Soft Top
NOTE:
By soft top “opening” we
mean folding the soft top
into the rear luggage
compartment.
By soft top “closing” we
mean the opposite.
Precautions
Before and during the soft top
operation observe the following
precautions.
WARNING!
•Before opening or closing the soft
top, always check that no one is in
the way, as impact with the soft top
may cause injury. Also check that no
objects stand in the way of the soft
top, as impact may cause damage to
both the soft top and the object.
•The movement of the soft top with
the engine running must be
performed outdoor. Exhaust gases
contain carbon monoxide which is
strongly toxic and potentially lethal.•In case of hazard, release the soft
top button, which stops its
movement.
•Keep your hands away from the soft
top levers, the soft top compartment
and the upper edge of the
windshield.
•Before operating the soft top, make
sure that no passengers are sitting in
the rear seats.
•Never operate or act on a soft top
that is performing an automatic
movement cycle.
CAUTION!
• Do not open the soft top when it is
wet, as the damp that would form in
the soft top housing might cause
permanent damage to the structure
or stains or mold in the canvas.
Should it need to be opened, do not
leave it sitting in the housing for
more than a day.
• Open the soft top when it is dirty, as
both the canvas and the rear window
might be damaged when it is folded.
• Do not open the soft top if there is
ice or snow on it. Should it need to
be opened, remove the snow or iceand do not use sharp or pointed
objects.
• Do not place objects on the soft top
as they might fall and cause damage
and injury when it is moved.
• Do not place any objects in the soft
top housing.
• Do not fasten roof-racks or similar on
the soft top.
• When closing the soft top, never
start driving before the soft top has
completed the closing cycle and has
locked on the windshield frame.
• Only open or close the soft top when
the vehicle is stationary, otherwise it
might not fully open or close. For
example, if you start moving the soft
top when you are standing at a
traffic light and you start driving
before the soft top has completed its
opening or closing cycle, you can
complete the operation by driving
slowly (do not exceed 19 mph -
30 km/h) and holding the soft top
movement switch pushed until the
process has been completed.
• If you are driving at high speeds,
vacuum might be created in the
passenger compartment and the soft
top might start “wobbling”; to solve

time, the power windows will resume
normal functioning.
Soft Top Manual Closing
Operation
In case of need, the soft top may be
closed manually.
WARNING!
•Manual operation of the soft top for
emergency closing requires the
presence of two persons in order to
prevent personal injury or damage
to the car.
•When moving the soft top by hand,
take the greatest care as its movable
parts could squeeze or trap objects
or parts of your body.

Calibration Selection
The driver can select, in relation to
road surface conditions, vehicle speed,
driving style and comfort, one of the
two calibration levels provided by the
system: normal or sports-style.
•Normal calibration, active when
SPORT drive mode is disabled
("SPORT" button not pressed), favors
comfort and higher driving stability
with low and average grip
conditions.
•Sport-style calibration, active when
SPORT drive mode is enabled
("SPORT" button pressed) , favors
wheel drive and permits a
dynamic-style driving with optimal
road holding.
Whenever the engine is started, the
system automatically activates
NORMAL drive mode, even if SPORT
drive mode was selected before the
engine was last turned off.
The sport-style calibration can be
selected only with the key in the
ignition switch inMAR (ON)position
and it is enabled by pressing button
"SPORT", even while driving.
When SPORT drive mode is activated,
the word “SPORT” on the instrument
cluster display and the LED on the
button illuminate.WARNING!
SPORT drive mode should not be
activated if the road surface is rough
or slippery.
The electronic suspension control
system works in combination with the
ESC system.
When the suspension is set to normal
calibration, stability is increased under
medium and low grip conditions,
while when it is set to sport-style
calibration, the ESC system optimizes a
sportier driving.
WARNING!
In low- and medium-grip conditions
(e.g., rain, snow, ice, sand, etc.) it is
advisable not to use SPORT drive
mode, even with the ESC system
enabled.
Malfunction Indicators
If one or more electric components in
the system prove to be malfunctioning
while driving, the ECU illuminates the
amber warning light accompanied
by the message “Check suspensions”
on the display. In addition, the ECU
calibrates the shock absorbers to apreset value, thus ensuring a safe
vehicle set up.
Should the malfunction involve one
shock absorber only, this will no
longer be controlled by the ECU and
will therefore remain set as it was
when the fault occurred. It is
therefore possible for one of the four
shock absorbers to work with a fixed
calibration, different from that of the
other ones.
In any case, safe and secure vehicle
driving is always ensured at low
speeds.
CAUTION!
In the event of a malfunction in the
suspension control electronic system,
which will be indicated by the
illumination of the amber warning
light on the display while driving,
keep a moderate speed and have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible by
anAuthorized Maserati Dealer.
If a malfunction occurs while driving,
and this is signaled by the illumination
of the
amber warning light on the
display, it is advisable to stop the
vehicle as soon as possible, turn the
key in the ignition switch toSTOP
(OFF)position and then restart the
engine.
