MASERATI GHIBLI 2019 Owners Manual

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
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.

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.
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 byBefore Starting

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 . If a failure message is displayed on the
instrument cluster, contact the
Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Cleaning the Park Assist
Sensors 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.
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
(Continued)Before Starting

(Continued)
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.Before Starting
