Snow chains cannot be fitted on the compact spare wheel. • The spare wheel can travel a maximum of 1,800 mi (3.000 km). 6 To Refit the Standard Wheel with Repaired or Replaced Tire • Following the procedure and the caution described above, raise the vehicle and remove the compact spare wheel reusing the supplied wrench with adapter, suitably extended. • Fit the standard wheel with repaired or replaced tire. 299 In an Emergency • Tighten the original bolts on the wheel. • Lower the vehicle and remove the jack. • Fully tighten the bolts, alternately tightening diametrically opposite. 6 WARNING! Observe the tightening torque for the bolts securing the wheels (72 ± 7 lbf·ft / 98 ± 10 Nm). • fix everything in place with the locking knob; • wrap the power cable and the inflation hose inside the compressor case; • place the compressor, the jack, the wrench and the adapter in the container inside the compact spare wheel; • Reassemble the center cover (if equipped) on the wheel rim. Once finished: • completely deflate the compact spare wheel by pressing on the valve with the overhang of the valve cap; • place the compact spare wheel and tool container in the trunk; 300 • reposition the other tools; • lower the ground coverage at the bottom of the trunk. In an Emergency Emergency Release of the Parking Brake In the event the electric parking brake locks due to a system failure (see “Parking Brake” in section “Driving”), it is not possible to move the vehicle, since the 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 force the actuator to release the rear brake discs. Contact the Authorized Maserati Dealer to carry out this operation. WARNING! 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 of the central console, do not move the vehicle since rear brake calipers might be damaged. For more information on vehicle towing see "Towing a Disabled Vehicle" chapter in this section. Transmission Manual Release of P (Park) Position The manual disengagement of the shift from P (Park) has the purpose to allow towing the vehicle if not normally possible using the shift lever (such as inability to start the engine). This procedure is exclusively intended for emergency situations, only! WARNING! Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the parking brake, before activating the manual park release. Activating the manual park release could allow your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured by the parking brake. Activating the manual park release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury or death for those in or around the vehicle. • With the tip of a screwdriver press the clip shown in the picture box and lift the strap up to release the transmission from the P (Park) position. The new position will allow vehicle moving and towing. • Release the parking brake only when the vehicle is securely connected to a tow vehicle. 6 The cover that allows the emergency manual park release is located on the left part of the driver’s foot well. • Lift the mat on the driver side to access the cover. • Slip the cover from its seat. 301 In an Emergency 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: 6 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. 302 CAUTION! • 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. • 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. • 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! Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the parking brake, before activating the manual park release. Activating the manual park release could allow your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured by the parking brake. Activating the manual park release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury or death for those in or around the vehicle. NOTE: If you need to disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system, see “Maintenance — Free Battery” in section “Maintenance and Care”). WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that which are know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You could be injured by the moving fan blades. 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. • 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. • Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured. • 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. • Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories. • Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into P (Park) and turn the ignition to OFF. • 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. • Connect the other terminal clamp of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the booster battery. • Connect one terminal clamp of the negative jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the booster battery. • Connect the other terminal clamp of the negative (-) jumper cable to the remote negative (-) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery as rendered. 6 303 In an Emergency • 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. 6 304 • 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. • Disconnect the terminal clamp of the negative (-) jumper cable from the remote negative (-) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery. • Disconnect the other terminal clamp of the negative jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the booster battery. • Disconnect the terminal clamp of the positive (+) jumper cable from the positive (+) post of the booster battery.

To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passengervehicle Towing a Disabled Vehicle Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent damage to your vehicle. 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. Manual Release of Transmission with Low Battery In order to push or tow the vehicle if unable to shift the transmission out of P (Park) (such as a discharged battery), a manual park release is available. In this case it is necessary to manually release the shift lever and release the parking brake if inserted (see “Emergency Release of the Parking Brake” in this section). Follow the steps as indicated in “Transmission Manual Release of P (Park) Position” in this section to manually disengage the transmission. In an Emergency Vehicle Towing Conditions Maserati only allows vehicle towing either on a flatbed or with all four wheels off the ground. Towing an RWD Vehicle If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transmission is still operable, a RWD vehicle may be flat towed (with all four wheels on the ground) under the following conditions. • The shift lever must be in N (Neutral). • The distance to be traveled must not exceed 30 mi (50 km). • The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h). If the transmission is not operable, or the RWD vehicle must be towed faster than 30 mph (50 km/h) or farther than 30 mi (50 km) (for example on a highway), tow with the rear driving wheels off the ground and on a platform of a rescue vehicle, or with the rear wheels raised using a wheel lift. CAUTION! If you have to tow the RWD vehicle with 2 wheels raised, ensure that the ignition switch is in the OFF position. If this is not observed, when the ESC is active, the ECU will store a malfunction and the relative warning light will illuminate on the instrument cluster display. This requires the intervention of an Authorized Maserati Dealer to reset the system. Use the Tow Hook of the Tool Kit CAUTION! The tow hook should only be used for towing the car on flat roads. Do not use the tow hook to remove the car that is stuck on off road stretches. Towing an AWD Vehicle WARNING! Single axle towing or use of a tow dolly is not allowed since it will severely damage components of an AWD vehicle. The tow hook is also used to tow the vehicle on the platform of a tow truck. The tow hook is contained in the tool kit (see “Tool Kit” in this section) and must be screwed in its seat accessible behind the front grille, right-hand side. 6 WARNING! Use of a tow dolly on front wheels is strictly forbidden since front wheels may still receive a residual amount of torque and disengage the vehicle from the tow dolly and affect safety of both rescuers and other road users. • Carefully clean the threaded seat before screwing the hook. • Screw the tow hook into its seat for at least 11 turns. 305 In an Emergency NOTE: Maximum work angle of towing cable: 15°. 6 306 7 – Maintenance and Care Scheduled Maintenance Service . .

NOTE: Also remember that the observance of the maintenance procedures is essential for keeping your vehicle operating properly. Not adhering to the “Scheduled Service Plan” can impact your vehicle’s warranty. Interval Running Coupons 7 308 Maserati has therefore provided for a series of checks and maintenance operations involving the 1st service when the vehicle mileage reaches 12,500 mi (20,000 km) or after 1 year of the vehicle's life, and subsequently every 12,500 mi (20,000 km) or every year. After the 6th service, maintenance must be restarted with the operations scheduled for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd service. CAUTION! The Scheduled Maintenance services are prescribed by the Manufacturer. Failure to have the services carried out can affect your warranty. The Scheduled Maintenance service is provided by an Authorized Maserati Dealer. In the event that, when a service is performed, further replacements or repairs are found to be necessary in addition to the scheduled operations, these can be carried out only with the specific consent of the Customer. CAUTION! You are advised to notify the Authorized Maserati Dealer of any minor operating problem, without waiting for the next scheduled service. NOTE: • Change your vehicle's oil if it has been 1 year since your last oil change. • Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an extended period of time or short trips without reaching operating temperature. • Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 12,500 mi (20,000 km) or at least after 1 year. CAUTION! Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle. Scheduled Maintenance (Service) Indicator The service indicator system will remind you the deadline for the maintenance program. The indicator light on the instrument cluster flashes for approx. 5 seconds displaying the message backed by a beeping sound, indicating that the next scheduled maintenance is due or has already overdue (see paragraph ”TFT Display: Warning/Indicator Lights of the Set Modes/ Functions” in chapter “Instrument Cluster” of section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for more details). Maintenance and Care An Authorized Maserati Dealer will reset the service indicator message after completing the scheduled maintenance operations. The service indicator and message will illuminate approximately from 620 mi (1000 km) or 30 days to the next scheduled maintenance. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Scheduled Service Plan The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this manual must be done at the times or mileages specified to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle performance and reliability. More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles in operating conditions, such as dusty areas and very short trip driving. Inspection and service should also be done anytime a malfunction is suspected. Maserati recommends that these maintenance intervals be performed at an Authorized Maserati Dealer. The technicians at your dealership know your vehicle best, and have access to factory-approved information, genuine Maserati parts, and specially designed electronic and mechanical tools that can help prevent future costly repairs. 7 NOTE: The service indicator will not monitor the time elapsed from the last scheduled maintenance. 309 Maintenance and Care Main Operations/Service Coupons Interval running coupons: every 12,500 mi (20,000 km) or 1 year Service coupons Main operations 1° 2° 3° Available Pre-Paid Maintenance Program Vehicle road test I I 6° I I I I I I I Engine oil and filter R R R R R R Engine coolant level I I I I I I Engine check for leaks I I I I I I I I Air filter Belt for alternator Belt for water pump and air conditioning compressor Intercooler check for leaks Brake fluid I I I R I I Replace every time the part is removed I I I R I I Replace every time the part is removed R I I I I R I I I I I I I I I I I I I Replace every 2 years Brake system (lines, calipers, connections) - Instrument cluster warning light efficiency - Parking brake operation I Tire wear, tire and spare tire (if equipped) pressure check I Joints, rods for front and rear suspensions, front and rear under-chassis I R Spark plugs 310 5° Check with Maserati Diagnosis Cooling system connections and lines (check for leaks) 7 4° I I I I I I I I Maintenance and Care Interval running coupons: every 12,500 mi (20,000 km) or 1 year Service coupons 1° 2° 3° 4° Available Pre-Paid Maintenance Program Main operations Correct operation and reliability of the seats and seat belts I Pollen filter I I R I 5° 6° I I R R Windshield fluid level - Windshield washer I I I I I I Headlight leveling I I I I Controls and adjustment systems in general, hinges, doors, engine compartment lid and luggage compartment I I I I I Condition of leather interiors I I I I = Inspect and carry out any other necessary operation.

To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passengervehicle 7 311 Maintenance and Care Heavy-Duty Vehicle Use If the car is mainly used under one of the following conditions: • off-road; • short, repeated journeys (less than 4-5 mi/7-8 km) at sub-zero outside temperatures; • engine often idling or driving long distances at low speeds or long periods of idleness; you should perform the following inspections more frequently than recommended on the “Scheduled Service Plan”: 7 312 • check front disc brake pad conditions and wear; • check cleanliness of hood and trunk locks, cleanliness and lubrication of linkage; • visually inspect conditions of: engine, transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and rubber elements (boots - sleeves bushes - etc.); • check battery charge; • visually inspect condition of the accessory drive belts; • check and, if necessary, change engine oil and replace oil filter; • check and, if necessary, replace pollen filter of the A/C system; • check and, if necessary, replace air cleaner filter. CAUTION! All maintenance operations for the vehicle must be carried out by an Authorized Maserati Dealer. For routine and minor maintenance operations which you can carry out yourself, make sure that you have the necessary experience and always use suitable equipment, original Maserati spare parts and the prescribed fluids. Shall this not be the case, do not carry any operation on your own and contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer. On Board Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated on board diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems. When these systems are operating properly, your vehicle will provide excellent performance and fuel economy, as well as engine emissions suited to current government regulations. If any of these systems require service, the OBD II system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light on the instrument cluster display (refer to “Instrument Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). The system stores as well diagnostic codes and other information to assist your service technician by performing repairs. Although the vehicle will be driveable and will not need towing, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer for service as soon as possible. CAUTION! • Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause further damage to the emissions control system. It could Maintenance and Care also affect fuel economy and driveability. The vehicle must be serviced before any emissions tests can be performed. • If the MIL is flashing while the engine is running, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service at an Authorized Maserati Dealer is required. Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an inspection of your vehicle's emissions control system. Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration. For states that require an Inspection and Maintenance (I/M), this check verifies the “Malfunction Indicator Light ” is functioning and is not on when the engine is running, and that the OBD II system is ready for testing. Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The OBD II system may not be ready if your vehicle was recently serviced, recently had a dead battery or a battery replacement. If the OBD II system should be determined not ready for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test. To check if your vehicle's OBD II system is ready, you must do the following: 1. Press the ignition device to the RUN position, but do not crank or start the engine. 2. As soon as you press the ignition device to turn the engine On, you will see the MIL remain illuminated for 15 seconds, this is a normal bulb check. 3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things will happen: • The MIL will remain illuminated and a message error will appear on your instrument cluster. This means that your vehicle's OBD II system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station. • The MIL will turn Off. This means that your vehicle's OBD II system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station. If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see an Authorized Maserati Dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failure or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD II system to update. A recheck with the above test routine may then indicate that the system is now ready. Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II system is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated during normal vehicle operation you should have your vehicle serviced before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the MIL is on with the engine running. Spare Parts Use of genuine Maserati parts for normal or scheduled maintenance and repairs is highly recommended to ensure excellent performance. Damage or failures caused by non-genuine spare parts used for maintenance and repairs will not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Dealer Service An Authorized Maserati Dealer has the qualified service personnel, special tools, and equipment to perform all service operations in an expert manner. Service Manuals are available which include detailed service information for your vehicle. Refer to these Service Manuals before attempting any procedure yourself. 7 313 Maintenance and Care Intentional tampering with emissions control systems may void your warranty and could result in civil penalties. WARNING! You can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Take your vehicle to an Authorized Maserati Dealer. 7 314 WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that which are know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passengervehicle Maintenance Procedures The following pages contain the “required” maintenance standards determined by Maserati engineers. Besides those maintenance items specified in the “Scheduled Service Plan”, there are other components which may require service or replacement in the future. To perform most of the services, it is necessary to open the hood (see “Hood Operation” in section “Before Starting”). The following images show the position of the components involved in the maintenance service. CAUTION! • Failure to properly maintain your vehicle or perform repairs and service when necessary could result in more costly repairs, damage to other components or negatively impact vehicle performance. Immediately have potential malfunctions examined by an Authorized Maserati Dealer or a qualified repair center. • Your vehicle has been equipped with improved fluids that protect the performance and durability of your vehicle and also allow extended maintenance intervals. Do not use chemical flushes for washing as the chemicals can damage your engine, transmission, power steering or air conditioning. Such damages are not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. If a flush is needed because of component malfunction, use only the specified fluid for the flushing procedure. Maintenance Service Components 1 Engine oil dipstick. 2 Engine oil filler neck. 3 Air cleaner filters. 4 Engine coolant expansion reservoir cap. 5 Coolant reservoir cap for transmission cooling system. 6 Washer fluid reservoir cap. 7 Brake fluid reservoir access cover. 8 A/C pollen filter access cover. 9 Integrated power module (fuses). Maintenance and Care Level Checks ENVIRONMENTAL! • The engine oils and fluids used contain substances that are dangerous to the environment. For replacement you are advised to contact the Authorized Maserati Dealer, where all the necessary equipment is available to dispose of the used oil and fluids in compliance with the regulations in force and in an environment-friendly manner. • All equipment used for fluids replacement (gloves, cloths, containers, etc) must be disposed of in compliance with the regulations in force. Engine Coolant Level Check Your vehicle has been equipped with an improved engine coolant (antifreeze) that offers high protection against corrosion, freezing and allows extended maintenance intervals. To prevent reducing extended maintenance periods, it is important to use original engine coolant (antifreeze) when adding coolant throughout the life of your vehicle. When adding engine coolant (antifreeze) use pure water only, such as distilled or deionized water when mixing the water/engine coolant (antifreeze) solution. The use of impure water will reduce the amount of corrosion protection in the engine cooling system. • Mix a minimum solution of 50% engine coolant (antifreeze) and distilled water. Use higher concentrations (do not exceed 70%) if temperatures below −35°F (−37°C) are forecast. Please note that it is the owner's responsibility to maintain the proper level of protection against freezing according to the temperatures occurring in the circulation area of the vehicle. 7 315 Maintenance and Care The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method to determine that the coolant level is adequate. As long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory, the coolant bottle only needs to be checked once a month. With the engine off and cold, the level of the coolant in the bottle on the left side of the engine compartment should be between the ranges indicated on the bottle and inside the filler neck. 7 316 • When additional engine coolant (antifreeze) is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle after removing the cap. Do not overfill. • Once the desired level is reached, reassemble and firmly close cap of the bottle. • If frequent engine coolant (antifreeze) additions are required, or if the level in the coolant recovery bottle does not drop when the engine cools, the cooling system should be tested by an Authorized Maserati Dealer. • Keep the front of the radiator and the condenser clean. WARNING! • Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when the engine is hot. Do not loosen or remove the cap of the engine coolant bottle to cool a hot engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system. To prevent scalding or injury, do not remove the pressure cap while the system is hot or under pressure. • When adding coolant do not use a pressure cap other than the one specified for your vehicle. Personal injury or engine damage may result. WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that which are know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a Maintenance and Care well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passengervehicle fluid (see “Refillings” in section “Features and Specifications”). • Once the correct level is reached, firmly close the cap. Brake Fluid Level Check Check the fluid level immediately if the brake system warning light (USA) and the related message turn on indicating a low level of brake fluid. • Remove the brake fluid reservoir access cover. • Clean the top of the master cylinder reservoir before removing the cap. • Add fluid to bring the level up to the “MAX” mark on the side of the master cylinder reservoir. Use only manufacturer's recommended brake WARNING! • To avoid contamination from foreign materials or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly closed container. Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times. • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid. Brake fluid can also damage painted and vinyl surfaces, make sure it does not spill over these surfaces. Normal brake pad wear could cause the fluid level to fall. However, low fluid level may be caused by a leak too, and requires accurate checkup of the braking system. CAUTION! on the tank cap The symbol identifies the synthetic type of brake fluid, distinguishing it from the mineral type. Using mineral fluids damages the special rubber linings of the brake system irreparably. • Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contaminate the brake fluid. Brake seal components could be damaged. Adding Washer Fluid The reservoir on the left side of the engine compartment contains the fluid to wash the windshield. During scheduled services or when the message of low level of the washer fluid appears together with the related telltale add more fluid as soon as possible. The fluid reservoir may contain nearly 3.2 Quarts (3 liters) of washer fluid. 7 317 Maintenance and Care • Remove the reservoir cap in the engine compartment and lift the filler neck. a cloth or towel and wipe the wiper blades clean. This will help blade performance. To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer system in cold weather, select a solution or mixture that meets or exceeds the temperature range of your climate. This rating information can be found on most washer fluid containers. NOTE: The Authorized Maserati Dealer can provide you with information about the Maserati recommended “Windshield Washer Fluid” with antifreeze, available in the “Genuine Accessories” catalog. 7 • Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (refer to “Refillings” in section “Features and Specifications”) and operate the system for a few seconds to flush out the residual water. • When refilling the washer fluid reservoir, apply some washer fluid to 318 WARNING! • Commercially available windshield washer solvents are flammable. They could ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or when working around the windshield washer system. • Do not drive with the windshield washer reservoir empty: the action of the washer is essential for improving visibility when driving. WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that which are know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passengervehicle Engine Oil Level Check To assure proper lubrication of your vehicle's engine, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level. If the warning light illuminates and the related message of low oil level displays, or during scheduled services (see “Scheduled Maintenance Service” in this section) it is necessary to check the engine oil level. Maintenance and Care The best time to check the engine oil level is about five minutes after a fully warmed up engine is shut off or before starting the engine after it has sat overnight. In both cases the vehicle should be parked on level ground to improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. CAUTION! • Do not top up with oil with different characteristics than the engine one (refer to “Refillings” in section “Features and Specifications”). • Overfilling or underfilling the oil pan will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. • Do not add any supplemental materials to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product, and its performance may be impaired by supplemental additives. • Remove the dipstick and clean it with a dry and clean cloth. • Re-insert the dipstick completely and remove: the oil level should maintain between the “MIN” and “MAX” reference ranges (SAFE range). • Adding 1.1 Quart (1 liter) of oil when the level is at the bottom of the SAFE range will result in the level being at the top of the SAFE range. • Return the cap and dipstick to their position and wait for a few minutes to allow the oil to reach the oil pan. • Check the level again. Engine Oil Filter Replacement • If a refilling is necessary: unscrew the filler neck cap. The engine oil filter should be replaced with a new filter at every oil change. Contact the Authorized Maserati Dealer to perform this service. 7 Automatic Transmission Oil Check Contact the Authorized Maserati Dealer for the oil level check. 319 Maintenance and Care Fluid Level Check for Coolant Transmission System The coolant contained in the bottle of this system is the same as the one used for the cooling system of the engine. For the preparation of the mixture of water and antifreeze and for the control of the level, proceed as shown in the “Engine Coolant Level Check” of this chapter. Engine Air Filters Replacement Contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer to have the air filters replaced. A/C Air Filter Replacement This filter performs mechanic/ electrostatic air filtering, provided that windows and doors are closed. The filter is located under the hood in the external A/C system air inlet, on the passenger side of the vehicle, next to the windshield wipers. To replace the filter during the scheduled maintenance services or after the vehicle has been heavily used on dusty roads, proceed as follows: • Remove the access door in the cowl screen by pressing the retaining clips indicated. • Remove the used filter slipping it off from within the air intake. • Install the new filter with arrows pointing in the direction of airflow, which is toward the rear of the vehicle (text and arrows on the filter will indicate this). 7 • Close the filter retaining cover and reinstall the access door. • Unsnap both ends and lift the filter retaining cover. 320 Maintenance and Care CAUTION! Failure to replace the filter may considerably reduce the air conditioning and heating system efficiency. Wiper Maintenance and Blades Replacement Windshield Wiper Arms Lifting When the windshield wiper arms are in rest position it is not possible to check or replace the blades as they remain under the engine hood. To service the blades it is necessary to move the wiper arms in “Service” position (see chapter “Wipers and Washers” in section “Understanding the Vehicle”). In this way it is possible to lift the arms for cleaning or replacing the wiper blades. WARNING! It is dangerous to operate or service the wiper blades with the windshield wipers in an active position (any position different from “OFF”) and with the ignition switch in the RUN position. The rain sensors may suddenly activate the wipers. Always use the “Service” position for any intervention on the windshield wiper blades. Windshield Wiper Maintenance Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depending on the geographical area’s weather conditions where the car is used and frequency of use. Poor performance of blades may be present with chattering, marks on the glass, water lines or wet spots. If any of these conditions are present, clean the wiper blades or replace if necessary. Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield/rear window glasses periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove accumulations of salt or road film. Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use washer fluid when using the wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry windshield. Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc. Spray nozzles If the jet does not work, first check that there is fluid in the tank (see paragraph “Level checks” in this section) then check that the nozzles are not clogged. Windshield Wiper Blades Replacement • Move the wiper arms into “Service” position, (see chapter “Windshield Wipers and Washers” in section “Understanding the Vehicle”) and lift them. • Press the indicated button, slip off the blade support from the arm and replace it. 7 • Return the blade to its original position on the windshield. • Turn the multifunction lever to one of the automatic settings (see chapter “Windshield Wipers and Washers” in section “Understanding 321 Maintenance and Care the Vehicle”) and move the ignition switch to the RUN position: the wiper arms will return to the resting position. NOTE: Due to the difficulty of this operation, we recommend that you contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer for replacement of the blades.

A/C System Maintenance For the best performance, the air conditioning system should be checked and serviced by an Authorized Maserati Dealer at the beginning of the warm season. This service should include cleaning of the condenser, check of the drive belt tension and a performance test. During the winter, the air conditioning system should be operated at least once a month for about 10 minutes. CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your air conditioning system as the chemicals can damage your air conditioning components. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that which are know to the State of Maintenance and Care California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passengervehicle WARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air conditioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, causing injuries. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs. • The air conditioning system contains refrigerant under high pressure. To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to the system, adding refrigerant or any repair requiring lines to be disconnected should be done by an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Periodically remove any leaves and insects that may build up and obstruct the inlet of external air in the air conditioning system through the grille present underneath the rear part of the hood. To access the grille, lift the hood as described in “Hood Operation” in section “Before Starting”. Wheels Maintenance Tires Maintenance CAUTION! To obtain the best performances and the longest mileage from the tires, take the following precautions during the first 310 mi (500 km): • do not drive at the vehicle’s maximum speed; • drive at low speed on curves; • avoid sudden steering; • avoid sudden braking; • avoid sudden acceleration; • do not drive at high speeds for too long. The tires inflation pressure must correspond to the prescribed values (see the chapter “Tire Inflation Pressure” in section “Features and Specifications”) and should be checked only when the tires have cooled down. In fact, the pressure increases as the tire temperature progressively increases. Never reduce the pressure if tires are hot (see “Tires – General Information” chapter in section “Driving”). 7 339 Maintenance and Care Insufficient tire inflating pressure can cause tire overheating and possible internal damage. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage it. 7 340 Impacts with curbs, holes, and obstacles in the road, and prolonged trips on rough roads can cause tire damage which may not be visible to the naked eye. Check your tires regularly for any signs of damage (e.g. scratches, cuts, cracks, bulges, etc.). If sharp objects penetrate the tires, they can cause structural damage which is only visible when the tire is removed. In any case, any possible damage must be inspected by an experienced technician, as it may seriously reduce the tire life. Remember that tires deteriorate with time, even if used little or not at all. Cracks in the tire tread and sides, alongside possible bulging, are a sign of deterioration. Winter Tires WARNING! • Check the inflating pressure of the tires when cold, at least every two weeks and before long trips. • Have old tires inspected by an experienced technician, to make sure they can still be used safely. If the same tire has been on your vehicle for 4 or 5 years, have it inspected anyway by an experienced technician. • Never fit tires of uncertain origin. • “Directional” tires have an arrow on their side showing the rolling direction. To keep the best performance when replacing a tire, make sure that the rolling direction corresponds to the one shown by the arrow. • During the tire life, the rolling direction used for the first fitting should always be observed, also in case of “nondirectional” tires. • Check the depth of the tire tread at regular intervals. The thinner is the tread, the greater is the risk of skidding. • Drive carefully on wet roads to decrease the risk of aquaplaning. These tires are specially designed for driving on snow and ice and are fitted to replace the ones supplied with the vehicle. The specific features of the winter tires lead to lower performance under normal environmental conditions or on long highway trips, compared to the standard tires. Therefore, their use should be limited to the situations and performance for which they have been type-approved. The Authorized Maserati Dealer can provide all necessary information about fitting winter tires on the vehicle. NOTE: • We recommend fitting winter tires on the vehicle at temperatures below 45 °F (7°C) since the driving performance of summer tires is reduced at low temperatures. Summer tires may be permanently damaged at extremely low temperatures. • Comply with all state and local laws governing snow tire and tread depth requirements. Maintenance and Care Wheel Rims Maintenance All wheel trims should be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water. To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use a nonabrasive, non-acidic cleaner. Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use oven cleaner that may affect and damage the brake calipers. Avoid automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel rim protective finish. Bodywork Maintenance and Care Protection from Atmospheric Agents The main causes of corrosion are: • atmospheric pollution; • salinity and humidity in the atmosphere (marine areas or a damp climate); • seasonal environmental conditions; • salt scattered on the roadbed to melt ice and snow. The abrasive action of wind-carried atmospheric dust and sand, mud and stones should not be underestimated. On this vehicle, Maserati has adopted the best technological solutions to protect the bodywork from corrosion. The main measures are: • paint products and systems that give the vehicle particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion; • use of galvanized (or pre-treated) metal sheets which are highly resistant to corrosion in the most exposed parts; • spraying of the underbody, engine compartment, insides of wheel housings, and other structures with wax products having high protective power; • spraying of plastic materials, with a protective function, in the most exposed points: underneath the doors, inside part of the mud guards, edges, etc.; • use of ventilated box sections, coated with protective wax products, to avoid condensation and trapped water which could encourage the formation of internal rust. Useful Advice to Keep the Bodywork in Good Condition Paint The paintwork does not only have an aesthetic function but also protects the underlying metal sheets. In the event of abrasions or deep scratches, we recommend to have the necessary touch-ups made immediately, to avoid any rust formation. Touch-ups do not feature particular difficulties, even on metallic finishes. For all paint touch-ups, use only original products indicated on the plate applied on the lower left side of the hood. 7 341 Maintenance and Care NOTE: The use of alcohol-based products for cleaning the metal surfaces in the engine compartment and/or the trunk may deteriorate the protective paint. It is recommended to use water-based products. Car Wash For correct washing: Normal paint maintenance consists in washing, the frequency of which depends on the conditions of use and of the environment. For example, if driving the vehicle in areas where there is high atmospheric pollution or the roads are spread with anti-freeze salt, it is advisable to wash the vehicle more frequently. 7 342 ENVIRONMENTAL! Detergents pollute water. Therefore the vehicle should be washed in areas equipped for the collection and purification of the fluids used for washing. • wet the bodywork with a low pressure water jet; • pass a sponge with a light detergent solution over the bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge; • rinse well with water and dry with an air jet or chamois leather. When drying, take particular care with the parts that are less visible, such as the door and lids bays, headlight edges, in which water can be trapped more easily. You are recommended not to take the vehicle immediately into an enclosed environment, but leave it in the open air so as to allow the water to evaporate. Do not wash the vehicle after it has been left in the sun or when the hood is hot: the paint gloss could be affected. External plastic parts must be cleaned with the same procedure followed for the normal washing of the bodywork. Avoid, as far as possible, parking the vehicle under trees; the resinous substances that very often drop from the trees give the paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility of originating corrosive processes. It is important that the drain holes in the lower sides of the doors, rocker panels, and trunk bottom be kept clear and open. CAUTION! • Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly, since their acidity is particularly corrosive. • To provide better protection for the paint, polish the vehicle at intervals with a suitable product leaving a protective film on the paint. • If the vehicle is washed using high-pressure water jets or cleaners, it is important that the nozzle of the jet be kept at a distance of at least 16 in (40 cm) from the bodywork to avoid damaging it. Maintenance and Care Glass Surfaces All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis with any commercial household-type glass cleaner. Never use an abrasive type cleaner. Use caution when cleaning the inside rear window equipped with electric defrosters. Do not use scrapers or other sharp instrument that may scratch the elements. When cleaning the rearview mirror, spray cleaner on the towel or rag that you are using. Do not spray cleaner directly on the mirror. Labels can be peeled off after soaking with warm water. When cleaning is performed, keep all metal objects at a safe distance from the window. Cleaning Headlights Your vehicle has plastic headlights that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass headlights. Plastic is not as scratch-resistant as glass and therefore different lens cleaning procedures must be followed. To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution followed by rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel wool or other aggressive material to clean the lenses. Moldings and Aluminum Trims • For cleaning moldings and aluminum trims, avoid the use of acidic or alkaline cleaning agents that can destroy the protecting surface treatment. • After washing aluminum trim with warm water, apply the cleaning agent with a clean tissue or a soft sponge on the surface. Do not use any other equipment such as brushes, steel wool, abrasives or any other equipment for cleaning. • After cleaning, please rinse the aluminum trim with a lot of clear water. • While cleaning in the car, please make sure that the moldings and aluminum trims only get in contact with soft brushes or textiles. Engine Compartment At the end of each winter season, carefully wash the engine compartment, remembering to avoid directing the jet of water for too long on the electric parts. To perform this operation, you must contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer. Pre-Short Drop Function When in a car wash, if the driver keeps the RKE Transmitter in his/her pocket, or in any place outside the vehicle within 3.3 ft (1 m) distance, the front windows will perform a pre-short drop. This is a shorter drop compared to the normal short drop performed by the “Passive Entry” function when you grab the door handle to enter the vehicle. In order to prevent water from entering the vehicle between the upper edge of the glass window and the door outline on the bodywork, while the car is being washed, it is advisable to disable the “Passive Entry” from the MTC+ System, for further information refer to chapter “MTC+ Settings” in section “Dashboard Instruments and controls”. When deactivating the “Passive Entry”, also the “Pre-Short Drop” function will be disabled. 7 343 Maintenance and Care Interior Maintenance and Care 7 Interior trim should be cleaned starting with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners. The leather upholstery can be best preserved by regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and damage the leather upholstery and should be removed promptly with a damp cloth. Stubborn soils stains can be removed easily with a soft cloth and appropriate products. Avoid soaking the leather upholstery with any liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or ammonia-based cleaners to clean your leather upholstery. Application of a leather conditioner is not required to maintain the original condition. Check at regular intervals that there is no water trapped under the mats (due to drips off shoes, umbrellas etc.) which may cause the metal parts to oxidize. CAUTION! Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents to clean the instrument cluster's 344 transparent dome, the MTC+ display, the analog clock and the leather upholstery. We recommended the use of “Car Care” products approved by Maserati for the maintenance and care of the interior. Leather Upholstery Treatment Have the leather upholstery only treated, as provided in the Scheduled Service Plan, by an Authorized Maserati Dealer which has the required specific products. Parts in Premium Quality Wood Remove any dirt with a damp cloth. NOTE: The Authorized Maserati Dealer can provide you with any information about the Maserati approved “Car Care” products, available in the “Genuine Accessories” range. WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that which are know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle.

During parking, this check must be carried out every three weeks. Recharge the battery if the open circuit voltage is lower than 12.2 V. • Check that the parking brake is NOT engaged. • Do not empty the engine cooling system. • Clean and protect the painted parts applying protective wax. • Clean and protect polished metal parts with special products available on the market. • Cover the vehicle with a long cloth in breathable fabric (available from an Authorized Maserati Dealer). Do not use thick plastic sheets, which do not allow the humidity on the vehicle surface to evaporate. • Inflate the tires up to a pressure which must be 14.5 psi (1 bar) higher than the normally prescribed one, and check it at regular intervals. NOTE: The Authorized Maserati Dealer can provide you with any information about the available “Indoor and Outdoor Car Covers”, available in the “Genuine Accessories” range. WARNING! The tire pressure must be brought back to the prescribed value before reusing the vehicle (see “Tire Inflation Pressure” in section “Features and Specifications”). Restarting the Vehicle Before restarting the vehicle after a long period of inactivity, we recommend that you carry out the following operations. • Check the tires for pressure and for any damages, cuts or cracks. If this is the case, have them replaced. • Do not dry-rub the external surface of the vehicle: use a damp cloth. • Visually inspect if there are any fluid leaks (oil, brake and clutch fluid, engine coolant etc.). • Have the engine oil and filter replaced. • Check the fluid levels in the brake system, as well as the engine coolant level. • Check the air filters and have them replaced if necessary. • Reconnect the battery after checking the charge status (refer to “Maintenance-Free Battery” in this section) and perform the initializing procedure if applicable. You can consult the paragraph “Battery Reconnection” in this chapter for further information on this subject. 7 345 Maintenance and Care • With the transmission in N (Neutral), let the engine idle for several minutes. WARNING! The engine idle must be performed outdoors. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide which is strongly toxic and potentially lethal. 7 346 WARNING! California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including such as, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates and lead, that which are know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passengervehicle Battery Statement Battery Statement Status of Charge To avoid problems with ignition and/or the electrical system in general when you are driving, the battery charge status is constantly maintained and guaranteed by the vehicle's recharge circuit; the main component of which is the alternator. This circuit is only able to supply voltage to the battery when the vehicle is traveling. The warning light on the instrument cluster, will indicate any malfunctions in the recharge circuit or an insufficient battery charge status (example in figure). The vehicle contains advanced electronic systems, such as, for example, the alarm system and various electronic control modules, which consume power even when the ignition switch is in the OFF position and the vehicle is not being used. Therefore, it is fundamental that the battery is properly charged to ensure that the engine starts properly and that all the electrical/electronic systems in the vehicle work efficiently. Maintaining Battery Charge If you perform short daily trips (approximately 10 miles/16 km), which correspond to an annual total of 4000 miles/6000 km, or when the vehicle is not going to be used for one week or more, Maserati recommends connecting the vehicle to a battery charger, to save you the trouble of having to recharge the battery. The battery charger will keep the battery charged properly and at the correct voltage levels required by the systems and devices in the vehicle. Before using and/or connecting the battery charger, carefully follow the instructions provided. If you do not use a battery charger to prevent the battery from going dead when you are not going to use the vehicle for long periods of time, you need to check and recharge the battery at least once every three weeks. Make this check if you perform Maintenance and Care short daily trips (approximately 10 miles/16 km) which correspond to an annual total of 4000 miles/6000 km. Please note that allowing the battery to go dead repeatedly can cause premature wear on the internal cells and greatly reduce their life, leading to problems with the ignition system and other electrical/electronic systems. The Authorized Maserati Dealer is available to advise you on how to recharge your battery correctly and give you useful information on battery care and maintenance. NOTE: The Authorized Maserati Dealer can provide you with any information about the Maserati approved “Battery Charger and Conditioner”, available in the “Genuine Accessories” range. WARNING! The process of charging or recharging the battery produces hydrogen, a dangerous gas that can explode and cause serious injuries. When charging or recharging the battery, follow the recommended precautions at all times: • always charge or recharge the battery in a well-ventilated environment; • never charge or recharge a battery that has frozen; • ensure that any sparks or open flames are nowhere near the battery while it is charging; • before using a charger to charge or maintain the battery charge status, carefully follow the instructions provided to ensure the charger is connected to the battery safely and correctly. 7 347 Maintenance and Care 348 8 – Features and Specifications Refillings . . . . . . . . . .
