plug the water drains. In winter
make sure the air intake is clear of
ice, slush, and snow.
• The temperature can be displayed in
U.S. or Metric units by selecting the
“Units” customer programmable
feature. See “MTC+ Settings” in this
section.
• Any time you store your vehicle or
keep it stationary (i.e., during
vacation) for two weeks or more, run
the air conditioning system at idle
for about five minutes in the fresh
air by high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication
and minimize the possibility of
compressor damage when the system
is started again.
A/C Filter The climate control system filters
outside air containing dust, pollen and
some odors. Strong odors cannot be
totally removed by A/C filter at the
entrance of the air climate system. See

“Maintenance and Care” for filter
replacement instructions. Phone and Voice Controls
on Steering Wheel The commands on the right side of the
steering wheel activate/deactivate the

pair a phone and to learn all available
functions refer to the MTC+ guide.
NOTE:
On the Maserati website, at
www.maserati.com , or through an
Authorized Maserati Dealer you may
consult the list of telephones that are
compatible with the MTC+, and their
level of compatibility. The voice command communication
system is fully integrated with the
vehicle's audio system.
The volume can be adjusted from the
upper knob on the central console (see

or from the steering wheel radio
controls (see “Audio Controls” in this

If the turn signal is then activated, and
it corresponds to an alert present on
that side of the vehicle, an audible
chime will also be sounded: in the
same moment the warning light will
start flashing.
Whenever a turn signal and detected
vehicle or object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the
radio volume will be reduced (if the
radio is on).
NOTE:
If the hazard flashers are on, the BSA
system will issue the appropriate visual
alert only.
When the system is in RCP mode, the
system shall respond with both visual
and audible alerts when a detected
vehicle or object is present. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio
(if on) is also muted.
Right/left turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP status always
requests the chime.
Blind Spot Assist Off
When this function is turned off from
the MTC+, there will be no visual or
audible alerts from either the BSA or
RCP subsystems.
NOTE:
The BSA system will store the current
operating mode when the vehicle is
shut off. Each time the vehicle is
started, the previously-stored mode
will be recalled and used.
System Temporarily Unavailable
The blind spot system will become
temporarily unavailable and the
instrument cluster display will show
the message “Blind Spot Alert
Temporarily Unavailable” when the
vehicle enters a radio quite zone
(example the areas around radio
telescopes).
The warning light on the outside
rear-view mirrors will be lit up and stay
lit until the vehicle exits the zone. System is Faulty
The BSA system cannot properly
operate due to a fault of its
components, or because the area on
the rear bumper fascia where the
radar sensors are located is dirty. In
these cases the amber warning light
and the related message will be
displayed on the instrument cluster.
In these cases do not use the system
and have the vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Maserati Dealer .

wheel, the instrument cluster will
display a series of warnings to alert
the driver to return their hands to the
steering wheel. There will also be
audible chimes. After a set amount of
time, HAS will cancel if the driver’s
hands are not returned to the steering
wheel.
When the system does not sense the
hands on the steering wheel for a few
seconds (3 – 5 seconds) or more (up to
10 seconds), it tries to draw the
attention of the driver by showing,
even when the display is not in the
"Driver Assist" page, the
symbol
with the figure of the hands in the
centre of the display. According to
such time frames, the system will
change the attention level colour,
silence the audio in the vehicle (if it is
active) and emit audible chimes to
invite the driver to take the control of
the vehicle again. This is the only way
to reengage the system.
Hands Detection on Steering
Wheel The sensors in the steering wheel
outer crown are able to detect the
presence of the hands on the steering
wheel. In order to be able to use the HAS
system, place your hands around the
steering wheel outer crown.
NOTE:
• The sensors are not able to detect
the presence of the hands on the
steering wheel areas covered in
wood, plastic bezels or carbon
inserts (where present).
HAS is deactivated if the steering
wheel is no longer being touched.
System Statuses The active status of the HAS system is
indicated by the green attention level
colour which is maintained even if the
driver releases his/her grip from the
steering wheel up to 3 seconds.
The yellow attention level colour
appears when the driver removes
his/her hands from the steering wheel for 3 to 5 seconds and the
symbol
with the figure of the hands will
occupy the whole central area of the
display.
The red attention level colour appears
when the driver releases his/her grip
from the steering wheel for 5 and up
to 10 seconds: in this case a single
audible chime is repeated until he/she Driver Assist Page
