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 .

Active Blind Spot Assist -
ABSA (optional, with ACC
only) ABSA system is only available on
vehicles equipped with ACC system
and represents an addition to the BSA
previously described (see chapter
"Blind Spot Assist - BSA" of this
section).
ABSA adds to the BSA the possibility in
certain circumstances to avoid and or
mitigate side collisions with vehicles
proceeding in the adjacent lanes by
changing the car's direction in order
to try to keep it inside the
detected/estimated lane. A steering
wheel vibration is used as further
feedback to warn the driver that the
lane change is not safe.
The main logic core is the front radar,
whereas the sense inputs are the
radars on the rear bumper fascia used
for sensing the presence of vehicle in
the blind spot areas and the forward
facing camera placed behind the
internal rear-view mirror that instead
is used for lane detection and
estimation.
ABSA is designed to help the driver to
avoid mitigate a collision. Torque and
vibration application is however available in the 37 - 112 mph (60 -
180 km/h) speed interval. All the speed
thresholds related to the BSA remain
still valid, since ABSA as mentioned is
BSA extension.
ABSA is intended as a “hands-on”
function meaning that the driver is
required to stay engaged in the
driving all the time with his/her hands
on the steering wheel, in case hands
are not on the steering wheel for a
certain time there cannot be any
steering torque application vibration
included.
System Availability ABSA is designed for an attentive
driver therefore the system is available
only when his/her hands are on the
steering wheel or with hands off for a
very limited amount of time. When
the system is enabled, it will trigger
cluster warning in case at least one
hand is not detected on the steering
wheel.
The torque application as well as the
vibration are suppressed/inhibited in
case of: high driver torque in the
steering wheel, high lateral
acceleration, hands not on the
steering wheel detected for more than
a certain time. Highly dynamic behaviours, driving on
the lane boundary, off course will
prevent the function from working.
FCW braking and stability system
interventions (ESC, ABS) will also
prevent the system from operating.
Changing lane results in system
inhibition for a certain time.
In addition the road must respect
some characteristics such as minimum-
maximum width, lane clearly defined
by two lane boundaries and only in
limited case for a limited time at least
one.
NOTE:
• In case of wet road or raining
conditions the function could be
disabled by the system in order to
minimize the risks.
• With lane boundaries it is mainly
referred to painted lines,
nevertheless the system in good
conditions might properly recognise
as valid lane boundaries also other
types (for example road edges,
curbs, etc..).Driving

• ABSA “Strength": it tunes the
steering torque value to have a
stronger or weaker directional
correction/deviation.
Blind Spot Assist in "Visual & Haptic"
Mode
When the system is on and configured
“Visual & Haptic” then the ABSA is
enabled and to the conventional
visual warnings is added the steering
torque and vibration.
When operating in this mode, the
system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate outside rear-view mirror
when it detects a vehicle or an object
in the detection areas monitored by its
sensors. In case of turn indicator
activation on the appropriate side, the
system will react with a torque on the
steering wheel to try to prevent the
lane change and therefore to
avoid/mitigate the collision. The
torque on the steering is applied
when the car is very close to the lane
boundary as a further feedback to
warn the driver of the unsafe
maneuver.
NOTE:
• The steering torque is not supplied if
the system is not able to estimate a
lane and if the turn indicator from
the appropriate side is not inserted. • The presence of the hands on the
steering wheel is detected by a logic
combination of a capacitive sensor
installed in the steering wheel and
the measured applied torque at the
steering column. This leads to a
more robust hands detection.
WARNING!
• Risk of accident despite steering
torque application of Active Blind
Spot Assist (ABSA).
• A course-correcting steering torque
application cannot always prevent a
collision.
• The driver is always required to
steer, brake or accelerate themself,
especially if ABSA warns or makes a
course correcting steer intervention.
• Always maintain a safe distance at
the sides.
• Steering torque application may be
interrupted at any time by counter
steering by the driver.
RCP - Rear Cross Path
Operation RCP operation is the same as described
in chapter "Blind Spot Assist - BSA". When ABSA is turned off from MTC+
"Controls" page, there will be no
visual or audible alerts from RCP
subsystem.
When ABSA is turned on with any
setting,RCP subsystem 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.
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 Fault The ABSA system cannot properly
operate either due to a fault of its
components, or because the area onDriving

• Lateral accelerations exceeds the
limits.
NOTE:
• When HAS cancels, the symbol
will turn red then grey.
• The presence of the hands on the
steering wheel is detected by a logic
combination of a capacitive sensor
installed in the steering wheel and
the measured applied torque at the
steering column. This leads to a
more robust hands detection.
System Limitations HAS is unable to guide the vehicle
when the following conditions occur.
• Lane markings are not clear or
visibility is poor (i.e. heavy rain,
snow, fog, etc.).
• Obstructed, covered or damaged
forward-facing camera or sensor.
• When driving on hills or sharp
curves.
• When approaching toll booths.
• When the highway entrance or exit
is wider than 20 ft (6 meters).
• Bright light (ex. direct sunlight or
glare) facing the forward camera. WARNING!
Many unforeseen conditions can occur
that can affect the performance of
Highway Assist (HAS). Always keep
this in mind and drive attentively. It is
the drivers responsibility to keep
control of the vehicle at all times.
Radar Device - Regulatory
Information The “Regulatory Information” for all
the radio frequency and radar devices
can be consulted by accessing the
“Services” section on the website
www.maserati.com.Traffic Sign Assist – TSA
(optional) TSA detects traffic signs through the
use of a forward-facing digital camera
mounted on windshield, behind the
rear-view mirror. TSA assists the driver
by displaying on the instrument
cluster detected speed limits and
traffic signs with a restriction
indicated by an additional sign (e.g. in
snow conditions). TSA also uses the
data of the navigation system, in
order to provide information to the
driver in all cases in which the camera
is not able to detect the traffic signs
that are present on the road where
the car is travelling.
Some examples of these are: due to
low visibility, light reflection, damaged
traffic signs, traffic signs in wrong
position like rotated or fallen poles.
NOTE:
• Overtaking restriction signs are not
displayed by the TSA system.
• TSA provides a visual warning to the
driver when he/she unintentionally
reaches the maximum speed limit
allowed or when it exceeds the set
“Sensitivity” value.

• Pull the release cable moderately to
avoid its possible break. It's not
possible to feel or hear the unlocking
of the fuel filler door actuator.
• Then open normally the fuel filler
door. Driving Conditions Before the Trip Check the following at regular
intervals and always before long trips:
• tire pressure and condition;
• levels of fluids and lubricants;
• conditions of the windshield wiper
blades;
• clean the glass on the external light
and all other glass surfaces;
• proper operation of the indicator
lights and of the external lights.
CAUTION!
It is however advisable to perform
these checks at least every 600 mi
(1000 km) and always following the
maintenance schedule reported in
section “Maintenance and Care”.
Before you drive:
•
adjust seat position, steering wheel,
adjustable pedals (if equipped with)
and rearview mirrors in order to have
the best driving position;
• ensure that nothing (mat covers, etc.)
is obstructing the pedals movement;
• carefully arrange and secure any
objects in the trunk, to prevent them from moving forward in case of
sudden stops;
• avoid heavy meals before a trip. A
light snack helps keep your reflexes
sharp. In particular, avoid drinking
alcohol.
WARNING!
Passengers must only travel seated in
the vehicle seats, with the seat belts
fastened. Always check that the driver
and all passengers have the seat belts
correctly fastened.
Safe Driving Although the vehicle is equipped with
active and passive safety devices, the
driver's conduct is always a decisive
factor for road safety.
Some simple rules for traveling safely
in different conditions are listed
below. Some of them will probably
already sound familiar but, in any case,
it would be useful to read them
carefully.
Driving at Night
The main guidelines to follow when
driving at night are set out below.
• Drive carefully. Night conditions
demand more focus and attention.Driving

To Reconnect the Battery NOTE:
When the battery cables have been
disconnected and the trunk lid has
been locked, it is necessary to pull the
emergency release lever in order to
re-open it. To access the trunk and
operate the emergency release fold
one of the rear seatbacks (see “Cargo
Area” chapter in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”).
CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the
cables on the battery that the
positive cable is attached to the
positive post (+) and the negative
cable is attached to the negative
post (–).
• Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal posts and free of corrosion.
After the battery has been
disconnected
and re-connected and
before starting the engine it is
necessary to proceed as follows:
• Unlock and lock the doors using the
Key fob RKE Transmitter.
• Close manually the boot lid, unlock it
with the key fob RKE transmitter and
then lock it manually one more time. If the vehicle is equipped with Power
Boot Lid/Hand Free, manually
perform the complete closure. Then
move the lid automatically, using the
buttons on the lid itself, performing
a complete cycle of opening and
closing.
• Initialize the climate control system
by activating the system and pressing
the “AUTO” control as described in
chapter “Air Conditioning Controls”
in section “Dashboard Instruments
and Controls”.
• Turn on the MTC+ and set the date
and time (see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Lift, release and lift again the lever
on the central console to initialize
the electric parking brake. Following
this operation the
warning light
on the instrument cluster will turn
off.
• For correct activation of the
approach lights on the external
mirrors, press at least once the tilt
button on the driver's door panel so
that the door mode recognizes the
mirrors position. CAUTION!
• Every time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the ignition switch turned to
RUN before starting the engine, in
order to allow the electronic system
that manages the motor-driven
throttles to run a self-learning cycle.
At the same time, you can run the
date and time set up procedure for
the MTC+.
• Every time the battery is reconnected
the warning light
flash for about
10 seconds and then go off.

Taill-Light Clusters The lights are arranged as follows:
1 Position light guide LED.
2 Stop light LED.
3 Turn signal LED.
4 Reverse light bulb (W16W).
5 Rear fog light bulb (W16W).
Light Clusters Replacement Most of the lights in the front and
rear clusters and those integrated in
the exterior mirrors are LED powered
and cannot be replaced individually.
The only exceptions are the front fog
light bulbs.
Contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer to locate the correct parts and
replace them. Reverse Light
In order to replace the reverse light
bulb, open the trunk lid and proceed
as follows:
• Remove the cover on the fastening
screws by levering from below on
the indicated point.
• Using the screwdriver with torx-head
contained in the tool kit (see chapter
“Tool Kit” in section “In an
Emergency”), undo and remove the
two indicated fastening screws. • Remove the inspection cover from
the trunk compartment by levering
on the specific point.
• Using the 8 mm Allen wrench
contained in the tool kit (see chapter
“Tool Kit” in section “In an
Emergency”), undo and remove the
light fastening nut.
• From behind the vehicle, separate
the light cluster from the body by
gently pulling it out; do not tension
the connecting cable.Maintenance and Care

External plastic parts must be cleaned
with the same procedure followed for
the normal washing of the bodywork.
Avoid, as far as possible, parking the
vehicle under trees; the resinous
substances that very often drop from
the trees give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibility
of originating corrosive processes.
It is important that the drain holes in
the lower sides of the doors, rocker
panels, and trunk bottom be kept clear
and open.
CAUTION!
• Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly, since
their acidity is particularly corrosive.
• To provide better protection for the
paint, polish the vehicle at intervals
with a suitable product leaving a
protective film on the paint.
• If the vehicle is washed using
high-pressure water jets or cleaners,
it is important that the nozzle of the
jet be kept at a distance of at least
16 in (40 cm) from the bodywork to
avoid damaging it. Glass Surfaces
All
glass surfaces
should be cleaned on
a regular basis with any commercial
household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with electric
defrosters. Do not use scrapers or
other sharp instrument that may
scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
When cleaning is performed, keep all
metal objects at a safe distance from
the window.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that
are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch-resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of
scratching the lenses and reducing
light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by
rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning
components, solvents, steel wool or
other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Condensation and Fogging on the
Light Clusters
With cold or humid climates, after a
driving rain or after cleaning the car,
the surface of the front and rear light
clusters could fog and/or form
condensate drops on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
temperature and humidity differences
between the lens internal and external
surface, which nevertheless does not
indicate a fault and does not
compromise the regular operation of
the lights. The fogging/condensate
disappears when switching on the
lights, starting from the centre of the
diffuser and gradually going to the
edges.
Moldings and Aluminum Trims
• For cleaning moldings and aluminum
trims, avoid the use of acidic or
alkaline cleaning agents that can
destroy the protecting surface
treatment.
• After washing aluminum trim with
warm water, apply the cleaning
agent with a clean tissue or a soft
sponge on the surface. Do not useMaintenance and Care
