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 know 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

When you open a door to get into the
car
, the instrument cluster turns on.
The TFT displays the complete
odometer, time, outside temperature
and the
open doors indicator.
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.
Make sure that the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB) is applied.
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. Press the brake pedal and turn the key
in
the ignition switch to MAR (ON)
position.
Instrument cluster displays the initial
sequence with warning light and
analog instruments test routine.
Turn the key into AVV position and
release it when the engine starts. The
key will return to MAR (ON) position
automatically.
Do not hold the key in AVV position
for a long time.
If the engine fails to start, the starter
will disengage automatically after 10
seconds. If you wish to stop the
cranking of the engine prior to
starting it, turn the key to STOP (OFF)
position.
If the engine does not start, turn the
key to STOP (OFF) position and wait
for the gear display to go off. Then
repeat the entire procedure.
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a
warm engine is obtained without
pumping or pressing the accelerator

system.
ESC System Operations
In order to prevent unstable driving
conditions, the ESC system may request
the transmission system to deactivate
gearshifting. The system handles this
request depending on the gear
engaged and on the rpm, and decides
whether to accept it or not.
Driving with Cruise Control
With the Cruise Control function
activated, the transmission system
selects such settings as to provide
enhanced comfort and fuel-economy.
MC Start Strategy (for MC version
only)
With the aim of optimizing standing
starts for performance driving (only
recommended for use in areas closed
to traffic and in accordance with the
Highway Code), the automatic
transmission system is equipped with
quick start strategy.
This strategy is activated when the
following conditions occur
simultaneously:
• AUTO and SPORT modes active;
•
ESC mode off;
• brake pedal depressed. In these conditions, the driver has the
possibility to accelerate and, keeping
the brake pedal depressed, keep the
vehicle standing until reaching an
engine speed between 2300 an 2500
rpm. Then, upon releasing the brake
pedal, have the best standing start
performance.
WARNING!
This strategy must only be used on
vehicles in areas closed to traffic, in
accordance with the Highway Code
and only by skilled drivers.
Transmission Malfunction and
Overheating Conditions Transmission Failure
Transmission function is electronically
monitored to detect abnormal
conditions. If a condition that could
result in transmission damage is
detected, Transmission Limp Home
Mode will be activated. In this
situation, the transmission may
operate only in certain gears, or may
not shift at all.
CAUTION!
In these conditions, we recommended that you stop the vehicle and turn off
the engine for at least one minute.
When restarting the engine, the
self-diagnosis system may cancel the
malfunction, which will in any case be
recorded by the ECU.
A message and the
warning light
in the instrument cluster will inform
the driver about the transmission
failure.
In failure conditions, the transmission
shift lever can however be shifted to R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) and D (Drive)
position.
When shifting to D (Drive) position,
only a few gears will be available,
depending on the malfunction found.
CAUTION!
If a transmission failure is signaled,
take your vehicle to the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible to have the problem
corrected.
If the failure is signaled when the
engine
is started, it means that the
transmission ECU detected a fault
when the vehicle was last used. Also in
this case, take your vehicle to the
nearest Center of the AuthorizedDriving

brake fluid level immediately (see
"Maintenance Procedure" in section
“Maintenance and Care”). If fluid is
below the minimum level, top up
with the recommended fluid and
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer immediately to have the
system checked. Brake fluid leaks
affect the operation of the braking
systems.
• The brake system performance in
terms of active safety is not a reason
for the driver to run unnecessary
risks. The driving style shall always
be suited to weather conditions,
range of visibility and traffic.
• The maximum deceleration that can
be obtained always depends on the
tire grip on the road surface. With
snow or ice on the road the grip is
obviously reduced and the braking
distance is very high, even with the
ABS system.
Brake Pads and Brake Discs Wear on the brake pads and brake
discs depends to a great extent on the
driving style and the conditions of use
and therefore cannot be expressed in
actual kilometers driven on the road. The high-performance brake system is
designed for optimal braking effect at
all speeds and temperatures.
Certain speeds, braking forces and
ambient conditions (e.g. temperature,
humidity and long outdoor stopping
periods) can therefore cause the
brakes to "squeal". This is normal and
will cease after a few brakings.
New Brake Pads and/or Brake
Discs New brake pads have to be “broken
in”, and therefore only attain optimal
friction to the brake disc when the
vehicle has covered several
hundreds km.
During this first period, the slightly
reduced braking ability must be
compensated for by pressing the brake
pedal harder. This applies whenever
the brake pads and/or brake discs are
replaced.
Brake Overheating Driving on mountain roads with steep
slopes or a sports use of the vehicle
could overheat the brake system
components. In these conditions,
parking brake must not be used since
the push on the brake shoes of the
power actuator might not be sufficient to ensure vehicle braking, especially on
a slope.
Drive normally without braking to
allow the brakes to cool down a few
minutes before stopping. In this way,
the automatic or manual activation of
the parking brake will ensure vehicle
braking.Driving

• Under-inflation increases tire flexing
and can result in tire overheating.
• Over-inflation reduces a tire's ability
to cushion shock. Objects on the
road and potholes can cause
damage that results in tire failure.
• Over-inflated or under-inflated tires
can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause
steering problems.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side
of the vehicle to the other can cause
the vehicle to drift to the right or
left.
• Always drive with each tire inflated
to the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure.
Economy
Improper inflation pressures may
cause uneven wear patterns to
develop across the tire tread. These
abnormal wear patterns will reduce
tread life resulting in a need for
earlier tire replacement. Under-
inflation also increases tire rolling
resistance resulting in higher fuel
consumption. Ride comfort and vehicle stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a
comfortable ride. Over-inflation
produces a jarring and uncomfortable
ride.
Tire Pressure Checkup The proper cold tire inflation pressure
is indicated on the driver's side rear
door pillar and on the table “Tire
Inflation Pressure” in section
“Features and Specifications”.
Inflation pressure specified on the
table always refers to “cold tire
inflation pressure”. Cold tire inflation
pressure is defined as the tire pressure
after the vehicle has not been driven
for at least three hours, or driven less
than 1 mi (1,6 km) after a three hour
period.
Check tire pressures more often in
case of significant outside
temperature changes, as tire pressure
varies according to temperature
changes.
The pressure should be checked and if
necessary adjusted; tire wear and
overall conditions should also be
checked monthly. Tire pressures
change by approximately 1 PSI (0,07
bar) per 12°F (7°C) of air temperature
change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage,
especially in winter.
Example: If garage temperature = 68°F
(20°C) and the outside temperature =
32°F (0°C) then the cold tire inflation
pressure should be increased by 3 PSI
(0,21 bar) for every 12°F (7°C) for this
outside temperature condition.
Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6
PSI (0,13 to 0,4 bar) during operation.
DO NOT reduce this normal pressure
build-up or your tire pressure will be
too low. After inspecting or adjusting
the tire pressure, always reinstall the
valve stem cap. This will prevent
moisture and dirt from entering the
valve stem, which could damage the
valve stem and the TPMS sensor
connected to it.
Tread Wear Indicators Tread wear indicators are in the
original equipment tires to help you
determine when your tires should be
replaced.
These indicators are molded into the
bottom of the tread grooves.
When the tread is worn to one of the
tread wear indicators, the tire should
be replaced. Driving

asphalt is significantly reduced. This
means that braking distances increase
considerably and road grip decreases.
Some advices for driving in the rain
are listed below.
• Reduce your speed and keep a
greater safety distance from the
vehicles in front of you. High speed
may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
• When driving on wet or slushy roads,
it is possible for a wedge of water to
build up between the tire and road
surface. This is known as
aquaplaning and may cause partial
or complete loss of vehicle control
and stopping ability. To reduce this
possibility: slow down if the road has
standing water or puddles.
• Heavy rain substantially reduces
visibility. In these circumstances, even
during the day, turn on the low
beams, to be more visible to other
drivers.
• Set the air conditioning and heating
system controls on the defogging
function, in order to avoid any
visibility problem.
• Periodically check the conditions of
the windshield wiper blades. • In low grip conditions use “ICE”
drive mode (see chapters “Drive
Mode” in this section).
Driving in Fog
If the fog is dense, avoid traveling if
possible.
When driving in mist, blanket fog or
when there is the possibility of banks
of fog, please consider some advices
listed below.
• Keep a moderate speed.
• Even in daytime, turn on the low
beams and rear fog lights. Do not
use the high beams.
• Remember that fog creates
dampness on the asphalt and thus
any type of maneuver is more
difficult and braking distances are
extended.
• Keep a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
• Avoid sudden changes in speed as
much as possible.
• Whenever possible, avoid
overtaking.
• If you are forced to stop the vehicle
(breakdowns, impossibility of
proceeding due to poor visibility,
etc.), first of all, try to stop off of the
travel lane. Then turn on the hazard warning flashers and, if possible, the
low beams.
• Sound the horn rhythmically if you
hear another vehicle approaching.
• When you get out of the vehicle, put
on the high-visibility vest (if
equipped).
CAUTION!
Be aware that rear fog lights can
bother the drivers following your
vehicle: when visibility is back to
normal, turn off these lights.
Driving in the Mountains
Mountain
roads usually have many
narrow turns and curves, tunnels and
steep uphill or downhill slopes: please
consider some advices listed below.
• Drive at a moderate speed, avoid
“cutting” corners.
• When driving inside a tunnel in
daylight turn on the low beams in
advance; avoid high beams and be
aware of the rapid brightness
change. Avoid abrupt maneuvers
that could be dangerous for the
following vehicle.
• Never coast downhill with the
engine off or in neutral, and never Driving

Engine Overheating To reduce potentially overheating of
the engine in city traffic, while
stationary, place the transmission in N
(Neutral), but do not increase the
engine idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to
slow down an impending overheat
condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on,
turn it off. The A/C system adds heat
to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove
this heat.
• You can also turn the temperature
control to maximum heat, the mode
control to floor and the blower
control to high. This allows the
heater core to act as a supplement to
the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system
could damage the engine. If the
temperature gauge is positioned on
the red zone (refer to “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”), pull over
and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
with the air conditioner turned off
until the temperature gauge drops
back into the normal range. If the
temperature gauge remains on the red
zone turn the engine off immediately
and contact the Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by
hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or
steam from your radiator. If you see or
hear steam coming from under the
hood, do not open it until the radiator
has had time to cool.
Never try to open a coolant bottle
pressure cap (refer to “Maintenance
Procedures” in section “Maintenance
and Care”) when the radiator is
overheated. In case of a Punctured Tire The vehicle can be equipped with a
tire repair kit or with a compact spare
wheel.
Using Tire Repair Kit Small punctures up to 1⁄4” (6 mm) in
the tire tread can be sealed using the
tire repair kit, fitted beneath the floor
panel of the trunk compartment.
The kit comes in a bag and consists of
two parts:
• an electric compressor with pressure
gage, hose to be connected to the
punctured tire and power cable;
• a gas cylinder containing sealant.

Freeing the Stuck Vehicle If your vehicle is stuck in mud, sand, or
snow, it can probably be moved
backward and forward by a simple
rocking motion.
Steer the wheel right and left to clear
the area around the front wheels.
Shift then between D (Drive) or
MANUAL mode and R (Reverse) (see
chapter “Automatic Transmission” and
“Drive Mode” in section “Driving”).
Shifting to MANUAL mode, try to free
the car starting in second gear.
At low speed motion of the vehicle,
you can switch quickly from D (Drive)
to R (Reverse), and vice versa, just by
pressing the release button on the
shift lever.
For more effectiveness press lightly on
the accelerator pedal in order to avoid
wheel slippage.
If unable to release the vehicle in one
of the previously described ways, enter
the low-grip driving mode, by pressing
the “ICE” button, and completely
exclude the yaw and slip control
system, by pressing the
(ESC Off)
button for at least 2 seconds. Moving
the shift lever between D (Drive) and R
(Reverse) to start. CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the
drive wheels may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. Allow the
engine to idle with the shift lever in N
(Neutral) for at least one minute after
every five rocking-motion cycles. This
will minimize overheating and reduce
the risk of transmission failure during
prolonged efforts to free a stuck
vehicle.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive drive
wheel speeds may cause damage, or
even failure, of the drivetrain and
tires. Emergency Starting with
Maserati Code If the Maserati CODE fails to
deactivate the engine immobilizer, the
CODE warning light will illuminate
permanently, while the
MIL
warning light will go off after four
seconds and will turn on again
immediately afterward: the engine will
not start.
To start the engine, follow the
emergency starting procedure.
Emergency Starting Procedure NOTE:
We recommend that you carefully read
the entire procedure before
performing it. If you make a mistake,
turn the key in the ignition switch to
STOP (OFF) position and repeat the
operations from the first step.

A/C Air Filter Replacement This filter performs mechanic/
electrostatic air filtering, provided
that windows and doors are perfectly
closed.
Have your filter replaced at least once
a year at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer , preferably at the beginning of
the summer period.
If the vehicle is mainly used in the city
traffic, on highways or dusty roads, we
recommend that you replace the
filters more frequently than prescribed
in the "Scheduled Service Plan" of this
section.
CAUTION!
Failure to replace the filter may
considerably reduce the air
