Automatic Headlights This system automatically turns the
headlights on or off according to
ambient light intensity detected by the
twilight sensor positioned on the inner
surface of the windshield, over the
rear view mirror. To turn the system
on, rotate the lights switch clockwise
to “AUTO” position.
When the automatic system is
activated, the headlight time delay
feature is activated as well. This means
the headlights will stay on for up to 90
seconds after you place the ignition
device into OFF position.
To turn the automatic system off,
move the lights switch out of “AUTO”
position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before
the headlights turn on in automatic
mode.
WARNING!
The responsibility for turning on the
lights, depending on the daylight and
regulations in force in the country of
use, always lies with the driver. The
automatic system for switching on
and off the external lights is to be considered as an aid for the driver. If
necessary, switch the lights including
the rear fog lights on and off
manually.
Headlights On with Wipers
When
this feature
is active, the
headlights will turn on approximately
10 seconds after activation of the
wipers, if the lights switch is placed in
the “AUTO” position. The headlights
will additionally turn off by
deactivation of the wipers if previously
activated with this function.
NOTE:
The headlights with wipers feature
may be turned on and off using the
MTC+ System, refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.

illumination for up to 90 seconds
(programmable) when leaving your
vehicle in an unlit area. To activate the
delay feature, place the ignition switch
in the OFF or ACC position while the
headlights are still on. Then turn off
the headlights within 45 seconds. The delay interval begins when the
lights switch is turned off (position
“0”). If you turn the headlights or
position lights on, or place the ignition
switch in RUN , the system will cancel
the delay.
If you turn the headlights off (“0”
position) before the ignition, they will
turn off in the normal mode.
NOTE:
• To activate this feature the lights
must be turned off (“0” position)
within 45 seconds of placing the
ignition switch in the OFF or ACC
position.
• Once the delay feature is active, any
additional shifting of the light switch
will cancel the feature.
• The headlight delay time is
programmable using the MTC+
System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• If the low beam bulbs/LEDs are active
due to “Headlights with Wipers”,
then the headlamps delay feature
will not be activated when the
ignition switch is set in OFF position.Understanding the Vehicle

Automatic High Beam (for
versions/markets, where
provided) The Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of the forward-facing
digital camera located behind the
rear-view mirror, which is the same
one used for example by the Lane
Keeping Assist - LKA system on vehicles
with ADAS systems.
This camera detects the environmental
luminosity, the headlamps of
oncoming vehicles and the tail lamps
of proceding vehicles in the front area.
In these cases, the system
automatically switches from high
beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
Futhermore, the digital camera is able
to detect the urban areas and the
inhabited centers and to turn off the
high beams when driving near of one
of them.
The properly working for this feature
(if all the other conditions are met) is
ensured between 21.7 mph (35 km/h)
and 155 mph (250 km/h). Activation Mode
To activate Automatic High Beam
feature:
• Shift the multifunction lever onward
.
• Put the light switch in “AUTO”
position.
• Touch the “Controls” soft-key in the
lower part of the MTC+ display.
• Within 15 seconds, touch the "Auto
High Beam Assist" soft-key to turn
on the feature. • Within 15 seconds, touch the "Auto
High Beam Assist" soft-key a second
time to turn it off.
After these steps, the green indicator
on the upper right side of the TFT
display comes on.

You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
multifunction lever toward you. This
will turn on the high beams headlights
until the lever is released.
Flashing occurs also with lights off
(lights switch in position “0”) if the
ignition switch is RUN position.
CAUTION!
The high beams can only be switched
on manually by pushing the
multifunction lever forward.
WARNING!
If the high beams are activated, they
will turn on automatically every time
the low beams are switched on either
manually or automatically. We
recommend therefore that you switch them off when they are no longer
necessary and every time the twilight
sensor deactivates the external lights.
Automatic High Beams (if equipped)
The
Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of the forward digital
camera mounted behind the rearview
mirror, which is the same one used
also by the Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) system. This camera detects
vehicle specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is
out of view. Furthermore, the digital
camera is able to detect the urban
areas and the inhabited centers and to
turn off the high beams when driving
near of one of them.
The high beam can be turned back on
if there are all the necessary
conditions and if the vehicle speed
exceed 21.7 mph (35 km/h).
The “Auto High Beam Assist” feature
can be turned on or off using the
MTC+ System. Refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls" for further
information. The function is enabled only if the
brightness sensor detects the right
lighting conditions.
To activate this function:
• Shift the multifunction lever onward
.
• Put the headlight switch in “AUTO”
position.
• Enable the “Auto High Beam Assist”
function on MTC+.

NOTE:
Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of vehicles in
the field of view will cause headlights
to remain on longer (closer to the
vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield or
camera lens will cause the system to
function improperly.
If the windshield or Automatic High
Beam headlight control mirror is
replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed
to ensure proper performance. See
your local Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Interior Lights The interior and exterior approach
lights turn on and off when
entering/exiting the vehicle (see
“Illuminated Entry/Exit” in section
"Before Starting" for further
information).
The brightness of the lights can be
