MASERATI LEVANTE 2019 Owners Manual

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
liftgate, between the number plate
lights.
When the shift lever is shifted to R
(Reverse) position, the top view and
the rear view of the surrounding area
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
which images to display according to 4
possible settings.

Front cross path view
Front view and top view
In any shift lever condition, when
“Surround Camera” screen is
displayed, a pop-up message will
appear in the upper part for 5 seconds
to advise the driver to check the
surrounding area before any
manoeuvre.
With transmission 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”.

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
present under the images: the edges
of the pressed button will highlight.
The button will highlight and the type
of setting will appear on each image.
In the top view, the vehicle is
represented as it is during the
maneuver (see example in the figure),
therefore any open doors will be
visible in the image.
To display also the dynamic lines of the
area you are setting, it is necessary to
set this function by accessing the
“Settings” menu on MTC+, at “Safety
& Driving Assistant” item, by using the
dynamic gridlines action menu. 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 transmission lever
is in D (Drive), N (Neutral) and P (Park)
position by using the surround view
camera delay menu. For further
information, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.

88

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.

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 known 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

Safety Tips Transporting Passengers WARNING!
• Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury.
• Never ride in a cargo area, inside of
a vehicle.
• Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt

Exhaust Gas WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it
can make you unconscious and can
eventually poison you. To avoid
breathing (CO), follow these safety
tips:
• Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into the
vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
• If you are required to drive with the
liftgate open, make sure that all
windows are closed and the climate
control blowers switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recirculation
mode.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide
entry into the
passenger
compartment is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system. Whenever detecting a change in the
sound of the exhaust system or
eventual exhaust fumes inside the
vehicle have the Authorized Maserati
Dealer inspect the complete exhaust
system and adjacent body areas for
broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment.

vehicle Vehicle Safety Checks Seat Belts
• Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately.
• Do not disassemble or modify the
system.
• If the belt has been sharply pulled,
for example as the result of an
accident, the safety belt, together
with the anchoring devices, the
anchoring device mounting screws
and the pretensioner must be
completely replaced. Even if the belt
does not present any exterior signs
of wear or damage, it may have lost
its restraining properties.

front side windows. Contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
if your defroster is inoperable.
Floor Mat
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your
vehicle.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the available Maserati floor
mats included in the “Genuine
Accessories” range.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
• Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the proper
fasteners.
• Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals.
• Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already installed
floor mats. Additional floor mats
and other coverings will reduce the size of the pedal area and interfere
with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly
reinstall and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver footwell
while the vehicle is moving. Objects
can become trapped under the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Mounting posts must be properly
installed, if not equipped from the
factory. Failure to properly follow
floor mat installation or mounting
can cause interference with the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal
operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle.
Tires
•
Examine tires for excessive tread
wear and uneven wear patterns.
• Check for stones, nails, glass, or
other objects lodged in the tread or
sidewall.
• Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
• Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges.
• Check the wheel nuts for tightness.Before Starting

• Check the tires (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” chapter in section
“Features and Specifications”) for
proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights and Indicator Lights
• Have someone observe the operation
of exterior lights while you operate
the controls (see “Lights” chapter in
section “Understanding the
Vehicle”).
• Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument
cluster (see “Instrument Cluster”
chapter in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).
Door Latches
• Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking of doors and liftgate (see
“Unlock the Vehicle with Key fob”
chapter in this section).
Fluid Leaks
• Check area under vehicle after
overnight parking for recent fluid
leaks (oil, fuel, etc.).
• If gasoline fumes are detected or
fluid leaks are suspected, contact the
Authorized Maserati Dealer . WARNING!
