Headlights Leveling (only with
Bi-Xenon Headlights) A correct headlights leveling is crucial
for the safety of the vehicle’s
occupants and of people in the street.
Moreover it is included in the road
regulation law.
In order to obtain the best visibility
conditions while driving with
headlights on, the headlight beam
must be properly leveled.
Headlights leveling must be adjusted
at every change of the weight and
position of the passengers and/or of
the load carried.
A heavy load will weigh the vehicle
down and, as a consequence, the light
beam will be raised. In this case it is
important to adjust the beam to a
correct level using the right regulator
located on the side of the light switch. The regulator has 3 different
positions:
0 One or two people on the front
seats.
1 Four or five people in the
vehicle.
2 Four or five people + load in
the trunk.
During the regulation, the different
positions (0, 1 and 2) are visualized on
the TFT display.
Dome Lights The front and rear part of the dome,
include each a central and two reading
lights.
The central light automatically turns
on when one of the doors is opened
and turns off when the door is closed
(timed switching off). The light may be switched on manually by pressing the
central button.
The reading lights are controlled by
the respective side buttons.
If they are turned on by pressing the
button, both central and reading lights
will stay on for about 10 minutes after
turning the engine off, and will then
turn off gradually.
When the exterior lights are switched
on, the two night LEDs fitted on the
side of the power buttons on the
overhead console will light up to
facilitate the use of the transmission
lever and the central console.Understanding the Vehicle

arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
• Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit : the
rain sensing feature will not operate
when the ignition is in RUN position,
the vehicle is stationary and the
outside temperature is below 32°F
(0°C). To resume, set the automatic
feature on the multifunction lever,
start the engine and drive or wait
until the outside temperature rises
above freezing.
• Wipe Inhibit with Transmission in
Neutral Position : the rain sensing
feature will not operate when the
ignition is placed in the RUN
position, the transmission shift lever
is in the N (Neutral) position and the
vehicle speed is less than 5 mph
(8 km/h). To resume, set the
multifunction lever to the automatic
function or move the shift lever out
of N (Neutral).
Headlights On with Windshield
Wipers When activating this function, the
headlights will light up approximately
10 seconds after the wipers acting on
the windshield are turned on if the
light switch is placed in “AUTO”
position. In addition, the headlights switch off when the wipers are turned
off (position “OFF”) if they were
previously turned by using this
function. Powering on Headlights with
wipers can be activated and
deactivated with the MTC+ System, see
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”
for further information.
Wiper Blade Maintenance When the wiper arms acting on the
windshield are in the rest position it is
not possible to check or replace the
blades (Service position) as they are
folded under the hood. To service the
blades (see paragraph “Wiper
Maintenance and Blades
Replacement” in chapter
“Maintenance Procedures” of section
“Maintenance and Care”) it is
necessary to shift the multifunction
lever to “OFF” and the ignition switch
to OFF position.
Shift the control lever within 15
seconds to the “MIST” position
(forward rotation of the end of the
multifunction control lever) and
release. The blades are brought in a
position enabling to open the wiper
arms and change the blades. It is possible to use the “MIST” position
for a maximum of 3 times within two
minutes, corresponding to different
three blades positions on the
windshield. When completed, bring
the ignition switch in RUN : the arms
will reposition. If necessary move the
multifunction lever to other required
operating positions.
WARNING!
Operate or service the windshield
wiper blades without deactivating the
wipers (“OFF” position), leaving the
ignition switch in RUN can be
dangerous for the operator since the
rain sensor may suddenly activate the
wipers. Always use “Service” position
for any intervention on the windshield
wiper blades.Understanding the Vehicle

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an
onboard diagnostic system
that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control
systems.
Under normal conditions, this
indicator light should switch on when
the ignition switch is in RUN position
and switch off soon after the engine is
started (the MIL does not shut off
immediately).
This is a sign of the indicator light
working properly. If the indicator
remains lit or switches on while
driving, there is a failure in the fuel
supply/ignition and emission control
systems.
The failure could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor
vehicle handling and high
consumption levels.
Should this occur, proceed with
caution to your Authorized Maserati
Dealer without heavy throttle
application or driving at high speeds.
Obey all applicable local traffic
regulations.
The indicator light will go out if the
problem is no longer present.
The error will be registered by the
system in any case. CAUTION!
• When the ignition switch is in the
RUN position and if the indicator
light does not switch on or if it
switches on while driving, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon
as possible.
• Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is
required. In addition, the OBDII
system incorporates a diagnostic
connector that can be interfaced
using diagnostic equipment. This
makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the control unit,
together with a set of specific
parameters for the engine operation
diagnostic cycle, for compliance with
CARB & EPA OBDII regulations.
Left Turn Signal Indicator Light
The
indicator lights
up when
the left turn signals or the
hazard flashers are turned on. The indicator light will flash at the
same frequency of the turn signals
and is controlled by the stalk switch
lever.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle drives for more than 1 mile
(1.6 km) with either turn signal on, a
continuous sound will alert the driver
to turn the signal off.
If the indicator flashes at a rapid rate,
check for a defective exterior light
bulb.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Light
This warning light is
connected to the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
Under normal conditions, the
warning light should illuminate when
the ignition switch is in RUN and
should go off once the engine is
started.
If the warning light remains lit or
illuminates while driving, the pressure
of one or more tires is too low and a
message will be displayed.
The TPMS malfunction warning light is
connected to the low tire pressure
monitoring light.
When the system detects a
malfunction, the monitoring light and
the related message will flash forDashboard Instruments and Controls
