• 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

windshield where the forward-facing
camera is located or 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 .

“Services” section on the website
www.maserati.com. Highway Assist – HAS
(optional, with ACC only) The Highway Assist (HAS) is a level 2
Autonomy system (in reference to
NHTSA standards) that is designed to
aid the driver in the steering,
acceleration, and braking functions of
the vehicle.
HAS is designed to only function on
highways or limited access freeways.
HAS centers the vehicle by controlling
the EPS system based off of lane line
information from the forward-facing
camera and data from the front radar
sensor.
HAS combines ACC and LKA to
manage the steering and speed of the
vehicle under specific conditions. The
conditions to engage HAS are listed in
the next paragraph. If a lane line cross
is imminent, the steering wheel will vibrate and a graphic will display on
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
• In case the vehicle approaches a
curve that is too tight in relation to
the current speed the system will
disengage, therefore the driver must
be prepared to take over control of
the vehicle immediately at any time.
To avoid this situation it is important
that the vehicle speed is not set
higher than the current speed limit
of the road.
• Highway Assist (HAS) is a hands-on
feature! You must keep your hands
on the steering wheel at all times.
The HAS system will disengage and
ACC will cancel if your hands are
removed from the steering wheels
for a set amount of time.
• HAS is intended for use only on
highways or limited access freeways
with a fully attentive driver. When
using HAS, hold the steering wheel
and be aware of surrounding traffic
and road conditions. Always be
prepared to immediately take over
control of the vehicle from the HAS
system. Failure to follow theseDriving
5
274

maximum speed, the system will start
automatically.
• If the ACC target speed is set under
the maximum speed, HAS is active
and vehicle speed increases above
the maximum speed due to slope,
HAS will continue to function.
HAS Monitoring on Instrument
Cluster HAS and the other ADAS systems
conditions can be monitored on
instrument cluster display by accessing
the “Driver Assist” page with the
buttons on the steering wheel (see
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
The
symbol in grey indicates that
the HAS system is active, but not
engaged and is shown at the centre of
the TFT display when the “Driver
Assist” page is displayed. When exiting
the "Driver Assist" page, on TFT
display top left corner, the
grey
symbol will appear in the multiple
light of active ADAS systems. In addition to these symbols, on the
TFT top and bottom edge a coloured
glow may appear (further referred to
as "attention level colour"). Attention
level colour together with the outline
of the symbol
represent a further
indication of the system status. When exiting the “Driver Assist” page,
the attention level colour will always
be displayed until the system is
disabled by pressing the
button on
the steering wheel.
The HAS system uses sensors in the
steering wheel outer crown to detect
if the driver’s hands are on the
steering wheel. If the driver’s hands
are not detected on the steeringDriver Assist Page

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

• 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.
(Continued)Driving
5
279

(Continued)
• The performance of TSA depends on
the update degree of navigation
system’s maps.
Customised Settings TSA is configurable by the customer
regarding the display mode on the
instrument cluster and the warning
sensitivity.
Entering "Controls" page on MTC+
display the driver can see the current
setting beside the "Traffic Sign Assist"
soft-key.
Touching “Traffic Sign Assist” soft-key
can disable or enable the system.
Touching the soft-key on the side the
driver can change the setting.
The display of the traffic signs can be
blinking or static.
The system can be set to display the
traffic signs when the speed of the vehicle is equal to the speed limit
allowed, or when it is higher than 5 or
10 mph (5 or 10 km/h).
Signs Monitoring on
Instrument Cluster
If TSA feature is set and a sign or a
speed limit is detected, the related
icons are displayed in the upper area
of the instrument cluster beside of the
main menu number and scroll arrows. The display area is divided in three
different sectors:
1 Conditioned speed limit area.
2 Unconditioned speed limit area.
3 Overtaking restriction area.
NOTE:
Overtaking restriction sign will be
displayed only in markets where this is
allowed.
If “Blinking On” warning mode is set,
when the visual warning is provided
only the unconditioned speed limit (in
sector 2 ) will start blinking when the
vehicle speed exceeds to the detected
unconditioned speed limit (“+0 mph”
or “+0 km/h” option) or when it
exceeds the set sensitivity value
(“+5 mph” - “+5 km/h” or “+10 mph” -
“+10 km/h” options). If the vehicleDriving

will monitor the actual tire pressure
in the tire.
Premium System The TPMS system uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors mounted to
each wheel as part of the valve stem
transmit tire pressure readings to the
receiver module.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:
• receiver module;
• four TPMS sensors;
• various TPMS messages, which
display on the instrument cluster;
• warning light
.
Tire Pressure Low Warning
The TPMS light will illuminate in
the instrument cluster and an acoustic
signal will notify that tire pressure is
low in one or more of the four tires. The instrument cluster will also display
a screenshot reporting the pressure
values of each tire with flashing low
pressure value.
Should this occur, you should stop as
soon as possible and inflate the tire/s
with the low pressure (the one/s
flashing in the instrument cluster
graphic) to the recommended cold
pressure inflation value. Once the
system receives the updated tire
pressure value, the system will automatically update, the graphic
display in the instrument cluster will
stop flashing, and the TPMS light
will turn off. The vehicle may need
to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to acquire and process the
updated information.
Tire Pressure System Fault
If a system fault is detected, the TPMS
light
will flash for 75 seconds and
then remain lit followed by a beeping
sound. Therewith, the instrument
cluster will display a "Service Tire
Pressure System" message for a
minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (--) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which
sensor is ineffective.
If the ignition switch is cycled, the
sequence will repeat, in case the
system fault still persists. If the system
fault no longer exists, the TPMS light
will no longer flash, and the
"Service Tire Pressure System"
message will no longer be displayed,
and a pressure value will be displayed
in place of the dashes.
A system fault can occur due to any of
the following:
• Signal interference due to electronic
devices or driving next to facilitiesDriving
5
291

emitting the same radio frequencies
as the TPMS sensors.
• Installing aftermarket window
tinting that contains materials that
may block radio wave signals.
• Accumulation of snow or ice around
the wheels or wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
The instrument cluster will also display
a "Service Tire Pressure System"
message for a minimum of five
seconds when a system fault related to
an incorrect sensor location fault is
detected. In this case, the "Service Tire
Pressure System" message is then
followed by a graphic display with
pressure values still shown. This
indicates that the pressure values are
still being received from the TPMS
sensors but they may not be located in
the correct vehicle position. The system
still needs to be serviced as long as the
"Service Tire Pressure System" message
is displayed. Vehicles with Compact Spare Tire
• The compact spare tire does not have
a TPMS sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure of the
compact spare tire.
• If you replace a tire having pressure
below the low-pressure warning
limit, with the compact spare tire, on
the next ignition switch cycle, the
TPMS light
will illuminate
followed by a beeping sound. In addition, the graphic in the
instrument cluster will still display a
flashing pressure value
corresponding to the compact tire
position.
• After driving the vehicle for up to 20
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the
TPMS light
will flash for 75
seconds and then remain lit. The
instrument cluster will then display a
"Service Tire Pressure System"
message for a minimum of five
seconds and then display dashes (--)
in place of the pressure value.
• Each subsequent ignition switch cycle
will be followed by a beeping sound,
the TPMS light
will flash for 75
seconds and then remain lit. The
instrument cluster will then display a
"Service Tire Pressure System"
message for a minimum of five
seconds and subsequently displaysDriving
5
292

dashes (--) in place of the pressure
value.
• Once you repair, replace or reinstall
a tire with the compact spare tire,
the TPMS will update automatically.
The TPMS light
will turn OFF and
the graphic in the instrument cluster
will display a new pressure value
instead of dashes (--), as long as no
tire pressure is below the
low-pressure warning limit in any of
the four tires. The vehicle may need
to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to acquire and process the
updated information.
TPMS Deactivation The TPMS can be deactivated if
replacing all four tire rims with wheel
and tire assemblies not using of TPMS
sensors, such as winter wheel and tire assemblies. After replacing all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with tires not equipped with Tire
Pressure Monitoring System sensors,
drive the vehicle for 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will
chime, the TPMS light
will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on and the instrument cluster
will display the “Service Tire Pressure
System” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure
values. Beginning with the next
ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will no
longer chime or display the “Service
Tire Pressure System” message in the
instrument cluster but dashes (--) will
remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road
tires) with tires equipped with TPMS
sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the
TPMS light
will flash for 75 seconds
and then turn off. The instrument
cluster will then display the “Service
Tire Pressure System” message.
The instrument cluster will also display
pressure values in place of the dashes
(--). On the next ignition switch cycle
the “Service Tire Pressure System”
message will no longer be displayed as
long as no system fault exists.

Fuel Requirements The engines are designed to meet all
environmental regulations and provide
excellent fuel economy and
performance when using unleaded
premium gasoline with an AKI octane
rating of 91 or above. AKI (Anti Knock
Index) is an average on the Research
Octane Number, RON, and the Motor
Octane Number, MON (RON + MON/2
gives you the AKI).
For vehicle top performance, use
unleaded premium gasoline with no
less than 93 minimum AKI octane
rating.
Poor quality gasoline can cause
problems such as hard starting,
stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before
considering service for the vehicle at
an Authorized Maserati Dealer .
Besides using unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane rating, gasoline that
contain detergents, anti-corrosion and
stability additives are recommended.
Using gasoline that have these
additives may help improve fuel
economy, reduce emissions, and
maintain vehicle performance. CAUTION!
• Maserati strongly recommends the
use of Premium unleaded fuel ONLY.
Use of lesser grade fuel (other than
Premium) will lead to reduced
engine performance, and poor fuel
economy and can lead to the
Malfunction Indicator Light
illuminating on the instrument
cluster. Continued use of lesser grade
fuel (other than Premium fuel) can
lead to engine misfire problems and
possible catalytic converter damage.
• The anti-pollution devices of the
vehicle require unleaded fuel to be
used at all times. Under no
circumstance, not even in an
emergency, should leaded fuel be
supplied to the fuel tank, not even a
minimum quantity. This would
irreparably damage the catalytic
converters. An inefficient catalytic
converter results in noxious exhaust
emissions which damage the
environment.
Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country require the
use of cleaner burning gasoline,
referred to as “Reformulated Gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline
contains oxygenates and are
specifically blended to reduce vehicle
emissions and improve air quality.
Maserati supports the use of
reformulated gasoline. Properly
blended reformulated gasoline will
provide excellent performance and
durability of engine and fuel system
components.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded
gasoline with oxygenates such as
Ethanol. Fuels blended with
oxygenates may be used in your
vehicle.
CAUTION!
DO NOT use gasoline containing
Methanol or gasoline containing more
than 10% Ethanol. Use of these blends
may result in starting and driveability
problems, damage critical fuel system
components, cause emissions to exceed
the applicable standard, and/or cause
the Malfunction Indicator Light
to
illuminate (see “Instrument Cluster” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”. Pump labels should clearly
communicate if a fuel contains greaterDriving
