Dashboard Compartment There are two glove box
compartments on the dashboard sides
to store small items or documents.
In the compartment below the climate
control panel, on the slider drawer
support can be housed the phone,
cards or small items. In this
compartment there are also the
multimedia ports (see “Interior
Features” in section “Understanding
the Vehicle” for further information).
WARNING!
Do not operate the vehicle with a
glove compartment lid in the open
position. Cellular phones, music
players, and other handheld electronic
devices should be stowed while
driving. Use of these devices while
driving could cause an accident due to
distraction.

Normal Starting of the
Engine WARNING!
It is dangerous to run the engine in an
enclosed area. The engine consumes
oxygen and discharges carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide and other
toxic gases in the atmosphere.
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
information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle
When doors are opened, the
instrument
cluster displays
the
Maserati Logo in the center and the
complete odometer plus the open
doors indicator
in the lower part of
the cluster.
Before starting the engine, close the
doors, adjust your seat, the inside and
outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt
and instruct all other occupants to
buckle their seat belts.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position before you can start
the engine. Apply the brakes before
shifting into any driving gear (see
“Automatic Transmission” in this
section). CAUTION!
• Before starting the engine, switch off
the electrical devices with a high
power consumption (air-conditioning
and heating system, heated rear
window, headlights, etc.).
• Do not start the engine if the fuel
level in the tank is low.
The keyless ignition allows the driver
to
operate the
ignition switch by
pushing the center button, as long as
the key fob RKE transmitter is within
the passenger compartment (check
“Keys” in section “Before Starting” for
further information).
By pressing the brake pedal and
pushing the START/STOP button the
engine starts. Instrument cluster
displays the initial sequence with
indicator light and analog instruments
test routine and switch-on of the
engine temperature indicators and
fuel level. This happens if option “On”
was set in screen settings for display
switch-on (see chapter “Instrument
cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).Driving

Active Alternator To improve overall efficiency by
reducing the auxiliary loads on the
engine, the vehicle is equipped with a
smart alternator that is mainly active
in the latter energy balance phases
(for example, during braking, coasting
and overloading).
The alternator becomes active when
the battery charge is insufficient and
when the vehicle exits from the
braking and overload situations.
Active Alternator Feature (if feature is
available)
In the I.C.E. screen, the user can
display in the form of dynamic bars
some informative parameters on the
state of battery charge ("CHARGE"),
efficiency of drive style ("EFFICIENCY")
and the matured economy (
bonus
range) expressed in miles (mi) or
kilometres (km). The bonus range (about 37 mi/60 km
for each full of fuel) is automatically
reset every time the vehicle is
refueled.
Parking Brake The vehicle is equipped with an
electric automatic parking brake, also
called EPB (Electric Parking Brake).
The EPB braking action on model with
“Base” braking system (equipped with
rear floating calliper) is ensured by a
power actuator directly working on
the brake pad inside each calliper of
the rear brake system.
All other modes with “Dual Cast”
braking system are equipped with a
dedicated calliper which acts on each
rear brake disc.
It can be automatically engaged when
the engine is turned off and
disengaged with engine running,
driver seatbelt latched and driver door
closed, while pressing the brake pedal
and operating the shift lever.
Furthermore, EPB can be automatically
engaged above a slope threshold with
the gearshift in P (Park) to avoid
damage to the vehicle. EPB can be
disengaged before turning off the
vehicle.
When the parking brake is applied,
the warning light
lights up on
the tachometer display and the
related message is displayed on the
instrument cluster for 5 seconds (see
“Instrument Cluster” in sectionDriving
5
233

“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
During engagement and
disengagement procedures, the
warning light
flashes until the
parking brake has reached its
maximum activation force and is
respectively fully released.
In the above-mentioned conditions,
the automatic engagement function
can be deactivated/activated by
selecting the menu item “Vehicle
settings” on the main menu (refer to
paragraph “Deactivating Automatic
Operation” in this chapter).
Manual Engagement/
Disengagement The parking brake can also be
manually engaged or disengaged
when the engine is running or the
ignition switch is in the RUN position, by pressing the brake pedal and
raising the lever located behind the
shift lever.
When the parking brake is applied, the
warning light
lights up on the
tachometer and the related message
will be displayed for 5 seconds on the
instrument cluster.
If you attempt to engage/disengage
the parking brake without having
pressed the brake pedal, a message
will be displayed, warning you to
proceed.
If the engine was turned off when the
automatic engagement device was
deactivated (see “Deactivating
Automatic Operation” in this chapter)
it is possible to shift the parking brake
simply by pulling the lever upward
within 3 minutes after turning off. CAUTION!
The main function of the EPB is to
allow safe parking of the vehicle,
therefore it must only be applied
when the vehicle is already stationary.
If the EPB is used while the vehicle is
moving and decelerating until a speed
lower of 3 mph (5 km/h) and, in
particular, until complete stop
(typically in a sudden brake), it is
necessary to have the EPB system
checked by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
WARNING!
• Always hold the brake pedal pressed
during engagement or
disengagement of the parking brake.
• The EPB command activation while
running generates a deceleration of
the vehicle with strong deceleration
(Dynamic Braking). It is therefore
recommended to use this feature
only in case of emergency. The
stability of the car is guaranteed by
the action of the activated ESC
system.Driving

CAUTION!
• Under normal conditions, all red
warning lights on the instrument
cluster display should be off. When
they come on, this indicates a
malfunction. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
• Continuing to drive when a red
warning light is on could cause
serious damage to the vehicle and
affect its performance.
Onboard Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated onboard diagnostic
system. This system monitors the
performance of the emissions, engine,
and automatic transmission control
systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will
provide excellent performance and
fuel economy, as well as engine
emissions well within current local
regulations of various countries.
If any of these systems require service,
the system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
It will also store diagnostic codes and
other information, which your Authorized Maserati Dealer will use to
service your vehicle. Although the
vehicle will still be driveable and not
need towing, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer for service as soon as
possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) on could cause further damage
to the emissions control system. It
could also affect fuel economy and
drivability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
•Ifthe
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is
required at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
• After the problem has been solved,
the Authorized Maserati Dealer
personnel will perform specific tests
for a complete check of the system
and, if necessary, road tests.Driving
