CAUTION!
The high beams can only be switched
on manually by pushing the left-hand
multifunction lever forward.
WARNING!
If the high beams are activated, they
will turn on automatically every time
the low beams are switched on either
manually or automatically. We
recommend therefore that you switch
them off when they are no longer
necessary and every time the twilight
sensor deactivates the external lights.
“Follow me Home” Function
This
function allows you to set a
timing for activation of the position
lights and low beams, so that they may
remain on for a set time after turning
off the vehicle.
This function is activated by pushing
the left-hand multifunction lever on
the steering column, used to flash the
headlights.
The position lights and low beams turn
on for 30 seconds, the message
“Follow me” appears on the
instrument cluster display for 20 seconds, and the light activation time
is displayed.
When this function is active, every
time the left-hand multifunction lever
for flashing the headlights is operated,
the time the lights remain on is
increased by 30 seconds, with a
maximum total time of 210 seconds.
The display will show the time set.
If the left-hand multifunction lever for
flashing the headlights is operated for
more than 2 seconds, the function is
deactivated, and the indicator on the
instrument cluster display goes off.
When the function is active, turning
the key in the ignition switch back to
MAR (ON) position deactivates the
system.
Front Domelights The front domelight includes a central

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 15 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 lateral buttons will light up
to facilitate use of the transmission
shift lever and the central console
controls.
In the event of a collision causing the
inertia switch activation, the
domelights turn on automatically for
approx. 15 minutes.
If one or more doors are opened, the
front and rear domelights will turn on
for approx. 3 minutes. If the door is
closed before this time, the lights will
dim and subsequently switch off after
about 10 seconds.

Warning and Indicator Lights
on Analog Instruments Low Fuel Indicator on Fuel Gage
The illumination of the red indicator
inside the gage indicates that there
are approx. 4.7 Gallons (18 liters) of
fuel in the tank.
If the pointer positions on "0"
(beginning of scale) and the fuel
reserve indicator flashes, it means that
there is a system malfunction.
In this case, contact an Authorized
Maserati Dealer to have the system
checked.
Telltales on Speedometer
Following telltales are displayed on
the fuel level gage and speedometer,
and related messages are visible for 10
seconds on the central sector of the
display, unless otherwise indicated. The telltales indicated with (*) are also
displayed on the TFT display (see “TFT
Display” paragraph in this chapter).
Charging System Warning Light
This warning light shows the
status of the electrical
charging system. If the light
stays on or comes on while
driving, turn off some of the vehicle's
non-essential electrical devices or
increase engine speed (if at idle). If
the charging system warning light
remains on, it means that the vehicle
is experiencing a problem with the
charging system. Require IMMEDIATE
service at an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Start Procedures” in section “In
an Emergency”. Malfunction Indicator Light (*)
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 key in the ignition switch is in
MAR (ON) position and switch off
soon after the engine is started.
This is a sign of the indicator light
working properly. If the indicator
remains lighted up 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.
Under these conditions you can
proceed slowly without forcing the
engine or driving at high speeds.
The indicator light will switch off if
the problem is solved.
The error will be registered by the
system in any case.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

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.

Engine Start Failure CAUTION!
• Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transmission cannot be started this
way.
• If the vehicle battery is dead, booster
cables may be used to obtain a start
from a booster battery or the
battery in another vehicle. This type
of start can be dangerous if done
improperly. See “Auxiliary Jump
Start Procedure” in section “In an
Emergency” for further information.
Starting by cold engine
Start-of
f slowly, avoiding sudden
acceleration and rev the engine up at
low medium speeds. High-
performance driving should be
avoided until the engine temperature
reaches 65-70°C (149-158°F).
Engine Turn-Off • Place the shift lever in P (Park) (see
“Automatic Transmission” in this
section).
• With the engine at idle, turn the key
in the ignition switch to STOP (OFF) position. A burst on the accelerator
pedal before turning off the engine
has no purpose and increases fuel
consumption.
WARNING!
Never leave a vehicle out of the P
(Park) position, as it could move.
The key can only be removed from the
ignition
switch when the transmission
is in P (Park) position and within 30
seconds after turning the key to STOP
(OFF) position. If you do not remove
the key within 30 seconds, you will
need to turn it back to MAR (ON) and
then to STOP (OFF) position to have a
further 30 seconds within which to
remove the key from the ignition
switch.
In the event that the key unlocking
system fails or if it is not possible to
shift the transmission to P (Park)
position, to remove the key you must
turn it to STOP (OFF) position, then
remove the cap shown in picture using

Automatic Transmission The electronic shift lever replaces the
conventional mechanical lever and has
no mechanical connection to the
transmission. The transmission is
operated by electrical actuators on the
hydraulic system and all commands to
the control system are transmitted by
the CAN network.
The automatic transmission has six
forward gear ratios and one reverse
gear. The gears can also be engaged
manually once you have shifted the
transmission shift lever to the sector
provided.
CAUTION!
In order to properly use the automatic
transmission, it is essential that you
read through the whole chapter, so
that you can understand right from
the start what the correct and
permitted operations are.
Damage to the transmission may occur
if the following precautions are not
observed:
• Shift into P (Park) only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
This is the default position of the
lever and should be used every time the key in the ignition switch is
turned to STOP (OFF) position.
• Shift into or out of R (Reverse) only
after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop and the engine is at
idle speed.
• Do not shift between P (Park), R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) or D (Drive)
when the engine is above idle speed.
• To effect any change from vehicle
stop to R (Reverse), D (Drive), 1 st
or
2 nd
gear, it is necessary to keep the
brake pedal fully depressed.
WARNING!
• It is dangerous to move the shift
lever out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) if
the engine speed is higher than idle
speed. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and when
your foot is firmly pressing on the
brake pedal.
• As with all vehicles, you should
never exit a vehicle while the engine
is running. Before exiting a vehicle,
always apply the electronic parking
brake, shift the transmission into P
(Park), and turn the engine off.
• When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition switch and lock your vehicle.
• Do not leave the key in or near the
vehicle.
The transmission system is equipped
with
"Shift-Lock" and "Key-Lock"
safety functions.
Shift-Lock
This safety function allows you to shift
from P (Park) to another position only
if the brake pedal is depressed. This
prevents the vehicle from involuntarily
jumping forward or backward.
Key-Lock
This function allows you to remove the
key from the ignition switch only
when the transmission shift lever is in
P (Park) position and within a
maximum time of 30 seconds. When
this time has elapsed, the key can no
longer be removed.
Automatic Transmission Lever Automatic transmission is operated by
a lever with unlock button to engage
R (Reverse) and P (Park) located on the
central console.
By using the transmission shift lever it
is possible to select following
positions, indicated on the gear display
at the side of the transmission shiftDriving
