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 .

You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden
icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster
before and during windshield
