Rain Sensing Windshield
Wipers This feature detects moisture on the
windshield through an internal
rearview mirror integrated sensor,
which automatically activates the
relative wipers.
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.
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

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:
Warning/Indicator Lights of Set
Modes/Functions” paragraph in this
chapter).
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 illuminated 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 multifunction
lever behind the steering wheel.
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.Dashboard Instruments and Controls
