Electronically-controlled air shutter, located in front of the heat exchangers group.
Closing the shutter improves the aerodynamics of the vehicle and also dampens the
noise emitted from the engine compartment. The shutter mechanism is made up of 10
flaps, placed to the left and right of the central electrical actuator that controls their
mechanically synchronized motion.
Note that, after a battery disconnection
or removal or replacement of the shutter
actuator, the actuator will automatically
perform an opening/closing cycle to selflearn the flap position.
WARNING: Never attempt to move the shutter flaps manually. This
could possibly cause damage to the AGS operation and personal injury

folded after the last lock action, then
they will automatically unfold when
the ignition device is set on ACC position.
• If the mirrors were manually folded,
by door switch, before a lock action, they
will need to be manually unfolded to
reactivate the automatic feature.

Overview
• Four air springs
• Two cylinders (air reservoir)
• A compressor
• A valve block
• Air pipes
• A dedicated ECU (ASCM)
• Four ride height sensors
• A rocker switch used by the driver to
control the system
Left front
Air Suspension Control Module
(ASCM)
The ASCM is located behind the
passenger side trim panel of the
luggage compartment. It controls all
the components of the air suspension
system, including those that are part
of the Skyhook continuous damping
control system (accelerometers and
damper control valves). Ride height
sensors are used to control the whole
air suspension system properly, each
wheel has a dedicated ride height
sensor, connected directly to the
(ASCM).
Ride height and driving speed
The air suspension system
provides five different ride heights
for driving plus an additional one
(completely lowered) to ease
getting in and out of the vehicle.
Right Rear
• Off road 2 (+40mm) is the
highest setting, useful during
fording and in harsh off road
trails. Due to stability concerns,
this height is only available below
40km/25mph.

• Off road 1 (+25mm) is the default
height associated with the Off
road drive mode. Ride height and
drive mode automatically reverts
to Normal above 90km/55mph.
• Normal (reference height) is the
default height for all other drive
modes.
• Aero 1 (-20mm) lowers the vehicle
to enhance its aerodynamics, it is
activated automatically above
130km/80mph and can also be
activated manually.
• Aero 2 (-35mm) is the only ride
height that cannot be selected by
the driver, being instead
automatically engaged above
185km/100mph.
• Park (-45mm) is the lowest setting
and it is part of the easy entry/exit
strategy. It is available below
24km/15mph and it is also
activated automatically when the
gear is shifted to P (this can be set
via the MTC+).
NOTE: The air suspension system is under
permanent power supply and could possibly
perform ride height adjustments to keep the
correct vehicle ride-height even in key-off
conditions.
Standard air suspensions
All Levante models comes standard
with air spring suspension system
with automatic level control and six
different ride height levels.
The system is always combined
with Skyhook continuous damping
control.
Suspension is identified by the
color of the four shock absorbers.

This mode must be checked for “ON” prior
to loading vehicle on to the flat bed and
unchecked to set to “OFF” after arrival to
destination.
Wheel Alignment Mode
Select this mode to prevent automatic air
suspension alignment when performing
wheel alignments.

Automatic Start&Stop System
The Maserati Start&Stop system
allows the engine to automatically
switch off under certain paramters,
when the vehicle stops and to restart
when the driver intends to drive. In
order for the Start&Stop to activate,
the vehicle must be stationary and
the brake pedal adequately pressed.
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).
Start&Stop Deactivated
• When SPORT drive mode is activated.
• When
ESC drive mode is OFF.
• When ride height is set to Off Road 1
or Off Road 2.
• If it has been disabled through the
main menu option.
Start&Stop Not Active
The Start&Stop
function does not operate under the
following conditions:
• When the driver’s seat belt is
unbuckled (see example in picture).

• 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.
• When the vehicle is maneuvering:
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 are not at operating
temperature.
• When the external temperature is
too cold.
• When the battery charge is low.
• When the previous stop had just
happened (few seconds) and the
minimum speed has not yet been
achieved.
• Shortly after R (Reverse) has been
selected or when driving under a
certain low speeds.
• When the hood is open.
• Start&Stop system malfunction is
present.
Start&Stop Function Disabling
Can be turned of by using the right
steering wheel switch by selecting
“Start & Stop” in the instrument panel
cluster, a message indicator will show
the amber warning light.
